Michael, Greg,
Here is a version that applies on v4.9 and v4.11. These bits have been
moved under arch/powerpc/kernel/trace and as such needed adjustment to
apply to entry_64.S.

I couldn't test this as I get the below error trying to compile v4.9:
ld: arch/powerpc/boot/zImage.pseries: Not enough room for program headers, try linking with -N
ld: final link failed: Bad value

Michael,
Can you please help test this?


Thanks,
Naveen

[PATCH] powerpc/ftrace: Pass the correct stack pointer for DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS

For DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS, we should be passing-in the original set
of registers in pt_regs, to capture the state _before_ ftrace_caller.
However, we are instead passing the stack pointer *after* allocating a
stack frame in ftrace_caller. Fix this by saving the proper value of r1
in pt_regs. Also, use SAVE_10GPRS() to simplify the code.

Fixes: 153086644fd1 ("powerpc/ftrace: Add support for -mprofile-kernel ftrace ABI")
