[PATCH v2] modpost: Skip .llvm.call-graph-profile section check

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

 



.llvm.call-graph-profile section is added by clang when the kernel is
built with profiles (e.g. -fprofile-sample-use= or -fprofile-use=).

The section contains edge information derived from text sections,
so .llvm.call-graph-profile itself doesn't need more analysis as
the text sections have been analyzed.

This change fixes the kernel build with clang and a sample profile
which currently fails with:

"FATAL: modpost: Please add code to calculate addend for this architecture"
