Masahiro Yamada 90ad4052e8 kbuild: avoid conflict between -ffunction-sections and -pg on gcc-4.7
Arnd Bergmann reported:
  "When ftrace is enabled and we build with gcc-4.7 or older, we
  get a warning for each file on architectures that select
  CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION:

  warning: -ffunction-sections disabled; it makes profiling impossible [enabled by default]
  "

Since commit c3f0d0bc5b ("kbuild, LLVMLinux: Add -Werror to
cc-option to support clang"), warnings are treated as errors in
cc-option checks.  CC_FLAGS_FTRACE is blindly added to KBUILD_CFLAGS,
so $(call cc-option,-ffunction-sections,) should be moved below it
in order to detect the conflict between the two options.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
