It is not what I understand from their code, see
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.17-rc3/source/arch/s390/kernel/mcount.S#L37
They have a common macro called with argument 'allregs' which is set to
0 for ftrace_caller() and 1 for ftrace_regs_caller().
When allregs == 1, the macro seems to save more.
But ok, I can do like x86, but I need a trick to know whether
FL_SAVE_REGS is set or not, like they do with fregs->regs.cs
Any idea what the condition can be for powerpc ?
Thanks
Christophe
