Prior to clang 13.0.0, the RISC-V name for the mcount symbol was "mcount", which differs from the GCC version of "_mcount", which results in the following errors: riscv64-linux-gnu-ld: init/main.o: in function `__traceiter_initcall_level': main.c:(.text+0xe): undefined reference to `mcount' riscv64-linux-gnu-ld: init/main.o: in function `__traceiter_initcall_start': main.c:(.text+0x4e): undefined reference to `mcount' riscv64-linux-gnu-ld: init/main.o: in function `__traceiter_initcall_finish': main.c:(.text+0x92): undefined reference to `mcount' riscv64-linux-gnu-ld: init/main.o: in function `.LBB32_28': main.c:(.text+0x30c): undefined reference to `mcount' riscv64-linux-gnu-ld: init/main.o: in function `free_initmem': main.c:(.text+0x54c): undefined reference to `mcount' This has been corrected in https://reviews.llvm.org/D98881 but the minimum supported clang version is 10.0.1. To avoid build errors and to gain a working function tracer, adjust the name of the mcount symbol for older versions of clang in mount.S and recordmcount.pl.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
