[PATCH 6/7] ftrace/x86-64: Allow to change RIP in handlers

[Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1077 bytes --]

Allow ftrace handlers to change RIP register (regs->ip)
in handlers. This will allow handlers to call another
function instead of original function.
