[PATCH] riscv: Only consider swbp/ss handlers for correct privileged mode

From: Björn Töpel <bjorn at rivosinc.com>

RISC-V software breakpoint trap handlers are used for {k,u}probes.

When trapping from kernelmode, only the kernelmode handlers should be
considered. Vice versa, only usermode handlers for usermode
traps. This is not the case on RISC-V, which can trigger a bug if a
userspace process uses uprobes, and a WARN() is triggered from
kernelmode (which is implemented via {c.,}ebreak).

The kernel will trap on the kernelmode {c.,}ebreak, look for uprobes
handlers, realize incorrectly that uprobes need to be handled, and
exit the trap handler early. The trap returns to re-executing the
{c.,}ebreak, and enter an infinite trap-loop.

The issue was found running the BPF selftest [1].

Fix this issue by only considering the swbp/ss handlers for
kernel/usermode respectively. Also, move CONFIG ifdeffery from traps.c
to the asm/{k,u}probes.h headers.

Note that linux/uprobes.h only include asm/uprobes.h if CONFIG_UPROBES
is defined, which is why asm/uprobes.h needs to be unconditionally
included in traps.c
