Merge patch series "riscv: ftrace: atmoic patching and preempt improvements"

Andy Chiu <andybnac@gmail.com> says:

This series makes atomic code patching in ftrace possible and eliminates
the need of the stop_machine dance. The major difference of this version
is that we merge the CALL_OPS support from Puranjay [1] and make direct
calls available for practical uses such as BPF. Thanks for the time
reviewing the series and suggestions, we hope this version gets a step
closer to happening in the upstream.

Please reference the link to v3 below for more introductory view of the
implementation [2]

Added patch: 2, 4, 10, 11, 12
Modified patch: 5, 6
Unchanged patch: 1, 3, 7, 8, 9
(1, 8 has commit msg modified)

Special thanks to Björn for his efforts on testing and guiding the
series!
