This patch set includes the building blocks of dynamic ftrace features
for RISC-V machines.

Changes in v3:
- Replace the nops at the tracer call sites into a "call ftrace_stub"
instruction for better understanding (1/6 and 2/6)

Changes in v2:
- Fix the return value as writing to kernel text goes wrong (2/6)
- Replace manual comparisons by calling memcmp (2/6)
- Simplify the conditional assignment in the Makefile (1/6)

riscv/ftrace: Add RECORD_MCOUNT support
riscv/ftrace: Add dynamic function tracer support
riscv/ftrace: Add dynamic function graph tracer support

Sorry it took me a while to get around to these. Do you mind submitting a v4 that's based on linux-4.15? I'm getting all sorts of merge errors trying to "git am" these.
