Subject: [PATCH 1/4] ftrace: pass fregs to arch_ftrace_set_direct_caller()

In subsequent patches we'll arrange for architectures to have an
ftrace_regs which is entirely distinct from pt_regs. In preparation for
this, we need to minimize the use of pt_regs to where strictly
necessary in the core ftrace code.

This patch changes the prototype of arch_ftrace_set_direct_caller() to
take ftrace_regs rather than pt_regs, and moves the extraction of the
pt_regs into arch_ftrace_set_direct_caller().

For x86, we need to move arch_ftrace_set_direct_caller() after the
definition of struct ftrace_regs. As arch_ftrace_set_direct_caller() is
always called with a non-NULL pt_regs by call_direct_funcs() whose ops
have FTRACE_OPS_FL_SAVE_REGS, it's not necessary to add an additional
NULL check.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

Instead of adding the above preprocessor check, the below chunk should be
moved into the CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_DIRECT_CALLS block above.

Sure; but note that doing that naively means 'struct ftrace_regs' won't always
be declared (e.g. if !CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER), and will result in warnings, e.g.

| CC arch/x86/kernel/asm-offsets.s
| In file included from ./include/linux/kvm_host.h:32,
| from arch/x86/kernel/../kvm/vmx/vmx.h:5,

... so I'll either need to add some ifdeffery, for CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER, or I
can hoist the declaration of 'struct ftrace_regs' to not depend on
CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER.

I guess the latter is preferable, e.g.

Was this ftrace_get_regs() the only reason why we have
config DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_DIRECT_CALLS
depends on DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS
?

If we no longer use it, maybe this should be:
depends on DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS || DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS
?

The kbuild robot complained that this led to x86 getting multiple definitions
of arch_ftrace_set_direct_caller(), so I've also added the below:

... AFAICT s390 doesn't need similar treatment.
