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().
