2011-07-26gcov: disable CONSTRUCTORS for UMLVitaliy Ivanov
Selecting GCOV for UML causing configuration mismatch: warning: (GCOV_KERNEL) selects CONSTRUCTORS which has unmet direct dependencies (!UML) Constructors are not needed for UML.

2011-06-15gcov: disable CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS when not needed by CONFIG_GCOV_KERNELJosh Triplett
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.

2011-02-15sh: Enable CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL for shChris Smith
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.

Make it possible to enable GCOV code coverage measurement on powerpc. Lightly tested on 64-bit, seems to work as expected. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <michael@ellerman.id.au> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2009-06-18gcov: enable GCOV_PROFILE_ALL for x86_64Peter Oberparleiter
Enable gcov profiling of the entire kernel on x86_64. Required changes include disabling profiling for: * arch/kernel/acpi/realmode and arch/kernel/boot/compressed: not linked to main kernel * arch/vdso, arch/kernel/vsyscall_64 and arch/kernel/hpet: profiling causes segfaults during boot (incompatible context) Signed-off-by: Peter Oberparleiter <oberpar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Cc: Huang Ying <ying.huang@intel.com> Cc: Li Wei <W.Li@Sun.COM> Cc: Michael Ellerman <michaele@au1.ibm.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Heiko Carstens <heicars2@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <mschwid2@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: WANG Cong <xiyou.wangcong@gmail.com> Cc: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Cc: Jeff Dike <jdike@addtoit.com> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2009-06-18gcov: add gcov profiling infrastructurePeter Oberparleiter
Enable the use of GCC's coverage testing tool gcov [1] with the Linux kernel. gcov may be useful for: * debugging (has this code been reached at all?) * test improvement (how do I change my test to cover these lines?) * minimizing kernel configurations (do I need this option if the associated code is never run?) The profiling patch incorporates the following changes: * change kbuild to include profiling flags * provide functions needed by profiling code * present profiling data as files in debugfs Note that on some architectures, enabling gcc's profiling option "-fprofile-arcs" for the entire kernel may trigger compile/link/ run-time problems, some of which are caused by toolchain bugs and others which require adjustment of architecture code. For this reason profiling the entire kernel is initially restricted to those architectures for which it is known to work without changes. This restriction can be lifted once an architecture has been tested and found compatible with gcc's profiling. Profiling of single files or directories is still available on all platforms (see config help text).
