With gcc 4.6.0 the -mfentry feature places the function profiling call at the start of the function. When this is used, the call is to __fentry__ and not mcount. Change recordmcount.c to record both callers to __fentry__ and mcount. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20120807194058.990674363@goodmis.org Acked-by: H.
