For now, the "nop" will be replaced with a "call" instruction when a function is hooked by the ftrace. However, sometimes the "call" can break the RSB and introduce extra overhead. Therefore, introduce the flag FTRACE_OPS_FL_JMP, which indicate that the ftrace_ops should be called with a "jmp" instead of "call". For now, it is only used by the direct call case. When a direct ftrace_ops is marked with FTRACE_OPS_FL_JMP, the last bit of the ops->direct_call will be set to 1. Therefore, we can tell if we should use "jmp" for the callback in ftrace_call_replace().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
