Implement support for DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_CALL_OPS similar to the arm64 implementation. This works by patching-in a pointer to an associated ftrace_ops structure before each traceable function. If multiple ftrace_ops are associated with a call site, then a special ftrace_list_ops is used to enable iterating over all the registered ftrace_ops. If no ftrace_ops are associated with a call site, then a special ftrace_nop_ops structure is used to render the ftrace call as a no-op. ftrace trampoline can then read the associated ftrace_ops for a call site by loading from an offset from the LR, and branch directly to the associated function. The primary advantage with this approach is that we don't have to iterate over all the registered ftrace_ops for call sites that have a single ftrace_ops registered. This is the equivalent of implementing support for dynamic ftrace trampolines, which set up a special ftrace trampoline for each registered ftrace_ops and have individual call sites branch into those directly. A secondary advantage is that this gives us a way to add support for direct ftrace callers without having to resort to using stubs. The address of the direct call trampoline can be loaded from the ftrace_ops structure. To support this, we reserve a nop before each function on 32-bit powerpc. For 64-bit powerpc, two nops are reserved before each out-of-line stub. During ftrace activation, we update this location with the associated ftrace_ops pointer. Then, on ftrace entry, we load from this location and call into ftrace_ops->func(). For 64-bit powerpc, we ensure that the out-of-line stub area is doubleword aligned so that ftrace_ops address can be updated atomically.

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.
