From: James Morse <james.morse@arm.com> Date: Thu, 28 Apr 2016 23:18:52 +0000 (-0700) Subject: kcov: don't trace the code coverage code X-Git-Tag: v4.6-rc6~8^2~7 X-Git-Url: https://www.infradead.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=bdab42dfc974d15303afbf259f340f374a453974;p=users%2Fjedix%2Flinux-maple.git kcov: don't trace the code coverage code Kcov causes the compiler to add a call to __sanitizer_cov_trace_pc() in every basic block. Ftrace patches in a call to _mcount() to each function it has annotated. Letting these mechanisms annotate each other is a bad thing. Break the loop by adding 'notrace' to __sanitizer_cov_trace_pc() so that ftrace won't try to patch this code. This patch lets arm64 with KCOV and STACK_TRACER boot.
