Nothing sets function_trace_stop to disable function tracing anymore.
Remove the check for it in the arch code.

Selftest for dynamic ftrace requres to pass address of the first
calling instruction because hash function is calculated from it.
ftrace_update_ftrace_func setups pointer to function which is called
in _mcount function. trace_selftest is not aware about instruction
size (for microblaze 8 - imm and addik) and that's why we have
to pass in r5 address of imm not addik which is in r15.12
For more info look at ftrace_ops_list_func/ftrace.c.

This patch add support for dynamic function graph tracer.
There is one my expactation that I can do flush_icache after
all code modification. On microblaze is this safer than do
flush for every entry. For icache is used name flush but
correct should be invalidation - this will be fix in upcomming
new cache implementaion and WB support.

With dynamic function tracer, by default, _mcount is defined as an
"empty" function, it returns directly without any more action. When
enabling it in user-space, it will jump to a real tracing
function(ftrace_caller), and do the real job for us.
Differ from the static function tracer, dynamic function tracer provides
two functions ftrace_make_call()/ftrace_make_nop() to enable/disable the
tracing of some indicated kernel functions(set_ftrace_filter).
In the kernel version, there is only one "_mcount" string for every
kernel function, so, we just need to match this one in mcount_regex of
scripts/recordmcount.pl.
For more information please look at code and Documentation/trace folder.
Steven ACK that scripts/recordmcount.pl part.

Implement MCOUNT_TEST in asm code - it is faster than use
generic code

If -pg of gcc is enabled with CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER=y. a calling to
_mcount will be inserted into each kernel function. so, there is a
possibility to trace the kernel functions in _mcount.
This patch add the specific _mcount support for static function
tracing. by default, ftrace_trace_function is initialized as
ftrace_stub(an empty function), so, the default _mcount will introduce
very little overhead. after enabling ftrace in user-space, it will jump
to a real tracing function and do static function tracing for us.
