ARM: 6005/1: arm: kprobes: fix register corruption with jprobes
Current implementation of jprobes allocates empty pt_regs from the
stack which is then passed to kprobe_handler() and eventually to
singlestep(). Now when instruction being simulated is STMFD (like
in normal function prologues without CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER), stores
using SP actually write over top of the fabricated pt_regs
structure.
This can be reproduced for example by using LKDTM module:
# modprobe lkdtm
# mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug
# echo PANIC > /sys/kernel/debug/provoke-crash/INT_HW_IRQ_EN
after this, it fails with corrupted registers (before the requested crash would occur):
lkdtm: Crash point INT_HW_IRQ_EN of type PANIC hit, trigger in 9 rounds
lkdtm: Crash point INT_HW_IRQ_EN of type PANIC hit, trigger in 8 rounds
Internal error: Oops - undefined instruction: 0 [#1]

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt
This patch allocates enough space (2 * sizeof(struct pt_regs)) from
the stack to prevent such corruption.
