This code is based on a patch from Vojtech Pavlik.
http://marc.info/?l=linux-s390&m=140438885114413&w=2
The actual implementation now differs significantly:
Instead of adding a second function "ftrace_regs_caller" which would be nearly
identical to the existing ftrace_caller function, the current ftrace_caller
function is now an alias to ftrace_regs_caller and always passes the needed
pt_regs structure and function_trace_op parameters unconditionally.
Besides that also use asm offsets to correctly allocate and access the new
struct pt_regs on the stack.
While at it we can make use of new instruction to get rid of some indirect
loads if compiled for new machines.
The passed struct pt_regs can be changed by the called function and it's new
contents will replace the current contents.
Note: to change the return address the embedded psw member of the pt_regs
structure must be changed. The psw member is right now incomplete, since
the mask part is missing. For all current use cases this should be sufficent.
Providing and restoring a sane mask would mean we need to add an epsw/lpswe
pair to the mcount code. Only these two instruction would cost us ~120 cycles
which currently seems not necessary.
