In an effort to enable -Wcast-function-type in the top-level Makefile to support Control Flow Integrity builds, all function casts need to be removed. This means that ftrace_ops_list_func() can no longer be defined as ftrace_ops_no_ops(). The reason for ftrace_ops_no_ops() is to use that when an architecture calls ftrace_ops_list_func() with only two parameters (called from assembly). And to make sure there's no C side-effects, those archs call ftrace_ops_no_ops() which only has two parameters, as ftrace_ops_list_func() has four parameters. Instead of a typecast, use vmlinux.lds.h to define ftrace_ops_list_func() to arch_ftrace_ops_list_func() that will define the proper set of parameters.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
