Hi Christophe,
Thanks for your work enabling DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS on powerpc. Sorry 
for the late review on this series, but I have a few comments below.

I think we also need to save r1 into pt_regs so that the stack pointer 
is available in the callbacks.

Other than that, a few minor nits below...

Please add a blank line here, to match the formatting for the rest of 
this file.

Another blank line here.

Here too.
