Folks,

I'm trying to profile a code compiled with Clang and I'm getting a segfault
on mcount independently of the program I run:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00007ffff7b1245b in mcount () from /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6

(gdb) p $rdi
$1 = 1
(gdb) p $rsp
$2 = (void *) 0x7fffffffded0
(gdb) p $rbp
$3 = (void *) 0x0

This is Ubuntu 12.10, libc6 2.15, gcc 4.7.2, and of course, it works with
gcc.

I'm not sure how to begin debugging it, since mcount was probably compiled
with gcc, but it looks like LLVM is generating the wrong call standard.

It only appears in -O1 upwards, but there's not stack trace, and I suspect
this is due to how the profiling instrumentation work... Any pointers?

cheers,
