[PATCH] arm64: kprobes: Use BRK instead of single-step when executing instructions out-of-line

Commit 36dadef23fcc ("kprobes: Init kprobes in early_initcall") enabled
using kprobes from early_initcall. Unfortunately at this point the
hardware debug infrastructure is not operational. The OS lock may still
be locked, and the hardware watchpoints may have unknown values when
kprobe enables debug monitors to single-step instructions.
Rather than using hardware single-step, append a BRK instruction after
the instruction to be executed out-of-line.
Fixes: 36dadef23fcc ("kprobes: Init kprobes in early_initcall")

An alternative to fix [1]. I haven't done uprobes yet since they don't
suffer the same problem, but could add it to the bottom of my list.
Lightly tested with kprobe smoke test and the BPF selftests.
Interestingly on Seattle when running the "overhead" BPF selftest, that
triggers a kprobe a bunch of times, I see a 20-30% improvement with this
patch. I'm guessing it's the cost of touching the debug sysregs?
