From 18f936642fe1a3eaacb7c277c940d82a66f361e8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Li Bin Date: Fri, 30 Oct 2015 16:31:04 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] recordmcount: arm64: Replace the ignored mcount call into nop commit 2ee8a74f2a5da913637f75a19a0da0e7a08c0f86 upstream. By now, the recordmcount only records the function that in following sections: .text/.ref.text/.sched.text/.spinlock.text/.irqentry.text/ .kprobes.text/.text.unlikely For the function that not in these sections, the call mcount will be in place and not be replaced when kernel boot up. And it will bring performance overhead, such as do_mem_abort (in .exception.text section). This patch make the call mcount to nop for this case in recordmcount.
