This patch allows "dynamic ftrace" if CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE is enabled. Here we can turn on and off tracing dynamically per-function base.
On arm64, this is done by patching single branch instruction to _mcount() inserted by gcc -pg option. The branch is replaced to NOP initially at kernel start up, and later on, NOP to branch to ftrace_caller() when enabled or branch to NOP when disabled. Please note that ftrace_caller() is a counterpart of _mcount() in case of 'static' ftrace.
More details on architecture specific requirements are described in Documentation/trace/ftrace-design.txt.

You could just as easily implement this as a dummy macro, but I guess it doesn't matter either way.

Judging by your comment then, this should never be called. Is that right? If so, we could add a BUG-equivalent so we know if we missed an mcount during patching.

u32 is a bit clearer for instructions.

I think you're better off propagating the errors here, rather than overriding them with EFAULT/EINVAL/EPERM.

You could rewrite this as:
if (enable) return ftrace_modify_code(pc, nop, branch, true); else return ftrace_modify_code(pc, branch, nop, true);
which I find easier to read.
