Subject: [PATCH 08/15] kbuild/recordmcount: Add RECORDMCOUNT_WARN to warn about mcount
Date: Wed, 18 May 2011 12:08:17 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110518160908.156314024@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20110518160809.724215604@goodmis.org

[-- Attachment #1: 0008-kbuild-recordmcount-Add-RECORDMCOUNT_WARN-to-warn-ab.patch callers --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2096 bytes --]

From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

When mcount is called in a section that ftrace will not modify it into
a nop, we want to warn about this. But not warn about this always. Now
if the user builds the kernel with the option RECORDMCOUNT_WARN=1 then
the build will warn about mcount callers that are ignored and will just
waste execution time.
