Subject[PATCH v2 5/7] ftrace: Update ftrace_location() for powerpc -mprofile-kernel
Date
Now that we are patching the preceding 'mflr r0' instruction with
-mprofile-kernel, we need to update ftrace_location() to recognise that
as being part of ftrace.

To do this, we introduce FTRACE_IP_EXTENSION to denote the length (in
bytes) of the mcount caller. By default, this is set to 0. For powerpc
with CONFIG_MPROFILE_KERNEL, we set this to MCOUNT_INSN_SIZE so that
this works if ftrace_location() is called with the address of the actual
ftrace entry call, or with the address of the preceding 'mflr r0'
instruction.

Note that we do not check if the preceding instruction is indeed the
'mflr r0'. Earlier -mprofile-kernel ABI included a 'std r0,stack'
instruction between the 'mflr r0' and the 'bl _mcount'. This is harmless
as the 'std r0,stack' instruction is inconsequential and is not relied
upon.
