Subject: [PATCH] sparc: Export mcount for Clang-built modules
Date: Thu, 7 May 2026 19:11:19 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260508021119.1635054-1-rosenp@gmail.com> (raw)
Clang emits calls to mcount for -pg on sparc64, while the
existing ftrace support only exports the _mcount name. With
FUNCTION_TRACER enabled, modules can therefore keep relocations
against mcount and fail during modpost:
ERROR: modpost: "mcount" [arch/sparc/kernel/chmc.ko] undefined!
_mcount and mcount are aliases in arch/sparc/lib/mcount.S. Export
the plain mcount alias as well so Clang-built modules can resolve
their profiling call target.
