x86/kprobes: Fix crash when probing CS CALL instructionsgrafted

When using eBPF to probe CS CALL instructions within a function,
a crash can be triggered.

The eBPF tool probes offset 257 of the __hrtimer_run_queues()
function:

<__hrtimer_run_queues+249>:  nopl   0x0(%rax,%rax,1)
<__hrtimer_run_queues+254>:  mov    %r14,%rdi
<__hrtimer_run_queues+257>:  cs call <__x86_indirect_thunk_r12>
<__hrtimer_run_queues+263>:  mov    %eax,%r12d
<__hrtimer_run_queues+266>:  xchg   %ax,%ax
<__hrtimer_run_queues+268>:  mov    %r13,%rdi

Which triggers this crash:

  BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: 00000000000f41c9
  #PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode
  #PF: error_code(0x0002) - not-present page
  PGD 0 P4D 0
  Oops: 0002 [#1] SMP NOPTI
  CPU: 1 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/1 Kdump: loaded Tainted: P
  RIP: 0010:__hrtimer_run_queues+0x106/0x230

Note that __hrtimer_run_queues+0x106 is __hrtimer_run_queues+262, which is
at the 6th byte of the above CS CALL instruction. Since the CS CALL
instruction occupies 6 bytes, the exception occurred in the middle of that
call instruction.

The root cause is that when using eBPF tools to probe in the middle of a
function, a kprobe with INT3 is used as the underlying implementation.

During single-step emulation of the original CALL instruction,
int3_emulate_call() assumes that the probed CALL instruction is 5 bytes
long. However, the actual CS-prefixed CALL instruction occupies 6 bytes,
so it constructs an incorrect exception return address. When the CPU
returns from the kprobe handler, the next instruction to be executed is at
the address of the last byte of that CS CALL instruction. Coincidentally,
starting from that address, the CPU fetches and decodes a completely
different instruction, which ultimately triggers a kernel crash.

Fix the issue by using the actual instruction length obtained from
the instruction decoder when constructing the exception return
address, rather than relying on the hardcoded CALL_INSN_SIZE macro.

+======================================================
+Infrared remote control support in video4linux drivers
+======================================================
+
+Authors: Gerd Hoffmann, Mauro Carvalho Chehab
+
+Basics
+======
+
+Most analog and digital TV boards support remote controllers. Several of
+them have a microprocessor that receives the IR carriers, convert into
+pulse/space sequences and then to scan codes, returning such codes to
+userspace ("scancode mode"). Other boards return just the pulse/space
+sequences ("raw mode").
+
+The support for remote controller in scancode mode is provided by the
+standard Linux input layer. The support for raw mode is provided via LIRC.
+
+In order to check the support and test it, it is suggested to download
+the `v4l-utils <https://git.linuxtv.org/v4l-utils.git/>`_. It provides
+two tools to handle remote controllers:
+
+- ir-keytable: provides a way to query the remote controller, list the
+  protocols it supports, enable in-kernel support for IR decoder or
+  switch the protocol and to test the reception of scan codes;
+
+- ir-ctl: provide tools to handle remote controllers that support raw mode
+  via LIRC interface.
+
+Usually, the remote controller module is auto-loaded when the TV card is
+detected. However, for a few devices, you need to manually load the
+ir-kbd-i2c module.
+
+How it works
+============
+
+The modules register the remote as keyboard within the linux input
+layer, i.e. you'll see the keys of the remote as normal key strokes
+(if CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBOARD is enabled).
+
+Using the event devices (CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV) it is possible for
+applications to access the remote via /dev/input/event<n> devices.
+The udev/systemd will automatically create the devices. If you install
+the `v4l-utils <https://git.linuxtv.org/v4l-utils.git/>`_, it may also
+automatically load a different keytable than the default one. Please see
+`v4l-utils <https://git.linuxtv.org/v4l-utils.git/>`_ ir-keytable.1
+man page for details.
+
+The ir-keytable tool is nice for trouble shooting, i.e. to check
+whenever the input device is really present, which of the devices it
+is, check whenever pressing keys on the remote actually generates
+events and the like.  You can also use any other input utility that changes
+the keymaps, like the input kbd utility.
+
+
+Using with lircd
+----------------
+
+The latest versions of the lircd daemon supports reading events from the
+linux input layer (via event device). It also supports receiving IR codes
+in lirc mode.
+
+
+Using without lircd
+-------------------
+
+Xorg recognizes several IR keycodes that have its numerical value lower
+than 247. With the advent of Wayland, the input driver got updated too,
+and should now accept all keycodes. Yet, you may want to just reassign
+the keycodes to something that your favorite media application likes.
+
+This can be done by setting
+`v4l-utils <https://git.linuxtv.org/v4l-utils.git/>`_ to load your own
+keytable in runtime. Please read  ir-keytable.1 man page for details.
