[PATCH v5 6/6] arm64: ftrace: add a test of function prologue analyzer

The patch ("arm64: ftrace: add arch-specific stack tracer") introduced
a function prologue analyzer.
Given that there is no fixed template for a function prologue, at least
on gcc for aarch64, a function prologue analyzer may be rather heuristic.
So this patch adds a kernel command line option,
function_prologue_analyzer_test, in order to run a basic test at startup
by executing an analyzer against all the *traceable* functions.
For function_prologue_analyzer_test=2, the output looks like:
po sp fp symbol
== == == ======
0: 0 0x040 0x000 gic_handle_irq+0x20/0xa4
1: 0 0x040 0x000 gic_handle_irq+0x34/0x114
2: 0 0x030 0x000 run_init_process+0x14/0x48
3: 0 0x020 0x000 try_to_run_init_process+0x14/0x58
4: 0 0x080 0x000 do_one_initcall+0x1c/0x194
...
22959: 0 0x020 0x000 tty_lock_slave+0x14/0x3c
22960: 0 0x020 0x000 tty_unlock_slave+0x14/0x3c
function prologue analyzer test: 0 errors
"po" indicates a position of callsite of mcount(), and should be zero
if an analyzer has parsed a function prologue successfully and reached
a location where fp is properly updated.
"sp" is a final offset to a parent's fp at the exit of function prologue.
"fp" is also an ofset against sp at the exit of function prologue.
So normally,
<new sp> = <old fp> + <"sp">
<new fp> = <new sp> - <"fp">
And the last line shows the number of possible errors in the result.
For function_prologue_analyzer_test=1, only the last line will be shown.
