Naveen N Rao b157987242 powerpc: Fail build if using recordmcount with binutils v2.37
commit 25ea739ea1d4d3de41acc4f4eb2d1a97eee0eb75 upstream.

binutils v2.37 drops unused section symbols, which prevents recordmcount
from capturing mcount locations in sections that have no non-weak
symbols. This results in a build failure with a message such as:
	Cannot find symbol for section 12: .text.perf_callchain_kernel.
	kernel/events/callchain.o: failed

The change to binutils was reverted for v2.38, so this behavior is
specific to binutils v2.37:
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commit;h=c09c8b42021180eee9495bd50d8b35e683d3901b

Objtool is able to cope with such sections, so this issue is specific to
recordmcount.

Fail the build and print a warning if binutils v2.37 is detected and if
we are using recordmcount.

README

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.
