[PATCH -tip 3/4] ftrace/x86-64: Allow to change RIP in handlers

From: Masami Hiramatsu
Date: Wed Sep 05 2012 - 10:32:36 EST


From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Allow ftrace handlers to change RIP register (regs->ip)
in handlers. This will allow handlers to call another
function instead of original function.
