Arnd reported the following compiler warning: arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.c:669:23: error: 'ftrace_jmp_replace' defined but not used [-Werror=unused-function] The ftrace_jmp_replace() function now only has a single user and should be simply moved by that user. But looking at the code, it shows that ftrace_jmp_replace() is similar to ftrace_call_replace() except that instead of using the opcode of 0xe8 it uses 0xe9. It makes more sense to consolidate that function into one implementation that both ftrace_jmp_replace() and ftrace_call_replace() use by passing in the op code separate. The structure in ftrace_code_union is also modified to replace the "e8" field with the more appropriate name "op".

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.
