Rabin Vincent 72dc43a9eb ARM: 6319/1: ftrace: add Thumb-2 support to dynamic ftrace
Handle the different nop and call instructions for Thumb-2.  Also, we
need to adjust the recorded mcount_loc addresses because they have the
lsb set.

Rabin Vincent 3b6c223b1b ARM: 6318/1: ftrace: fix and update dynamic ftrace
This adds mcount recording and updates dynamic ftrace for ARM to work
with the new ftrace dyamic tracing implementation.  It also adds support
for the mcount format used by newer ARM compilers.

With dynamic tracing, mcount() is implemented as a nop.  Callsites are
patched on startup with nops, and dynamically patched to call to the
ftrace_caller() routine as needed.

Uwe Kleine-König 181f817eaa [ARM] support tracing when using newer compilers
Since gcc 4.4 the name and calling convention for function profiling
on ARM changed.  With this patch both types are supported.

See http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-ports/2008-04/msg00009.html for some
details.

Uwe Kleine-König 4bf1fa5a34 [ARM] 5613/1: implement CALLER_ADDRESSx
From: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de>

As __builtin_return_address(n) doesn't work for ARM with n > 0, the
kernel needs its own implementation.

This fixes many warnings saying:

	warning: unsupported argument to '__builtin_return_address'

The new methods and walk_stackframe must not be instrumented because
CALLER_ADDRESSx is used in the various tracers and tracing the tracer is
a bad idea.

What's currently missing is an implementation using unwind tables.  This
is not fatal though, it's just that the tracers don't get enough
information to be really useful.

Note that if both ARM_UNWIND and FRAME_POINTER are enabled,
walk_stackframe uses unwind information.  So in this case the same
implementation is used as when FRAME_POINTER is disabled.

Steven Rostedt 606576ce81 ftrace: rename FTRACE to FUNCTION_TRACER
Due to confusion between the ftrace infrastructure and the gcc profiling
tracer "ftrace", this patch renames the config options from FTRACE to
FUNCTION_TRACER.  The other two names that are offspring from FTRACE
DYNAMIC_FTRACE and FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD will stay the same.

This patch was generated mostly by script, and partially by hand.

Russell King 4baa992243 [ARM] move include/asm-arm to arch/arm/include/asm
Move platform independent header files to arch/arm/include/asm, leaving
those in asm/arch* and asm/plat* alone.
