We are introducing a new ftrace mechanism in order to phase out
stop_machine() and enable kernel preemption. The new mechanism requires
ftrace patchable function entries to be 24 bytes and aligned to 4 Byte
boundaries.
Before applying this patch, the size of the kernel code, with 43432 of
ftrace entries, was at 12.31 MB. Under the same configuration, the size
has increased to 12.68 MB after applying this patch set.
