The asm/opcodes.h file is now gone, but probes.h still references it
for not obvious reason. Removing the #include directive fixes
the compilation.

decode-insn code has to be reused by arm64 uprobe implementation as well.
Therefore, this patch protects some portion of kprobe code and renames few
other, so that decode-insn functionality can be reused by uprobe even when
CONFIG_KPROBES is not defined.
kprobe_opcode_t and struct arch_specific_insn are also defined by
linux/kprobes.h, when CONFIG_KPROBES is not defined. So, protect these
definitions in asm/probes.h.
linux/kprobes.h already includes asm/kprobes.h. Therefore, remove inclusion
of asm/kprobes.h from decode-insn.c.
There are some definitions like kprobe_insn and kprobes_handler_t etc can
be re-used by uprobe. So, it would be better to remove 'k' from their
names.
struct arch_specific_insn is specific to kprobe. Therefore, introduce a new
struct arch_probe_insn which will be common for both kprobe and uprobe, so
that decode-insn code can be shared. Modify kprobe code accordingly.
Function arm_probe_decode_insn() will be needed by uprobe as well. So make
it global.

Kprobes needs simulation of instructions that cannot be stepped
from a different memory location, e.g.: those instructions
that uses PC-relative addressing. In simulation, the behaviour
of the instruction is implemented using a copy of pt_regs.
The following instruction categories are simulated:
- All branching instructions(conditional, register, and immediate)
- Literal access instructions(load-literal, adr/adrp)
Conditional execution is limited to branching instructions in
ARM v8. If conditions at PSTATE do not match the condition fields
of opcode, the instruction is effectively NOP.
Thanks to Will Cohen for assorted suggested changes.

Add support for basic kernel probes(kprobes) and jump probes
(jprobes) for ARM64.
Kprobes utilizes software breakpoint and single step debug
exceptions supported on ARM v8.
A software breakpoint is placed at the probe address to trap the
kernel execution into the kprobe handler.
ARM v8 supports enabling single stepping before the break exception
return (ERET), with next PC in exception return address (ELR_EL1). The
kprobe handler prepares an executable memory slot for out-of-line
execution with a copy of the original instruction being probed, and
enables single stepping. The PC is set to the out-of-line slot address
before the ERET. With this scheme, the instruction is executed with the
exact same register context except for the PC (and DAIF) registers.
Debug mask (PSTATE.D) is enabled only when single stepping a recursive
kprobe, e.g.: during kprobes reenter so that probed instruction can be
single stepped within the kprobe handler -exception- context.
The recursion depth of kprobe is always 2, i.e. upon probe re-entry,
any further re-entry is prevented by not calling handlers and the case
counted as a missed kprobe).
Single stepping from the x-o-l slot has a drawback for PC-relative accesses
like branching and symbolic literals access as the offset from the new PC
(slot address) may not be ensured to fit in the immediate value of
the opcode. Such instructions need simulation, so reject
probing them.
Instructions generating exceptions or cpu mode change are rejected
for probing.
Exclusive load/store instructions are rejected too. Additionally, the
code is checked to see if it is inside an exclusive load/store sequence
(code from Pratyush).
System instructions are mostly enabled for stepping, except MSR/MRS
accesses to "DAIF" flags in PSTATE, which are not safe for
probing.
This also changes arch/arm64/include/asm/ptrace.h to use
include/asm-generic/ptrace.h.
Thanks to Steve Capper and Pratyush Anand for several suggested
Changes.
