This is an adaptation of commit f3a112c0c40d ("x86,rethook,kprobes:
Replace kretprobe with rethook on x86") to powerpc.
Rethook follows the existing kretprobe implementation, but separates
it from kprobes so that it can be used by fprobe (ftrace-based
function entry/exit probes). As such, this patch also enables fprobe
to work on powerpc. The only other change compared to the existing
kretprobe implementation is doing the return address fixup in
arch_rethook_fixup_return().
Reference to other archs:
commit b57c2f124098 ("riscv: add riscv rethook implementation")
commit 7b0a096436c2 ("LoongArch: Replace kretprobe with rethook")
Note:
=====
In future, rethook will be only for kretprobe, and kretprobe
will be replaced by fprobe.
https://lore.kernel.org/all/172000134410.63468.13742222887213469474.stgit@devnote2/
We will adapt the above implementation for powerpc once its upstream.
Until then, we can have this implementation of rethook to serve
current kretprobe usecases.

The changes to copy_thread() made in commit eed7c420aac7 ("powerpc:
copy_thread differentiate kthreads and user mode threads") inadvertently
broke arch_stack_walk_reliable() because it has knowledge of the stack
layout.
Fix it by changing the condition to match the new logic in
copy_thread(). The changes make the comments about the stack layout
incorrect, rather than rephrasing them just refer the reader to
copy_thread().
Also the comment about the stack backchain is no longer true, since
commit edbd0387f324 ("powerpc: copy_thread add a back chain to the
switch stack frame"), so remove that as well.

The APIs that allow backtracing across CPUs have always had a way to exclude the current CPU. This convenience means callers didn't need to find a place to allocate a CPU mask just to handle the common case. Let's extend the API to take a CPU ID to exclude instead of just a boolean. This isn't any more complex for the API to handle and allows the hardlockup detector to exclude a different CPU (the one it already did a trace for) without needing to find space for a CPU mask. Arguably, this new API also encourages safer behavior. Specifically if the caller wants to avoid tracing the current CPU (maybe because they already traced the current CPU) this makes it more obvious to the caller that they need to make sure that the current CPU ID can't change.

commit 7c6986ade69e ("powerpc/stacktrace: Fix spurious "stale" traces in raise_backtrace_ipi()")
introduces udelay() call without including the linux/delay.h header.
This may happen to work on master but the header that declares the
functionshould be included nonetheless.

In raise_backtrace_ipi() we iterate through the cpumask of CPUs, sending
each an IPI asking them to do a backtrace, but we don't wait for the
backtrace to happen.
We then iterate through the CPU mask again, and if any CPU hasn't done
the backtrace and cleared itself from the mask, we print a trace on its
behalf, noting that the trace may be "stale".
This works well enough when a CPU is not responding, because in that
case it doesn't receive the IPI and the sending CPU is left to print the
trace. But when all CPUs are responding we are left with a race between
the sending and receiving CPUs, if the sending CPU wins the race then it
will erroneously print a trace.
This leads to spurious "stale" traces from the sending CPU, which can
then be interleaved messily with the receiving CPU, note the CPU
numbers, eg:
[ 1658.929157][ C7] rcu: Stack dump where RCU GP kthread last ran:
[ 1658.929223][ C7] Sending NMI from CPU 7 to CPUs 1:
[ 1658.929303][ C1] NMI backtrace for cpu 1
[ 1658.929303][ C7] CPU 1 didn't respond to backtrace IPI, inspecting paca.
[ 1658.929362][ C1] CPU: 1 PID: 325 Comm: kworker/1:1H Tainted: G W E 5.13.0-rc2+ #46
[ 1658.929405][ C7] irq_soft_mask: 0x01 in_mce: 0 in_nmi: 0 current: 325 (kworker/1:1H)
[ 1658.929465][ C1] Workqueue: events_highpri test_work_fn [test_lockup]
[ 1658.929549][ C7] Back trace of paca->saved_r1 (0xc0000000057fb400) (possibly stale):
[ 1658.929592][ C1] NIP: c00000000002cf50 LR: c008000000820178 CTR: c00000000002cfa0
To fix it, change the logic so that the sending CPU waits 5s for the
receiving CPU to print its trace. If the receiving CPU prints its trace
successfully then the sending CPU just continues, avoiding any spurious
"stale" trace.
This has the added benefit of allowing all CPUs to print their traces in
order and avoids any interleaving of their output.
