Use perf framework to manage hardware instruction and data breakpoints.
Add two new ptrace calls: PTRACE_GETHBPREGS and PTRACE_SETHBPREGS to
query and set instruction and data breakpoints.
Address bit 0 choose instruction (0) or data (1) break register, bits
31..1 are the register number.
Both calls transfer two 32-bit words: address (0) and control (1).
Instruction breakpoint contorl word is 0 to clear breakpoint, 1 to set.
Data breakpoint control word bit 31 is 'trigger on store', bit 30 is
'trigger on load, bits 29..0 are length. Length 0 is used to clear a
breakpoint. To set a breakpoint length must be a power of 2 in the range
1..64 and the address must be length-aligned.

Introduce new thread_info flag: TIF_DB_DISABLED. Set it if debug
exception is raised by the kernel code accessing watched userspace
address and disable corresponding data breakpoint. On exit to userspace
check that flag and, if set, restore all data breakpoints.

Handle debug exceptions raised with PS.EXCM set. This may happen when
window overflow/underflow handler or fast exception handler hits data
breakpoint, in which case save and disable all data breakpoints,
single-step faulting instruction and restore data breakpoints.

<title>xtensa: use context structure for debug exceptions</title>

With implementation of data breakpoints debug exceptions raised when
PS.EXCM is set need to be handled, e.g. window overflow code can write
to watched userspace address. Currently debug exception handler uses
EXCSAVE and DEPC SRs to save temporary registers, but DEPC may not be
available when PS.EXCM is set and more space will be needed to save
additional state.
Reorganize debug context: create per-CPU structure debug_table instance
and store its address in the EXCSAVE&lt;debug level&gt; instead of
debug_exception function address. Expand this structure when more save
space is needed.

Do not always use fake NMI when safe, provide Kconfig option instead.
Print a warning if fake NMI is chosen in unsafe configuration, but allow
it, because it may work if the user knows that interrupts with
priorities at or above PMM IRQ are not used. Add a check to NMI handler
that BUGs if any of these IRQs fire.

In case perf IRQ is the highest of the medium-level IRQs, and is alone
on its level, it may be treated as NMI:
- LOCKLEVEL is defined to be one level less than EXCM level,
- IRQ masking never lowers current IRQ level,
- new fake exception cause code, EXCCAUSE_MAPPED_NMI is assigned to that
  IRQ; new second level exception handler, do_nmi, assigned to it
  handles it as NMI,
- atomic operations in configurations without s32c1i still need to mask
  all interrupts.

entry.s only disables IRQs on hardware IRQ, move trace_hardirqs_off call
into do_interrupt. Check actual intlevel that will be restored on return
from exception handler to decide if trace_hardirqs_on should be called.
Annotate IRQ on/off points in the TIF_* handling loop on return from
exception handler.

<title>xtensa: don't allow overflow/underflow on unaligned stack</title>

<id>3cfc096e4c4fbc234634cf8a30d40348a25fc9ba</id>
<content type='text'>
Double exceptions that happen during register window overflow/underflow
are handled in the topmost stack frame, as if it was the only exception
that occured. However unaligned access exception handler is special
because it needs to analyze instruction that caused the exception, but
the userspace instruction that triggered window exception is completely
irrelevant. Unaligned data access is rather normal in the generic
userspace code, but stack pointer manipulation must always be done by
architecture-aware code and thus unaligned stack means a serious problem
anyway.
Use the default unaligned access handler that raises SIGBUS in case
of unaligned access in window overflow/underflow handler.

  entry due to interrupt;
- don't attempt to clear current IRQ in the do_interrupt, IRQ handler
  will take care of it;
- find pending interrupt with highest priority before every ISR
