Does the 'fp' alias for x29 work with older assemblers? I guess it
does not matter gor GCC 8+ code, but be careful when you rewrite
existing stuff.

If sizeof(struct pt_regs) == S_FRAME_SIZE), you should subtract 16
additional bytes here

stp fp, lr, [sp, #-(S_FRAME_SIZE + 16)]!

... since that is the offset you use here

x9 is not a function argument, and if it were, you'd have clobbered it
by now. Please use a single 'str' and store x8 only

Same as above. It also deserves a mention that you are relying on the
absence of IPA-RA, and so x9..x18 are guaranteed to be dead at
function entry, and so they don't need to be restored here.

Could we do something like

if (*addr == FTRACE_ADDR)
mod_trampoline = &mod->arch.ftrace_trampoline[0];
else if (*addr == FTRACE_REGS_ADDR)
mod_trampoline = &mod->arch.ftrace_trampoline[1];

and get rid of the additional struct field and pointer?
