Subject[PATCH 2/2] tracing/x86: Dont use mcount in kvmclock.c
From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

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.
