kprobes: Introduce kprobes jump optimization
Introduce kprobes jump optimization arch-independent parts. Kprobes uses breakpoint instruction for interrupting execution flow, on some architectures, it can be replaced by a jump instruction and interruption emulation code. This gains kprobs' performance drastically. To enable this feature, set CONFIG_OPTPROBES=y (default y if the arch supports OPTPROBE). Changes in v9: - Fix a bug to optimize probe when enabling. - Check nearby probes can be optimize/unoptimize when disarming/arming kprobes, instead of registering/unregistering. This will help kprobe-tracer because most of probes on it are usually disabled. Changes in v6: - Cleanup coding style for readability. - Add comments around get/put_online_cpus(). Changes in v5: - Use get_online_cpus()/put_online_cpus() for avoiding text_mutex deadlock.
