This doesn't build with CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL:
entry-ftrace.S:285: Error: PC not allowed in register list -- `stmdb sp!,{ip,lr,pc}'
Saving PC in STMDB is prohibited in Thumb and deprecated in ARM.

So this code only adjust the SP by 72 bytes. Since the stack is not
aligned to 8 bytes at entry to mcount, this code calls into C functions
with a misaligned stack. This is a violation of the procedure call
standard.
Also, I believe this should have unwind annotations to indicate where it
saved the registers. See mcount_enter for an example.

This doesn't build either:
entry-ftrace.S:285: Error: LR and PC should not both be in register list -- `ldmia sp,{r0-r15}'
Restoring LR and PC together is prohibited in Thumb and deprecated in
ARM. It's the same case with SP.

This doesn't get built on CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL since there's no suppport
for CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER there, but this is also using
deprecated operands.

This chunk above fixes the problem which Nicolai pointed out earlier. Since
it's a bug fix for the current dynamic ftrace code, it should really be
submitted as a separate patch. Feel free to use some variant of this
commit message which I wrote when I ran into this yesterday:
ARM: ftrace: fix dynamic ftrace with DEBUG_RODATA and !FRAME_POINTER
The support for dynamic ftrace with CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA involves
overriding the weak arch_ftrace_update_code() with a variant which makes
the kernel text writable around the patching.
This override was however added under the CONFIG_OLD_MCOUNT ifdef, and
CONFIG_OLD_MCOUNT is only enabled if frame pointers are enabled.
This leads to non-functional dynamic ftrace (ftrace triggers a
WARN_ON()) when CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is enabled and CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER
is not.
Move the override out of that ifdef and into the CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE
ifdef where it belongs.
Fixes: 80d6b0c2eed2a ("ARM: mm: allow text and rodata sections to be read-only")

This code (and the rest of your additions to this file below), are already
under CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE and afaics CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS is
always enabled when the former is enabled, so could you please drop
these ifdefs?
The code in entry-ftrace.S under CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS would
also benefit from just using CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE everywhere instead.
