[PATCH] x86/ftrace: Don't bother preserving/restoring R10/R11

[Ard Biesheuvel <ardb+git@google.com>]

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>

The x86_64 calling convention specifies that R10 and R11 are
caller-save, and are not used to pass function arguments. Given that any
compiler optimizations that may deviate from this rule (e.g., -fipa-ra)
are disabled when profiling is enabled, R10 and R11 are dead when the
ftrace hook is called, and so there is no point in preserving and
restoring them.

Case in point: the code inadvertently never restored R11 to begin with
(added via [0] in 2012)
