When building using GCC 4.7 or older, -ffunction-sections & the -pg flag
used by ftrace are incompatible. This causes warnings or build failures
(where -Werror applies) such as the following:
arch/mips/generic/init.c:
error: -ffunction-sections disabled; it makes profiling impossible
This used to be taken into account by the ordering of calls to cc-option
from within the top-level Makefile, which was introduced by commit
90ad4052e85c ("kbuild: avoid conflict between -ffunction-sections and
-pg on gcc-4.7"). Unfortunately this was broken when the
CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION cc-option check was moved to
Kconfig in commit e85d1d65cd8a ("kbuild: test dead code/data elimination
support in Kconfig"), because the flags used by this check no longer
include -pg.
Fix this by not allowing CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION to be
enabled at the same time as ftrace/CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER when building
using GCC 4.7 or older.

Thanks for the fix.
I prefer this explicit 'depends on'.
Relying on the order of $(call cc-option, ...) in Makefile is fragile.
We raise the compiler minimum version from time to time.
So, this 'depends on' will eventually go away in the future.
BTW, which one do you think more readable?
depends on !FUNCTION_TRACER || !CC_IS_GCC || GCC_VERSION >= 40800
OR
depends on !(FUNCTION_TRACER && CC_IS_GCC && GCC_VERSION < 40800)

Thanks - yes I agree it's nice that this is more explicit than the
ordering we previously relied upon.
I personally don't mind either of the 2 options above - let me know if
you'd like me to submit a v2 using your second option.
Thanks,
Paul

Personally, I slightly prefer this:
depends on !(FUNCTION_TRACER && CC_IS_GCC && GCC_VERSION < 40800)
It is more consistent with your patch title:
"Disable LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION with ftrace & GCC <= 4.7"
May I ask v2?

When building using GCC 4.7 or older, -ffunction-sections & the -pg flag
used by ftrace are incompatible. This causes warnings or build failures
(where -Werror applies) such as the following:
arch/mips/generic/init.c:
error: -ffunction-sections disabled; it makes profiling impossible
This used to be taken into account by the ordering of calls to cc-option
from within the top-level Makefile, which was introduced by commit
90ad4052e85c ("kbuild: avoid conflict between -ffunction-sections and
-pg on gcc-4.7"). Unfortunately this was broken when the
CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION cc-option check was moved to
Kconfig in commit e85d1d65cd8a ("kbuild: test dead code/data elimination
support in Kconfig"), because the flags used by this check no longer
include -pg.
Fix this by not allowing CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION to be
enabled at the same time as ftrace/CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER when building
using GCC 4.7 or older.
