Hi, Anton Blanchard proposed a fix to his own bug report in https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=63354, but never submitted the patch upstream. I've added a formal test case and am submitting on his behalf.
The patch simply ensures that we don't stack a frame for leaf procedures when called with -pg -mprofile-kernel. The automatically generated calls to _mcount occur prior to the prolog and do not require us to stack a frame. Bootstrapped and tested on powerpc64le-unknown-linux-gnu with no regressions. Is this ok for trunk?
