[PATCH 1/5] ftrace: allow archs to preform pre and post process for code modification

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@xxxxxxxxxx>

This patch creates the weak functions: ftrace_arch_modify_prepare
and ftrace_arch_modify_post_process that are called before and
after the stop machine is called to modify the kernel text.

If the arch needs to do pre or post processing, it only needs to define
these functions.
