riscv: ftrace: Reduce the detour code size to half
Use a temporary register to reduce the size of detour code from 16 bytes to 8 bytes. The previous implementation is from 'commit afc76b8 ("riscv: Using PATCHABLE_FUNCTION_ENTRY instead of MCOUNT")'. Before the patch: <func_prolog>: 0: REG_S ra, -SZREG(sp) 4: auipc ra, ? 8: jalr ?(ra) 12: REG_L ra, -SZREG(sp) (func_boddy) After the patch: <func_prolog>: 0: auipc t0, ? 4: jalr t0, ?(t0) (func_boddy) This patch not just reduces the size of detour code, but also fixes an important issue: An Ftrace callback registered with FTRACE_OPS_FL_IPMODIFY flag can actually change the instruction pointer, e.g. to "replace" the given kernel function with a new one, which is needed for livepatching, etc. In this case, the trampoline (ftrace_regs_caller) would not return to <func_prolog+12> but would rather jump to the new function. So, "REG_L ra, -SZREG(sp)" would not run and the original return address would not be restored. The kernel is likely to hang or crash as a result. This can be easily demonstrated if one tries to "replace", say, cmdline_proc_show() with a new function with the same signature using instruction_pointer_set(&fregs->regs, new_func_addr) in the Ftrace callback.
