Subject[RFC 0/4] arm64: add livepatch support
Date
This patchset enables livepatch support on arm64.

Livepatch was merged in v4.0, and allows replacying a function dynamically
based on ftrace framework, but it also requires -mfentry option of gcc.
Currently arm64 gcc doesn't support it, but by adding a helper function to
ftrace, we will be able to support livepatch on arch's which don't support
this option.

I submit this patchset as RFC since I'm not quite sure that I'm doing
in the right way, or we should definitely support -fentry instead.

Please note that I tested the feature only with livepatch-sample, and
the code for DYNAMIC_TRACE_WITH_REGS is still rough-edged.
