lkdtm_rodata_do_nothing() is an empty function which is generated in order to test the non-executability of rodata. Currently if function tracing is enabled then an mcount callsite will be generated for lkdtm_rodata_do_nothing(), and it will appear in the list of available functions for function tracing (available_filter_functions). Given it's purpose purely as a test function, it seems preferable for lkdtm_rodata_do_nothing() to be marked notrace, so it doesn't appear as traceable. This also avoids triggering a linker bug on powerpc: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20428 When the linker sees code that needs to generate a call stub, eg. a branch to mcount(), it assumes the section is executable and dereferences a NULL pointer leading to a linker segfault. Marking lkdtm_rodata_do_nothing() notrace avoids triggering the bug because the function contains no other function calls.
