+/*
+ * gcc -pg option adds a call to 'mcount' in most functions.
+ * When -mfentry is used, the call is to 'fentry' and not 'mcount'
+ * and is done before the function's stack frame is set up.
+ * They both require a set of regs to be saved before calling
+ * any C code and restored before returning back to the function.
+ *
+ * On boot up, all these calls are converted into nops. When tracing
+ * is enabled, the call can jump to either ftrace_caller or
+ * ftrace_regs_caller. Callbacks (tracing functions) that require
+ * ftrace_regs_caller (like kprobes) need to have pt_regs passed to
+ * it. For this reason, the size of the pt_regs structure will be
+ * allocated on the stack and the required mcount registers will
+ * be saved in the locations that pt_regs has them in.
