We don't want compiler instrumentation to touch noinstr functions, which are annotated with the no_profile_instrument_function function attribute. Add a Kconfig test for this and make GCOV depend on it, and in the future, PGO. If an architecture is using noinstr, it should denote that via this Kconfig value. That makes Kconfigs that depend on noinstr able to express dependencies in an architecturally agnostic way.

This option enables gcov-based code profiling (e.g. for code coverage
|
|
measurements).
|
|
|
|
If unsure, say N.
|
|
|
|
Additionally specify CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL=y to get profiling data
|
|
for the entire kernel. To enable profiling for specific files or
|
|
directories, add a line similar to the following to the respective
|
|
Makefile:
|
|
|
|
For a single file (e.g. main.o):
|
|
GCOV_PROFILE_main.o := y
|
|
|
|
For all files in one directory:
|
|
GCOV_PROFILE := y
|
|
|
|
To exclude files from being profiled even when CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL
|
|
is specified, use:
|
|
|
|
GCOV_PROFILE_main.o := n
|
|
and:
|
|
GCOV_PROFILE := n
|
|
|
|
Note that the debugfs filesystem has to be mounted to access
|
|
profiling data.

This options activates profiling for the entire kernel.

If unsure, say N.
|
|
|
|
Note that a kernel compiled with profiling flags will be significantly
|
|
larger and run slower. Also be sure to exclude files from profiling
|
|
which are not linked to the kernel image to prevent linker errors.
