[PATCH 2/6]explictly ignore a file in recordmcount.pl

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In IA64, a function pointer isn't a 'unsigned long' but a
'struct {unsigned long ip, unsigned long gp}'. MCOUNT_ADDR is determined
at link time not compile time, so explictly ignore kernel/trace/ftrace.o
in recordmcount.pl.
