Ian Munsie 02424d8966 powerpc/ftrace: Implement raw syscall tracepoints on PowerPC
This patch implements the raw syscall tracepoints on PowerPC and exports
them for ftrace syscalls to use.

To minimise reworking existing code, I slightly re-ordered the thread
info flags such that the new TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT bit would still fit
within the 16 bits of the andi. instruction's UI field. The instructions
in question are in /arch/powerpc/kernel/entry_{32,64}.S to and the
_TIF_SYSCALL_T_OR_A with the thread flags to see if system call tracing
is enabled.

In the case of 64bit PowerPC, arch_syscall_addr and
arch_syscall_match_sym_name are overridden to allow ftrace syscalls to
work given the unusual system call table structure and symbol names that
start with a period.

Steven Rostedt bf528a3a9b powerpc32, ftrace: save and restore mcount regs with macro
Impact: clean up

Use a macro to save and restore the registers for PowerPC32,
since that code is duplicated.

This is similar to the work done by Cyrill Gorcunov for the
mcount code in x86_64.

Steven Rostedt f48cb8b48b powerpc/ppc64: ftrace, handle module trampolines for dyn ftrace
Impact: Allow 64 bit PowerPC to trace modules with dynamic ftrace

This adds code to handle the PPC64 module trampolines, and allows for
PPC64 to use dynamic ftrace.

Thanks to Paul Mackerras for these updates:

  - fix the mod and rec->arch.mod NULL checks.
  - fix to is_bl_op compare.

Thanks to Milton Miller for:

  - finding the nasty race with using two nops, and recommending
    instead that I use a branch 8 forward.

Steven Rostedt 8fd6e5a8c8 powerpc: ftrace, convert to new dynamic ftrace arch API
Impact: update to PowerPC ftrace arch API

This patch converts PowerPC to use the new dynamic ftrace arch API.

Thanks to Paul Mackennas for pointing out the mistakes of my original
test_24bit_addr function.

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.

Stephen Rothwell b8b572e101 powerpc: Move include files to arch/powerpc/include/asm
from include/asm-powerpc.  This is the result of a

mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm
git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asm

Followed by a few documentation/comment fixups and a couple of places
where <asm-powepc/...> was being used explicitly.  Of the latter only
one was outside the arch code and it is a driver only built for powerpc.
