From: Guo Ren <guoren at linux.alibaba.com>
The previous ftrace detour implementation fc76b8b8011 ("riscv: Using
PATCHABLE_FUNCTION_ENTRY instead of MCOUNT") contain three problems.
- The most horrible bug is preemption panic which found by Andy [1].
Let's disable preemption for ftrace first, and Andy could continue
the ftrace preemption work.
- The "-fpatchable-function-entry= CFLAG" wasted code size
!RISCV_ISA_C.
- The ftrace detour implementation wasted code size.
Because Song Shuai has made some features based on reduced detour code
patch, we include them in the series for test and maintenance.
Make function graph use ftrace directly [2]
===========================================
In RISC-V architecture, when we enable the ftrace_graph tracer on some
functions, the function tracings on other functions will suffer extra
graph tracing work. In essence, graph_ops isn't limited by its func_hash
due to the global ftrace_graph_[regs]_call label. That should be
corrected.
What inspires me is the commit 0c0593b45c9b ("x86/ftrace: Make function
graph use ftrace directly") that uses graph_ops::func function to
install return_hooker and makes the function called against its
func_hash.
This series of patches makes function graph use ftrace directly for
riscv.
If FTRACE_WITH_REGS isn't defined, ftrace_caller keeps ftrace_graph_call
so that it can be replaced with the calling of prepare_ftrace_return by
the enable/disable helper.
As for defining FTRACE_WITH_REGS, ftrace_caller is adjusted to save the
necessary regs against the pt_regs layout, so it can reasonably call the
graph_ops::func function - ftrace_graph_func. And
ftrace_graph_[regs]_call
and its enable/disable helper aren't needed.
Test log:
The tests generated by CONFIG_FTRACE_STARTUP_TEST have passed in the
local
qemu-system-riscv64 virt machine. The following is the log during
startup.

Add WITH_DIRECT_CALLS support [3]
=================================
This series adds DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_DIRECT_CALLS support for RISC-V.
SAMPLE_FTRACE_DIRECT and SAMPLE_FTRACE_DIRECT_MULTI are also included
here as the samples for testing DIRECT_CALLS related interface.
First, select the DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_DIRECT_CALLS to provide
register_ftrace_direct[_multi] interfaces allowing user to register
the customed trampoline (direct_caller) as the mcount for one or
more target functions. And modify_ftrace_direct[_multi] are also
provided for modify direct_caller.
At the same time, the samples in ./samples/ftrace/ can be built
as kerenl module for testing these interfaces with SAMPLE_FTRACE_DIRECT
and SAMPLE_FTRACE_DIRECT_MULTI selected.
Second, to make the direct_caller and the other ftrace hooks
(eg. function/fgraph tracer, k[ret]probes) co-exist, a temporary
register
are nominated to store the address of direct_caller in
ftrace_regs_caller.
After the setting of the address direct_caller by direct_ops->func and
the RESTORE_REGS in ftrace_regs_caller, direct_caller will be jumped to
by the `jr` inst.
The following tests have been passed in my local qemu-riscv64 virt
machine.
1. tests with CONFIG_FTRACE_STARTUP_TEST
2. tests of samples/ftrace/ftrace*.ko
3. manual tests with any combination of the following hooks
- function/function_graph tracer
- ftrace*.ko
- kprobe/kretprobe
For your reference, here is the log when function tracer, kretprobe and
ftrace-direct-too.ko co-hooks the handle_mm_fault function.
```

tail-389 [001] ...1. 583.060996: myr: (do_page_fault+0x16c/0x5f2 <- handle_mm_fault)
```
Note1:
The checkpatch.pl will output some warnings on this series, like this
```
WARNING: Prefer using '"%s...", __func__' to using 'my_direct_func2',
this function's name, in a string
111: FILE: samples/ftrace/ftrace-direct-multi-modify.c:48:
+" call my_direct_func2\n"
```
The reason is that checkpatch depends on patch context providing the
function name. In the above warning, my_direct_func2 has some codeline
distance with the changed trunk, so its declaration doesn't come into
the patch, and then the warning jumps out.
You may notice the location of `my_ip` variable changes in the 2nd
patch. I did that for reducing the warnings to some extent. But killing
all the warnings will makes the patch less readable, so I stopped here.
