The gcc switch -mprofile-kernel defines a new ABI for calling _mcount() very early in the function with minimal overhead. Although mprofile-kernel has been available since GCC 3.4, there were bugs which were only fixed recently. Currently it is known to work in GCC 4.9, 5 and 6. Additionally there are two possible code sequences generated by the flag, the first uses mflr/std/bl and the second is optimised to omit the std. Currently only gcc 6 has the optimised sequence. This patch supports both sequences. Initial work started by Vojtech Pavlik, used with permission. Key changes: - rework _mcount() to work for both the old and new ABIs. - implement new versions of ftrace_caller() and ftrace_graph_caller() which deal with the new ABI. - updates to __ftrace_make_nop() to recognise the new mcount calling sequence. - updates to __ftrace_make_call() to recognise the nop'ed sequence. - implement ftrace_modify_call(). - updates to the module loader to surpress the toc save in the module stub when calling mcount with the new ABI.
