When cross-building the arm64 kernel with allmodconfig using GCC 9.4,
the following error occurs on multiple files under samples/ftrace/:

/tmp/ccPC1ODs.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccPC1ODs.s:8: Error: selected processor does not support `bti c'

Fix this issue by replacing `bti c` with `hint 34`, which is compatible
for the older compiler.

The ftrace samples need per-architecture trampoline implementations
to save and restore argument registers around the calls to
my_direct_func* and to restore polluted registers (eg: x30).

These samples also include &lt;asm/asm-offsets.h&gt; which, on arm64, is not
necessary and redefines previously defined macros (resulting in
warnings) so these includes are guarded by !CONFIG_ARM64.

<title>ftrace: Let unregister_ftrace_direct_multi() call ftrace_free_filter()</title>

A common pattern when using the ftrace_direct_multi API is to unregister
the ops and also immediately free its filter. We've noticed it's very
easy for users to miss calling ftrace_free_filter().

This adds a "free_filters" argument to unregister_ftrace_direct_multi()
to both remind the user they should free filters and also to make their
life easier.

When other architectures without the nospec functionality write their
direct-call functions of samples/ftrace/*.c, the including of
asm/nospec-branch.h must be taken care to fix the no header file found
error in building process.

This commit (ee3e2469b346 "x86/ftrace: Make it call depth tracking aware")
file-globally includes asm/nospec-branch.h providing CALL_DEPTH_ACCOUNT
for only x86 direct-call functions.

It seems better to move the including to `#ifdef CONFIG_X86_64`.

<content type='text'>
Setting filters on an ftrace ops results in some memory being allocated
for the filter hashes, which must be freed before the ops can be freed.
This can be done by removing every individual element of the hash by
calling ftrace_set_filter_ip() or ftrace_set_filter_ips() with `remove`
set, but this is somewhat error prone as it's easy to forget to remove
an element.

Make it easier to clean this up by exporting ftrace_free_filter(), which
can be used to clean up all of the filter hashes after an ftrace_ops has
been unregistered.

Using this, fix the ftrace-direct* samples to free hashes prior to being
unloaded. All other code either removes individual filters explicitly or
is built-in and already calls ftrace_free_filter().

Since ftrace has trampolines, don't use thunks for the __fentry__ site
but instead require that every function called from there includes
accounting. This very much includes all the direct-call functions.

Additionally, ftrace uses ROP tricks in two places:

 - return_to_handler(), and
 - ftrace_regs_caller() when pt_regs-&gt;orig_ax is set by a direct-call.

return_to_handler() already uses a retpoline to replace an
indirect-jump to defeat IBT, since this is a jump-type retpoline, make
sure there is no accounting done and ALTERNATIVE the RET into a ret.

ftrace_regs_caller() does much the same and gets the same treatment.
