[llvm-dev] X86/X86_64: "Add support for __gnu_mcount_nc as the pg interface"

[Sedat Dilek via llvm-dev]

Hi Saleem,

can you help with your patch "Add support for __gnu_mcount_nc as the
pg interface" for X86/X86_64?

Here, I am on Linux/x86 and playing with the llvmlinux patchset.
More precisely, I use Linux v4.4 with LongTermSupport and
llvm-toolchain v3.8.0 on Ubuntu/precise AMD64.
So, I would like to test an adapted patch for X86 (64-Bit).

My build breaks like this...

+ ld -m elf_x86_64 --build-id --build-id -o .tmp_vmlinux1 -T
./arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux.lds arch/x86/kernel/head_64.o

arch/x86/kernel/head64.o:arch/x86/kernel/head64.c:(.init.text+0x162):
more undefined references to `_mcount' follow

Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
