The code inserted by output_function_profiler clobbers the lr register, causing
the function to jump back to the beginning of the function when it returns.

        .globl hello
        .type   hello, @function
hello:
        mflr 0
        stw 0,4(1)
        bl _mcount
        stwu 1,-16(1)
        mflr 0            <-- lr already clobbered by bl
        stw 31,12(1)
        stw 0,20(1)
