[RFC PATCH 1/1] powerpc/ftrace: Exclude real mode code from

[Naveen N. Rao]

We can't take a trap in most parts of real mode code. Instead of adding
the 'notrace' annotation to all C functions that can be invoked from
real mode, detect that we are in real mode on ftrace entry and return
back.

This RFC only handles -mprofile-kernel to demonstrate the approach being 
considered. We will need to handle other ftrace entry if we decide to 
continue down this path.
