Differences since v1 [1]: - Use a READ_ONCE() to read the direct call address in call_direct_funcs - Added an Acked-by from Mark This series refactors ftrace direct call APIs in preparation for arm64 support. It is roughly a subset of [2] rebased on v6.3-rc2 and meant to be taken by Steven's tree before all the arm64 specific bits. The first patch was suggested by Steven in a review of [1], it makes it more obvious to the caller that filters probably need to be freed when unregistering a direct call. The next three patches consolidate the two existing ftrace APIs for registering direct calls. They are only split to make the reviewer's life easier. Currently, there is both a _ftrace_direct and _ftrace_direct_multi API. Apart from samples and selftests, there are no users of the _ftrace_direct API left in-tree so this deletes it and renames the _ftrace_direct_multi API to _ftrace_direct for simplicity. The main benefit of this refactoring is that, with the API that's left, an ftrace_ops backing a direct call will only ever point to one direct call. We can therefore store the direct called trampoline address in the ops (patch 5) and, in the future arm64 series, look it up from the ftrace trampoline. (in the meantime, it makes call_direct_funcs a bit simpler too) Ftrace direct calls technically don't need DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS so this extends its support to DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS (patch 6). arm64 won't support DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS. Finally, it fixes the ABI of the stub direct call trampoline used in ftrace selftests.

So I applied this to my for-next branch as the first patches starting from
v6.3-rc3. Last commit (patch 7) is fee86a4ed536f4e521f3a4530242e152dd2a466b
The branch is here:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace.git
trace/for-next
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace.git/commit/?h=trace/for-next&id=fee86a4ed536f4e521f3a4530242e152dd2a466b
Since that commit only contains the updates for the direct trampolines that
ARM64 needs, and I'm not going to rebase that branch, you can just merge it
into the ARM64 tree so that you can base your changes on it. Make sure you
merge that commit, not the branch, as I have more tracing specific patches
on top of that commit.
Make sure to write a nice change log message in why you are merging that
branch, so that Linus knows about it. I'm Cc'ing Linus now so that he's
aware, but the change log should remind him why you pulled in my branch.
Again, at the above mentioned commit, that branch only contains the updates
you need to make the direct trampolines work on ARM64.

Florent, can you post a new spinf of the remaining arm64 bits rebased atop that? Thanks, Mark.
