Currently, multi_v7_defconfig + CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER fails to build with clang: arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: kernel/softirq.o: in function `_local_bh_enable': softirq.c:(.text+0x504): undefined reference to `mcount' arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: kernel/softirq.o: in function `__local_bh_enable_ip': softirq.c:(.text+0x58c): undefined reference to `mcount' arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: kernel/softirq.o: in function `do_softirq': softirq.c:(.text+0x6c8): undefined reference to `mcount' arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: kernel/softirq.o: in function `irq_enter': softirq.c:(.text+0x75c): undefined reference to `mcount' arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: kernel/softirq.o: in function `irq_exit': softirq.c:(.text+0x840): undefined reference to `mcount' arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: kernel/softirq.o:softirq.c:(.text+0xa50): more undefined references to `mcount' follow clang can emit a working mcount symbol, __gnu_mcount_nc, when '-meabi gnu' is passed to it. Until r369147 in LLVM, this was broken and caused the kernel not to boot with '-pg' because the calling convention was not correct. Always build with '-meabi gnu' when using clang but ensure that '-pg' (which is added with CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER and its prereq CONFIG_HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACER) cannot be added with it unless this is fixed (which means using clang 10.0.0 and newer).

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.
