Firstly we add logic to Kconfig to allow a user to choose if they want mprofile-kernel. This has to be user-selectable because only some current toolchains support it. If we enabled it unconditionally we would prevent some users from building the kernel entirely. Arguably it would be nice if we could detect if mprofile-kernel was available, and use it then. However that would violate the principle of least surprise because a user having choosen options such as live patching, would then see them quietly disabled at build time. We also make the user selectable option negative, ie. it disables when selected, so that allyesconfig continues to build on old toolchains. Once we've decided we do want to use mprofile-kernel, we then add a script which checks it actually works. That is because there are versions of gcc that accept the flag but don't generate correct code. Due to the way kconfig works, we can't error out when we detect a non-working toolchain. If we did a user would never be able to modify their config and run oldconfig - because the check would block oldconfig from running. Instead we emit a warning and add a bogus flag to CFLAGS so that the build will fail. Signed-off-by: Torsten Duwe <duwe@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
