[V2] riscv/kprobes: allocate detour buffer from module area

Commit Message

Liao, Chang Sept. 13, 2022, 2:23 a.m. UTC

To address the limitation of PC-relative branch instruction
on riscv architecture, detour buffer slot used for optprobes is
allocated from a region, the distance of which from kernel should be
less than 4GB.

For the time being, Modules region always live before the kernel.
But Vmalloc region reside far from kernel, the distance is half of the
kernel address space (See Documentation/riscv/vm-layout.rst), hence it
needs to override the alloc_optinsn_page() to make sure allocate detour
buffer from jump-safe region.

v2:
1. Avoid to depend on CONFIG_MODUELS.
2. Override alloc_optinsn_page to allocate slot from jump-safe region.
