Have you tried building all current archs with function tracing enabled
to make sure this doesn't break any of them? I can do it if you want.  

We shouldn't need to should we? This is only touching powerpc specific
code (if I understand perl that is).

eg:

$ git diff -U9 scripts/recordmcount.pl

Thanks for the added context!

Yeah, I don't look at that code much anymore since I mainly deal with
recordmcount.c now-a-days. I wonder if someone should port ppc to that.

Ah right. I didn't realise they were mutually exclusive. I'll add a TODO
for us to port over to the C version.

It is also no my todo list to merge that with objtool.

Anyway,

Thanks.
