Hi all,

here is the current status of ftrace with regs, trace ops and live patching
for ppc64le. It seems I broke the ftrace graph caller and I spent most of
last week trying to fix it; Steven, maybe you could have a look? I startet
out with -mprofile-kernel and now found that the ordinary -pg is very
different. -mprofile-kernel only does the very bare minimal prologue
(set TOC, save LR) and then calls _mcount, which poses some problems.
I managed to get them resolved up to the point of the graph return ...

I tested intensively with the ftrace self tests, and, without the graph
caller, this set passes all of them on ppc64le. I tried not to break BE,
but may have missed an ifdef or two.

patch 2 (ftrace_modify_all_code default) is an independent prerequisite,
I would even call it a fix -- please consider applying it even if you
don't like the rest.

patch 5 has proven to be very useful during development; as mentioned earlier,
many of these functions may get called during a recoverable fault. The whole
recursion will probably terminate if all goes well, but I'd rather be
defensive here.

Torsten Duwe (8):
  ppc64le FTRACE_WITH_REGS implementation
  ppc use ftrace_modify_all_code default
  ppc64 ftrace_with_regs configuration variables
  ppc64 ftrace_with_regs: spare early boot and low level
  ppc64 ftrace: disable profiling for some functions
  ppc64 ftrace: disable profiling for some files
  Implement kernel live patching for ppc64le (ABIv2)
  Enable LIVEPATCH to be configured on ppc64le and add livepatch.o if it
    is selected.
