It behaves differently with different gcc, as some support mfentry,
while others only use mcount. gcc 6.3.0 should be using mfentry. I'm
testing with 6.2, a build I made myself.

Just to confirm, you are running the 4.12-rc4 ftracetests on a 4.12-rc4
kernel and getting this error? Or are you running a different version
of ftracetest or a different version of the kernel?
