[PATCH v1 00/22] powerpc: ftrace optimisation and cleanup and more [v1]

[Christophe Leroy]

This series provides optimisation and cleanup of ftrace on powerpc.

With this series ftrace activation is about 20% faster on an 8xx.

At the end of the series come additional cleanups around ppc-opcode,
that would likely conflict with this series if posted separately.

Christophe Leroy (22):
  powerpc/ftrace: Refactor prepare_ftrace_return()
  powerpc/ftrace: Remove redundant create_branch() calls
  powerpc/code-patching: Inline is_offset_in_{cond}_branch_range()
  powerpc/ftrace: Use is_offset_in_branch_range()
  powerpc/code-patching: Inline create_branch()
  powerpc/ftrace: Inline ftrace_modify_code()
  powerpc/ftrace: Use patch_instruction() return directly
  powerpc/ftrace: Make __ftrace_make_{nop/call}() common to PPC32 and
    PPC64
  powerpc/ftrace: Don't include ftrace.o for CONFIG_FTRACE_SYSCALLS
  powerpc/ftrace: Use CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER instead of
    CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE
  powerpc/ftrace: Remove ftrace_plt_tramps[]
  powerpc/ftrace: Use BRANCH_SET_LINK instead of value 1
  powerpc/ftrace: Use PPC_RAW_xxx() macros instead of opencoding.
  powerpc/ftrace: Use size macro instead of opencoding
  powerpc/ftrace: Simplify expected_nop_sequence()
  powerpc/ftrace: Minimise number of #ifdefs
  powerpc/inst: Add __copy_inst_from_kernel_nofault()
  powerpc/ftrace: Don't use copy_from_kernel_nofault() in
    module_trampoline_target()
  powerpc/inst: Remove PPC_INST_BRANCH
  powerpc/modules: Use PPC_INST_BRANCH_MASK instead of opencoding
  powerpc/inst: Remove PPC_INST_BL
  powerpc/opcodes: Remove unused PPC_INST_XXX macros
