All supported compilers today (gcc v5.1+ and clang v11+) have support for
-mcmodel=medium. As such, NO_MINIMAL_TOC is no longer being set. Remove
NO_MINIMAL_TOC as well as the fallback to -mminimal-toc.

arch/powerpc/lib/xor_vmx.o is built with '-msoft-float' (from the main
powerpc Makefile) and '-maltivec' (from its CFLAGS), which causes an
error when building with clang after a recent change in main:
error: option '-msoft-float' cannot be specified with '-maltivec'
make[6]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:243: arch/powerpc/lib/xor_vmx.o] Error 1
Explicitly add '-mhard-float' before '-maltivec' in xor_vmx.o's CFLAGS
to override the previous inclusion of '-msoft-float' (as the last option
wins), which matches how other areas of the kernel use '-maltivec', such
as AMDGPU.

crtsavres.o is linked to modules. However, as explained in commit
d0e628cd817f ("kbuild: doc: clarify the difference between extra-y
and always-y"), 'make modules' does not build extra-y.

The only callers of zalloc_maybe_bootmem() are PCI setup routines. These
used to be called early during boot before slab setup, and also during
runtime due to hotplug.
But commit 5537fcb319d0 ("powerpc/pci: Add ppc_md.discover_phbs()")
moved the boot-time calls later, after slab setup, meaning there's no
longer any need for zalloc_maybe_bootmem(), kzalloc() can be used in all
cases.

Add a powerpc specific implementation of queued spinlocks. This is the
build framework with a very simple (non-queued) spinlock implementation
to begin with. Later changes add queueing, and other features and
optimisations one-at-a-time. It is done this way to more easily see how
the queued spinlocks are built, and to make performance and correctness
bisects more useful.

Disable address sanitization for raw and non-maskable interrupt
handlers, because they can run in real mode, where we cannot access
the shadow memory. (Note that kasan_arch_is_ready() doesn't test for
real mode, since it is a static branch for speed, and in any case not
all the entry points to the generic KASAN code are protected by
kasan_arch_is_ready guards.)
The changes to interrupt_nmi_enter/exit_prepare() look larger than
they actually are. The changes are equivalent to adding
!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KASAN) to the conditions for calling nmi_enter() or
nmi_exit() in real mode. That is, the code is equivalent to using the
following condition for calling nmi_enter/exit:
if (((!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S_64) ||
!firmware_has_feature(FW_FEATURE_LPAR) ||
radix_enabled()) &&
!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KASAN) ||
(mfmsr() & MSR_DR))
That unwieldy condition has been split into several statements with
comments, for easier reading.
The nmi_ipi_lock functions that call atomic functions (i.e.,
nmi_ipi_lock_start(), nmi_ipi_lock() and nmi_ipi_unlock()), besides
being marked noinstr, now call arch_atomic_* functions instead of
atomic_* functions because with KASAN enabled, the atomic_* functions
are wrappers which explicitly do address sanitization on their
arguments. Since we are trying to avoid address sanitization, we have
to use the lower-level arch_atomic_* versions.
In hv_nmi_check_nonrecoverable(), the regs_set_unrecoverable() call
has been open-coded so as to avoid having to either trust the inlining
or mark regs_set_unrecoverable() as noinstr.

Boot fails with GCC latent entropy plugin enabled.
This is due to early boot functions trying to access 'latent_entropy'
global data while the kernel is not relocated at its final
destination yet.
As there is no way to tell GCC to use PTRRELOC() to access it,
disable latent entropy plugin in early_32.o and feature-fixups.o and

Commit 9b69d48c7516 ("powerpc/64e: remove implicit soft-masking and
interrupt exit restart logic") limited the implicit soft masking and
restart logic to 64-bit Book3S only. However we are still building
restart_table.c for all 64-bit, ie. Book3E also.
There's no need to build it for 64e, and it also causes missing
prototype warnings for 64e builds, because the prototype is already
behind an #ifdef PPC_BOOK3S_64.

