jprobe for x86-64 may cause kernel page fault when the jprobe_return()
is called from incorrect function.- Use jprobe_saved_regs instead getting it from stack.
(Especially on x86-64, it may get incorrect data, because
pt_regs can not be get by using container_of(rsp))
- Change the type of stack pointer to unsigned long *.Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu

Introduce architecture dependent kretprobe blacklists to prohibit users
from inserting return probes on the function in which kprobes can be
inserted but kretprobes can not.This patch also removes "__kprobes" mark from "__switch_to" on x86_64 and
registers "__switch_to" to the blacklist on x86-64, because that mark is to
prohibit user from inserting only kretprobe.Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu

x86(-64) are the last architectures still using the page fault notifier
cruft for the kprobes page fault hook. This patch converts them to the
proper direct calls, and removes the now unused pagefault notifier bits
aswell as the cruft in kprobes.c that was related to this mess.I know Andi didn't really like this, but all other architecture maintainers
agreed the direct calls are much better and besides the obvious cruft
removal a common way of dealing with kprobes across architectures is
important aswell.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fix]
