[PATCH] scripts/recordmcount.pl: support big endian for ARCH sh

From: Rong Chen
Date: Wed Feb 10 2021 - 10:06:42 EST


The kernel test robot reported the following issue:
CC [M] drivers/soc/litex/litex_soc_ctrl.o
sh4-linux-objcopy: Unable to change endianness of input file(s)
sh4-linux-ld: cannot find drivers/soc/litex/.tmp_gl_litex_soc_ctrl.o: No such file or directory
sh4-linux-objcopy: 'drivers/soc/litex/.tmp_mx_litex_soc_ctrl.o': No such file

The problem is that the format of input file is elf32-shbig-linux,
but sh4-linux-objcopy wants to output a file which format is elf32-sh-linux:

$ sh4-linux-objdump -d drivers/soc/litex/litex_soc_ctrl.o | grep format
drivers/soc/litex/litex_soc_ctrl.o: file format elf32-shbig-linux
