Several architectures support text patching, but they name the header
files that declare patching functions differently.

Make all such headers consistently named text-patching.h and add an empty
header in asm-generic for architectures that do not support text patching.

<title>powerpc: Replace kretprobe code with rethook on powerpc</title>

<id>19f1bc3fb55452739dd3d56cfd06c29ecdbe3e9f</id>
<content type='text'>
This is an adaptation of commit f3a112c0c40d ("x86,rethook,kprobes:
Replace kretprobe with rethook on x86") to powerpc.

Rethook follows the existing kretprobe implementation, but separates
it from kprobes so that it can be used by fprobe (ftrace-based
function entry/exit probes). As such, this patch also enables fprobe
to work on powerpc. The only other change compared to the existing
kretprobe implementation is doing the return address fixup in
arch_rethook_fixup_return().

Reference to other archs:
commit b57c2f124098 ("riscv: add riscv rethook implementation")
commit 7b0a096436c2 ("LoongArch: Replace kretprobe with rethook")

Note:
=====

In future, rethook will be only for kretprobe, and kretprobe
will be replaced by fprobe.

https://lore.kernel.org/all/172000134410.63468.13742222887213469474.stgit@devnote2/

We will	adapt the above	implementation for powerpc once its upstream.
Until then, we can have	this implementation of rethook to serve
current	kretprobe usecases.

<title>powerpc/inst: Define ppc_inst_t as u32 on PPC32</title>

<content type='text'>
Unlike PPC64 ABI, PPC32 uses the stack to pass a parameter defined
as a struct, even when the struct has a single simple element.

To avoid that, define ppc_inst_t as u32 on PPC32.

Keep it as 'struct ppc_inst' when __CHECKER__ is defined so that
sparse can perform type checking.

Also revert commit 511eea5e2ccd ("powerpc/kprobes: Fix Oops by passing
ppc_inst as a pointer to emulate_step() on ppc32") as now the
instruction to be emulated is passed as a register to emulate_step().

Since now there is kretprobe_trampoline_addr() for referring the
address of kretprobe trampoline code, we don't need to access
kretprobe_trampoline directly.

Make it harder to refer by renaming it to __kretprobe_trampoline().

<title>kprobes: treewide: Use 'kprobe_opcode_t *' for the code address in get_optimized_kprobe()</title>

Since get_optimized_kprobe() is only used inside kprobes,
it doesn't need to use 'unsigned long' type for 'addr' parameter.
Make it use 'kprobe_opcode_t *' for the 'addr' parameter and
subsequent call of arch_within_optimized_kprobe() also should use
'kprobe_opcode_t *'.

Note that MAX_OPTIMIZED_LENGTH and RELATIVEJUMP_SIZE are defined
by byte-size, but the size of 'kprobe_opcode_t' depends on the
architecture. Therefore, we must be careful when calculating
addresses using those macros.

structures are passed in registers when passed by value. However, per
the ppc32 ABI, structures are always passed to functions as pointers.
This isn't being adhered to when setting up the call to emulate_step()
in the optprobe trampoline. Fix the same.

<title>powerpc/64s: avoid reloading (H)SRR registers if they are still valid</title>

When an interrupt is taken, the SRR registers are set to return to where
it left off. Unless they are modified in the meantime, or the return
address or MSR are modified, there is no need to reload these registers
when returning from interrupt.

Introduce per-CPU flags that track the validity of SRR and HSRR
registers. These are cleared when returning from interrupt, when
using the registers for something else (e.g., OPAL calls), when
adjusting the return address or MSR of a context, and when context
switching (which changes the return address and MSR).

This improves the performance of interrupt returns.

Use PPC_RAW_ macros to simplify the code.

And use PPC_LO/PPC_HI instead of IMM_L/IMM_H which are for
internal use inside ppc-opcode.h

Those macros are self explanatory, comments can go as well.
