[PATCH 10/15] ftrace/x86: Do not trace .discard.text section

[-- Attachment #1: 0010-ftrace-x86-Do-not-trace-.discard.text-section.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1029 bytes --]

From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

The section called .discard.text has tracing attached to it and is
currently ignored by ftrace. But it does include a call to the mcount
stub. Adding a notrace to the code keeps gcc from adding the useless
mcount caller to it.
