ftrace/x86: Have arch x86_64 use breakpoints instead of stop machine
This method changes x86 to add a breakpoint to the mcount locations instead of calling stop machine. Now that iret can be handled by NMIs, we perform the following to update code: 1) Add a breakpoint to all locations that will be modified 2) Sync all cores 3) Update all locations to be either a nop or call (except breakpoint op) 4) Sync all cores 5) Remove the breakpoint with the new code. 6) Sync all cores [ Added updates that Masami suggested: Use unlikely(modifying_ftrace_code) in int3 trap to keep kprobes efficient. Don't use NOTIFY_* in ftrace handler in int3 as it is not a notifier. ] Cc: H.
