ftrace: Do not pass data to ftrace_dyn_arch_init As the data parameter is not really used by any ftrace_dyn_arch_init, remove that from ftrace_dyn_arch_init. This also removes the addr local variable from ftrace_init which is now unused. Note the documentation was imprecise as it did not suggest to set (*data) to 0.

ftrace: Pass retval through return in ftrace_dyn_arch_init() No architecture uses the "data" parameter in ftrace_dyn_arch_init() in any way, it just sets the value to 0. And this is used as a return value in the caller -- ftrace_init, which just checks the retval against zero. Note there is also "return 0" in every ftrace_dyn_arch_init. So it is enough to check the retval and remove all the indirect sets of data on all archs.

ftrace, ia64: IA64 dynamic ftrace support IA64 dynamic ftrace support. The original _mcount stub for each function is like: alloc r40=ar.pfs,12,8,0 mov r43=r0;; mov r42=b0 mov r41=r1 nop.i 0x0 br.call.sptk.many b0 = _mcount;; The patch convert it to below for nop: [MII] nop.m 0x0 mov r3=ip nop.i 0x0 [MLX] nop.m 0x0 nop.x 0x0;; This isn't completely nop, as there is one instuction 'mov r3=ip', but it should be light and harmless for code follow it. And below is for call [MII] nop.m 0x0 mov r3=ip nop.i 0x0 [MLX] nop.m 0x0 brl.many .;; In this way, only one instruction is changed to convert code between nop and call. This should meet dyn-ftrace's requirement. But this requires CPU support brl instruction, so dyn-ftrace isn't supported for old Itanium system. Assume there are quite few such old system running.
