Here, the "HAVE_PT_REGS_COMPAT_FTRACE_REGS" does not mean that the
ftrace_regs is completely compatible with pt_regs, but on the memory
it wraps struct pt_regs (thus we can just cast the type).
- CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS
ftrace_regs is completely compatible with pt_regs
- CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS
| ftrace_regs may not compatible with pt_regs
|
+- CONFIG_HAVE_PT_REGS_COMPAT_FTRACE_REGS
but on memory image, ftrace_regs includes pt_regs.
Thank you,
