[PATCH] kbuild: dummy-tools: pretend we understand -fpatchable-function-entry

From: Jiri Slaby (SUSE)
Date: Mon Oct 30 2023 - 07:34:24 EST


Commit 0f71dcfb4aef (powerpc/ftrace: Add support for
-fpatchable-function-entry) added a script to check for
-fpatchable-function-entry compiler support. The script expects compiler
to emit the section __patchable_function_entries and few nops after a
function entry.

If the compiler understands and emits the above,
CONFIG_ARCH_USING_PATCHABLE_FUNCTION_ENTRY is set.

So teach dummy-tools' gcc about this.
