If PGO is enabled, the purgatory ends up with multiple .text sections.
This is not supported by kexec and crashes the system.

With the caveat of not being au fait with the workings of either PGO or
of purgatory, how come you modify KBUILD_CFLAGS here rather than the
purgatory specific PURGATORY_CFLAGS that are used later in the file?
Cheers,
Conor.

Definitely, not a Makefile expert here, but when I tried this:
@@ -35,6 +40,7 @@ PURGATORY_CFLAGS_REMOVE := -mcmodel=kernel
PURGATORY_CFLAGS := -mcmodel=large -ffreestanding
-fno-zero-initialized-in-bss -g0
PURGATORY_CFLAGS += $(DISABLE_STACKLEAK_PLUGIN) -DDISABLE_BRANCH_PROFILING
PURGATORY_CFLAGS += -fno-stack-protector
+PURGATORY_CFLAGS := $(filter-out -fprofile-sample-use=%
-fprofile-use=%,$(KBUILD_CFLAGS))
It did not work.
Fixes: bde971a83bbf ("KVM: arm64: nvhe: Fix build with profile optimization")
does this approach, so this is what I tried and worked.
Thanks!

Unfortunately I am oh-so-far from an expert on this kind of thing, but I
had thought that PURGATORY_CFLAGS_REMOVE was intended for this sort of
purpose.

That doesn't have a specific CFLAGS though afaict.
Perhaps Nick etc have a more informed opinion here than I do, sorry.

Hi Ricardo,
Thanks for the series. Does this patch 4/4 need a new online commit
description? It's not adding a linker script (maybe an earlier version
was).

Thanks,

Hi Nick
Thanks for catching this. It should have said
risc/purgatory: Remove profile optimization flags
Will fix it on my local branch in case there is a next version of the
series. Otherwise, please the maintainer fix the subject.
Thanks!

Perhaps with the omitted v added too?
Also while playing the $subject nitpicking game, is it not called
"profile**-guided** optimisation" (and ditto in the comments)?

Hi Conor
Fixed on my branch
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ribalda/linux.git/commit/?h=b4/kexec_clang16&id=1e9cda9fa638cc72581986f60b490cc069a38f75
Will submit a new version after a while :)
Thanks!
