[PATCH] ftrace: On PowerPC we don't need frame pointers for CALLER_ADDRs

[Anton Vorontsov <avorontsov@ru.mvista.com>]

According to this discussion:

Frame pointers do nothing useful on PowerPC, so lib/Kconfig.debug
makes CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER unselectable on PPC targets. But ftrace.h
requires CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER for CALLER_ADDR macros. Therefore
tracing is completely useless on PowerPC:

[...]
  <idle>-0       0X.h3    2us+:      0:140:R   + [000]  1733:120:S mvtsd
  <idle>-0       0X.h3    9us+: 0 (0)
  <idle>-0       0X..3   72us : 0 (0)
  <idle>-0       0X..3   73us :      0:140:R ==> [000]  1733:120:R mvtsd

On PPC we can safely use __builtin_return_address(1..6) w/o frame
pointers, and with this patch the trace output looks OK:

[...]
  <idle>-0       0X.h3    2us+:      0:140:R   + [000]  1740:120:S mvtsd
  <idle>-0       0X.h3    9us+: hrtimer_wakeup (__run_hrtimer)
  <idle>-0       0X..3   87us : cpu_idle (__got2_end)
  <idle>-0       0X..3   89us :      0:140:R ==> [000]  1740:120:R mvtsd

Btw, on PowerPC tracing is also broken w/o "ring-buffer: fix alignment
problem" patch (currently collecting dust in the -tip tree, commit
082605de5f82eb692cc90f7fda071cc01bb5ac34). Any chance the fix go into
Linus' tree, to not waste other people's time bisecting and debugging
the problem? ;-)

For google: tracing, regression, "ring-buffer: move some metadata
into buffer page", commit abc9b56d66fbd4d93302ef4bf6fa726e1b8255f9,
answer is here.
