riscv: Using PATCHABLE_FUNCTION_ENTRY instead of MCOUNT
This patch changes the current detour mechanism of dynamic ftrace which has been discussed during LPC 2020 RISCV-MC [1]. Before the patch, we used mcount for detour: <funca>: addi sp,sp,-16 sd ra,8(sp) sd s0,0(sp) addi s0,sp,16 mv a5,ra mv a0,a5 auipc ra,0x0 -> nop jalr -296(ra) <_mcount@plt> ->nop ... After the patch, we use nop call site area for detour: <funca>: nop -> REG_S ra, -SZREG(sp) nop -> auipc ra, 0x? nop -> jalr ?(ra) nop -> REG_L ra, -SZREG(sp) ... The mcount mechanism is mixed with gcc function prologue which is not very clear. The patchable function entry just put 16 bytes nop before the front of the function prologue which could be filled with a separated detour mechanism.
