Ard Biesheuvel c241cfd0a5 ARM: ftrace: avoid redundant loads or clobbering IP
[ Upstream commit d119678708 ]

Tweak the ftrace return paths to avoid redundant loads of SP, as well as
unnecessary clobbering of IP.

This also fixes the inconsistency of using MOV to perform a function
return, which is sub-optimal on recent micro-architectures but more
importantly, does not perform an interworking return, unlike compiler
generated function returns in Thumb2 builds.

Let's fix this by popping PC from the stack like most ordinary code
does.

README

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.
