Michal Simek 4f911b0daf microblaze: ftrace: Add dynamic function graph tracer
This patch add support for dynamic function graph tracer.

There is one my expactation that I can do flush_icache after
all code modification. On microblaze is this safer than do
flush for every entry. For icache is used name flush but
correct should be invalidation - this will be fix in upcomming
new cache implementaion and WB support.

Michal Simek 7d241ff056 microblaze: ftrace: Add dynamic trace support
With dynamic function tracer, by default, _mcount is defined as an
"empty" function, it returns directly without any more action. When
enabling it in user-space, it will jump to a real tracing
function(ftrace_caller), and do the real job for us.

Differ from the static function tracer, dynamic function tracer provides
two functions ftrace_make_call()/ftrace_make_nop() to enable/disable the
tracing of some indicated kernel functions(set_ftrace_filter).

In the kernel version, there is only one "_mcount" string for every
kernel function, so, we just need to match this one in mcount_regex of
scripts/recordmcount.pl.

For more information please look at code and Documentation/trace folder.

Steven ACK that scripts/recordmcount.pl part.
