From 16fd20aa98080c2fa666dc384036ec08c80af710 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Burton Date: Fri, 11 Jan 2019 19:06:44 +0000 Subject: kbuild: Disable LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION with ftrace & GCC <= 4.7 When building using GCC 4.7 or older, -ffunction-sections & the -pg flag used by ftrace are incompatible. This causes warnings or build failures (where -Werror applies) such as the following: arch/mips/generic/init.c: error: -ffunction-sections disabled; it makes profiling impossible This used to be taken into account by the ordering of calls to cc-option from within the top-level Makefile, which was introduced by commit 90ad4052e85c ("kbuild: avoid conflict between -ffunction-sections and -pg on gcc-4.7"). Unfortunately this was broken when the CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION cc-option check was moved to Kconfig in commit e85d1d65cd8a ("kbuild: test dead code/data elimination support in Kconfig"), because the flags used by this check no longer include -pg. Fix this by not allowing CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION to be enabled at the same time as ftrace/CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER when building using GCC 4.7 or older.
