Message-Id: <20211116024942.60644-2-yinan@linux.alibaba.com>

Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] scripts: ftrace - move the sort-processing in ftrace_init to compile time
When the kernel starts, the initialization of fTrace takes
up a portion of the time (approximately 6~8ms) to sort mcount
addresses. We can save this time by moving mcount-sorting to
compile time.
After communication with Patch V1, it is concluded that it is
more meaningful to sort mcount addresses in vmlinux during
compilation, which is not suitable for kernel module at present.
Patch V2 has adjusted some variable names and comments.
