Recordmcount utility under scripts is run, after compiling each object,
to find out all the locations of calling _mcount() and put them into
specific seciton named __mcount_loc.
Then linker collects all such information into a table in the kernel image
(between __start_mcount_loc and __stop_mcount_loc) for later use by ftrace.

This patch adds arm64 specific definitions to identify such locations.
There are two types of implementation, C and Perl. On arm64, only C version
is used to build the kernel now that CONFIG_HAVE_C_RECORDMCOUNT is on.
But Perl version is also maintained.

This patch also contains a workaround just in case where a header file,
elf.h, on host machine doesn't have definitions of EM_AARCH64 nor
R_AARCH64_ABS64. Without them, compiling C version of recordmcount will
fail.

Shouldn't you be setting gpfx = '_' instead of overriding altmcount like
this?

What about "mcount" (i.e. no underscore)?

Yep. Fix it.

I don't think it works since such regex doesn't match to "CALL26   _mcount".

Thanks,

What I meant was, do you need to match "mcount" as well? However, after
speaking to our GCC guys, they say they only support "_mcount" (preferred)
and "__mcount" (which GCC itself doesn't emit) so you can leave this regex
as-is.
