Definitely, not a Makefile expert here, but when I tried this:
@@ -35,6 +40,7 @@ PURGATORY_CFLAGS_REMOVE := -mcmodel=kernel
PURGATORY_CFLAGS := -mcmodel=large -ffreestanding
-fno-zero-initialized-in-bss -g0
PURGATORY_CFLAGS += $(DISABLE_STACKLEAK_PLUGIN) -DDISABLE_BRANCH_PROFILING
PURGATORY_CFLAGS += -fno-stack-protector
+PURGATORY_CFLAGS := $(filter-out -fprofile-sample-use=%
-fprofile-use=%,$(KBUILD_CFLAGS))
It did not work.
Fixes: bde971a83bbf ("KVM: arm64: nvhe: Fix build with profile optimization")
does this approach, so this is what I tried and worked.
Thanks!
