[RFC PATCH 1/1] arm64: implement live patching

It's my understanding that the two pieces of work required to enable live
patching on arm are in flight upstream;
- Reliable stack traces as implemented by Madhavan T. Venkataraman [1]
- Objtool as implemented by Julien Thierry [2]
This is the remaining part required to enable live patching on arm.
Based on work by Torsten Duwe [3]
Allocate a task flag used to represent the patch pending state for the
task. Also implement generic functions klp_arch_set_pc() &
klp_get_ftrace_location().
In klp_arch_set_pc() it is sufficient to set regs->pc as in
ftrace_common_return() the return address is loaded from the stack.
ldr x9, [sp, #S_PC]
<snip>
ret x9
In klp_get_ftrace_location() it is necessary to advance the address by
AARCH64_INSN_SIZE (4) to point to the BL in the callsite as 2 nops were
placed at the start of the function, one to be patched to save the LR and
another to be patched to branch to the ftrace call, and
klp_get_ftrace_location() is expected to return the address of the BL. It
may also be necessary to advance the address by another AARCH64_INSN_SIZE
if CONFIG_ARM64_BTI_KERNEL is enabled due to the instruction placed at the
branch target to satisfy BTI,
