gcov: add support for GCC 15

2025-11-24T09:30:06+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: shut up missing prototype warnings for internal stubs

2023-08-18T17:18:58+00:00

gcov uses global functions that are called from generated code, but these
have no prototype in a header, which causes a W=1 build warning:

kernel/gcov/gcc_base.c:12:6: error: no previous prototype for '__gcov_init' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
kernel/gcov/gcc_base.c:40:6: error: no previous prototype for '__gcov_flush' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]

kernel/gcov/gcc_base.c:52:6: error: no previous prototype for '__gcov_merge_single' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]

Just turn off these warnings unconditionally for the two files that
contain them.

gcov: add support for checksum field

2022-12-21T22:31:52+00:00

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

2022-11-23T02:50:41+00:00

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

2022-10-21T04:27:22+00:00

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: Remove compiler version check

The minimum supported version of LLVM has been raised to 11.0.0, meaning
this check is always true, so it can be dropped.

Kconfig: Introduce ARCH_WANTS_NO_INSTR and CC_HAS_NO_PROFILE_FN_ATTR

2021-06-22T18:07:18+00:00

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.

gcov: clang: drop support for clang-10 and older

2021-05-07T07:26:32+00:00

LLVM changed the expected function signatures for llvm_gcda_start_file()
and llvm_gcda_emit_function() in the clang-11 release.  Drop the older
implementations and require folks to upgrade their compiler if they're
interested in GCOV support.

gcov: use kvmalloc()

2021-05-07T07:26:32+00:00

Using vmalloc() in gcov is really quite wasteful, many of the objects
allocated are really small (e.g.  I've seen 24 bytes.) Use kvmalloc() to
automatically pick the better of kmalloc() or vmalloc() depending on the
size.
