The return from the ftrace_stub, _mcount, ftrace_caller and return_to_handler functions is done with "br %r14" and "br %r1". These are indirect branches as well and need to use execute trampolines for CONFIG_EXPOLINE=y. The ftrace_caller function is a special case as it returns to the start of a function and may only use %r0 and %r1. For a pre z10 machine the standard execute trampoline uses a LARL + EX to do this, but this requires *two* registers in the range %r1..%r15. To get around this the 'br %r1' located in the lowcore is used, then the EX instruction does not need an address register. But the lowcore trick may only be used for pre z14 machines, with noexec=on the mapping for the first page may not contain instructions. The solution for that is an ALTERNATIVE in the expoline THUNK generated by 'GEN_BR_THUNK %r1' to switch to EXRL, this relies on the fact that a machine that supports noexec=on has EXRL as well.
