Changes since RFC:
- Patches 1 and 2: No changes
- Patch 3: rename function to ftrace_replace_code_rec() to signify that
it acts on a ftrace record.
- Patch 4: numerous small changes, including those suggested by Nick
Piggin.
- Patch 4: additionally handle scenario where __ftrace_make_call() can
be invoked without having called __ftrace_make_call_prep(), when a
kernel module is loaded while function tracing is active.
- Patch 5 to 7: new, to have ftrace claim ownership of two instructions,
and to have kprobes work properly with this.
--
On powerpc64, -mprofile-kernel results in two instructions being
emitted: 'mflr r0' and 'bl _mcount'. So far, we were only nop'ing out
the branch to _mcount(). This series implements an approach to also nop
out the preceding mflr.
