Ok, and by "untested", I clearly mean just that. I see a typo
immediately, but you get the idea.

+#define MCOUNT_REC() \
+ SYMBOL_SECTION(__mcount_lock, mcount_loc)

I'm too used to typing "lock", that __mcount_lock thing should
obviously be "__mcount_loc"

So take the patch as the RFC it is, and fix at least that typo before
actually testing it.
