Custom trampolines can only be enabled if there is only a single ops attached to it. If there's only a single callback registered to a function, and the ops has a trampoline registered for it, then we can call the trampoline directly. This is very useful for improving the performance of ftrace and livepatch. If more than one callback is registered to a function, the general trampoline is used, and the custom trampoline is not restored back to the direct call even if all the other callbacks were unregistered and we are back to one callback for the function. To fix this, set FTRACE_FL_TRAMP flag if rec count is decremented to one, and the ops that left has a trampoline.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
