[PATCH 6/6] ftrace: Revert the FTRACE_MCOUNT_MAX_OFFSET workaround

Thu Jun 13 23:37:11 AEST 2024


After patch titled "ftrace: Skip invalid __fentry__ in
ftrace_process_locs()", __fentry__ locations in overridden weak function
have been checked and skipped, then all records in ftrace_pages are
valid, the FTRACE_MCOUNT_MAX_OFFSET workaround can be reverted, include:
 1. commit b39181f7c690 ("ftrace: Add FTRACE_MCOUNT_MAX_OFFSET to avoid
    adding weak function")
 2. commit 7af82ff90a2b ("powerpc/ftrace: Ignore weak functions")
 3. commit f6834c8c59a8 ("powerpc/ftrace: Fix dropping weak symbols with
    older toolchains")
