scripts/recordmcount.{c,pl}: support -ffunction-sections .text.* section names
When building with -ffunction-sections, the compiler will place each function into its own ELF section, prefixed with ".text". For example, a simple test module with functions test_module_do_work() and test_module_wq_func(): % objdump --section-headers test_module.o | awk '/\.text/{print $2}' .text .text.test_module_do_work .text.test_module_wq_func .init.text .exit.text Adjust the recordmcount scripts to look for ".text" as a section name prefix. This will ensure that those functions will be included in the __mcount_loc relocations: % objdump --reloc --section __mcount_loc test_module.o OFFSET TYPE VALUE 0000000000000000 R_X86_64_64 .text.test_module_do_work 0000000000000008 R_X86_64_64 .text.test_module_wq_func 0000000000000010 R_X86_64_64 .init.text Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1542745158-25392-2-git-send-email-joe.lawrence@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Joe Lawrence <joe.lawrence@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
