Please find a way to add this in arm specific code. Do not add architecture
defines in generic code.

You could add:

#ifndef ARCH_HAVE_FTRACE_DIRECT_TEST_FUNC
noinline __noclone static void trace_direct_tramp(void) { }
#endif

here, and in arch/arm64/include/ftrace.h

#define ARCH_HAVE_FTRACE_DIRECT_TEST_FUNC

and define your test function in the arm64 specific code.
