Support for -fentry -mrecord-mcount and -mnop-mcount has been added for
s390 in gcc master branch. An attempt to build 4.18 for s390 with that
gcc would produce a kernel with no __mcount_loc though because of the
new condition in scripts/Makefile.build:210 which disables recordmcount
tool if compiler supports -mrecord-mcount (s390 relies on combination
of -mhotpatch=0,3 gcc flag and recordmcount.pl).

This patch series adds s390 ftrace support based on combination of -pg
-fentry -mrecord-mcount and -mnop-mcount gcc flags (that fixes issue
mentioned above). At the same time this patch series fixes couple of
minor issues and adds -mnop-mcount gcc flag support (utilized by s390).

Vasily Gorbik (4):
  trace: handle CC_FLAGS_FTRACE more accurately
  trace: avoid calling cc-option -mrecord-mcount for every Makefile
  trace: add -mcount-nop option support
  s390/ftrace: add -mfentry and -mnop-mcount support
