Subject[RFC][PATCH 2/3] x86_64: Allow breakpoints to emulate call functions
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>

In order to allow breakpoints to emulate call functions, they need to push
the return address onto the stack. But because the breakpoint exception
frame is added to the stack when the breakpoint is hit, there's no room to
add the address onto the stack and return to the address of the emulated
called funtion.

To handle this, copy the exception frame on entry of the breakpoint handler
and have leave a gap that can be used to add a return address to the stack
frame and return from the breakpoint to the emulated called function,
allowing for that called function to return back to the location after the
breakpoint was placed.

The helper functions were also added:

int3_emulate_push(): to push the address onto the gap in the stack
int3_emulate_jmp(): changes the location of the regs->ip to return there.
int3_emulate_call(): push the return address and change regs->ip
