Scenario 1, ARMv7:
==================
If code in arch/arm/kernel/ftrace.c would operate on mcount() pointer
the following may be generated:
00000230 <prealloc_fixed_plts>:
230: b5f8 push {r3, r4, r5, r6, r7, lr}
232: b500 push {lr}
234: f7ff fffe bl 0 <__gnu_mcount_nc>
234: R_ARM_THM_CALL __gnu_mcount_nc
238: f240 0600 movw r6, #0
238: R_ARM_THM_MOVW_ABS_NC __gnu_mcount_nc
23c: f8d0 1180 ldr.w r1, [r0, #384] ; 0x180
FTRACE currently is not able to deal with it:

The analysis for this problem has been already performed previously,
refer to the link below.
Fix the above problems by allowing only selected reloc types in
__mcount_loc. The list itself comes from the legacy recordmcount.pl
script.
