Sami Tolvanen b588efc6c0 BACKPORT: recordmcount: support >64k sections
When compiling a kernel with Clang and LTO, we need to run
recordmcount on vmlinux.o with a large number of sections, which
currently fails as the program doesn't understand extended
section indexes. This change adds support for processing binaries
with >64k sections.

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 Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
