    x86/ftrace, x86/asm: Kill ftrace_caller_end label · f1b92bb6
    Borislav Petkov authored
    One of ftrace_caller_end and ftrace_return is redundant so unify them.
    Rename ftrace_return to ftrace_epilogue to mean that everything after
    that label represents, like an afterword, work which happens *after* the
    ftrace call, e.g., the function graph tracer for one.
    
    Steve wants this to rather mean "[a]n event which reflects meaningfully
    on a recently ended conflict or struggle." I can imagine that ftrace can
    be a struggle sometimes.
    
    Anyway, beef up the comment about the code contents and layout before
    ftrace_epilogue label.
