Trying to use a kprobe on ppc32 results in the below splat:
BUG: Unable to handle kernel data access on read at 0x7c0802a6

NIP [c002e9f0] emulate_step+0x28/0x324
LR [c0011858] optinsn_slot+0x128/0x10000
Call Trace:
opt_pre_handler+0x7c/0xb4 (unreliable)
optinsn_slot+0x128/0x10000
ret_from_syscall+0x0/0x28
The offending instruction is:
81 24 00 00 lwz r9,0(r4)
Here, we are trying to load the second argument to emulate_step():
struct ppc_inst, which is the instruction to be emulated. On ppc64,
structures are passed in registers when passed by value. However, per
the ppc32 ABI, structures are always passed to functions as pointers.
This isn't being adhered to when setting up the call to emulate_step()
in the optprobe trampoline. Fix the same.

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.
