It is strange that you add a source file in one patch and make it
build in a much later patch.
I suggest to restructure the entire patchset a bit. Please, first
add support for FTRACE_WITH_REGS. It makes sense on its own.
Then add the livepatch support on top of it.
Otherwise, it is not necessary to send v2 immediately for such
non-trivial code. There might be more people that would want
to look at it and it might take days until they find a time.
It is always better to collect some feedback, think about it
over night(s). Every question often opens many other questions
and it usually takes some time until all settles down into
a good picture again.
Best Regards,
Petr
