Hi Torsten,

I think this is a cleanup regardless of whether we use
-fpatchable-function-entry.

Can we please give this a more complete description, e.g.

| Currently arm64 makefiles assume that ftrace will use '-pg', and remove

| In preparation for arm64 supporting ftrace built on other compiler

| flags, whatever these may be, rather than assuming '-pg'.

This misses arch/arm64/lib/Makefile and mm/kasan/makefile.

Could we please split this into three patches, addressing:

* arm64
* efistub
* kasan

... since those have distinct maintainers. All those patches can be part
of this series, but having them as separate patches is a bit nicer for
review.

Why do we need to swtich to using filter-out. AFAICT, subst works just fine.

To keepthis legible, it would be nicer to split it like:

cflags-$(CONFIG_ARM64)			:= $(subst $(CC_FLAGS_FTRACE),,$(KBUILD_CFLAGS)) \
					   -fpie $(DISABLE_STACKLEAK_PLUGIN)
 cflags-$(CONFIG_ARM)		:= $(subst -pg,,$(KBUILD_CFLAGS)) \
 				   -fno-builtin -fpic \
Please clean up this instance too, at least for consistency.

Thanks,
Mark.
