What's the need to do this on vmlinux.o rather than vmlinux? We have
all function syms?

An example instruction listing for the "after" case would be nice too.
Is this all ftrace stubs in the one place? And how do you deal with
kernel size exceeding the limit, if so?

This is cool.

This remains powerpc specific? Maybe add a PPC_ prefix to the config
option?
Bikeshed - should PFE be expanded to be consistent with the ARCH_
option?

Ah, we put something else in here. This is the offset to the
stub? Maybe call it pfe_stub_offset?

I don't understand what this is doing acutally (before this patch
even). We still emit one/two patchable intsructions at entry, so
why do we only need to adjust by zero/one instruction here?

Maybe put the ip = rec->ip; into an else case here.

Hmm, should you be using STACK_INT_FRAME_MARKER in a
non-INT_FRAME? I actually wanted to turn the int marker
into a 4 byte word and move it into a reserved space in
the frame too. Could it go in pt_regs somewhere?

Clever. Maybe a comment in ftrace_init_pfe_stub() that says to
keep that last instruction in synch with this?

Comment doesn't apply to this leg of the ifdef AFAIKS.
We load the original NIP into LR, and set CR0 for
livepatch branch.

Here is the crux of it all, we return here with a blr that matches
the return address of the bl which it was called with, so the CPU
can predict it.
I think it would be worth a comment here to explain why you go to
so much effort to add the case that uses LR here. Because the out
of line stub itself could pretty well have the same calling convention
as the original mcount.
Actually that's a thought too. Could you split this patch in two?
First just the patch to add the out of line call but use the same
calling convention as mprofile-kernel. Second which changes it to
use the balanced call/return. Would that be a lot of extra work?
