With KPROBES_ON_FTRACE, kprobe is allowed to be inserted on instructions that branch to _mcount (referred to as ftrace location). With -mprofile-kernel, we now include the preceding 'mflr r0' as being part of the ftrace location.
However, by default, probing on an instruction that is not actually the branch to _mcount() is prohibited, as that is considered to not be at an instruction boundary. This is not the case on powerpc, so allow the same by overriding arch_check_ftrace_location() In addition, we update kprobe_ftrace_handler() to detect this scenarios and to pass the proper nip to the pre and post probe handlers.
