If an interrupt fires while writing the cmp entry we may have a partial
entry. Work around this by using atomic_cmpset to set the new index. If it
fails we need to set the previous index value and try again as the entry
may be in an inconsistent state.
This fixes messages similar to the following from syzkaller:

Without this the physical memory will not be returned to the kernel.
While here call vm_object_reference on the object when mmapping the buffer.
This removed the need for buggy tracking of if it has been mapped or not.
This fixes issues where kcov could use all the system memory.

This removes the need to allocate a buffer to hold the vm_page_t objects
at the cost of extra IPIs on some architectures.

This will allow multiple consumers of the coverage data to be compiled
into the kernel together. The only requirement is only one can be
registered at a given point in time, however it is expected they will
only register when the coverage data is needed.
A new kernel conflig option COVERAGE is added. This will allow kcov to
become a module that can be loaded as needed, or compiled into the
kernel.
While here clean up the #include style a little.

When building with KCOV enabled the compiler will insert function calls
to probes allowing us to trace the execution of the kernel from userspace.
These probes are on function entry (trace-pc) and on comparison operations
(trace-cmp).
Userspace can enable the use of these probes on a single kernel thread with
an ioctl interface. It can allocate space for the probe with KIOSETBUFSIZE,
then mmap the allocated buffer and enable tracing with KIOENABLE, with the
trace mode being passed in as the int argument. When complete KIODISABLE
is used to disable tracing.
The first item in the buffer is the number of trace event that have
happened. Userspace can write 0 to this to reset the tracing, and is
expected to do so on first use.
The format of the buffer depends on the trace mode. When in PC tracing just
the return address of the probe is stored. Under comparison tracing the
comparison type, the two arguments, and the return address are traced. The
former method uses on entry per trace event, while the later uses 4. As
such they are incompatible so only a single mode may be enabled.
KCOV is expected to help fuzzing the kernel, and while in development has
already found a number of issues. It is required for the syzkaller system
call fuzzer [1]. Other kernel fuzzers could also make use of it, either
with the current interface, or by extending it with new modes.
A man page is currently being worked on and is expected to be committed
soon, however having the code in the kernel now is useful for other
developers to use.
