[PATCH v5 0/9] ftrace with regs + live patching for ppc64 LE (ABI v2)

[Torsten Duwe]

Changes since v4:
  * change comment style in entry_64.S to C89
    (nobody is using assembler syntax comments there).
  * the bool function restore_r2 shouldn't return 2,
    that's a little confusing.
  * Test whether the compiler supports -mprofile-kernel
    and only then define CC_USING_MPROFILE_KERNEL
  * also make the return value of klp_check_compiler_support
    depend on that.

Major changes since v3:
  * the graph tracer works now.
    It turned out the stack frame it tried to manipulate does not
    exist at that point.
  * changes only needed in order to support -mprofile-kernel are now
    in a separate patch, prepended.
  * Kconfig cleanup so this is only selectable on ppc64le.



Torsten Duwe (9):
  ppc64 (le): prepare for -mprofile-kernel
  ppc64le FTRACE_WITH_REGS implementation
  ppc use ftrace_modify_all_code default
  ppc64 ftrace_with_regs configuration variables
  ppc64 ftrace_with_regs: spare early boot and low level
  ppc64 ftrace: disable profiling for some functions
  ppc64 ftrace: disable profiling for some files
  Implement kernel live patching for ppc64le (ABIv2)
  Enable LIVEPATCH to be configured on ppc64le and add livepatch.o if it
    is selected.
