arm64: Add ftrace support
This patch implements arm64 specific part to support function tracers,
such as function (CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER), function_graph
(CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER) and function profiler
(CONFIG_FUNCTION_PROFILER).
With 'function' tracer, all the functions in the kernel are traced with
timestamps in ${sysfs}/tracing/trace. If function_graph tracer is
specified, call graph is generated.
The kernel must be compiled with -pg option so that _mcount() is inserted
at the beginning of functions. This function is called on every function's
entry as long as tracing is enabled.
In addition, function_graph tracer also needs to be able to probe function's
exit. ftrace_graph_caller() & return_to_handler do this by faking link
register's value to intercept function's return path.
More details on architecture specific requirements are described in
Documentation/trace/ftrace-design.txt.
