From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]> commit 96f60dfa5819a065bfdd2f2ba0df7d9cbce7f4dd upstream.
gcc 5 supports a new -mcount-record option to generate ftrace tables directly. This avoids the need to run record_mcount manually. Use this option when available. So far doesn't use -mcount-nop, which also exists now. This is needed to make ftrace work with LTO because the normal record-mcount script doesn't run over the link time output. It should also improve build times slightly in the general case.
