I guess it will be a bit hard to port this on x86-32, because
on x86-32, the top of stack address in pt_regs is the address
of sp member (e.g. &(pt_regs->sp)). I mean that when mcount-entry
calls ftrace_caller, it pushes an address of the next instruction
of mcount-entry on the top of stack.
In that case, &(pt_regs->sp) points the entry which stores the
address, instead of the return address of probed function.

e.g. with kprobes (on x86-32):

[  <bx>  ] <- pt_regs
[  ...   ]
[  <cs>  ]
[<flags> ]
[ret-addr] <- &(pt_regs.sp)
[  arg1  ]
[  arg2  ]

with this method:

[  <bx>  ] <- pt_regs
[  ...   ]
[  <cs>  ]
[<flags> ]
[mcount-ret] <- &(pt_regs.sp)
[ret-addr]
[  arg1  ]
[  arg2  ]

I think this is hard to solve without a tricky hack.

For example, on x86-32, MCOUNT_FRAME_SAVE saves
flags on the entry which will be <cs> and it saves
mcount-ret to local stack and moves flags to next entry.

<save-frame>
pushf			# save flags on CS(%esp)
subl $12, %esp		# skip ip, orig_ax and gs
pushl %fs
pushl %es
...
pushl %ebx
movl 56(%esp), %ebx	# load mcount-ret address
movl 52(%esp), %ebp	# load flags
movl %ebp, 56(%esp)	# store flags

call function (ebx is callee save)

<restore-frame>
movl 56(%esp), %ebp	# load flags
movl %ebp, 52(%esp)	# store flags
movl %ebx, 56(%esp)	# load mcount-ret address
...
popf
ret

Hmm?

I can see below code before save frame.

	cmpl $0, function_trace_stop
	jne  ftrace_stub

Please pushf before comparing it. :)
Sometimes, the value of eflags is worth to watch.
I know that SF/ZF will be never used between
function call, so it is OK if the eflags is saved
in MCOUNT_SAVE_FRAME.

At least, pt_regs.sp must be saved for accessing
vars on stack.

You also need to restore the rest of pt_regs if
ftrace_save_regs is true.

Thank you,
