This allows us to use this in the kernel for ftrace purposes. A new script is added under arch/powerpc/tools/ to help detect if nops are emitted after the function local entry point, or before the global entry point. With -fpatchable-function-entry, we no longer have the profiling instructions generated at function entry, so we only need to validate the presence of two nops at the ftrace location in ftrace_init_nop(). We patch the preceding instruction with 'mflr r0' to match the -mprofile-kernel ABI for subsequent ftrace use. This changes the profiling instructions used on ppc32. The default -pg option emits an additional 'stw' instruction after 'mflr r0' and before the branch to _mcount 'bl _mcount'. This is very similar to the original -mprofile-kernel implementation on ppc64le, where an additional 'std' instruction was used to save LR to its save location in the caller's stackframe. Subsequently, this additional store was removed in later compiler versions for performance reasons. The same reasons apply for ppc32 so we only patch in a 'mflr r0'.
