We are restricted to a .text size of ~32MB when using out-of-line function profile sequence. Allow this to be extended up to the previous limit of ~64MB by reserving space in the middle of .text. A new config option CONFIG_PPC_FTRACE_OUT_OF_LINE_NUM_RESERVE is introduced to specify the number of function stubs that are reserved in .text. On boot, ftrace utilizes stubs from this area first before using the stub area at the end of .text. A ppc64le defconfig has ~44k functions that can be traced. A more conservative value of 32k functions is chosen as the default value of PPC_FTRACE_OUT_OF_LINE_NUM_RESERVE so that we do not allot more space than necessary by default. If building a kernel that only has 32k trace-able functions, we won't allot any more space at the end of .text during the pass on vmlinux.o. Otherwise, only the remaining functions get space for stubs at the end of .text. This default value should help cover a .text size of ~48MB in total (including space reserved at the end of .text which can cover up to 32MB), which should be sufficient for most common builds. For a very small kernel build, this can be set to 0. Or, this can be bumped up to a larger value to support vmlinux .text size up to ~64MB.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
