From 867ac9d737094e46a6c33213f16dd1ec9e8bd5d5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Josh Poimboeuf Date: Mon, 24 Jul 2017 18:34:14 -0500 Subject: objtool: Fix gcov check for older versions of GCC Objtool tries to silence 'unreachable instruction' warnings when it detects gcov is enabled, because gcov produces a lot of unreachable instructions and they don't really matter. However, the 0-day bot is still reporting some unreachable instruction warnings with CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL=y on GCC 4.6.4. As it turns out, objtool's gcov detection doesn't work with older versions of GCC because they don't create a bunch of symbols with the 'gcov.' prefix like newer versions of GCC do. Move the gcov check out of objtool and instead just create a new '--no-unreachable' flag which can be passed in by the kernel Makefile when CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL is defined. Also rename the 'nofp' variable to 'no_fp' for consistency with the new 'no_unreachable' variable.
