[PATCH v7 3/3] arm64: use -fpatchable-function-entry if available

From: Torsten Duwe
Date: Fri Jan 18 2019 - 11:39:17 EST


Test whether gcc supports -fpatchable-function-entry and use it to promote
DYNAMIC_FTRACE to DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS. Amend support for the new object
section that holds the locations (__patchable_function_entries) and define
a proper "notrace" attribute to switch it off.
