Hi,
This has been on my list to review for a while. Given Masami's comments,
I was waiting for a new version -- is there any plan to respin this?
Otherwise, I have some comments below.

Where does this overhead matter?

Just to check, how is the kprobe addresss expected to relate to the
function address? For any of {mcount, mfentry, patchable-function-entry}
there are some number of instructions prior to the call instruction.
Does the user have to provide that address?
How does this work on other architectures?

The rest of the code seems to presume FTRACE_WITH_REGS, but you haven't
made that dependency explicit here.

I'm confused by what exactly this is meant to represent. At runtime our
rec->ip is always the BL, so what exactly is this attempting to account
for?
How does this work when using mcount rather than
patchable-function-entry?

What about when not using patchable-function-entry?
Why do we need to allow probing both?

This complexity worries me. Is it really necessary to allow kprobing on
either instruction?

If you're going to mess with the PC then you also need to adjust the
hardware single-step state machine.
