Naveen N Rao ea73179e64 powerpc/ftrace: Ignore ftrace locations in exit text sections
Michael reported that we are seeing an ftrace bug on bootup when KASAN
is enabled and we are using -fpatchable-function-entry:

  ftrace: allocating 47780 entries in 18 pages

With CONFIG_FTRACE_MCOUNT_USE_PATCHABLE_FUNCTION_ENTRY=y and
CONFIG_KASAN=y, compiler emits nops in functions that it generates for
registering and unregistering global variables (unlike with -pg and
-mprofile-kernel where calls to _mcount() are not generated in those
functions). Those functions then end up in INIT_TEXT and EXIT_TEXT
respectively. We don't expect to see any profiled functions in
EXIT_TEXT, so ftrace_init_nop() assumes that all addresses that aren't
in the core kernel text belongs to a module. Since these functions do
not match that criteria, we see the above bug.

Address this by having ftrace ignore all locations in the text exit
sections of vmlinux.

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.
