Subject: [PATCH 0/8] arm64: ftrace cleanup + FTRACE_WITH_REGS

Hi,

This series is a reworked version of Torsten's v8 FTRACE_WITH_REGS
series [1]. I've tried to rework the existing code in preparatory
patches so that the patchable-function-entry bits slot in with fewer
surprises. This version is based on v5.4-rc3, and can be found in my
arm64/ftrace-with-regs branch [2].

I've added an (optional) ftrace_init_nop(), which the core code uses to
initialize callsites. This allows us to avoid a synthetic MCOUNT_ADDR
symbol, and more cleanly separates the one-time initialization of the
callsite from dynamic NOP<->CALL modification. Architectures which don't
implement this get the existing ftrace_make_nop() with MCOUNT_ADDR.

I've moved the module PLT initialization to module load time, which
simplifies runtime callsite modification. This also means that we don't
transitently mark the module text RW, and will allow for the removal of
module_disable_ro().

Since the last posting, parisc gained ftrace support using
patchable-function-entry. I've made the handling of module callsite
locations common in kernel/module.c with a new FTRACE_CALLSITE_SECTION
definition, and removed the newly redundant bits from arch/parisc.

Thanks,
Mark.
