[taras.kondratiuk@linaro.org: fixed Thumb instruction fetch order]
Signed-off-by: Taras Kondratiuk <taras.kondratiuk@linaro.org>
Because the common underlying code for ARM kprobes and uprobes needs
to share a common architecrure-specific context structure, and because
the generic kprobes include file insists on defining this to a dummy
structure when kprobes is not configured, a new common structure is
required which can exist when uprobes is configured without kprobes.
In this case kprobes will define a dummy structure, but without the
define aliasing the two structure tags it will not affect uprobes and
the shared probes code.

Make the instruction interpreter call back to semantic action functions
through a function pointer array provided by the invoker. The interpreter

into the supplied array. kprobes and uprobes code will each supply their

These are very rare and/or problematic to emulate so we will take the
easy option and disallow probing them (as does the existing ARM
implementation).
Rejecting these instructions doesn't actually require any entries in the

We previously changed the behaviour of probes so that conditional
instructions don't fire when the condition isn't met. For ARM branches,
and Thumb branches in IT blocks, this means they don't fire if the
branch isn't taken.
For consistency, we implement the same for Thumb conditional branch
instructions. This involves setting up insn_check_cc to point to the
relevant condition checking function. As the emulation routine is only
called when this condition passes, it doesn't need to check again and
can unconditionally update PC.

These instructions are equivalent to
stmdb sp!,{r0-r7,lr}
ldmdb sp!,{r0-r7,pc}
and we emulate them by transforming them into the 32-bit Thumb
instructions
stmdb r9!,{r0-r7,r8}
ldmdb r9!,{r0-r7,r8}
This is simpler, and almost certainly executes faster, than writing
simulation functions.

These data-processing instructions operate on the full range of CPU
registers, so to simulate them we have to modify the registers used
by the instruction. We can't make use of the decoding table framework to
do this because the registers aren't encoded cleanly in separate
nibbles, therefore we need a custom decode function.

These instructions only operate on the low registers R0-R7, therefore
it is possible to emulate them by executing the original instruction
unaltered if we restore and save these registers. This is what
t16_emulate_loregs does.
Some of these instructions don't update the PSR when they execute in an
IT block, so there are two flavours of emulation functions:
t16_emulate_loregs_{noit}rwflags

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.
