Pull ftrace updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "Rewrite of function graph tracer to allow multiple users

  Up until now, the function graph tracer could only have a single user
  attached to it. If another user tried to attach to the function graph
  tracer while one was already attached, it would fail. Allowing
  function graph tracer to have more than one user has been asked for
  since 2009, but it required a rewrite to the logic to pull it off so
  it never happened. Until now!

  There's three systems that trace the return of a function. That is
  kretprobes, function graph tracer, and BPF. kretprobes and function
  graph tracing both do it similarly. The difference is that kretprobes
  uses a shadow stack per callback and function graph tracer creates a
  shadow stack for all tasks. The function graph tracer method makes it
  possible to trace the return of all functions. As kretprobes now needs
  that feature too, allowing it to use function graph tracer was needed.
  BPF also wants to trace the return of many probes and its method
  doesn't scale either. Having it use function graph tracer would
  improve that.

  By allowing function graph tracer to have multiple users allows both
  kretprobes and BPF to use function graph tracer in these cases. This
  will allow kretprobes code to be removed in the future as it's version
  will no longer be needed.

  Note, function graph tracer is only limited to 16 simultaneous users,
  due to shadow stack size and allocated slots"

 Similarly, when you call ftrace_return_to_handler(), pass it the frame pointer.
 
-HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_RET_ADDR_PTR
---------------------------------
-
-An arch may pass in a pointer to the return address on the stack.  This
-prevents potential stack unwinding issues where the unwinder gets out of
-sync with ret_stack and the wrong addresses are reported by
-ftrace_graph_ret_addr().
-
-Adding support for it is easy: just define the macro in asm/ftrace.h and
-pass the return address pointer as the 'retp' argument to
-ftrace_push_return_trace().
