Subject[PATCH] Add function graph tracer support for ARM (resend)
My first post of this wasn't wide enough. Now adding the
linux-arm-kernel list and a few more CC:s. Sorry if you
get this twice.

Add ftrace function-graph tracer support for ARM.

This includes adding code in mcount to check for
(and call) a registered function graph trace entry
routine, and adding infrastructure to the threadinfo
structure to support a return trampoline.

I wrote a separate program to scan the kernel assembly
output and validate that callframes for mcount are
generated properly. (It's available upon request for
anyone interested.)

Much of the code in arch/arm/kernel/ftrace.c was
cloned from arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.c

IRQENTRY_TEXT was added to vmlinux.lds.S (to eliminate
a compiler error on kernel/trace/trace_functions_graph.c),
although no routines were marked as __irq_entry.

FIXTHIS indicates questions or areas of uncertainty.

This works for me with a gcc 4.1.1 compiler (EABI with
frame pointers turned on) on an OMAP OSK board, with
kernel 2.6.29.

The use of "already_here" works around trace entry nesting
(I believe due to instrumentation of either cpu_clock or
raw_smp_processor_id). Advice on the best way to deal
with this would be appreciated. (that is, whether
to use the guard variable, or just un-instrument the
offending routines).

Thanks for any feedback.
