Hi Chengming,

BTW, if you don't hear back for a week, it's OK to send a ping. You don't
need to wait a month. Usually, it's just that the maintainers have other
priorities and will try to look at it when they get a chance, but then
forget to do so :-/

Is there a case were we have DYNAMIC_FTRACE but not
DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS?

You deleted ftrace_graph_caller above from entry-ftrace.S, if we can get
here with some options, wouldn't that break the build?
