For now, using qemuppc64 as MACHINE and building things inside SDK,
we'll get the following error:
ERROR: modpost: "_mcount" undefined
This is because after [1], MPROFILE_KERNEL is using arch/powerpc/tools/
contents to do the check. This in turn affects HAVE_OBJTOOL.
"""
arch/powerpc/Kconfig: select HAVE_OBJTOOL if ARCH_USING_PATCHABLE_FUNCTION_ENTRY || MPROFILE_KERNEL || PPC32
"""
The current MPROFILE_KERNEL for powerpc:
"""
config MPROFILE_KERNEL
depends on PPC64_ELF_ABI_V2 && FUNCTION_TRACER
def_bool $(success,$(srctree)/arch/powerpc/tools/gcc-check-mprofile-kernel.sh $(CC) -mlittle-endian) if CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN
def_bool $(success,$(srctree)/arch/powerpc/tools/gcc-check-mprofile-kernel.sh $(CC) -mbig-endian) if CPU_BIG_ENDIAN
"""
If MPROFILE_KERNEL is disabled, thus HAVE_OBJTOOL being disabled, then
FTRACE_MCOUNT_USE_RECORDMCOUNT will be enabled, causing this error.
The scripts are listed and copied one by one. Their names and the reasons why
they are copied are as below:
gcc-check-mprofile-kernel.sh: needed by MPROFILE_KERNEL
gcc-check-fpatchable-function-entry.sh: needed by ARCH_USING_PATCHABLE_FUNCTION_ENTRY
head_check.sh/relocs_check.sh/unrel_branch_check.sh: needed by Makefile.postlink
