The C compiler is allowing more checks to make sure that function pointers are assigned to the correct prototype function. Unfortunately, the function graph tracer uses a special name with its assigned ftrace_graph_return function pointer that maps to a stub function used by the function tracer (ftrace_stub). The ftrace_graph_return variable is compared to the ftrace_stub in some archs to know if the function graph tracer is enabled or not. This means we can not just simply create a new function stub that compares it without modifying all the archs. Instead, have the linker script create a function_graph_stub that maps to ftrace_stub, and this way we can define the prototype for it to match the prototype of ftrace_graph_return, and make the compiler checks all happy!
