True.

That raises an interesting question, how does it work *without* DYNAMIC_FTRACE?

It looks like you haven't updated that version of _mcount at all? Or maybe I'm
missing an #ifdef somewhere?

_GLOBAL_TOC(_mcount)
	/* Taken from output of objdump from lib64/glibc */
	mflr	r3
	ld	r11, 0(r1)
	stdu	r1, -112(r1)
	std	r3, 128(r1)
	ld	r4, 16(r11)

	subi	r3, r3, MCOUNT_INSN_SIZE
	LOAD_REG_ADDR(r5,ftrace_trace_function)
	ld	r5,0(r5)
	ld	r5,0(r5)
	mtctr	r5
	bctrl
	nop

It doesn't look like that will work right with the -mprofile-kernel ABI. And
indeed it doesn't boot.

So we'll need to work that out. I guess the minimum would be to disable
-mprofile-kernel if DYNAMIC_FTRACE is disabled.

Frankly I think we'd be happy to *only* support DYNAMIC_FTRACE, but the generic
code doesn't let us do that at the moment.

Thanks.

Sort of, see previous comments.

But it's better than the previous version which didn't boot :)

Also ftracetest fails at step 8:

That doesn't happen without your series applied, though that doesn't 100% mean
it's your bug. I haven't had time to dig any deeper.

Thanks.
