[PATCH] KVM: arm64: nvhe: Disable profile optimization

From: Denis Nikitin
Date: Tue Sep 20 2022 - 04:24:14 EST


Kernel build with -fprofile-sample-use raises the following failure:

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

SHT_REL is generated by the latest lld, see
https://reviews.llvm.org/rGca3bdb57fa1ac98b711a735de048c12b5fdd8086.
Disable profile optimization in kvm/nvhe to fix the build with
AutoFDO.
