first instruction to see if it's either a pushm with lr, or a sub with sp.
The former is the common case, with the latter used with va_args.
This removes 12 probes. These are all hand-written assembly, with a few C
functions with no stack usage.

emulate the instructions used in function entry and exit.
For function entry ARM will use a push instruction to push up to 16
registers to the stack. While we don't expect all 16 to be used we need to
handle any combination the compiler may generate, even if it doesn't make
sense (e.g. pushing the program counter).
On function return we will either have a pop or branch instruction. The
former is similar to the push instruction, but with care to make sure we
update the stack pointer and program counter correctly in the cases they
are either in the list of registers or not. For branch we need to take the
24-bit offset, sign-extend it, and add that number of 4-byte words to the
program counter. Care needs to be taken as, due to historical reasons, the
address the branch is relative to is not the current instruction, but 8
bytes later.
This allows us to use the following probes on ARM boards:
dtrace -n 'fbt::malloc:entry { stack() }'
and
dtrace -n 'fbt:🆓return { stack() }'

In the old days callout(9) had 1 tick precision and that was inadequate
for some uses, e.g. DTrace profile module, so we had to emulate cyclic
API and behavior. Now we can directly use callout(9) in the very few
places where cyclic was used.

* Use a constant to define the number of stack frames in a probe exception.
* Only allow function symbols in powerpc64 ('.' prefixed)
* Set the fbtp_roffset for return probes, so the correct dtrace_probe call is
made.

Summary:
Fix the stack tracing for dtrace/powerpc by using the trapexit/asttrapexit
return address sentinels instead of checking within the kernel address space.
As part of this, I had to add new inline functions. FBT traces the kernel, so
we have to have special case handling for this, since a trap will create a full
new trap frame, and there's no way to pass around the 'real' stack. I handle
this by special-casing 'aframes == 0' with the trap frame. If aframes counts
out to the trap frame, then assume we're looking for the full kernel trap frame,
so switch to the real stack pointer.

tracepoints would continue to generate traps, which would be ignored but
could consume noticeable amounts of CPU if, say, all functions in the kernel
were instrumented.

probes declared in a kernel module when that module is unloaded. In
particular,
* Unloading a module with active SDT probes will cause a panic. [1]
* A module's (FBT/SDT) probes aren't destroyed when the module is unloaded;
trying to use them after the fact will generally cause a panic.
This change fixes both problems by porting the DTrace module load/unload
handlers from illumos and registering them with the corresponding
EVENTHANDLER(9) handlers. This allows the DTrace framework to destroy all
probes defined in a module when that module is unloaded, and to prevent a
module unload from proceeding if some of its probes are active. The latter
problem has already been fixed for FBT probes by checking lf->nenabled in
kern_kldunload(), but moving the check into the DTrace framework generalizes
it to all kernel providers and also fixes a race in the current
implementation (since a probe may be activated between the check and the
call to linker_file_unload()).
Additionally, the SDT implementation has been reworked to define SDT
providers/probes/argtypes in linker sets rather than using SYSINIT/SYSUNINIT
to create and destroy SDT probes when a module is loaded or unloaded. This
simplifies things quite a bit since it means that pretty much all of the SDT
code can live in sdt.ko, and since it becomes easier to integrate SDT with
the DTrace framework. Furthermore, this allows FreeBSD to be quite flexible
in that SDT providers spanning multiple modules can be created on the fly
when a module is loaded; at the moment it looks like illumos' SDT
implementation requires all SDT probes to be statically defined in a single
kernel table.

would lead to a kernel page fault.

much of which is not necessary for PowerPC.
The FBT module can likely be factored into 3 separate files: common,
intel, and powerpc, rather than duplicating most of the code between
the x86 and PowerPC flavors.
All DTrace modules for PowerPC will be MFC'd together once Fasttrap is
completed.
