Commit 722b3c7469 modified x86 ftrace to
avoid tracing all functions called from irqs when function graph was
used with a filter. Port the same fix to ARM.

As commit 592201a9f1 (ARM: Thumb-2: Support Thumb-2 in undefined
instruction handler) says:
32-bit Thumb instructions are specified in the form:
((first_half << 16 ) | second_half)
which matches the layout used by the ARM ARM.
Convert the ftrace code to use the same format to avoid the usage of
different formats in kernel code.

Before replacing an instruction, the ftrace code determines what the old
instruction should be and verifies that that's what's really there in
memory before replacing it. This is useful if for example a bug in
mcountrecord causes it to record wrong locations.
However, in cases where we replace call sites in entry-common.S, these
checks are not needed. For these, we currently just memcpy() the memory
content and then "verify" it -- this is quite useless and can be
removed.

[rabin@rab.in: rebase on top of latest code,
keep code in ftrace.c instead of separate file,
check for ftrace_graph_entry also]

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.

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.

/tmp/ccJ3ssZW.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccJ3ssZW.s:1952: Error: can't resolve `.text' {.text section} - `.LFB1077'
This is caused because:
.section .data
.section .text
.section .text
.previous
does not return us to the .text section, but the .data section; this
makes use of .previous dangerous if the ordering of previous sections
is not known.
Fix up the other users of .previous; .pushsection and .popsection are
a safer pairing to use than .section and .previous.

The arch dependent function ftrace_mcount_set was only used by the daemon

Record the address of the mcount call-site. Currently all archs except sparc64
record the address of the instruction following the mcount call-site. Some
general cleanups are entailed. Storing mcount addresses in rec->ip enables
looking them up in the kprobe hash table later on to check if they're kprobe'd.
