[PATCH 2/2] tracing/x86: Dont use mcount in kvmclock.c

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Wed Sep 22 2010 - 23:05:58 EST


From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@xxxxxxxxxx>

The guest can use the paravirt clock in kvmclock.c which is used
by sched_clock(), which in turn is used by the tracing mechanism
for timestamps, which leads to infinite recursion.

Disable mcount/tracing for kvmclock.o.