The exception table fixup adjusts a failed page fault's interrupt return
location if it was taken at an address specified in the exception table,
to a corresponding fixup handler address.
Introduce a variation of that idea which adds a fixup table for NMIs and
soft-masked asynchronous interrupts. This will be used to protect
certain critical sections that are sensitive to being clobbered by
interrupts coming in (due to using the same SPRs and/or irq soft-mask
state).

Commit 7c95d8893fb5 ("powerpc: Change calling convention for
create_branch() et. al.") complexified the frame of function
do_feature_fixups(), leading to GCC setting up a stack
guard when CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR is selected.
The problem is that do_feature_fixups() is called very early
while 'current' in r2 is not set up yet and the code is still
not at the final address used at link time.
So, like other instrumentation, stack protection needs to be
deactivated for feature-fixups.c and code-patching.c

When probe_kernel_read_inst() was created, there was no good place to
put it, so a file called lib/inst.c was dedicated for it.
Since then, probe_kernel_read_inst() has been renamed
copy_inst_from_kernel_nofault(). And mm/maccess.h didn't exist at that
time. Today, mm/maccess.h is related to copy_from_kernel_nofault().

Commit ccbef1674a15 ("Kbuild, lto: add ld-version and ld-ifversion
macros") introduced scripts/ld-version.sh for GCC LTO.
At that time, this script handled 5 version fields because GCC LTO
needed the downstream binutils. (https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/8/272)
The code snippet from the submitted patch was as follows:
# We need HJ Lu's Linux binutils because mainline binutils does not
# support mixing assembler and LTO code in the same ld -r object.
# XXX check if the gcc plugin ld is the expected one too
# XXX some Fedora binutils should also support it. How to check for that?
ifeq ($(call ld-ifversion,-ge,22710001,y),y)
...
However, GCC LTO was not merged into the mainline after all.
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/8/272)
So, the 4th and 5th fields were never used, and finally removed by
commit 0d61ed17dd30 ("ld-version: Drop the 4th and 5th version
components").
Since then, the last 4-digits returned by this script is always zeros.
Remove the meaningless last 4-digits. This makes the version format
consistent with GCC_VERSION, CLANG_VERSION, LLD_VERSION.

In reaction to a proposal to introduce a memcpy_mcsafe_fast()
implementation Linus points out that memcpy_mcsafe() is poorly named
relative to communicating the scope of the interface. Specifically what
addresses are valid to pass as source, destination, and what faults /
exceptions are handled.
Of particular concern is that even though x86 might be able to handle
the semantics of copy_mc_to_user() with its common copy_user_generic()
implementation other archs likely need / want an explicit path for this
case:

Replace a single top-level memcpy_mcsafe() with either
copy_mc_to_user(), or copy_mc_to_kernel().
Introduce an x86 copy_mc_fragile() name as the rename for the
low-level x86 implementation formerly named memcpy_mcsafe(). It is used
as the slow / careful backend that is supplanted by a fast
copy_mc_generic() in a follow-on patch.
One side-effect of this reorganization is that separating copy_mc_64.S
to its own file means that perf no longer needs to track dependencies
for its memcpy_64.S benchmarks.

These have shown significantly improved performance and fairness when
spinlock contention is moderate to high on very large systems.
With this series including subsequent patches, on a 16 socket 1536
thread POWER9, a stress test such as same-file open/close from all
CPUs gets big speedups, 11620op/s aggregate with simple spinlocks vs
384158op/s (33x faster), where the difference in throughput between
the fastest and slowest thread goes from 7x to 1.4x.
Thanks to the fast path being identical in terms of atomics and
barriers (after a subsequent optimisation patch), single threaded
performance is not changed (no measurable difference).
On smaller systems, performance and fairness seems to be generally
improved. Using dbench on tmpfs as a test (that starts to run into
kernel spinlock contention), a 2-socket OpenPOWER POWER9 system was
tested with bare metal and KVM guest configurations. Results can be
found here:
https://github.com/linuxppc/issues/issues/305#issuecomment-663487453
Observations are:
- Queued spinlocks are equal when contention is insignificant, as
expected and as measured with microbenchmarks.
- When there is contention, on bare metal queued spinlocks have better
throughput and max latency at all points.
- When virtualised, queued spinlocks are slightly worse approaching
peak throughput, but significantly better throughput and max latency
at all points beyond peak, until queued spinlock maximum latency
rises when clients are 2x vCPUs.
The regressions haven't been analysed very well yet, there are a lot
of things that can be tuned, particularly the paravirtualised locking,
but the numbers already look like a good net win even on relatively
small systems.

