Yury Norov 5ce93ab624 arm64: introduce separated bits for mm_context_t flags
Currently mm->context.flags field uses thread_info flags which is not
the best idea for many reasons. For example, mm_context_t doesn't need
most of thread_info flags. And it would be difficult to add new mm-related
flag if needed because it may easily interfere with TIF ones.

To deal with it, the new MMCF_AARCH32 flag is introduced for
mm_context_t->flags, where MMCF prefix stands for mm_context_t flags.
Also, mm_context_t flag doesn't require atomicity and ordering of the
access, so using set/clear_bit() is replaced with simple masks.

Pratyush Anand 9842ceae9f arm64: Add uprobe support
This patch adds support for uprobe on ARM64 architecture.

Unit tests for following have been done so far and they have been found
working
    1. Step-able instructions, like sub, ldr, add etc.
    2. Simulation-able like ret, cbnz, cbz etc.
    3. uretprobe
    4. Reject-able instructions like sev, wfe etc.
    5. trapped and abort xol path
    6. probe at unaligned user address.
    7. longjump test cases

Currently it does not support aarch32 instruction probing.
