Torsten Duwe 3b23e4991f arm64: implement ftrace with regs
This patch implements FTRACE_WITH_REGS for arm64, which allows a traced
function's arguments (and some other registers) to be captured into a
struct pt_regs, allowing these to be inspected and/or modified. This is
a building block for live-patching, where a function's arguments may be
forwarded to another function. This is also necessary to enable ftrace
and in-kernel pointer authentication at the same time, as it allows the
LR value to be captured and adjusted prior to signing.

Using GCC's -fpatchable-function-entry=N option, we can have the
compiler insert a configurable number of NOPs between the function entry
point and the usual prologue. This also ensures functions are AAPCS
compliant (e.g. disabling inter-procedural register allocation).

For example, with -fpatchable-function-entry=2, GCC 8.1.0 compiles the
following:

| unsigned long bar(void);
|
| unsigned long foo(void)
| {
|         return bar() + 1;
| }

... to:

| <foo>:
|         nop
|         nop
|         stp     x29, x30, [sp, #-16]!
|         mov     x29, sp
|         bl      0 <bar>
|         add     x0, x0, #0x1
|         ldp     x29, x30, [sp], #16
|         ret

This patch builds the kernel with -fpatchable-function-entry=2,
prefixing each function with two NOPs. To trace a function, we replace
these NOPs with a sequence that saves the LR into a GPR, then calls an
ftrace entry assembly function which saves this and other relevant
registers:

| mov	x9, x30
| bl	<ftrace-entry>

Since patchable functions are AAPCS compliant (and the kernel does not
use x18 as a platform register), x9-x18 can be safely clobbered in the
patched sequence and the ftrace entry code.

There are now two ftrace entry functions, ftrace_regs_entry (which saves
all GPRs), and ftrace_entry (which saves the bare minimum). A PLT is
allocated for each within modules.
