Subject: [PATCH v2 00/25] powerpc: ftrace optimisation and cleanup and more [v2]

This series provides optimisation and cleanup of ftrace on powerpc.

With this series ftrace activation is about 20% faster on an 8xx.

At the end of the series come additional cleanups around ppc-opcode,
that would likely conflict with this series if posted separately.

Main changes since v1 (details in after each individual patch description):
- Added 3 patches (8, 9, 10) that convert PPC64_ELF_ABI_v{1/2} macros by CONFIG_PPC64_ELF_ABI_V{1/2}
- Taken comments from Naveen

Christophe Leroy (25):
  powerpc/ftrace: Refactor prepare_ftrace_return()
  powerpc/ftrace: Remove redundant create_branch() calls

  powerpc/ftrace: Use patch_instruction() return directly
  powerpc: Add CONFIG_PPC64_ELF_ABI_V1 and CONFIG_PPC64_ELF_ABI_V2
  powerpc: Replace PPC64_ELF_ABI_v{1/2} by CONFIG_PPC64_ELF_ABI_V{1/2}
  powerpc: Finalise cleanup around ABI use
  powerpc/ftrace: Make __ftrace_make_{nop/call}() common to PPC32 and
    PPC64
  powerpc/ftrace: Don't include ftrace.o for CONFIG_FTRACE_SYSCALLS
