ARM 64 uses -fpatchable-function-entry=4,2 which adds padding before the function and the addresses in the mcount_loc point there instead of the function entry that is returned by nm. In order to find a function from nm to make sure it's not an unused weak function, the entries in the mcount_loc section needs to match the entries from nm. Since it can be an instruction before the entry, add a before_func variable that ARM 64 can set to 8, and if the mcount_loc entry is within 8 bytes of the nm function entry, then it will be considered a match.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
