It looks like we might need another flag to skip recordmcount. Anyway, since objtool is run before recordmcount, I just left this unchanged for testing and ignored the recordmcount warnings about __mcount_loc already existing. Something is a bit off still though, I see this at boot: ------------[ ftrace bug ]------------ ftrace failed to modify [<ffffffff81000660>] __tracepoint_iter_initcall_level+0x0/0x40 actual: 0f:1f:44:00:00 Initializing ftrace call sites ftrace record flags: 0 (0) expected tramp: ffffffff81056500 ------------[ cut here ]------------ Otherwise, this looks pretty good.
