[ Upstream commit 999340d51174ce4141dd723105d4cef872b13ee9 ] On little endian system, Use aarch64_be(gcc v7.3) downloaded from linaro.org to build image with CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN = y, CONFIG_FTRACE = y, CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE = y. gcc will create symbols of _mcount but recordmcount can not create mcount_loc for *.o. aarch64_be-linux-gnu-objdump -r fs/namei.o | grep mcount 00000000000000d0 R_AARCH64_CALL26 _mcount ... 0000000000007190 R_AARCH64_CALL26 _mcount The reason is than funciton arm64_is_fake_mcount can not work correctly. A symbol of _mcount in *.o compiled with big endian compiler likes: 00 00 00 2d 00 00 01 1b w(rp->r_info) will return 0x2d instead of 0x011b. Because w() takes uint32_t as parameter, which truncates rp->r_info. Use w8() instead w() to read relp->r_info Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210222135840.56250-1-chenjun102@huawei.com Fixes: ea0eada45632 ("recordmcount: only record relocation of type R_AARCH64_CALL26 on arm64.")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
