bebfcf6d27 SELFOUR-499: X86, ARM: Add userspace invocations for hardware debugging
This commit implements the body of SELFOUR-499. The API exposes the x86 DR0-7
and ARM coprocessor 14 features to userspace by virtualizing them as context-
switched registers in the TCB. Implemented as TCB invocations. This feature is
only built when CONFIG_HARDWARE_DEBUG_API is selected.

* Add low-level support routines for setting, unsetting, getting, enabling
  and disabling breakpoints.
* Add support for single-stepping as well.
  ^ Single-stepping is not supported on ARMv6 since the hardware
    doesn't have support.
  ^ ARM implements single-stepping as instruction breakpoints
    configured to fault on every instruction -- this is achieved through
    the "mismatch" mode, which is only supported from ARMv7 onwards.
* Also support explicit software break requests, a la "BKPT" and "INT $3".

* New invocations:
  * seL4_TCB_SetBreakpoint().
  * seL4_TCB_GetBreakpoint().
  * seL4_TCB_UnsetBreakpoint().
  * seL4_TCB_ConfigureSingleStepping().
* New constants:
  ^ Event types:
    ^ seL4_InstructionBreakpoint.
    ^ seL4_DataBreakpoint.
    ^ seL4_SoftwareBreakRequest.
  ^ Access types:
    ^ seL4_BreakOnRead.
    ^ seL4_BreakOnWrite.
    ^ seL4_BreakOnReadWrite.
  ^ Exports:
    ^ seL4_NumHWBreakpoints.
    ^ seL4_NumExclusiveBreakpoints.
    ^ seL4_NumExclusiveWatchpoints.
    ^ seL4_NumDualFunctionMonitors.
    ^ seL4_FirstBreakpoint.
    ^ seL4_FirstWatchpoint.
    ^ seL4_FirstDualFunctionMonitor.

See documentation in the seL4 API manual.

7ad7cfba0a Fix standalone debug compilation on ARMv6.
This commit moves a declaration of `ksKernelEntry` such that it is now only
guarded by `DEBUG`, not additionally `CONFIG_PRINTING`. This allows the kernel
to be built standalone with debugging enabled using the following invocation:

    DEBUG=1 TOOLPREFIX=arm-none-eabi- CPU=arm1136jf-s PLAT=imx31 ARCH=arm \
      ARMV=armv6 make

fc1feb670e SELFOUR-446 Benchmark: Track syscall feature
Benchmark feature that currently:
- Keeps track of system calls info
- Start time
- Duration
- Capability type
- Invocation tag
- Log the number of invocations of each system call*
- Log the number of invocations for each capability type per syscall.
- Has 3 new syscalls (dump, reset, get size).
- This new feature uses the existing log buffer (which is 1MiB for x86
and ARM). Since the number of syscall invocations is not
deterministic, the logged number of invocations is limited by the size
of the buffer. I suggested to enable the users to pass their own
user-level buffer, to enable more flexibility, later.
- ENABLE_BENCHMARKS is now a parent config option of trace points and
system call track features, they can't be used at the same time.
