[RFC PATCH v2 0/5] powerpc/ftrace: Move ftrace sequence out of line

[Naveen N Rao]

This is v2 of the series posted here:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/cover.1702045299.git.naveen@kernel.org

Since v2, the primary change is that the entire ftrace sequence is moved 
out of line and this is now restricted to 64-bit powerpc by default.  
Patch 5 has the details.

I have dropped patches to enable DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_CALL_OPS and ftrace 
direct support so that this approach can be finalized.

This series depends on Benjamin Gray's series adding support for 
patch_ulong():
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240515024445.236364-1-bgray@linux.ibm.com


Appreciate feedback on the approach.


Thanks,
Naveen
