Select the HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_DIRECT_CALLS to provide the
register_ftrace_direct[_multi] interfaces allowing users to register
the customed trampoline (direct_caller) as the mcount for one or more
target functions. And modify_ftrace_direct[_multi] are also provided
for modifying direct_caller.
There are a few cases to distinguish:
- If a direct call ops is the only one tracing a function AND the direct
called trampoline is within the reach of a 'bl' instruction
-> the ftrace patchsite jumps to the trampoline
- Else
-> the ftrace patchsite jumps to the ftrace_regs_caller trampoline points
to ftrace_list_ops so it iterates over all registered ftrace ops,
including the direct call ops and calls its call_direct_funcs handler
which stores the direct called trampoline's address in the ftrace_regs
and the ftrace_regs_caller trampoline will return to that address
instead of returning to the traced function

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.
