3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Russell King <rmk+kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit dd39a26538e37f6c6131e829a4a510787e43c783 upstream. recordmcount edits the file in-place, which can cause problems when using ccache in hardlink mode. Arrange for recordmcount to break a hardlinked object.
