This patch provides functionality to audit system call events on the
ARM platform. The implementation was based off the structure of the
MIPS platform and information in this
(http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/arm/2009-October/000382.html)
mailing list thread. The required audit_syscall_exit and
audit_syscall_entry checks were added to ptrace using the standard
registers for system call values (r0 through r3). A thread information
flag was added for auditing (TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT) and a meta-flag was
added (_TIF_SYSCALL_WORK) to simplify modifications to the syscall
entry/exit. Now, if either the TRACE flag is set or the AUDIT flag is
set, the syscall_trace function will be executed. The prober changes
were made to Kconfig to allow CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL to be enabled.
Due to platform availability limitations, this patch was only tested
on the Android platform running the modified "android-goldfish-2.6.29"
kernel. A test compile was performed using Code Sourcery's
cross-compilation toolset and the current linux-3.0 stable kernel. The
changes compile without error. I'm hoping, due to the simple modifications,
the patch is "obviously correct".

When we come to emulating Thumb instructions then, to interwork
correctly, the code on in the instruction slot must be invoked with a
function pointer which has the least significant bit set. Rather that
set this by hand in every Thumb emulation function we will add a new
field for this purpose to arch_specific_insn, called insn_fn.
This also enables us to seamlessly share emulation functions between ARM
and Thumb code.

When a probe fires we must single-step the instruction which was
replaced by a breakpoint. As the steps to do this vary between ARM and
Thumb instructions we need a way to customise single-stepping.
This is done by adding a new hook called insn_singlestep to
arch_specific_insn which is initialised by the instruction decoding
functions.
These single-step hooks must update PC and call the instruction handler.
For Thumb instructions an additional step of updating ITSTATE is needed.
We do this after calling the handler because some handlers will need to
test if they are running in an IT block.

Later, we will be adding a considerable amount of internal
implementation definitions to kprobe header files and it would be good
to have these in local header file along side the source code, rather
than pollute the existing header which is include by all users of
kprobes.
To this end, we add arch/arm/kernel/kprobes.h and move into this the
existing internal defintions from arch/arm/include/asm/kprobes.h

When a kprobe is placed onto conditionally executed ARM instructions,
many of the emulation routines used to single step them produce corrupt
register results. Rather than fix all of these cases we modify the
framework which calls them to test the relevant condition flags and, if
the test fails, skip calling the emulation code.

As mentioned in commit 796969104cab0d454dbc792ad0d12a4f365a8564,
and because of commit b03a5b7559563dafdbe52f8b5d8e453a914db941,
the direct calling of kprobe_trap_handler() can be removed.

Move platform independent header files to arch/arm/include/asm, leaving
those in asm/arch* and asm/plat* alone.
