In subsequent patches we'll arrange for architectures to have an
ftrace_regs which is entirely distinct from pt_regs. In preparation for
this, we need to minimize the use of pt_regs to where strictly necessary
in the core ftrace code.
This patch adds new ftrace_regs_{get,set}_*() helpers which can be used
to manipulate ftrace_regs. When CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS=y,
these can always be used on any ftrace_regs, and when
CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS=n these can be used when regs are
available. A new ftrace_regs_has_args(fregs) helper is added which code
can use to check when these are usable.

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.
