The current policies of breakpoints in x86 and SH are the following:
- task bound breakpoints can only break on userspace addresses
- cpu wide breakpoints can only break on kernel addresses
The former rule prevents ptrace breakpoints to be set to trigger on
kernel addresses, which is good. But as a side effect, we can't
breakpoint on kernel addresses for task bound breakpoints.
The latter rule simply makes no sense, there is no reason why we
can't set breakpoints on userspace while performing cpu bound
profiles.
We want the following new policies:
- task bound breakpoint can set userspace address breakpoints, with
no particular privilege required.
- task bound breakpoints can set kernelspace address breakpoints but
must be privileged to do that.
- cpu bound breakpoints can do what they want as they are privileged
already.
To implement these new policies, this patch checks if we are dealing
with a kernel address breakpoint, if so and if the exclude_kernel
parameter is set, we tell the user that the breakpoint is invalid,
which makes a good generic ptrace protection.
If we don't have exclude_kernel, ensure the user has the right
privileges as kernel breakpoints are quite sensitive (risk of
trap recursion attacks and global performance impacts).

This follows the x86 change and kills off the unthrottle stub. As the x86
change killed off the generic callback it isn't used anymore anyways.

This follows the x86 change 84d710926797a6e317e7e94654a3ccd771cfd8a3
("hw-breakpoints: Accept breakpoints on NULL address") and restores the
previous expected ptrace behaviour.

This is the next big chunk of hw_breakpoint support. This decouples
the SH-4A support from the core and moves it out in to its own stub,
following many of the conventions established with the perf events
layering.
In addition to extending SH-4A support to encapsulate the remainder
of the UBC channels, clock framework support for handling the UBC
interface clock is added as well, allowing for dynamic clock gating.
This also fixes up a regression introduced by the SIGTRAP handling that
broke the ksym_tracer, to the extent that the current support works well
with all of the ksym_tracer/ptrace/kgdb. The kprobes singlestep code will
follow in turn.
With this in place, the remaining UBC variants (SH-2A and SH-4) can now
be trivially plugged in.

This is the initial step for converting singlestep handling via ptrace
over to hw_breakpoints.

Presently the hw_breakpoint code is the primary notifier dispatch for
breakpoint traps, although it's only UBC traps that are of particular
interest there. This patches in a check to allow non-UBC generated
breakpoints to pass through down the remainder of the notifier chain,
giving things like kgdb a chance at getting notified.

The event callback handling has been removed in favour of going through a
generic event handler to handle overflows. Follows the x86 change.

This adds preliminary support for the SH-4A UBC to the hw-breakpoints API.
Presently only a single channel is implemented, and the ptrace interface
still needs to be converted. This is the first step to cleaning up the
long-standing UBC mess, making the UBC more generally accessible, and
finally making it SMP safe.
An additional abstraction will be layered on top of this as with the perf
events code to permit the various CPU families to wire up support for
their own specific UBCs, as many variations exist.
