RISC-V software breakpoint trap handlers are used for {k,u}probes.
When trapping from kernelmode, only the kernelmode handlers should be
considered. Vice versa, only usermode handlers for usermode
traps. This is not the case on RISC-V, which can trigger a bug if a
userspace process uses uprobes, and a WARN() is triggered from
kernelmode (which is implemented via {c.,}ebreak).
The kernel will trap on the kernelmode {c.,}ebreak, look for uprobes
handlers, realize incorrectly that uprobes need to be handled, and
exit the trap handler early. The trap returns to re-executing the
{c.,}ebreak, and enter an infinite trap-loop.
The issue was found running the BPF selftest [1].
Fix this issue by only considering the swbp/ss handlers for
kernel/usermode respectively. Also, move CONFIG ifdeffery from traps.c
to the asm/{k,u}probes.h headers.
Note that linux/uprobes.h only include asm/uprobes.h if CONFIG_UPROBES
is defined, which is why asm/uprobes.h needs to be unconditionally
included in traps.c

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
