gcov: add support for GCC 15

2025-12-03T11:45:19+00:00

commit ec4d11fc4b2dd4a2fa8c9d801ee9753b74623554 upstream.

Using gcov on kernels compiled with GCC 15 results in truncated 16-byte
long .gcda files with no usable data.  To fix this, update GCOV_COUNTERS
to match the value defined by GCC 15.

Tested with GCC 14.3.0 and GCC 15.2.0.

gcov: add support for checksum field

2023-01-18T10:41:42+00:00

commit e96b95c2b7a63a454b6498e2df67aac14d046d13 upstream.

In GCC version 12.1 a checksum field was added.

This patch fixes a kernel crash occurring during boot when using
gcov-kernel with GCC version 12.2.  The crash occurred on a system running
on i.MX6SX.

gcov: clang: fix the buffer overflow issue

2022-12-08T10:23:00+00:00

commit a6f810efabfd789d3bbafeacb4502958ec56c5ce upstream.

Currently, in clang version of gcov code when module is getting removed
gcov_info_add() incorrectly adds the sfn_ptr->counter to all the
dst->functions and it result in the kernel panic in below crash report.
Fix this by properly handling it.

gcov: support GCC 12.1 and newer compilers

2022-10-26T11:22:20+00:00

commit 977ef30a7d888eeb52fb6908f99080f33e5309a8 upstream.

Starting with GCC 12.1, the created .gcda format can't be read by gcov
tool.  There are 2 significant changes to the .gcda file format that
need to be supported:

a) [gcov: Use system IO buffering]
   (23eb66d1d46a34cb28c4acbdf8a1deb80a7c5a05) changed that all sizes in
   the format are in bytes and not in words (4B)

b) [gcov: make profile merging smarter]
   (72e0c742bd01f8e7e6dcca64042b9ad7e75979de) add a new checksum to the
   file header.

Tested with GCC 7.5, 10.4, 12.2 and the current master.

gcov: re-fix clang-11+ support

2021-04-14T06:24:10+00:00

commit 9562fd132985ea9185388a112e50f2a51557827d upstream.

LLVM changed the expected function signature for llvm_gcda_emit_function()
in the clang-11 release.  Users of clang-11 or newer may have noticed
their kernels producing invalid coverage information:

  $ llvm-cov gcov -a -c -u -f -b .gcda -- gcno=.gcno
  1 : checksum mismatch, \
    (, ) != (, )
  2 Invalid .gcda File!
  ...

Fix up the function signatures so calling this function interprets its
parameters correctly and computes the correct cfg checksum.  In
particular, in clang-11, the additional checksum is no longer optional.

gcov: fix clang-11+ support

commit 60bcf728ee7c60ac2a1f9a0eaceb3a7b3954cd2b upstream.

LLVM changed the expected function signatures for llvm_gcda_start_file()
and llvm_gcda_emit_function() in the clang-11 release.  Users of
clang-11 or newer may have noticed their kernels failing to boot due to
a panic when enabling CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL=y +CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL=y.
Fix up the function signatures so calling these functions doesn't panic
the kernel.

gcov: add support for GCC 10.1

2020-09-17T11:47:56+00:00

[ Upstream commit 40249c6962075c040fd071339acae524f18bfac9 ]

Using gcov to collect coverage data for kernels compiled with GCC 10.1
causes random malfunctions and kernel crashes.  This is the result of a
changed GCOV_COUNTERS value in GCC 10.1 that causes a mismatch between
the layout of the gcov_info structure created by GCC profiling code and
the related structure used by the kernel.

Fix this by updating the in-kernel GCOV_COUNTERS value.  Also re-enable
config GCOV_KERNEL for use with GCC 10.

gcov: Disable gcov build with GCC 10

2020-09-17T11:47:49+00:00

[ Upstream commit cfc905f158eaa099d6258031614d11869e7ef71c ]

GCOV built with GCC 10 doesn't initialize n_function variable.  This
produces different kernel panics as was seen by Colin in Ubuntu and me
in FC 32.

As a workaround, let's disable GCOV build for broken GCC 10 version.
