[PATCH 3.18 14/25] scripts: recordmcount: break hardlinks

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Mar 16 2018 - 13:37:11 EST


3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Russell King <rmk+kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit dd39a26538e37f6c6131e829a4a510787e43c783 upstream.

recordmcount edits the file in-place, which can cause problems when
using ccache in hardlink mode. Arrange for recordmcount to break a
hardlinked object.
