[PATCH V11 0/5] riscv: Optimize function trace

[Song Shuai]

Changes in V11:

- append a patch that makes the DIRECT_CALL samples support RV32I in
  this series fixing the rv32 build failure reported by Palmer

- validated with ftrace boottime selftest and manual sample modules test
  in qemu-system for RV32I and RV64I

This series optimizes function trace. The first 3 independent 
patches has been picked in the V7 version of this series, the
subsequent version continues the following 4 patches:

select FTRACE_MCOUNT_USE_PATCHABLE_FUNCTION_ENTRY [1] (patch 1)
==========================================================

In RISC-V, -fpatchable-function-entry option is used to support
dynamic ftrace in this commit afc76b8b8011 ("riscv: Using
PATCHABLE_FUNCTION_ENTRY instead of MCOUNT"). So recordmcount
don't have to be called to create the __mcount_loc section before
the vmlinux linking.

Here selects FTRACE_MCOUNT_USE_PATCHABLE_FUNCTION_ENTRY to tell
Makefile not to run recordmcount.

Make function graph use ftrace directly [2] (patch 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.

Add WITH_DIRECT_CALLS support [3] (patch 3, 4)
==============================================

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.
