[RFC][PATCH 1/4] ftrace: Make recordmcount.c handle __fentry__

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@xxxxxxxxxx>

With gcc 4.6.0 the -mfentry feature places the function profiling
call at the start of the function. When this is used, the call is
to __fentry__ and not mcount.

Change recordmcount.c to record both callers to __fentry__ and
mcount.
