The breakpoint generic layer assumes that archs always know in advance
the static number of address registers available to host breakpoints
through the HBP_NUM macro.
However this is not true for every archs. For example Arm needs to get
this information dynamically to handle the compatiblity between
different versions.
To solve this, this patch proposes to drop the static HBP_NUM macro
and let the arch provide the number of available slots through a
new hw_breakpoint_slots() function. For archs that have
CONFIG_HAVE_MIXED_BREAKPOINTS_REGS selected, it will be called once
as the number of registers fits for instruction and data breakpoints
together.
For the others it will be called first to get the number of
instruction breakpoint registers and another time to get the
data breakpoint registers, the targeted type is given as a
parameter of hw_breakpoint_slots().

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).

double function declaration]

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.

Presently headers_check complains about linux/kdebug.h being unexported,
so just bump the __KERNEL__ ifdef up, as per the x86 change.

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 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.
