This series fixes two arm64 kprobes issues observed when running
simpleperf with preemptirq tracepoints and dwarf callchains while a
kprobe is active on a frequently executed kernel function.

The crash happens in the kprobe debug exception path. While a kprobe is
preparing or executing its XOL single-step instruction, perf/trace code
can run in the same window. That code may either take a fault of its own
or hit another kprobe.

Patch 1 makes kprobe_fault_handler() handle a fault in
KPROBE_HIT_SS/KPROBE_REENTER only when the faulting PC points at the
current kprobe's XOL instruction. Otherwise the fault is left to the
normal fault handling path.

Patch 2 allows a kprobe hit in KPROBE_HIT_SS to be handled as a
recoverable one-level reentry. Only a hit while already in
KPROBE_REENTER remains unrecoverable.

Patch 3 adds a kprobes selftest which registers a kprobe on a frequently
executed filemap fault path and drives repeated file-backed page faults
from userspace. This provides a smaller reproducer for validating the
fault handling fix.

This follows the same logic as the existing x86 fixes:
  6381c24cd6d5 ("kprobes/x86: Fix page-fault handling logic")
  6a5022a56ac3 ("kprobes/x86: Allow to handle reentered kprobe on single-stepping")

Reproducer:

  simpleperf record -p <pid> -f 10000 \
    -e preemptirq:preempt_disable \
    -e preemptirq:preempt_enable \
    --duration 9 --call-graph dwarf \
    -o /data/local/tmp/perf.data

The new selftest can be built from tools/testing/selftests/kprobe/ and
used to exercise the page fault handling path with the test kprobe
module loaded.

Before this series, the crash reproduced frequently. With both patches
applied, it was no longer reproduced in our testing.


Pu Hu (3):
  arm64: kprobes: Do not handle non-XOL faults as kprobe faults
  arm64: kprobes: Allow reentering kprobes while single-stepping
  selftests/kprobes: Add kprobe stress test for page fault handling
