The kernel watchdog is a great debugging tool for finding tasks that
consume a disproportionate amount of CPU time in contiguous chunks. One
can imagine building a similar watchdog for arbitrary driver threads
using save_stack_trace_tsk() and print_stack_trace(). However, this is
not viable for dynamically loaded driver modules on ARM platforms
because save_stack_trace_tsk() is not exported for those architectures.
Export save_stack_trace_tsk() for the ARM architecture to align with
x86 and support various debugging use cases such as arbitrary driver
thread watchdog timers.

<linux/sched/debug.h>
We are going to split <linux/sched/debug.h> out of <linux/sched.h>, which
will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files.
Create a trivial placeholder <linux/sched/debug.h> file that just
maps to <linux/sched.h> to make this patch obviously correct and
bisectable.
Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

Use the global current_stack_pointer to get the value of the stack pointer.
This change supports being able to compile the kernel with both gcc and clang.

When configure kprobe events of ftrace with "stacktrace" option enabled
in arm, there is no stacktrace was recorded after the kprobe event was
triggered. The root cause is no save_stack_trace_regs() function implemented.
Implement the save_stack_trace_regs() function in arm, then ftrace will
call this architecture-related function to record the stacktrace into
ring buffer.
After this fix, stacktrace can be recorded, for example:
# mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug
# echo "p:netrx net_rx_action" >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kprobes/netrx/enable
# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/options/stacktrace
# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_on
# ping 127.0.0.1 -c 1
# echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_on
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace

When we unwind through an exception stack, include the saved PC value

While debugging the FEC ethernet driver using stacktrace, it was noticed
that the stacktraces always begin as follows:
[<c00117b4>] save_stack_trace_tsk+0x0/0x98
[<c0011870>] save_stack_trace+0x24/0x28
...
This is because the stack trace code includes the stack frames for itself.
This is incorrect behaviour, and also leads to "skip" doing the wrong
thing (which is the number of stack frames to avoid recording.)
Perversely, it does the right thing when passed a non-current thread. Fix
this by ensuring that we have a known constant number of frames above the
main stack trace function, and always skip these.

Many of the core ARM kernel files are not modules, but just
including module.h for exporting symbols. Now these files can
use the lighter footprint export.h for this role.
There are probably lots more, but ARM files of mach-* and plat-*
don't get coverage via a simple yesconfig build. They will have
to be cleaned up and tested via using their respective configs.

Rabin Vincent reports:
| On SMP, this BUG() in save_stack_trace_tsk() can be easily triggered
| from user space by reading /proc/$PID/stack, where $PID is any pid but
| the current process:
|
| if (tsk != current) {
| #ifdef CONFIG_SMP
| /*
| * What guarantees do we have here that 'tsk'
| * is not running on another CPU?
| */
| BUG();
| #else
Fix this by replacing the BUG() with an entry to terminate the stack
trace, returning an empty trace - I'd rather not expose the dwarf
unwinder to a volatile stack of a running thread.

When unwinding stack frames we must take care not to unwind
areas of memory that lie outside of the known extent of the stack.
This patch fixes an incorrect calculation of the stack base where
THREAD_SIZE is added to the stack pointer after it has already
been aligned to this value. Since the ALIGN macro performs this
addition internally, we end up overshooting the base by 8k.

From: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de>
As __builtin_return_address(n) doesn't work for ARM with n > 0, the
kernel needs its own implementation.
This fixes many warnings saying:
warning: unsupported argument to '__builtin_return_address'
The new methods and walk_stackframe must not be instrumented because
CALLER_ADDRESSx is used in the various tracers and tracing the tracer is
a bad idea.
What's currently missing is an implementation using unwind tables. This
is not fatal though, it's just that the tracers don't get enough
information to be really useful.
Note that if both ARM_UNWIND and FRAME_POINTER are enabled,
walk_stackframe uses unwind information. So in this case the same
implementation is used as when FRAME_POINTER is disabled.

Fix an oops in the stacktrace code, caused by improper range checking.
We subtract 12 off 'fp' before testing to see if it's below the low
bound. However, if 'fp' were zero before, it becomes a very large
positive number, causing this test to succeed where it should fail.

oprofile instead of it's version; there's no point having
