Wow, interesting timing. I just finished yesterday my own
version of this patch (for 2.6.29) - it looks amazingingly similar.

What's up with putting fp in r2 - is that required in the latest
prepare_ftrace_return()?

------------- patch follows ----------------
Add support to __gnu_mcount_nc, used by newer (4.x?) Gnu compilers,
for ftrace function_graph support on ARM.
