Sorry about this; I'd forgotten about earlier compilers when reviewing the
original patch. It's a bit unfortunate to have to hand-code this each time, but
I'm not sure that it'd actually be cleaner to have a macro.

For the moment, I reckon this is worth taking as-is.

Steve, are you happy to add:

  Fixes: 8c3526fb86060cb5 ("arm64: ftrace: Add direct call trampoline samples support")
  Acked-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@....com>

... ?

Thanks,
Mark.
