DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS uses -fpatchable-function-entry, which makes running recordmcount unnecessary as there are no mcount calls in object files, and __mcount_loc doesn't need to be generated. While there's normally no harm in running recordmcount even when it's not strictly needed, this won't work with LTO as we have LLVM bitcode instead of ELF objects. This change selects FTRACE_MCOUNT_USE_PATCHABLE_FUNCTION_ENTRY, which disables recordmcount when patchable function entries are used instead.

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.
