Again, Signed-off-by: is missing.

Russell mentioned something about the code not being compatible with
Thumb2, is the above if statement enough?

Do you mean: /* No extra data needed for ARM */

This looks OK. The new mcount stub for dynamic ftrace is a simple return.
It has been a while since I've programmed ARM (7 years ago), but I'm
assuming that loading the program counter with the link register is
a simple return.

The ftrace_modify_code could use a bit of clean up. Unless there is some
strange reason that it can not use the probe_kernel_ functions, it needs
to be updated. That approach is the most robust. Here's an example of
what it should look like:
{
unsigned char replaced[MCOUNT_INSN_SIZE];
/*
* Note: Due to modules and __init, code can
* disappear and change, we need to protect against faulting
* as well as code changing. We do this by using the
* probe_kernel_* functions.
*
* No real locking needed, this code is run through
* kstop_machine, or before SMP starts.
*/
/* read the text we want to modify */
if (probe_kernel_read(replaced, (void *)pc, MCOUNT_INSN_SIZE))
return -EFAULT;
/* Make sure it is what we expect it to be */
if (memcmp(replaced, old_code, MCOUNT_INSN_SIZE) != 0)
return -EINVAL;
/* replace the text with the new text */
if (probe_kernel_write((void *)pc, new_code, MCOUNT_INSN_SIZE))
return -EPERM;
flush_icache_range(pc, pc + MCOUNT_INSN_SIZE);
return 0;
}
And the new design expects special return values:
-EFAULT: error reading the address
-EINVAL: what was at the address was not what we expected
-EPERM: could not write to the address
