ARM: 6314/1: ftrace: allow build without frame pointers on ARM
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
With a new enough GCC, ARM function tracing can be supported without the
need for frame pointers.  This is essential for Thumb-2 support, since
frame pointers aren't available then.
