Storing this value will help prevent unwinders from getting out of sync
with the function graph tracer ret_stack. Now instead of needing a
stateful iterator, they can compare the return address pointer to find
the right ret_stack entry.
Note that an array of 50 ftrace_ret_stack structs is allocated for every
task. So when an arch implements this, it will add either 200 or 400
bytes of memory usage per task (depending on whether it's a 32-bit or
64-bit platform).

Function graph tracer modifies a return address (LR) in a stack frame by
calling ftrace_prepare_return() in a traced function's function prologue.
The current code does this modification before preserving an original
address at ftrace_push_return_trace() and there is always a small window
of inconsistency when an interrupt occurs.
This doesn't matter, as far as an interrupt stack is introduced, because
stack tracer won't be invoked in an interrupt context. But it would be
better to proactively minimize such a window by moving the LR modification
after ftrace_push_return_trace().

There is no need to worry about module and __init text disappearing
case, because that ftrace has a module notifier that is called when
a module is being unloaded and before the text goes away and this
code grabs the ftrace_lock mutex and removes the module functions
from the ftrace list, such that it will no longer do any
modifications to that module's text, the update to make functions
be traced or not is done under the ftrace_lock mutex as well.
And by now, __init section codes should not been modified
by ftrace, because it is black listed in recordmcount.c and
ignored by ftrace.

For ftrace on arm64, kstop_machine which is hugely disruptive
to a running system is not needed to convert nops to ftrace calls
or back, because that to be modified instrucions, that NOP, B or BL,
are all safe instructions which called "concurrent modification
and execution of instructions", that can be executed by one
thread of execution as they are being modified by another thread
of execution without requiring explicit synchronization.

ftrace_enable_ftrace_graph_caller and ftrace_disable_ftrace_graph_caller
should replace B(jmp) instruction and not BL(call) instruction.
Commit 9f1ae7596aad("arm64: Correct ftrace calls to
aarch64_insn_gen_branch_imm()") had a typo and used
AARCH64_INSN_BRANCH_LINK instead of AARCH64_INSN_BRANCH_NOLINK.
Either instruction will work, as the link register is saved/restored
across the branch but this better matches the intention of the code.

The aarch64_insn_gen_branch_imm() function takes an enum as the last
argument rather than a bool. It happens to work because
AARCH64_INSN_BRANCH_LINK matches 'true' but better to use the actual
type.

This patch allows "dynamic ftrace" if CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE is enabled.
Here we can turn on and off tracing dynamically per-function base.
On arm64, this is done by patching single branch instruction to _mcount()
inserted by gcc -pg option. The branch is replaced to NOP initially at
kernel start up, and later on, NOP to branch to ftrace_caller() when
enabled or branch to NOP when disabled.
Please note that ftrace_caller() is a counterpart of _mcount() in case of
'static' ftrace.
More details on architecture specific requirements are described in
Documentation/trace/ftrace-design.txt.

This patch implements arm64 specific part to support function tracers,
such as function (CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER), function_graph
(CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER) and function profiler
(CONFIG_FUNCTION_PROFILER).
With 'function' tracer, all the functions in the kernel are traced with
timestamps in ${sysfs}/tracing/trace. If function_graph tracer is
specified, call graph is generated.
The kernel must be compiled with -pg option so that _mcount() is inserted
at the beginning of functions. This function is called on every function's
entry as long as tracing is enabled.
In addition, function_graph tracer also needs to be able to probe function's
exit. ftrace_graph_caller() & return_to_handler do this by faking link
register's value to intercept function's return path.
More details on architecture specific requirements are described in
Documentation/trace/ftrace-design.txt.
