powerpc/ftrace: Add support for -mprofile-kernel ftrace ABI
The gcc switch -mprofile-kernel defines a new ABI for calling _mcount()
very early in the function with minimal overhead.
Although mprofile-kernel has been available since GCC 3.4, there were
bugs which were only fixed recently. Currently it is known to work in
GCC 4.9, 5 and 6.
Additionally there are two possible code sequences generated by the
flag, the first uses mflr/std/bl and the second is optimised to omit the
std. Currently only gcc 6 has the optimised sequence. This patch
supports both sequences.
Initial work started by Vojtech Pavlik, used with permission.
Key changes:
- rework _mcount() to work for both the old and new ABIs.
- implement new versions of ftrace_caller() and ftrace_graph_caller()
which deal with the new ABI.
- updates to __ftrace_make_nop() to recognise the new mcount calling
sequence.
- updates to __ftrace_make_call() to recognise the nop'ed sequence.
- implement ftrace_modify_call().
- updates to the module loader to surpress the toc save in the module
stub when calling mcount with the new ABI.
