Subject: Re: [PATCH v3 6/7] riscv: Add KPROBES_ON_FTRACE supported

Hi Masami,

Current riscv ftrace_caller utilize fp(s0) - 8 in stack to get ra of
function, eg:
foo:
   2bb0:       7119                    addi    sp,sp,-128
    2bb2:       f8a2                    sd      s0,112(sp)
    2bb4:       fc86                    sd      ra,120(sp)
...
    2bc4:       0100                    addi    s0,sp,128
...
0000000000002bca <.LVL828>:
    2bca:       00000097                auipc   ra,0x0
    2bce:       000080e7                jalr    ra # 2bca <.LVL828> //_mcount

So just put two nops before prologue of function isn't enough, because
riscv don't like arm64 which could use x9-x18 reserved regs to pass
ra(x30).
    | mov       x9, x30
    | bl        <ftrace-entry>
If the benefit is just making a kprobe on function symbol address to
prevent disassembling, I'll delay this feature.


I also have a look at HAVE_FENTRY & HAVE_NOP_MCOUNT. Seems it just
avoid using scripts/recordmcount.pl script and directly generate nops
for _mcount.
It's different from -fpatchable-function-entry=2 which generating nops
before function prologue in arm64, isn't it?
