Fengguang Wu's zero day bot triggered a stack unwinder dump. This can
be easily triggered when CONFIG_FRAME_POINTERS is enabled and -mfentry
is in use on x86_32.
># cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
># echo 'p:schedule schedule' > kprobe_events
># echo stacktrace > events/kprobes/schedule/trigger
This is because the code that implemented fentry in the ftrace_regs_caller
tried to use the least amount of #ifdefs, and modified ebp when
CC_USE_FENTRY was defined to point to the parent ip as it does when
CC_USE_FENTRY is not defined. But when CONFIG_FRAME_POINTERS is set, it
corrupts the ebp register for this frame while doing the tracing.
NOTE, it does not corrupt ebp in any other way. It is just a bad frame
pointer when calling into the tracing infrastructure. The original ebp is
restored before returning from the fentry call. But if a stack trace is
performed inside the tracing, the unwinder will notice the bad ebp.
Instead of toying with ebp with CC_USING_FENTRY, just slap the parent ip
into the second parameter (%edx), and have an #else that does it the
original way.
The unwinder will unfortunately miss the function being traced, as the
stack frame is not set up yet for it, as it is for x86_64. But fixing that
is a bit more complex and did not work before anyway.
This has been tested with and without FRAME_POINTERS being set while using
-mfentry, as well as using an older compiler that uses mcount.

Currently ftrace_32.S and ftrace_64.S are compiled even when
CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER is not set. This means there's an unnecessary #ifdef
to protect the code. Instead of using preprocessor directives, only compile
those files when FUNCTION_TRACER is defined.

x86_64 has had fentry support for some time. I did not add support to x86_32
as I was unsure if it will be used much in the future. It is still very much
used, and there's issues with function graph tracing with gcc playing around
with the mcount frames, causing function graph to panic. The fentry code
does not have this issue, and is able to cope as there is no frame to mess
up.
Note, this only adds support for fentry when DYNAMIC_FTRACE is set. There's
really no reason to not have that set, because the performance of the
machine drops significantly when it's not enabled.
Keep !DYNAMIC_FTRACE around to test it off, as there's still some archs
that have FTRACE but not DYNAMIC_FTRACE.

When ftrace_regs_caller was created, it was designed to preserve flags as
much as possible as it needed to act just like a breakpoint triggered on the
same location. But the design is over complicated as it treated all
operations as modifying flags. But push, mov and lea do not modify flags.
This means the code can become more simplified by allowing flags to be
stored further down.
Making ftrace_regs_caller simpler will also be useful in implementing fentry
logic.

The function tracing hook code for ftrace is not an entry point from
userspace and does not belong in the entry_*.S files. It has already been
moved out of entry_64.S.
Move it out of entry_32.S into its own ftrace_32.S file.
