This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
profile: hide unused functions when !CONFIG_PROC_FS
to the 4.4-stable tree which can be found at:

Subject: profile: hide unused functions when !CONFIG_PROC_FS
From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx>
commit ade356b99a4187578609f2a91c4d2ed88e4e70dc upstream.
A couple of functions and variables in the profile implementation are
used only on SMP systems by the procfs code, but are unused if either
procfs is disabled or in uniprocessor kernels. gcc prints a harmless
warning about the unused symbols:
kernel/profile.c:243:13: error: 'profile_flip_buffers' defined but not used [-Werror=unused-function]
static void profile_flip_buffers(void)
^
kernel/profile.c:266:13: error: 'profile_discard_flip_buffers' defined but not used [-Werror=unused-function]
static void profile_discard_flip_buffers(void)
^
kernel/profile.c:330:12: error: 'profile_cpu_callback' defined but not used [-Werror=unused-function]
static int profile_cpu_callback(struct notifier_block *info,
^
This adds further #ifdef to the file, to annotate exactly in which cases
they are used. I have done several thousand ARM randconfig kernels with
this patch applied and no longer get any warnings in this file.
