x86_64: Allow breakpoints to emulate call instructions
commit 4b33dadf upstream. In order to allow breakpoints to emulate call instructions, they need to push the return address onto the stack. The x86_64 int3 handler adds a small gap to allow the stack to grow some. Use this gap to add the return address to be able to emulate a call instruction at the breakpoint location. These helper functions are added: int3_emulate_jmp(): changes the location of the regs->ip to return there. (The next two are only for x86_64) int3_emulate_push(): to push the address onto the gap in the stack int3_emulate_call(): push the return address and change regs->ip Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> Cc: Nicolai Stange <nstange@suse.de> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: "H.
