It was brought up that on ARMv7, that because the FUNCTION_TRACER does not
use nops to keep function tracing disabled because of the use of a link
register, it does have some performance impact.
The start of functions when -pg is used to compile the kernel is:
push {lr}
bl 8010e7c0 <__gnu_mcount_nc>
When function tracing is tuned off, it becomes:
push {lr}
add sp, sp, #4
Which just puts the stack back to its normal location. But these two
instructions at the start of every function does incur some overhead.
Be more honest in the Kconfig FUNCTION_TRACER description and specify that
the overhead being in the noise was x86 specific, but other architectures
may vary.
