The allmodconfig configs the CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN, and the test system is little eddian, so
it triggers the error.

It is a bug in nop_mcount:
...
if (mcountsym == Elf_r_sym(relp) && !is_fake_mcount(relp)) {
if (make_nop) {
ret = make_nop((void *)ehdr, shdr->sh_offset + relp->r_offset);
}
...

shdr->sh_offset and welp->r_offset should handle endianness properly as _w(shdr->sh_offset)/
_w(relp->r_offset). I will post a patchset including this patch soon.

Thanks,

Li Bin
