[PATCH 11/12] powerpc/ftrace: Rework __ftrace_make_nop()

From: Michael Ellerman
Date: Wed Feb 24 2016 - 09:29:53 EST


__ftrace_make_nop() needs to detect either the two instruction or
the three instruction versions of the _mcount() sequence.

But if we're running a kernel with the two instruction sequence, we need
to be careful not to read from ip - 8, or we'll fault and (possibly)
incorrectly declare the sequence doesn't match.

To keep the code simpler just look at ip - 4, and if it is either of the
expected instructions declare it good. We've already passed a lot of
other checks.
