[PATCH 10/15] ftrace/x86: Do not trace .discard.text section

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Wed May 18 2011 - 12:09:18 EST


From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@xxxxxxxxxx>

The section called .discard.text has tracing attached to it and is
currently ignored by ftrace. But it does include a call to the mcount
stub. Adding a notrace to the code keeps gcc from adding the useless
mcount caller to it.
