Indeed, plain old -pg will be a problem. I'm not sure there is a generic way to address this. I suppose architectures will have to validate the mcount locations, something like this?Perhaps another solution is to make the mcount locations after the linking is done. The main downside to that is that it takes time to go over the entire vmlinux, and will slow down a compile that only modified a couple of files.
If we do that after the linking, won't it be a nightmare with the trampolines installed by the linker when the destination is over the 24 bits limit ? Christophe
