gcov: enable GCOV_PROFILE_ALL from ARCH Kconfigs

2014-12-13T20:42:51+00:00

Following the suggestions from Andrew Morton and Stephen Rothwell,
Dont expand the ARCH list in kernel/gcov/Kconfig. Instead,
define a ARCH_HAS_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL bool which architectures
can enable.

set ARCH_HAS_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL on Architectures where it was
previously allowed + ARM64 which I tested.

gcov: add ARM64 to GCOV_PROFILE_ALL

2014-10-29T23:33:14+00:00

Following up the arm testing of gcov, turns out gcov on ARM64 works fine
as well.  Only change needed is adding ARM64 to Kconfig depends.

Tested with qemu and mach-virt

ARM: 8153/1: Enable gcov support on the ARM architecture

2014-09-26T13:39:57+00:00

Enable gcov support for ARM based on original patches by David
Singleton and George G. Davis

Riku - updated to patch to current mainline kernel. The patch
has been submitted in 2010, 2012 - for symmetry, now in 2014 too.

kernel/gcov: remove depends on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL

2013-01-11T19:39:33+00:00

The CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL config item has not carried much meaning for a
while now and is almost always enabled by default. As agreed during the
Linux kernel summit, remove it from any "depends on" lines in Kconfigs.

gcov: disable CONSTRUCTORS for UML

2011-07-26T23:49:45+00:00

Selecting GCOV for UML causing configuration mismatch:

  warning: (GCOV_KERNEL) selects CONSTRUCTORS which has unmet direct dependencies (!UML)

Constructors are not needed for UML.

gcov: disable CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS when not needed by CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL

2011-06-16T03:04:01+00:00

CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS controls support for running constructor functions at
kernel init time.  According to commit b99b87f70c7785ab ("kernel:
constructor support"), gcov (CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL) needs this.  However,
CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS currently defaults to y, with no option to disable it,
and CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL depends on it.  Instead, default it to n and have
CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL select it, so that the normal case of
CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL=n will result in CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS=n.

Observed in the short list of =y values in a minimal kernel configuration.

sh: Enable CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL for sh

2011-02-15T07:47:17+00:00

This patch enables gcov kernel profiling over the whole kernel for sh.
Profiling of specific files individually already worked. A handful of
files have to be explicitly excluded from the profiling to avoid
breaking things, notably pmb.c.

powerpc: Enable GCOV

Make it possible to enable GCOV code coverage measurement on powerpc.

Lightly tested on 64-bit, seems to work as expected.
