- Implement arm64 build time sorting of the mcount location table When gcc is used to build arm64, the mcount_loc section is all zeros in the vmlinux elf file. The addresses are stored in the Elf_Rela location. To sort at build time, an array is allocated and the addresses are added to it via the content of the mcount_loc section as well as he Elf_Rela data. After sorting, the information is put back into the Elf_Rela which now has the section sorted. - Make sorting of mcount location table for arm64 work with clang as well When clang is used, the mcount_loc section contains the addresses, unlike the gcc build. An array is still created and the sorting works for both methods. - Remove weak functions from the mcount_loc section Have the sorttable code pass in the data of functions defined via nm -S which shows the functions as well as their sizes. Using this information the sorttable code can determine if a function in the mcount_loc section was weak and overridden. If the function is not found, it is set to be zero. On boot, when the mcount_loc section is read and the ftrace table is created, if the address in the mcount_loc is not in the kernel core text then it is removed and not added to the ftrace_filter_functions (the functions that can be attached by ftrace callbacks). - Update and fix the reporting of how much data is used for ftrace functions On boot, a report of how many pages were used by the ftrace table as well as how they were grouped (the table holds a list of sections that are groups of pages that were able to be allocated). The removing of the weak functions required the accounting to be updated. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYIADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCZ+MnThQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6qivsAQDhPOCaONai7rvHX9T1aOHGjdajZ7SI qoZgBOsc2ZUkoQD/U2M/m7Yof9aR4I+VFKtT5NsAwpfqPSOL/t/1j6UEOQ8= =45AV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-sorttable-v6.15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing / sorttable updates from Steven Rostedt: - Implement arm64 build time sorting of the mcount location table When gcc is used to build arm64, the mcount_loc section is all zeros in the vmlinux elf file.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
