From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" <[email protected]> The name MCOUNT_SAVE_FRAME is rather confusing as it really isn't a function frame that is saved, but just the required mcount registers that are needed to be saved before C code may be called. The word "frame" confuses it as being a function frame which it is not.
Rename MCOUNT_SAVE_FRAME and MCOUNT_RESTORE_FRAME to save_mcount_regs and restore_mcount_regs respectively. Noticed the lower case, which keeps it from screaming at the reviewers.
