The old prepare_ftrace_return() for MIPS is confused and have introduced some problem. This patch cleans up the names of the arguments, variables and related functions. For MIPS, the 2nd argument of prepare_ftrace_return() is not really the 'selfpc' described in ftrace-design.txt but instead it is the self return address. This did break the compatibility of the generic interface but really reduced one unneeded calculation for to get the current function name, the parent return address and the self return address are enough, no need to tranform the self return address to the self address. But set_graph_function of function graph tracer is an exception, it does need the 2nd argument of prepare_ftrace_return() as 'selfpc', for it will use 'selfpc' to match user's configuration of function graph entries, but in reality, it doesn't need the 'selfpc' but the recorded ip address of the mcount calling site in the __mcount_loc section. So, the 2nd argument of prepare_ftrace_return() is not important, the real requirement is the right recorded ip address should be calculated and assign to trace.func, this will be fixed in the next patches.
