From: Vasily Gorbik <gor@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 07d0408120216b60625c9a5b8012d1c3a907984d upstream. Currently if CONFIG_FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD is enabled -mrecord-mcount compiler flag support is tested for every Makefile. Top 4 cc-option usages: 511 -mrecord-mcount 11 -fno-stack-protector 9 -Wno-override-init 2 -fsched-pressure To address that move cc-option from scripts/Makefile.build to top Makefile and export CC_USING_RECORD_MCOUNT to be used in original place. While doing that also add -mrecord-mcount to CC_FLAGS_FTRACE (if gcc actually supports it).
