[PATCH v3 10/13] objtool: Make recordmcount into an objtool subcmd

From: Matt Helsley
Date: Wed Jul 24 2019 - 17:05:47 EST


Rather than a standalone executable merge recordmcount as a sub command
of objtool. This is a small step towards cleaning up recordmcount and
eventually saving ELF code with objtool.

For the initial step all that's required is a bit of Makefile changes
and invoking the former main() function from recordmcount.c because the
subcommand code uses similar function arguments as main when dispatching.

objtool ignores some object files that tracing does not, specifically
those with OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD Makefile variables. For this reason
we keep the recordmcount_dep separate from the objtool_dep. When using
objtool mcount we can also, like the other objtool invocations, just
depend on the binary rather than the source the binary is built from.

Subsequent patches will gradually convert recordmcount to use
more and more of libelf/objtool's ELF accessor code. This will both
clean up recordmcount to be more easily readable and remove
recordmcount's crude accessor wrapping code.
