Would this code be simpler if we nuked the ftrace_epilogue altogether?
After commit 0c0593b45c9b ("x86/ftrace: Make function graph use ftrace directly"), the ftrace_epilogue is no longer needed. That was there to make sure all the trampolines would call the function graph tracer. But now that function graph tracing is just another ftrace caller, it's not needed anymore.
Something like the below. It booted and passed the ftrace kselftests.
Feel free to include this in your series.

The jumps to ftrace_epilogue were done as a way to make sure all the function tracing trampolines ended at the function graph trampoline, as the ftrace_epilogue was the location that it would handle that.
With the advent of function graph tracer now being just one of the callbacks of the function tracer there is no more requirement that all trampolines go to a single location.
Remove the jumps to the ftrace_epilogue and replace them with return statements.
Note, the ftrace_epilogue can probably be renamed to ftrace_stub and the weak logic for that could probably be removed. But lets leave that as a separate change.
