[PATCH 04/15] kbuild: fix dynamic ftrace with clang LTO

Fri Nov 3 10:11:48 PDT 2017
With CONFIG_CLANG_LTO enabled, LLVM IR won't be compiled into object
files until modpost_link. This change postpones calls to recordmcount
until after this step.
In order to exclude ftrace_process_locs from inspection, we add a new
code section .text..ftrace, which we tell recordmcount to ignore, and
a __norecordmcount attribute for moving functions to this section.
