Steven, Frederic,

I'd like to resurrect this old ARM dynamic ftrace patchset. It still
applies on next except for a small merge conflict in one of the
ARM-specific patches.

This is the only non-arch/arm/ patch in the series which doesn't have
either of your Acked-bys, so if you'd be willing to ack it, I'll send in
the lot via rmk's ARM patch system for .37.

Alternatively, this one and "[PATCH 03/10] ftrace: allow building
without frame pointers" could go in via the tracing tree for .36? Then
I'll send in the ARM specific stuff for .37 via the ARM tree.

Thanks,
Rabin

I'll let Steve handling this one as I have few skills with things that touch
scripts/recordmcount.pl :)

Sorry for the late reply, just got back from vacation.

Hmm, this changes the number of parameters passed to the
recordmcount.pl. shouldn't this be part of the change to
recordmcount.pl? Otherwise, we can break a bisect.

No, this doesn't change the number of parameters. KBUILD_CFLAGS
is included inside the CC argument.

Sorry for top post. Sent from phone.

Argh! We had this discussion before. I must be getting old.
