Worse comes to worse, we can keep this change, and you can enjoy your holidays. I just need this fixed before 4.15 is released. I'll be jumping into objtool shortly, to see if I can merge the code from recordmcount.c with it too. I'm going to need to learn ORC and DWARF to start on extending the function tracer to act more like tracepoints (like I discussed with Linus in Prague). -- Steve
