This is v4 of the patches posted at:
https://www.mail-archive.com/linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org/msg130739.html

This series has been tested using mambo for p8 (hash) and p9 (radix).


v4 changes:
- flip the paca field from 'ftrace_disabled' to 'ftrace_enabled' to 
  signify a default disable policy to address early boot
- add and use helpers to disable/enable ftrace, which addresses 32-bit 
  build issues
- a new patch to address issues with function_graph tracing during cpu 
  hotplug.

The last three patches are unchanged from the previous series, for the 
most part (except for the ftrace_disabled -> ftrace_enabled adjustment).

The last two patches implement support for ftrace_caller() to 
conditionally save the register state. This speeds up the function 
tracer a bit. The existing ftrace_caller() is renamed to 
ftrace_regs_caller() since we save the entire pt_regs today. A new 
implementation of ftrace_caller() that saves the minimum register state 
is provided. We switch between the two variants through 
ftrace_modify_call(). The necessary support to call into the two 
different variants from modules is also added.