The pmem infrastructure uses memcpy_mcsafe in the pmem layer so as to
convert machine check exceptions into a return value on failure in case
a machine check exception is encountered during the memcpy. The return
value is the number of bytes remaining to be copied.
This patch largely borrows from the copyuser_power7 logic and does not add
the VMX optimizations, largely to keep the patch simple. If needed those
optimizations can be folded in.

CONFIG_KASAN implements wrappers for memcpy() memmove() and memset()
Those wrappers are doing the verification then call respectively
__memcpy() __memmove() and __memset(). The arches are therefore
expected to rename their optimised functions that way.
For files on which KASAN is inhibited, #defines are used to allow
them to directly call optimised versions of the functions without
going through the KASAN wrappers.
See commit 393f203f5fd5 ("x86_64: kasan: add interceptors for
memset/memmove/memcpy functions") for details.
Other string / mem functions do not (yet) have kasan wrappers,
we therefore have to fallback to the generic versions when
KASAN is active, otherwise KASAN checks will be skipped.

This enhances the current selftest framework for validating
the in-kernel instruction emulation infrastructure by adding
support for compute type instructions i.e. integer ALU-based
instructions. Originally, this framework was limited to only
testing load and store instructions.
While most of the GPRs can be validated, support for SPRs is
limited to LR, CR and XER for now.
When writing the test cases, one must ensure that the Stack
Pointer (GPR1) or the Thread Pointer (GPR13) are not touched
by any means as these are vital non-volatile registers.

Back when I added -Werror in commit ba55bd74360e ("powerpc: Add

of the arch Makefiles.
At the time we excluded math-emu, because apparently it didn't build
cleanly. But that seems to have been fixed somewhere in the interim.
So move the -Werror addition to the top-level of the arch, this saves
us from repeating it in every Makefile and means we won't forget to
add it to any new sub-dirs.

The generic implementation of strlen() reads strings byte per byte.
This patch implements strlen() in assembly based on a read of entire
words, in the same spirit as what some other arches and glibc do.
On a 8xx the time spent in strlen is reduced by 3/4 for long strings.
strlen() selftest on an 8xx provides the following values:
Before the patch (ie with the generic strlen() in lib/string.c):
len 256 : time = 1.195055
len 016 : time = 0.083745
len 008 : time = 0.046828
len 004 : time = 0.028390
After the patch:
len 256 : time = 0.272185 ==> 78% improvment
len 016 : time = 0.040632 ==> 51% improvment
len 008 : time = 0.033060 ==> 29% improvment
len 004 : time = 0.029149 ==> 2% degradation
On a 832x:
Before the patch:
len 256 : time = 0.236125
len 016 : time = 0.018136
len 008 : time = 0.011000
len 004 : time = 0.007229
After the patch:
len 256 : time = 0.094950 ==> 60% improvment
len 016 : time = 0.013357 ==> 26% improvment
len 008 : time = 0.010586 ==> 4% improvment

At the time being, memcmp() compares two chunks of memory
byte per byte.
This patch optimises the comparison by comparing word by word.
On the same way as commit 15c2d45d17418 ("powerpc: Add 64bit
optimised memcmp"), this patch moves memcmp() into a dedicated
file named memcmp_32.S
A small benchmark performed on an 8xx comparing two chuncks
of 512 bytes performed 100000 times gives:
Before : 5852274 TB ticks
After: 1488638 TB ticks

