ftrace_stop() is going away as it disables parts of function tracing
that affects users that should not be affected. But ftrace_graph_stop()
is built on ftrace_stop(). Here's another example of killing all of
function tracing because something went wrong with function graph
tracing.
Instead of disabling all users of function tracing on function graph
error, disable only function graph tracing. To do this, the arch code
must call ftrace_graph_is_dead() before it implements function graph.

As the data parameter is not really used by any ftrace_dyn_arch_init,
remove that from ftrace_dyn_arch_init. This also removes the addr
local variable from ftrace_init which is now unused.
Note the documentation was imprecise as it did not suggest to set
(*data) to 0.

No architecture uses the "data" parameter in ftrace_dyn_arch_init() in any
way, it just sets the value to 0. And this is used as a return value
in the caller -- ftrace_init, which just checks the retval against
zero.
Note there is also "return 0" in every ftrace_dyn_arch_init. So it is
enough to check the retval and remove all the indirect sets of data on
all archs.

- Do not trace idle loop which takes a lot time
- Fix cache handling in generic ftrace code
- Do not trace lib functions ashldi3, ashrdi3, lshrdi3
Functions are called from generic ftrace code which
can't be traced

The Microblaze dynamic ftrace code assumes a call ordering that is not met
in all scenarios. Specifically, executing a command similar to:
echo 105 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_pid
before any other tracing-related commands results in a kernel panic:
BUG: failure at arch/microblaze/kernel/ftrace.c:198/ftrace_update_ftrace_func()!
Recoding ftrace_update_ftrace_func() to use &ftrace_caller directly eliminates
the need to capture its address elsewhere (and thus rely on a particular call
sequence).

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.

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.
