Apologize for the typo in your name, Palmer.
> > This series optimizes function trace. The first 3 independent

> > 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

> > 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
