Does anyone build parisc allmodconfig from -next?

parisc seems to always use -fpatchable-function-entry with dynamic
ftrace, so we just need to select
FTRACE_MCOUNT_USE_PATCHABLE_FUNCTION_ENTRY to stop it from defaulting
to recordmcount:

diff --git a/arch/parisc/Kconfig b/arch/parisc/Kconfig
index ecef9aff9d72..9ee806f68123 100644
--- a/arch/parisc/Kconfig
+++ b/arch/parisc/Kconfig
@@ -60,6 +60,7 @@ config PARISC
        select HAVE_KPROBES
        select HAVE_KRETPROBES
        select HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE if
$(cc-option,-fpatchable-function-entry=1,1)
+       select FTRACE_MCOUNT_USE_PATCHABLE_FUNCTION_ENTRY if HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE
        select HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD if HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE
        select HAVE_KPROBES_ON_FTRACE
        select HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS

I'll send a proper patch shortly.
