[PATCH 0/1 v6] [GIT PULL] ftrace/x86: Ftrace cleanup and add support for -mfentry on x86_32

[Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>]

[
 Ingo, Thomas or H.Peter,

 I believe this is all set to go now. I updated those patches that Linus
 commented on and I don't believe there are any more issues. I ran this
 through several tests (although some of my tests are failing due to
 bugs introduced by others in 4.11-rc2). You can take this as a patch
 series, or you can pull from my tree defined below. It's based on 4.11-rc2
 as I noticed that tip/x86/core is rather outdated, and Linus is fine with
 basing off of his tagged releases.

With the issues of gcc screwing around with the mcount stack frame causing
function graph tracer to panic on x86_32, and with Linus saying that we
should start deprecating mcount (at least on x86), I figured that x86_32
needs to support fentry.

First, I renamed mcount_64.S to ftrace_64.S. As we want to get away from
mcount, having the ftrace code in a file called mcount seems rather backwards.

Next I moved the ftrace code out of entry_32.S. It's not in entry_64.S
and it does not belong in entry_32.S.

I noticed that the x86_32 code has the same issue as the x86_64 did
in the past with respect to a stack frame. I fixed that just for the main
ftrace_caller. The ftrace_regs_caller is rather special, and so is
function graph tracing.

I realized the ftrace_regs_caller code was complex due to me aggressively
saving flags, even though I could still do push, lea and mov without
changing them. That made the logic a little nicer.

Finally I added the fentry code.

I tested this with an older compiler (for mcount) with and without
FRAME_POINTER set. I also did it with a new compiler (with fentry), with and
without FRAME_POINTER. I tested function tracing, stack tracing, function_graph
tracing, and kprobes (as that uses the ftrace_regs_caller).