Rewrite clear_user() on the same principle as memset(0), making use
of dcbz to clear complete cache lines.
This code is a copy/paste of memset(), with some modifications
in order to retrieve remaining number of bytes to be cleared,
as it needs to be returned in case of error.
On the same way as done on PPC64 in commit 17968fbbd19f1
("powerpc: 64bit optimised __clear_user"), the patch moves
__clear_user() into a dedicated file string_32.S
On a MPC885, throughput is almost doubled:
Before:
~# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=1M count=1000
1048576000 bytes (1000.0MB) copied, 18.990779 seconds, 52.7MB/s
After:
~# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=1M count=1000
1048576000 bytes (1000.0MB) copied, 9.611468 seconds, 104.0MB/s
On a MPC8321, throughput is multiplied by 2.12:
Before:

1048576000 bytes (1000.0MB) copied, 6.844352 seconds, 146.1MB/s

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
"A bit of a small release, I suspect in part due to me travelling for
KS. But my backlog of patches to review is smaller than usual, so I
think in part folks just didn't send as much this cycle.
Non-highlights:
- Five fixes for the >128T address space handling, both to fix bugs
in our implementation and to bring the semantics exactly into line
with x86.
Highlights:
- Support for a new OPAL call on bare metal machines which gives us a
true NMI (ie. is not masked by MSR[EE]=0) for debugging etc.
- Support for Power9 DD2 in the CXL driver.
- Improvements to machine check handling so that uncorrectable errors
can be reported into the generic memory_failure() machinery.
- Some fixes and improvements for VPHN, which is used under PowerVM
to notify the Linux partition of topology changes.
- Plumbing to enable TM (transactional memory) without suspend on
some Power9 processors (PPC_FEATURE2_HTM_NO_SUSPEND).
- Support for emulating vector loads form cache-inhibited memory, on
some Power9 revisions.
- Disable the fast-endian switch "syscall" by default (behind a
CONFIG), we believe it has never had any users.
- A major rework of the API drivers use when initiating and waiting
for long running operations performed by OPAL firmware, and changes
to the powernv_flash driver to use the new API.
- Several fixes for the handling of FP/VMX/VSX while processes are
using transactional memory.
- Optimisations of TLB range flushes when using the radix MMU on
Power9.
- Improvements to the VAS facility used to access coprocessors on
Power9, and related improvements to the way the NX crypto driver
handles requests.
- Implementation of PMEM_API and UACCESS_FLUSHCACHE for 64-bit.

Implement the architecture specific cache maintence functions that make
up the "PMEM API". Currently the writeback and invalidate functions
are the same since the function of the DCBST (data cache block store)
instruction is typically interpreted as "writeback to the point of
coherency" rather than to memory. As a result implementing the API
requires a full cache flush rather than just a cache write back. This
will probably change in the not-too-distant future.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

This replaces almost all of the instruction emulation code in
fix_alignment() with calls to analyse_instr(), emulate_loadstore()
and emulate_dcbz(). The only emulation code left is the SPE
emulation code; analyse_instr() etc. do not handle SPE instructions
at present.
One result of this is that we can now handle alignment faults on
all the new VSX load and store instructions that were added in POWER9.
VSX loads/stores will take alignment faults for unaligned accesses
to cache-inhibited memory.
Another effect is that we no longer rely on the DAR and DSISR values
set by the processor.
With this, we now need to include the instruction emulation code
unconditionally.

