[PATCH 1/4] ftrace: Test mcount_loc addr before calling ftrace_call_addr()

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt at goodmis.org>

The addresses in the mcount_loc can be zeroed and then moved by KASLR
making them invalid addresses. ftrace_call_addr() for ARM 64 expects a
valid address to kernel text. If the addr read from the mcount_loc section
is invalid, it must not call ftrace_call_addr(). Move the addr check
before calling ftrace_call_addr() in ftrace_process_locs().

Fixes: ef378c3b8233 ("scripts/sorttable: Zero out weak functions in mcount_loc table")
