The SWP instruction was deprecated in the ARMv6 architecture. The
ARMv7 multiprocessing extensions mandate that SWP/SWPB instructions
are treated as undefined from reset, with the ability to enable them
through the System Control Register SW bit. With ARMv8, the option to
enable these instructions through System Control Register was dropped
as well.
To support legacy applications using these instructions, port the
emulation of the SWP and SWPB instructions from the arm port to arm64.

Add support to register hooks for undefined instructions. The handlers
will be called when the undefined instruction and the processor state
(as contained in pstate) match criteria used at registration.

When experimenting with patches to provide kprobes support for aarch64
smp machines would hang when inserting breakpoints into kernel code.
The hangs were caused by a race condition in the code called by
aarch64_insn_patch_text_sync(). The first processor in the
aarch64_insn_patch_text_cb() function would patch the code while other
processors were still entering the function and incrementing the
cpu_count field. This resulted in some processors never observing the
exit condition and exiting the function. Thus, processors in the
system hung.
The first processor to enter the patching function performs the
patching and signals that the patching is complete with an increment
of the cpu_count field. When all the processors have incremented the
cpu_count field the cpu_count will be num_cpus_online()+1 and they
will return to normal execution.

Following a recent series of enhancements to the insn code the ARMv8
allnoconfig build has been generating a large number of warnings in the
form of:
arch/arm64/kernel/insn.c:689:8: warning: 'insn' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
This is because BUG() and related macros can be compiled out so we get
execution paths which normally result in a panic compiling out to noops
instead.
I wasn't able to immediately identify a sensible return value to use in
these cases so just return AARCH64_BREAK_FAULT - this is all "should
never happen" code so hopefully it never has a practical impact.

Introduce three interfaces to patch kernel and module code:
aarch64_insn_patch_text_nosync():
patch code without synchronization, it's caller's responsibility
to synchronize all CPUs if needed.
aarch64_insn_patch_text_sync():
patch code and always synchronize with stop_machine()

patch code and synchronize with stop_machine() if needed