This extends the instruction emulation infrastructure in sstep.c to
handle all the load and store instructions defined in the Power ISA
v3.0, except for the atomic memory operations, ldmx (which was never
implemented), lfdp/stfdp, and the vector element load/stores.
The instructions added are:
Integer loads and stores: lbarx, lharx, lqarx, stbcx., sthcx., stqcx.,
lq, stq.
VSX loads and stores: lxsiwzx, lxsiwax, stxsiwx, lxvx, lxvl, lxvll,
lxvdsx, lxvwsx, stxvx, stxvl, stxvll, lxsspx, lxsdx, stxsspx, stxsdx,
lxvw4x, lxsibzx, lxvh8x, lxsihzx, lxvb16x, stxvw4x, stxsibx, stxvh8x,
stxsihx, stxvb16x, lxsd, lxssp, lxv, stxsd, stxssp, stxv.
These instructions are handled both in the analyse_instr phase and in
the emulate_step phase.
The code for lxvd2ux and stxvd2ux has been taken out, as those
instructions were never implemented in any processor and have been
taken out of the architecture, and their opcodes have been reused for
other instructions in POWER9 (lxvb16x and stxvb16x).
The emulation for the VSX loads and stores uses helper functions
which don't access registers or memory directly, which can hopefully
be reused by KVM later.

altivec is enabled to run the operation and then disabled.
The code uses enable_kernel_altivec() around the core of the algorithm, however
the whole file is built with -maltivec, so the compiler is within its rights to

This patch splits the non-altivec code into xor_vmx_glue.c which calls the
altivec functions in xor_vmx.c. By compiling xor_vmx_glue.c without
-maltivec we can guarantee that altivec instruction will not be executed
outside of the enable/disable block.

For final link, the powerpc64 linker generates fpr save/restore
functions on-demand, placing them in the .sfpr section. Starting with
binutils 2.25, these can be provided for non-final links with
--save-restore-funcs. Use that where possible for module links.
This saves about 200 bytes per module (~60kB) on powernv defconfig
build.

The 64-bit linker creates save/restore functions on demand with final
links, so vmlinux does not require crtsavres.o.
Make crtsavres.o extra-y on 64-bit (it is still required by modules).

Add new selftest that test emulate_step for Normal, Floating Point,
Vector and Vector Scalar - load/store instructions. Test should run
at boot time if CONFIG_KPROBES_SANITY_TEST and CONFIG_PPC64 is set.
Sample log:
emulate_step_test: ld : PASS
emulate_step_test: lwz : PASS
emulate_step_test: lwzx : PASS
emulate_step_test: std : PASS
emulate_step_test: ldarx / stdcx. : PASS

Currently we have optimized hand-coded assembly checksum routines for
big-endian 64-bit systems, but for little-endian we use the generic C
routines. This modifies the optimized routines to work for
little-endian. With this, we no longer need to enable
CONFIG_GENERIC_CSUM. This also fixes a couple of comments in
checksum_64.S so they accurately reflect what the associated instruction
does.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild
Pull kbuild updates from Michal Marek:
- EXPORT_SYMBOL for asm source by Al Viro.
This does bring a regression, because genksyms no longer generates
checksums for these symbols (CONFIG_MODVERSIONS). Nick Piggin is
working on a patch to fix this.
Plus, we are talking about functions like strcpy(), which rarely
change prototypes.
- Fixes for PPC fallout of the above by Stephen Rothwell and Nick
Piggin
- fixdep speedup by Alexey Dobriyan.
- preparatory work by Nick Piggin to allow architectures to build with
-ffunction-sections, -fdata-sections and --gc-sections
- CONFIG_THIN_ARCHIVES support by Stephen Rothwell
- fix for filenames with colons in the initramfs source by me.

Commit 2578bfae84a7 ("[POWERPC] Create and use CONFIG_WORD_SIZE") added
CONFIG_WORD_SIZE, and suggests that other arches were going to do
likewise.
But that never happened, powerpc is the only architecture which uses it.
So switch to using a simple make variable, BITS, like x86, sh, sparc and
tile. It is also easier to spell and simpler, avoiding any confusion
about whether it's defined due to ordering of make vs kconfig.

Rather than open-coding -pg whereever we want to disable ftrace, use the
existing $(CC_FLAGS_FTRACE) variable.
This has the advantage that it will work in future when we use a
different set of flags to enable ftrace.
