[PATCH 2/7] arm: ftrace: Add call modify mechanism

From: Abel Vesa
Date: Tue Dec 06 2016 - 12:07:56 EST


Function ftrace_modify_call provides a way to replace ftrace_stub
with the ftrace function. This helps the klp_ftrace_handler to be
called via ftrace_ops_no_ops, which in turn will set the pc with
the patched function's starting address. This is used for
livepatching.
