[PATCH 4.3 132/157] recordmcount: arm64: Replace the ignored mcount call into nop

Show all headers | View raw

4.3-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Li Bin <huawei.libin@huawei.com>

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.
