[
Ingo, Thomas or H.Peter,

I believe this is all set to go now. I updated those patches that Linus commented on and I don't believe there are any more issues. I ran this through several tests (although some of my tests are failing due to bugs introduced by others in 4.11-rc2). You can take this as a patch series, or you can pull from my tree defined below. It's based on 4.11-rc2 as I noticed that tip/x86/core is rather outdated, and Linus is fine with basing off of his tagged releases.
]

With the issues of gcc screwing around with the mcount stack frame causing function graph tracer to panic on x86_32, and with Linus saying that we should start deprecating mcount (at least on x86), I figured that x86_32 needs to support fentry.

First, I renamed mcount_64.S to ftrace_64.S. As we want to get away from mcount, having the ftrace code in a file called mcount seems rather backwards.

Next I moved the ftrace code out of entry_32.S. It's not in entry_64.S and it does not belong in entry_32.S.

I noticed that the x86_32 code has the same issue as the x86_64 did in the past with respect to a stack frame. I fixed that just for the main ftrace_caller. The ftrace_regs_caller is rather special, and so is function graph tracing.

I realized the ftrace_regs_caller code was complex due to me aggressively saving flags, even though I could still do push, lea and mov without changing them. That made the logic a little nicer.

Finally I added the fentry code.

I tested this with an older compiler (for mcount) with and without FRAME_POINTER set. I also did it with a new compiler (with fentry), with and without FRAME_POINTER. I tested function tracing, stack tracing, function_graph tracing, and kprobes (as that uses the ftrace_regs_caller).

Please pull (or take the patch series) from:

[ Note, all is the same from v5 but patch 2, so I'm only posting that one ]

Steven Rostedt (VMware) (6):
ftrace/x86_64: Rename mcount_64.S to ftrace_64.S ftrace/x86_32: Move the ftrace specific code out of entry_32.S ftrace/x86_32: Add stack frame pointer to ftrace_caller ftrace/x86_32: Clean up ftrace_regs_caller
ftrace/x86_32: Add -mfentry support to x86_32 with DYNAMIC_FTRACE set ftrace/x86: Use Makefile logic instead of #ifdef for compiling ftrace_*.o

----

Changes from v5:

Removed file name from header comment. (Thomas Gleixner)

PATCH v6 1/1 ftrace/x86_32: Move the ftrace specific code out of entry_32.S

From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <[email protected]>

The function tracing hook code for ftrace is not an entry point from userspace and does not belong in the entry_*.S files. It has already been moved out of entry_64.S. This moves it out of entry_32.S into its own ftrace_32.S file.

Also removed the file name from the comment header in ftrace_64.S.
