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

From: Jisheng Zhang
Date: Mon Aug 19 2019 - 07:29:19 EST


From: Torsten Duwe <duwe@xxxxxxx>

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.
