We generally like to have as few #ifdef as possible, and I think the #ifdef CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER here is not needed.

Same here. It never hurts to have the CFLAGS_REMOVE_* statements here, since you will not want to build these files for profiling.

This one is clearly needed of course.

- Gcc with -pg will put the following code in the beginning of each function:
mov x0, x30
bl _mcount
- [function's body ...]
- "bl _mcount" may be replaced to "bl ftrace_caller" or NOP if dynamic
- ftrace is enabled.
Unrelated to your patch, I have run into problems with this on arm32, maybe someone on Cc to this mail has an idea what to do about it:
If I build a large "randconfig" kernel or "allyesconfig", the kernel image size exceeds 32MB, which means I can no longer link callers with a 26 bit signed immediate argument like the "bl _mcount" here. For any other function calls, "gcc -mlong-calls" can be used to work around this, but this particular instance is created by inserting assembly statements into the output without considering the long-call options. Is there a way to get the kernel to link anyway?
+#ifdef CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER
Here, again, you an remove the #ifdef by making the entire file built only for CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER.
