Do we want to define -pg even when -mprofile-kernel is not supported
by the used gcc, please?

IMHO, we should not define CC_USING_MPROFILE_KERNEL if it is not
supported by the compiler.

I took inspiration from the CC_USING_FENTRY handling in
linux/Makefile. The following code worked for me:

CC_USING_MPROFILE_KERNEL := $(call cc-option, -pg -mprofile-kernel -DCC_USING_MPROFILE_KERNEL)
CC_FLAGS_FTRACE := $(CC_USING_MPROFILE_KERNEL)
KBUILD_CPPFLAGS += $(CC_USING_MPROFILE_KERNEL)

I just do not understand why we need to add the flags also
to KBUILD_CPPFLAGS. It seems that they are duplicated
when compiling kernel/livepatch/core.o. But livepatching
did not work without it. I wonder if you found the culprit.

Best Regards,
Petr
