When enabling all-branch ftrace support (CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES)
the kernel gets really huge and some ftrace assembler functions like
mcount can't reach the ftrace helper functions which are written in C.
Avoid this problem of too distant branches by moving the ftrace C-helper
functions into the .text.hot section which is put in front of the
standard .text section by the linker.

Fix the FTRACE function tracer for 32- and 64-bit kernel.
The former code was horribly broken.
Reimplement most coding in assembly and utilize optimizations, e.g. put
mcount() and ftrace_stub() into one L1 cacheline.

Nothing sets function_trace_stop to disable function tracing anymore.
Remove the check for it in the arch code.

ftrace_stop() is going away as it disables parts of function tracing
that affects users that should not be affected. But ftrace_graph_stop()
is built on ftrace_stop(). Here's another example of killing all of
function tracing because something went wrong with function graph
tracing.
Instead of disabling all users of function tracing on function graph
error, disable only function graph tracing. To do this, the arch code
must call ftrace_graph_is_dead() before it implements function graph.

For people who otherwise get to write: cpu_clock(smp_processor_id()),
there is now: local_clock().
Also, as per suggestion from Andrew, provide some documentation on
the various clock interfaces, and minimize the unsigned long long vs
u64 mess.

This patch adds the ftrace debugging functionality to the parisc kernel.
It will currently only work with 64bit kernels, because the gcc options -pg
and -ffunction-sections can't be enabled at the same time and -ffunction-sections
is still needed to be able to link 32bit kernels.
