Yes please.

arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.c:

#ifdef CONFIG_MODULES
#include <linux/moduleloader.h>
/* Module allocation simplifies allocating memory for code */
static inline void *alloc_tramp(unsigned long size)
{
	return module_alloc(size);
}
static inline void tramp_free(void *tramp)
{
	module_memfree(tramp);
}
#else
/* Trampolines can only be created if modules are supported */
static inline void *alloc_tramp(unsigned long size)
{
	return NULL;
}
static inline void tramp_free(void *tramp) { }
#endif
