Pointer to struct module is only relevant for ftrace records belonging to kernel modules. Having this field in dyn_arch_ftrace wastes memory for all ftrace records belonging to the kernel. Remove the same in favour of looking up the module from the ftrace record address, similar to other architectures.

Nice. I always hated that extra field.

It may look nicer to have:
#ifdef CONFIG_MODULES
static struct module *ftrace_lookup_module(struct dyn_ftrace *rec)
{
struct module *mod = NULL;
/*
* NOTE: __module_text_address() must be called with preemption

preempt_enable();
if (!mod)
pr_err("No module loaded at addr=%lx\n", rec->ip);
return mod;

You have CONFIG_MODULES here and in ftrace_lookup_module() above, which would always return NULL. Could you combine the above to be done in ftrace_lookup_module() so that there's no #ifdef CONFIG_MODULES here?
