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.

Clang >= 10 supports -fpatchable-function-entry and CFI requires Clang 12, so I assume this is only an issue if CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS is explicitly disabled? Nevertheless, the patch looks good to me.
