I will have a test about this.

Yes, that can happen both ways.

This sounds good. I have no better idea than this now.

At least try it first.

I will fix this error, thanks.

Sorry for these scenes.

A separate template !

This may be a good way, and I think the patching here is very HACK 
too(Not very friendly).

I had thought of other ways before, similar to the method on X86_64, remove
the ftrace_common(), directly modifying ftrace_caller/ftrace_reg_caller, 
We will

only need to copy the code once in this way, and these is no need to modify

call ftrace_common to NOP.


Using a trampoline template sounds great. but this also means that we 
need to

maintain a template(or maybe two templates: one for caller, another for 
regs_caller).

Hi, Mark, what do you think about it ?

YEAH, I will. arm64's ftrace_modify_code can work after the trampoline has
been marked RO.

It seems that, I will cleanup my code.
