Enable the function graph tracer in combination with the EABI unwinder,
so that Thumb2 builds or Clang ARM builds can make use of it.
This involves using the unwinder to locate the return address of an
instrumented function on the stack, so that it can be overridden and
made to refer to the ftrace handling routines that need to be called at
function return.
Given that for these builds, it is not guaranteed that the value of the
link register is stored on the stack, fall back to the stack slot that
will be used by the ftrace exit code to restore LR in the instrumented
function's execution context.

Fix the frame pointer handling in the function graph tracer entry and
exit code so we can enable HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_FP_TEST. Instead of using
FP directly (which will have different values between the entry and exit
pieces of the function graph tracer), use the value of SP at entry and
exit, as we can derive the former value from the frame pointer.

Avoid explicit literal loads and instead, use accessor macros that
generate the optimal sequence depending on the architecture revision
being targeted.

Tweak the ftrace return paths to avoid redundant loads of SP, as well as
unnecessary clobbering of IP.
This also fixes the inconsistency of using MOV to perform a function
return, which is sub-optimal on recent micro-architectures but more
importantly, does not perform an interworking return, unlike compiler
generated function returns in Thumb2 builds.
Let's fix this by popping PC from the stack like most ordinary code
does.

Kernel images that are large in comparison to the range of a direct
branch may fail to work as expected with ftrace, as patching a direct
branch to one of the core ftrace routines may not be possible from the
.init.text section, if it is emitted too far away from the normal .text
section.
This is more likely to affect Thumb2 builds, given that its range is
only -/+ 16 MiB (as opposed to ARM which has -/+ 32 MiB), but may occur
in either ISA.
To work around this, add a couple of trampolines to .init.text and
swap these in when the ftrace patching code is operating on callers in
.init.text.

The compiler emitted hook used for ftrace consists of a PUSH {LR} to
preserve the link register, followed by a branch-and-link (BL) to
__gnu_mount_nc. Dynamic ftrace patches away the latter to turn the
combined sequence into a NOP, using a POP {LR} instruction.
This is not necessary, since the link register does not get clobbered in
this case, and simply adding #4 to the stack pointer is sufficient, and
avoids a memory access that may take a few cycles to resolve depending
on the micro-architecture.

Using ADR to take the address of 'ftrace_stub' via a local label
produces an address that has the Thumb bit cleared, which means the
subsequent comparison is guaranteed to fail. Instead, use the badr
macro, which forces the Thumb bit to be set.

Commit cafa0010cd51 ("Raise the minimum required gcc version to 4.6")
raised the minimum GCC version to 4.6. Old mcount is only required for
GCC versions older than 4.4.0. Hence old mcount support can be dropped
too.

The DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS configuration makes it possible for a
ftrace operation to specify if registers need to saved/restored by
the ftrace handler. This is needed by kgraft and possibly other
ftrace-based tools, and the ARM architecture is currently lacking
this feature. It would also be the first step to support the
"Kprobes-on-ftrace" optimization on ARM.
This patch introduces a new ftrace handler that stores the registers
on the stack before calling the next stage. The registers are restored
from the stack before going back to the instrumented function.
A side-effect of this patch is to activate the support for
ftrace_modify_call() as it defines ARCH_SUPPORTS_FTRACE_OPS for the
ARM architecture.

This reverts commit 4dd1837d7589f468ed109556513f476e7a7f9121.
Moving the exports for assembly code into the assembly files breaks
KSYM trimming, but also breaks modversions.
While fixing the KSYM trimming is trivial, fixing modversions brings
us to a technically worse position that we had prior to the above
change:
- We end up with the prototype definitions divorsed from everything
else, which means that adding or removing assembly level ksyms
become more fragile:
* if adding a new assembly ksyms export, a missed prototype in
asm-prototypes.h results in a successful build if no module in
the selected configuration makes use of the symbol.
* when removing a ksyms export, asm-prototypes.h will get forgotten,
with armksyms.c, you'll get a build error if you forget to touch
the file.
- We end up with the same amount of include files and prototypes,
they're just in a header file instead of a .c file with their
exports.
As for lines of code, we don't get much of a size reduction:
(original commit)
47 files changed, 131 insertions(+), 208 deletions(-)
(fix for ksyms trimming)
7 files changed, 18 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-)
(two fixes for modversions)
1 file changed, 34 insertions(+)
3 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)
which results in a net total of only 25 lines deleted.
As there does not seem to be much benefit from this change of approach,
revert the change.

BSYM() was invented to allow us to work around a problem with the
assembler, where local symbols resolved by the assembler for the 'adr'
instruction did not take account of their ISA.
Since we don't want BSYM() used elsewhere, replace BSYM() with a new
macro 'badr', which is like the 'adr' pseudo-op, but with the BSYM()
mechanics integrated into it. This ensures that the BSYM()-ification
is only used in conjunction with 'adr'.

The ftrace assembly code doesn't need to live in entry-common.S and
be surrounded with #ifdef CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER. Instead, move it
to its own file and conditionally assemble it.
