[PATCH v5 00/17] powerpc: Core ftrace rework, support for ftrace direct and bpf trampolines

[Hari Bathini]

This is v5 of the series posted here:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1720942106.git.naveen@xxxxxxxxxx/

This series reworks core ftrace support on powerpc to have the function
profiling sequence moved out of line. This enables us to have a single
nop at kernel function entry virtually eliminating effect of the
function tracer when it is not enabled. The function profile sequence is
moved out of line and is allocated at two separate places depending on a
new config option.

For 64-bit powerpc, the function profiling sequence is also updated to
include an additional instruction 'mtlr r0' after the usual
two-instruction sequence to fix link stack imbalance (return address
predictor) when ftrace is enabled. This showed an improvement of ~10%
in null_syscall benchmark (NR_LOOPS=10000000) on a Power 10 system
with ftrace enabled.

Finally, support for ftrace direct calls is added based on support for
DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_CALL_OPS. BPF Trampoline support is added atop this.

Support for ftrace direct calls is added for 32-bit powerpc. There is
some code to enable bpf trampolines for 32-bit powerpc, but it is not
complete and will need to be pursued separately.

Patches 1 to 10 are independent of this series and can go in separately
though. Rest of the patches depend on the series from Benjamin Gray
adding support for patch_uint() and patch_ulong():

Changelog v5:
* Intermediate files named .vmlinux.arch.* instead of .arch.vmlinux.*
* Fixed ftrace stack tracer failure due to inadvertent use of
  'add r7, r3, MCOUNT_INSN_SIZE' instruction instead of
  'addi r7, r3, MCOUNT_INSN_SIZE'
* Fixed build error for !CONFIG_MODULES case.
* .vmlinux.arch.* files compiled under arch/powerpc/tools
* Made sure .vmlinux.arch.* files are cleaned with `make clean`
* num_ool_stubs_text_end used for setting up ftrace_ool_stub_text_end
  set to zero instead of computing to some random negative value when
  not required.
* Resolved checkpatch.pl warnings.
* Dropped RFC tag.

Changelog v4:
- Patches 1, 10 and 13 are new.
- Address review comments from Nick. Numerous changes throughout the
  patch series.
- Extend support for ftrace ool to vmlinux text up to 64MB (patch 13).
- Address remaining TODOs in support for BPF Trampolines.
- Update synchronization when patching instructions during trampoline
  attach/detach.
