Clang emits calls to mcount for -pg on sparc64, while the existing ftrace support only exports the _mcount name. With FUNCTION_TRACER enabled, modules can therefore keep relocations against mcount and fail during modpost: ERROR: modpost: "mcount" [arch/sparc/kernel/chmc.ko] undefined! _mcount and mcount are aliases in arch/sparc/lib/mcount.S. Export the plain mcount alias as well so Clang-built modules can resolve their profiling call target.
