[PATCH v3] KVM: arm64: nvhe: Fix build with profile optimization

From: Denis Nikitin
Date: Fri Oct 14 2022 - 14:46:43 EST


Kernel build with clang and KCFLAGS=-fprofile-sample-use=<profile> fails with:

error: arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/nvhe/kvm_nvhe.tmp.o: Unexpected SHT_REL
section ".rel.llvm.call-graph-profile"

Starting from 13.0.0 llvm can generate SHT_REL section, see
https://reviews.llvm.org/rGca3bdb57fa1ac98b711a735de048c12b5fdd8086.
gen-hyprel does not support SHT_REL relocation section.

Filter out profile use flags to fix the build with profile optimization.

V2 -> V3: Filter out the profile-use flags.
V1 -> V2: Remove the relocation instead of disabling the profile-use flags.
