[PATCH] kbuild: avoid conflict between -ffunction-sections and -pg on gcc-4.7

From: Masahiro Yamada
Date: Fri Apr 14 2017 - 02:18:58 EST


Arnd Bergmann reported:
"When ftrace is enabled and we build with gcc-4.7 or older, we
get a warning for each file on architectures that select
CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION:

warning: -ffunction-sections disabled; it makes profiling impossible [enabled by default]
"

Since commit c3f0d0bc5b01 ("kbuild, LLVMLinux: Add -Werror to
cc-option to support clang"), warnings are treated as errors in
cc-option checks. CC_FLAGS_FTRACE is blindly added to KBUILD_CFLAGS,
so $(call cc-option,-ffunction-sections,) should be moved below it
in order to detect the conflict between the two options.
