So here is a slightly updated FTRACE_WITH_REGS plus live patching.
Reminder: make sure you have a prolog-pad gcc, and this in your
top level Makefile:

ifdef CONFIG_LIVEPATCH
KBUILD_CFLAGS	+= $(call cc-option,-fno-ipa-ra)
endif

Tested with v4.7-rc3 + gcc-6.1

Changes since v1:
  * instead of a comment "should be CC_USING_PROLOG_PAD":
    do it. CC_FLAGS_FTRACE holds it now, and the IPA
    disabler has become a separate issue (see above).
