Subject: [for-next][PATCH 03/12] ftrace: Add sample with custom ops

From: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@....com>

When reworking core ftrace code or architectural ftrace code, it's often
necessary to test/analyse/benchmark a number of ftrace_ops
configurations. This patch adds a module which can be used to explore
some of those configurations.

I'm using this to benchmark various options for changing the way
trampolines and handling of ftrace_ops work on arm64, and ensuring other
architectures aren't adversely affected.

For example, in a QEMU+KVM VM running on a 2GHz Xeon E5-2660
workstation, loading the module in various configurations produces:

| # insmod ftrace-ops.ko
| ftrace_ops: registering:
|   relevant ops: 1
|     tracee: tracee_relevant [ftrace_ops]
|     tracer: ops_func_nop [ftrace_ops]
|   irrelevant ops: 0
|     tracee: tracee_irrelevant [ftrace_ops]
|     tracer: ops_func_nop [ftrace_ops]
|   saving registers: NO
|   assist recursion: NO
|   assist RCU: NO
| ftrace_ops: Attempted 100000 calls to tracee_relevant [ftrace_ops] in 1681558ns (16ns / call)

|     tracer: ops_func_nop [ftrace_ops]
|   saving registers: NO
|   assist recursion: NO
|   assist RCU: NO
| ftrace_ops: Attempted 100000 calls to tracee_relevant [ftrace_ops] in 1693042ns (16ns / call)
