Marcin Nowakowski 297e765e39 uprobes: Fix uprobes on MIPS, allow for a cache flush after ixol breakpoint creation
Commit:

  72e6ae285a1d ('ARM: 8043/1: uprobes need icache flush after xol write'

... has introduced an arch-specific method to ensure all caches are
flushed appropriately after an instruction is written to an XOL page.

However, when the XOL area is created and the out-of-line breakpoint
instruction is copied, caches are not flushed at all and stale data may
be found in icache.

Replace a simple copy_to_page() with arch_uprobe_copy_ixol() to allow
the arch to ensure all caches are updated accordingly.

This change fixes uprobes on MIPS InterAptiv (tested on Creator Ci40).

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
