Nit: Should the casing be "_mcount" ?

The #8 is because we go back two instructions right? Can we use
#(AARCH64_INSN_SIZE * 2) instead?

Same as above, can we use #(AARCH64_INSN_SIZE * 2) ?

The last argument of aarch64_insn_gen_branch_imm() is an enum, not a
boolean.

You should use AARCH64_INSN_BRANCH_LINK here which happens to be equal to 1.

This works, however it feels a bit weird since core code asked to
generate a NOP but not only we don't generate it but we put another
instruction instead.

I think it would be useful to state that the replacement of mcount calls
by nops is only ever done once at system initialization.

Or maybe have a intermediate function:

static int ftrace_setup_patchable_entry(unsigned long addr)
{
        u32 old, new;

        old = aarch64_insn_gen_nop();
        new = MOV_X9_X30;
        pc -= REC_IP_BRANCH_OFFSET;
        return ftrace_modify_code(pc, old, new, validate);
}

        [...]

        if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS) &&
                addr == MCOUNT_ADDR)
                return ftrace_setup_patchable_entry(pc);


This way it clearly show that this is a setup/init corner case.

Thanks,
