Hi, Steve,

I think we have implemented CONFIG_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS in dynamic ftrace
in the [Patch3/9]. But, for non dynamic ftrace, it is hardly to
implement it. Because the LoongArch compiler gcc treats mount as a
really call, like 'call _mcount(__builtin_return_address(0))'. That
means, they decrease stack, save args to callee saved regs and may
do some optimization before calling mcount. It is difficult to find the
original args and apply changes from tracers.

Thanks,
Jinyang
