[PATCH] riscv: kprobe: Optimize kprobe with accurate atomicity

From: guoren
Date: Thu Jan 26 2023 - 11:16:19 EST


From: Guo Ren <guoren@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The previous implementation was based on the stop_matchine mechanism,
which reduced the speed of arm/disarm_kprobe. Using minimum ebreak
instruction would get accurate atomicity.

This patch removes the patch_text of riscv, which is based on
stop_machine. Then riscv only reserved patch_text_nosync, and developers
need to be more careful in dealing with patch_text atomicity.

When CONFIG_RISCV_ISA_C=n, the ebreak could replace the whole
instruction. When CONFIG_RISCV_ISA_C=y, the patch uses 16-bit length
c.ebreak instruction, which may occupy the first part of the 32-bit
instruction and leave half the rest of the broken instruction. Because
ebreak could detour the flow to skip it, leaving it in the kernel text
memory is okay.
