Currently, when ptrace needs to modify a breakpoint, like disabling
it, changing its address, type or len, it calls
modify_user_hw_breakpoint(). This latter will perform the heavy and
racy task of unregistering the old breakpoint and registering a new
one.
This is racy as someone else might steal the reserved breakpoint
slot under us, which is undesired as the breakpoint is only
supposed to be modified, sometimes in the middle of a debugging
workflow. We don't want our slot to be stolen in the middle.
So instead of unregistering/registering the breakpoint, just
disable it while we modify its breakpoint fields and re-enable it
after if necessary.

mce_timer must be passed to setup_timer() in all cases, no
matter whether it is going to be actually used. Otherwise, when
the CPU gets brought down, its call to del_timer_sync() will
never return, as the timer won't have a base associated, and
hence lock_timer_base() will loop infinitely.

apic_noop is used to provide dummy apic functions. It's installed
when the CPU has no APIC or when the APIC is disabled on the kernel
command line.
The apic_noop implementation of apic_write() warns when the CPU has
an APIC or when the APIC is not disabled.
That's bogus. The warning should only happen when the CPU has an
APIC _AND_ the APIC is not disabled. apic_noop.apic_read() has the
correct check.

When we enter in irq, two things can happen to preserve the link
to the previous frame pointer:
- If we were in an irq already, we don't switch to the irq stack
as we are inside. We just need to save the previous frame
pointer and to link the new one to the previous.
- Otherwise we need another level of indirection. We enter the irq with
the previous stack. We save the previous bp inside and make bp
pointing to its saved address. Then we switch to the irq stack and
push bp another time but to the new stack. This makes two levels to
dereference instead of one.
In the second case, the current stacktrace code omits the second level
and loses the frame pointer accuracy. The stack that follows will then
be considered as unreliable.
Handling that makes the perf callchain happier.

While dumping a stacktrace, the end of the exception stack won't link
the frame pointer to the previous stack.
The interrupted stack will then be considered as unreliable and ignored
by perf, as the frame pointer is unreliable itself.
This happens because we overwrite the frame pointer that links to the
interrupted frame with the address of the exception stack. This is
done in order to reserve space inside.
But rbp has been chosen here only because it is not a scratch register,
so that the address of the exception stack remains in rbp after calling
do_debug(), we can then release the exception stack space without the
need to retrieve its address again.
But we can pick another non-scratch register to do that, so that we
preserve the link to the interrupted stack frame in the stacktraces.
Just randomly choose r12. Every registers are saved just before and
restored just after calling do_debug(). And r12 is not used in the
middle, which makes it a perfect candidate.
Example: perf record -g -a -c 1 -f -e mem:$(tasklist_lock_addr):rw

We are infected with all the debug stack. Like the nmi stack, the debug
stack is undesired as it is part of the profiling path, not helpful for
the user.
Ignore it.

struct perf_event::event callback was called when a breakpoint
triggers. But this is a rather opaque callback, pretty
tied-only to the breakpoint API and not really integrated into perf
as it triggers even when we don't overflow.
We prefer to use overflow_handler() as it fits into the perf events
rules, being called only when we overflow.

Drop the callback and task parameters from modify_user_hw_breakpoint().
For now we have no user that need to modify a breakpoint to the point
of changing its handler or its task context.
