Hi!
From: Arnd Bergmann arnd@arndb.de
commit 6e7b64b9dd6d96537d816ea07ec26b7dedd397b9 upstream.
kernel/elfcore.c only contains weak symbols, which triggers a bug with clang in combination with recordmcount:
Cannot find symbol for section 2: .text. kernel/elfcore.o: failed
Move the empty stubs into linux/elfcore.h as inline functions. As only two architectures use these, just use the architecture specific Kconfig symbols to key off the declaration.
4.4 has this:
config BINFMT_ELF32 bool default y if MIPS32_O32 || MIPS32_N32 select ELFCORE
in arch/mips. So I believe we'll see problems in that configuration...?
Best regards, Pavel
