[PATCH 09/15] ftrace: Avoid recording mcount on .init sections directly

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Wed May 18 2011 - 12:11:18 EST


From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@xxxxxxxxxx>

The init and exit sections should not be traced and adding a call to
mcount to them is a waste of text and instruction cache. Have the
macro section attributes include notrace to ignore these functions
for tracing from the build.
