ftrace: Add sample with custom ops
When reworking core ftrace code or architectural ftrace code, it's often
necessary to test/analyse/benchmark a number of ftrace_ops
configurations. This patch adds a module which can be used to explore
some of those configurations.
I'm using this to benchmark various options for changing the way
trampolines and handling of ftrace_ops work on arm64, and ensuring other
architectures aren't adversely affected.
For example, in a QEMU+KVM VM running on a 2GHz Xeon E5-2660
workstation, loading the module in various configurations produces:
