Since kprobes can probe into a running kernel code, it can change the
register set, including instruction pointer.

When CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE is enabled, static ftrace will fail to
boot up and compile. It's a carelessness when developing "dynamic
ftrace" and "ftrace with regs".

This patch implements FTRACE_WITH_REGS for csky, which allows a traced
function's arguments (and some other registers) to be captured into a
struct pt_regs, allowing these to be inspected and/or modified.

Support dynamic ftrace including dynamic graph tracer. Gcc-csky with -pg
will produce call site in every function prologue and we can use these
call site to hook trace function.
gcc with -pg origin call site:
push lr
jbsr _mcount
nop32
nop32
If the (callee - caller)'s offset is in range of bsr instruction, we'll
modify code with:
push lr
bsr _mcount
nop32
nop32
Else if the (callee - caller)'s offset is out of bsr instrunction, we'll
modify code with:
push lr
movih r26, ...
ori r26, ...
jsr r26
(r26 is reserved for jsr link reg in csky abiv2 spec.)

When gcc with -pg, it'll add _mcount stub in every function. We need
implement the _mcount in kernel and ftrace depends on stackstrace.
To do: call-graph, dynamic ftrace
