ftrace: Synchronize the initialization of ftrace_opsgrafted
There's some internal state that ftrace_ops needs to have set, but since it can be declared outside of the ftrace.c code, it calls ftrace_ops_init() on the ops in every global function. The issue is that if two tasks call it on the same ops at the same time it is possible to have the initialization of one corrupt the initialization of the other call. Create a ops_mutex to use to synchronize every initialization of the ftrace_ops. The mutex is taken within checking the ftrace_ops flag that states it was initializied but the flag is checked again after the mutex has been taken. Checking first outside the mutex allows it to shortcut having to take the mutex. But then the check needs to be done again after the mute is taken in case of races.

+AMD-TEE (AMD's Trusted Execution Environment)
+=============================================
+
+The AMD-TEE driver handles the communication with AMD's TEE environment. The
+TEE environment is provided by AMD Secure Processor.
+
+The AMD Secure Processor (formerly called Platform Security Processor or PSP)
+is a dedicated processor that features ARM TrustZone technology, along with a
+software-based Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) designed to enable
+third-party Trusted Applications. This feature is currently enabled only for
+APUs.
+
+The following picture shows a high level overview of AMD-TEE::
+
+ |
+ x86 |
+ |
+ User space (Kernel space) | AMD Secure Processor (PSP)
+ ~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ |
+ +--------+ | +-------------+
+ | Client | | | Trusted |
+ +--------+ | | Application |
+ /\ | +-------------+

+ || | | Internal |
+ \/ | | API |
+ +---------+ +-----------+---------+ +----------+
+ | TEE | | TEE | AMD-TEE | | AMD-TEE |
+ | Client | | subsystem | driver | | Trusted |
+ | API | | | | | OS |
+ +---------+-----------+----+------+---------+---------+----------+
+ | Generic TEE API | | ASP | Mailbox |
+ | IOCTL (TEE_IOC_*) | | driver | Register Protocol |
+ +--------------------------+ +---------+--------------------+
+
+At the lowest level (in x86), the AMD Secure Processor (ASP) driver uses the
+CPU to PSP mailbox register to submit commands to the PSP. The format of the
+command buffer is opaque to the ASP driver. It's role is to submit commands to
+the secure processor and return results to AMD-TEE driver. The interface
+between AMD-TEE driver and AMD Secure Processor driver can be found in [1].
+
+The AMD-TEE driver packages the command buffer payload for processing in TEE.
+The command buffer format for the different TEE commands can be found in [2].
+
+The TEE commands supported by AMD-TEE Trusted OS are:
+
+* TEE_CMD_ID_LOAD_TA - loads a Trusted Application (TA) binary into
+ TEE environment.
+* TEE_CMD_ID_UNLOAD_TA - unloads TA binary from TEE environment.
+* TEE_CMD_ID_OPEN_SESSION - opens a session with a loaded TA.
+* TEE_CMD_ID_CLOSE_SESSION - closes session with loaded TA
+* TEE_CMD_ID_INVOKE_CMD - invokes a command with loaded TA
+* TEE_CMD_ID_MAP_SHARED_MEM - maps shared memory
+* TEE_CMD_ID_UNMAP_SHARED_MEM - unmaps shared memory
+
+AMD-TEE Trusted OS is the firmware running on AMD Secure Processor.
+
+The AMD-TEE driver registers itself with TEE subsystem and implements the
+following driver function callbacks:
+
+* get_version - returns the driver implementation id and capability.
+* open - sets up the driver context data structure.
+* release - frees up driver resources.
+* open_session - loads the TA binary and opens session with loaded TA.
+* close_session - closes session with loaded TA and unloads it.
+* invoke_func - invokes a command with loaded TA.
+
+cancel_req driver callback is not supported by AMD-TEE.
+
+The GlobalPlatform TEE Client API [3] can be used by the user space (client) to
+talk to AMD's TEE. AMD's TEE provides a secure environment for loading, opening
+a session, invoking commands and closing session with TA.
