[ARM] 5418/1: restore lr before leaving mcount
gcc seems to expect that lr isn't clobbered by mcount, because for a function starting with: static int func(void) { void *ra = __builtin_return_address(0); printk(KERN_EMERG "__builtin_return_address(0) = %pS\n", ra) ... the following assembler is generated by gcc 4.3.2: 0: e1a0c00d mov ip, sp 4: e92dd810 push {r4, fp, ip, lr, pc} 8: e24cb004 sub fp, ip, #4 ; 0x4 c: ebfffffe bl 0 <mcount> 10: e59f0034 ldr r0, [pc, #52] 14: e1a0100e mov r1, lr 18: ebfffffe bl 0 <printk> Without this patch obviously __builtin_return_address(0) yields func+0x10 instead of the return address of the caller. Note this patch fixes a similar issue for the routines used with dynamic ftrace even though this isn't currently selectable for ARM.
