Subject: MIPS: ftrace: Fix a microMIPS build problem
From: Markos Chandras <markos.chandras@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit aedd153f5bb5b1f1d6d9142014f521ae2ec294cc upstream.
Code before the .fixup section needs to have the .insn directive.
This has no side effects on MIPS32/64 but it affects the way microMIPS
loads the address for the return label.
Fixes the following build problem:
mips-linux-gnu-ld: arch/mips/built-in.o: .fixup+0x4a0: Unsupported jump between
ISA modes; consider recompiling with interlinking enabled.
mips-linux-gnu-ld: final link failed: Bad value
Makefile:819: recipe for target 'vmlinux' failed
The fix is similar to 1658f914ff91c3bf ("MIPS: microMIPS:
Disable LL/SC and fix linker bug.")
