    Subject[PATCH 4.2.y-ckt 39/70] compiler-gcc: disable -ftracer for __noclone functions
    Date
    4.2.8-ckt8 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

    ---8<------------------------------------------------------------

    From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

    commit 95272c29378ee7dc15f43fa2758cb28a5913a06d upstream.

    -ftracer can duplicate asm blocks causing compilation to fail in
    noclone functions. For example, KVM declares a global variable
    in an asm like

    asm("2: ... \n
    .pushsection data \n
    .global vmx_return \n
    vmx_return: .long 2b");

    and -ftracer causes a double declaration.
