[RFC PATCH 2/3] objtool: Enable and implement 'mcount' subcommand

From: Sathvika Vasireddy
Date: Fri Mar 18 2022 - 06:54:13 EST


This patch adds 'mcount' as a subcommand to objtool, and enables
the same for x86. objtool is built if CONFIG_FTRACE_MCOUNT_USE_OBJTOOL
is selected. Additionally, architectures can select HAVE_NOP_MCOUNT
if they choose to nop out mcount call sites. If that config option is
selected, then --mnop is passed as an option to 'objtool mcount'
