Subject[for-next][PATCH 10/12] ftrace/sh: Add arch_ftrace_ops_list_func stub to have compressed image still link
From: "linux-sh@vger.kernel.org" <linux-sh@vger.kernel.org>

Using the linker script to fix an issue where some archs call the
function tracer with just the ip (instruction pointer) and pip (parent
instruction pointer) where as more up to date archs also pass in the
associated ftrace_ops and the ftrace_regs pointer, the generic code
will be called either with two parameters or four. To avoid any C
undefined behavior of calling two parameters to four or four to two
parameter function, two functions are created, where a preprocessor
macro uses the one that matches the architecture. As the function
pointers for them may be different, a typecast is used. But this
triggers issues with newer compilers that will fail due to -Werror.

A linker trick is now used to map the generic function to the function
that is used (note the generic function is only used to set the default
function callback). The linker trick defines ftrace_ops_list_func (the
generic function) to arch_ftrace_ops_list_func (the arch defined one).

But this fails sh arch because their linker script is included in their
compressed image that does not define arch_ftrace_ops_list_func at all

sh4-linux-ld:arch/sh/boot/compressed/../../kernel/vmlinux.lds:32: undefined symbol `arch_ftrace_ops_list_func' referenced in expression

Included a stub by that name in the misc.c to allow the code to
compile and link, even though it's not used.

This is similar to what was done for ftrace_stub:

b83b43ffc6e4b ("fgraph: Fix function type mismatches of
ftrace_graph_return using ftrace_stub")
