In order to be able to use ftrace_regs even from features unrelated to
function tracer (e.g. kretprobe), expose ftrace_regs structures and
APIs even if the CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER=n.

I wonder if we should make things simpler with:

#if defined(HAVE_PT_REGS_COMPAT_FTRACE_REGS) || !defined(CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER)

And remove the ftrace_regs definitions that are copy-pastes of this
block in arch specific headers. Then we can enforce in a single point
that HAVE_PT_REGS_COMPAT_FTRACE_REGS holds.

Maybe that's a question for Steven ?

Here, the "HAVE_PT_REGS_COMPAT_FTRACE_REGS" does not mean that the
ftrace_regs is completely compatible with pt_regs, but on the memory
it wraps struct pt_regs (thus we can just cast the type).

- CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS
  ftrace_regs is completely compatible with pt_regs

- CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS
  |   ftrace_regs may not compatible with pt_regs
  |
  +- CONFIG_HAVE_PT_REGS_COMPAT_FTRACE_REGS
     but on memory image, ftrace_regs includes pt_regs.

Thank you,

But in practice I think that all architectures that chose to wrap a
pt_regs in their ftrace_regs also do:

+#define ftrace_regs_get_instruction_pointer(fregs) \
+       instruction_pointer(ftrace_get_regs(fregs))
+#define ftrace_regs_get_argument(fregs, n) \
+       regs_get_kernel_argument(ftrace_get_regs(fregs), n)
+#define ftrace_regs_get_stack_pointer(fregs) \
+       kernel_stack_pointer(ftrace_get_regs(fregs))
+#define ftrace_regs_return_value(fregs) \
+       regs_return_value(ftrace_get_regs(fregs))
+#define ftrace_regs_set_return_value(fregs, ret) \
+       regs_set_return_value(ftrace_get_regs(fregs), ret)
+#define ftrace_override_function_with_return(fregs) \
+       override_function_with_return(ftrace_get_regs(fregs))
+#define ftrace_regs_query_register_offset(name) \
+       regs_query_register_offset(name)

And are just careful to populate the fields that let these macros
work. So maybe these could be factorized... But anyway, I'm not
particularly a super fan of the idea and I don't think it should
necessarily fit in that series. It's just something that crossed my
mind, if you're not a fan then we should probably not do it ;)
