arm64: Correct ftrace calls to aarch64_insn_gen_branch_imm() The aarch64_insn_gen_branch_imm() function takes an enum as the last argument rather than a bool. It happens to work because AARCH64_INSN_BRANCH_LINK matches 'true' but better to use the actual type. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>

arm64: ftrace: Add dynamic ftrace support This patch allows "dynamic ftrace" if CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE is enabled. Here we can turn on and off tracing dynamically per-function base. On arm64, this is done by patching single branch instruction to _mcount() inserted by gcc -pg option. The branch is replaced to NOP initially at kernel start up, and later on, NOP to branch to ftrace_caller() when enabled or branch to NOP when disabled. Please note that ftrace_caller() is a counterpart of _mcount() in case of 'static' ftrace. More details on architecture specific requirements are described in Documentation/trace/ftrace-design.txt.

arm64: Add ftrace support This patch implements arm64 specific part to support function tracers, such as function (CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER), function_graph (CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER) and function profiler (CONFIG_FUNCTION_PROFILER). With 'function' tracer, all the functions in the kernel are traced with timestamps in ${sysfs}/tracing/trace. If function_graph tracer is specified, call graph is generated. The kernel must be compiled with -pg option so that _mcount() is inserted at the beginning of functions. This function is called on every function's entry as long as tracing is enabled. In addition, function_graph tracer also needs to be able to probe function's exit. ftrace_graph_caller() & return_to_handler do this by faking link register's value to intercept function's return path. More details on architecture specific requirements are described in Documentation/trace/ftrace-design.txt.
