Adding new uprobe syscall that calls uprobe handlers for given 'breakpoint' address. The idea is that the 'breakpoint' address calls the user space trampoline which executes the uprobe syscall. The syscall handler reads the return address of the initial call to retrieve the original 'breakpoint' address. With this address we find the related uprobe object and call its consumers. Adding the arch_uprobe_trampoline_mapping function that provides uprobe trampoline mapping. This mapping is backed with one global page initialized at __init time and shared by the all the mapping instances. We do not allow to execute uprobe syscall if the caller is not from uprobe trampoline mapping. The uprobe syscall ensures the consumer (bpf program) sees registers values in the state before the trampoline was called.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
