Hi Torsten,

Check for compiler support of -fpatchable-function-entry and use it
to intercept functions immediately on entry, saving the LR in x9.
Disable ftracing in efi/libstub, because this triggers cross-section
linker errors now (-pg is disabled already for those files).
Add an ftrace_caller which can handle LR in x9, as well as an
ftrace_regs_caller that additionally writes out a set of pt_regs
for inspection.

Actually there's an issue here. CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS is automatically selected if the arch has HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS and DYNAMIC_FTRACE. Meaning we can no longer enable DYNAMIC_FTRACE without CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS.

So we wouldn't build an arm64 kernel with dynamic function tracing anymore without a recent enough compiler :( .

Is there a way to have "HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS" depending on whether the compiler supports the patchable function entry or not?

(Not familiar enough with the build system to suggest something here).

I should've asked this in my initial review. But why are we always calling ftrace_stub rather than have a patchable "nop" like in the !CC_USING_PATCHABLE_FUNCTION_ENTRY version?

It might just be me, but since this macro is used in two different functions I'm not overly fond of defining in the middle of the function code.
