This patchset enables and implements objtool --mcount
option on powerpc. This applies atop powerpc/merge branch.

Changelog:

----
v4:

* Patch 11/16 - Introduce a new config option
		CONFIG_HAVE_OBJTOOL_NOP_MCOUNT as a means for
		architectures to enable nop'ing ftrace locations.

	      - Remove Acked-by tag from Peter Zijlstra (Intel),
		and Reviewed-by tag from Christophe Leroy. 
		[This is done because I reworked the patch to add
		a new config option to objtool. Please let me know
		if you want me to retain the tags. Thanks!]

* Patch 16/16 - Rework the patch to handle only 'bl' instruction
		decoding.

With changes to the two patches in this series that I have described, 
and with my patch to have ftrace ignore weak symbols (*) applied, I 
built a ppc64le config.

(*) http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220809105425.424045-1-naveen.n.rao@linux.vnet.ibm.com

I then used the below diff to disable objtool and to build with 
recordmcount:

diff --git a/arch/powerpc/Kconfig b/arch/powerpc/Kconfig
index 7e28a8fd4c24fa..81c9f895d69012 100644

        select HAVE_OPTPROBES

        select HAVE_PERF_EVENTS
        select HAVE_PERF_EVENTS_NMI             if PPC64
        select HAVE_PERF_REGS

Comparing available_filter_functions across the two builds showed the 
below differences:
  $ diff ftrace_funcs_recordmcount_20221010.sort.out ftrace_funcs_objtool_20221010.sort.out

  > ns_capable_common.part.0

All the above changes are down to compiler optimizations and shuffling 
due to CONFIG_OBJTOOL being enabled and changing annotate_unreachable().

As such, for this series:

Josh,
Are you ok if this series is taken in through the powerpc tree?

The testing looked good, so:

Thanks!

FYI: your previous reply (that you would be testing it) didn't hit my 
inbox and it doesn't seem to have hit the list either.
