Since ftrace has trampolines, don't use thunks for the __fentry__ site but instead require that every function called from there includes accounting. This very much includes all the direct-call functions. Additionally, ftrace uses ROP tricks in two places: - return_to_handler(), and - ftrace_regs_caller() when pt_regs->orig_ax is set by a direct-call. return_to_handler() already uses a retpoline to replace an indirect-jump to defeat IBT, since this is a jump-type retpoline, make sure there is no accounting done and ALTERNATIVE the RET into a ret. ftrace_regs_caller() does much the same and gets the same treatment.

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 Restructured Text 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.
