[RFC][PATCH 0/4 v4] ftrace/kprobes: Setting up ftrace for kprobes

[Steven Rostedt]

I'm only posting patches that changed from v3. Those changes include:

Saving the flags after MCOUNT_RESTORE_FRAME (suggested by Masami)
I decided to restore flags from the pt_regs, such that a kprobe
could change the flags register.

I added the offset fix for function parent pointer (pointed out by
 Alexander van Heukelum).

I fixed the i386 version of "save regs" to restore flags correctly
(as pointed out by Masami Hiramatsu).

I also added two new patches.

1) I removed the double check to function_trace_stop variable that
   the function graph tracer was doing (it tested it in the function
   tracer trampoline, and again in the function graph trampoline).

2) I added internal recursion protection, that I found kprobes was
  triggering. This was long overdue anyway.

Masami,

Could you give your reviewed by tags for the first two patches, at least.

Thanks,

-- Steve
