The first two patches fix a kernel oops when function tracing is enabled
while using KVM and are v2 of the patches posted at:
https://www.mail-archive.com/linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org/msg130548.html
Patch 3 is a new patch that tightens how we detect _mcount() call sites
for -mprofile-kernel during module loading.
The last two patches implement support for ftrace_caller() to
conditionally save the register state. The existing ftrace_caller() is
renamed to ftrace_regs_caller() since we save the entire pt_regs today.
A new implementation of ftrace_caller() that saves the minimum register
state is provided. We switch between the two variants through
ftrace_modify_call(). The necessary support to call into the two
different variants from modules is also added.
