Subject[PATCH 4/7] arm: Add ftrace with regs support
Message-ID<sLrpE-4T9-17@gated-at.bofh.it>
This adds __ftrace_regs_caller which, unlike __ftrace_caller,
adds register saving/restoring and livepatch handling if
the pc register gets modified by klp_ftrace_handler.

So basically what the below does is to undo the mcount prologue and
recall the new function as the old function is called.

But the above really could do with a lot of comments to explain exactly
what it is doing.

I don't condemn or condone this code. I'm just happy I don't have to
maintain it.

Some comments about the above stack manipulation (in the code) would be
useful - remember, the contents of your cover letter is lost when the
patches are applied.

However, I'm not convinced yet that this doesn't unbalance the stack,
unless the livepatching code pushes some extra registers onto it,
particularly with the following unstacking code after the livepatch
code.

As the kbuild robot reported, you can't do this. For ARM, it's unknown
what the value stored for r13 will be, and for a Thumb-2 kernel the
whole instruction is flat out unpredictable (i.e. it might just undef or
anything).

Again, the value of SP at this point is now unknown (regardless of
whether what the value on memory was correct or not). Not good.

Either use non-writeback addressing modes, or avoid saving/restoring SP
at all (AFAICS it isn't necessary, since if the SP was changed in
between, you then wouldn't know where to restore the saved registers
from anyway).

Yep, as I said in the cover letter, I'll try to fix that in the next
iteration of this patch. You're right, sp doesn't need to be pushed or
popped. I'll send a another patch series which will include a fix for 
that tomorrow, latest.
