[PATCH v2] arm64: ftrace: use function_nocfi for _mcount as well

From: Sumit Garg <hidden>
Date: 2021-10-05 12:37:12

Subsystem: arm64 port (aarch64 architecture), function hooks (ftrace), the rest · Maintainers: Catalin Marinas, Will Deacon, Steven Rostedt, Masami Hiramatsu, Linus Torvalds

Commit 800618f955a9 ("arm64: ftrace: use function_nocfi for ftrace_call")
only fixed address of ftrace_call but address of _mcount needs to be
fixed as well. Use function_nocfi() to get the actual address of _mcount
function as with CONFIG_CFI_CLANG, the compiler replaces function pointers
with jump table addresses which breaks dynamic ftrace as the address of
_mcount is replaced with the address of _mcount.cfi_jt.

This problem won't apply where the toolchain implements
-fpatchable-function-entry as we'll use that in preference to regular -pg,
i.e. this won't show up with recent versions of clang.
