commit dd39a26538e37f6c6131e829a4a510787e43c783 upstream.

recordmcount edits the file in-place, which can cause problems when
using ccache in hardlink mode.  Arrange for recordmcount to break a
hardlinked object.

[ Upstream commit b2e1c26f0b62531636509fbcb6dab65617ed8331 ]

glibc recently did a sync up (94e73c95d9b5 "elf.h: Sync with the gabi
webpage") that added a #define for EM_METAG but did not add relocations

This triggers build errors:

scripts/recordmcount.c: In function 'do_file':
scripts/recordmcount.c:466:28: error: 'R_METAG_ADDR32' undeclared (first use in this function)
  case EM_METAG:  reltype = R_METAG_ADDR32;
                            ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
scripts/recordmcount.c:466:28: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
scripts/recordmcount.c:468:20: error: 'R_METAG_NONE' undeclared (first use in this function)
     rel_type_nop = R_METAG_NONE;
                    ^~~~~~~~~~~~

Work around this change with some more #ifdefery for the relocations.

31 bit and 64 bit diverge more and more and it is rather painful
to keep both parts running.
To make things simpler just remove the 31 bit support which nobody
uses anyway.

<title>ftrace: Add arm64 support to recordmcount</title>

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.

<title>ftrace/recordmcount: Add warning logic to warn on mcount not recorded</title>

There's some sections that should not have mcount recorded and should not have
modifications to the that code. But currently they waste some time by calling
mcount anyway (which simply returns). As the real answer should be to
either whitelist the section or have gcc ignore it fully.

This change adds a option to recordmcount to warn when it finds a section
that is ignored by ftrace but still contains mcount callers. This is not on
by default as developers may not know if the section should be completely
ignored or added to the whitelist.
