Implementing live patching on s390 requires each function's prologue to contain a very special kind of nop, which gcc and clang don't generate. However, the current code assumes that if CC_USING_NOP_MCOUNT is defined, then whatever the compiler generates is good enough. Move the CC_USING_NOP_MCOUNT check into the new ftrace_need_init_nop() macro, that the architectures can override. An alternative solution is to disable using -mnop-mcount in the Makefile, however, this makes the build logic (even) more complicated and forces the arch-specific code to deal with the useless __fentry__ symbol.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
