[RFC PATCH 5/9] powerpc/kprobes: Use ftrace to determine if a probe is at function entry

From: Naveen N Rao
Date: Fri Dec 08 2023 - 11:35:42 EST


Rather than hard-coding the offset into a function to be used to
determine if a kprobe is at function entry, use ftrace_location() to
determine the ftrace location within the function and categorize all
instructions till that offset to be function entry.

For functions that cannot be traced, we fall back to using a fixed
offset of 8 (two instructions) to categorize a probe as being at
function entry for 64-bit elfv2.
