This looks sane to me, although I'm surprised that we didn't already have an annotation for the nonstandard stack frame for asm files. That probably would be cleaner in a separate commit, but I guess it doesn't matter.
Anyway, I'm willing to consider the entry code version if it looks a _lot_ simpler than this (so I'd like to see them side-by-side), but it's not like this looks all that complicated to me either.
So I posted one earlier today:
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190501131117.GW2623@hirez.programming.kicks-ass....
it's about a 1/3rd the number of lines and has 32bit support. It also provides all the bits required to implement static_call().
That's the patch I started with.
That is; I think I'm firmly in favour of the entry variant -- provided it actually works of course.
And it works. I ran it through tools/testing/selftests/ftrace/ftracetest and it passed as good as without that patch.
I haven't ran it through my full test suite. I can do that and see how it makes out.
