Subject: [PATCH 5/7] gcov: add gcov profiling infrastructure
From: Peter Oberparleiter <peter.oberparleiter@...ibm.com>
gcov profiling infrastructure:
* change kbuild to include profiling flags
* provide functions needed by profiling code
* present profiling data as files in debugfs

+
+ For all files in one directory:

+
+ To exclude files from being profiled even when CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL

+Using gcov with the Linux kernel
+================================
+
+1. Introduction
+2. Preparation
+3. Customization
+4. Files
+5. Modules
+
+
+1. Introduction
+===============
+
+gcov profiling kernel support enables the use of GCC's coverage testing
+tool gcov [1] with the Linux kernel. Coverage data of a running kernel
+is exported in gcov-compatible format via the "gcov "debugfs directory.
+To get coverage data for a specific file, simply use gcov with the -o
+option while running as root:
+
+# gcov -o /sys/kernel/debug/gcov/tmp/linux/kernel spinlock.c
+
+This will create source code files annotated with execution counts
+in the current directory. In addition, graphical gcov front-ends such
+as lcov [2] can be used to automate the process of collecting data
+for the entire kernel and provide coverage overviews in HTML format.
+
+Possible uses:
+
+* debugging (has this line been executed 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 executed?)
+
+
+2. Preparation
+==============
+
+Configure the kernel with:
+
+ CONFIG_DEBUGFS=y
+ CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE=y
+
+To get coverage data for the entire kernel:
+
+ CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL=y
+
+Note that kernels compiled with profiling flags will be significantly
+larger and run slower.
+
+Profiling data will only become accessible once debugfs has been
+mounted:
+
+ mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug
+
+
+3. Customization
+================
+
+To enable profiling for specific files or directories, add a line
+similar to the following to the respective kernel Makefile:
+
+ For a single file (e.g. main.o):
+ GCOV_main.o := y
+
+ For all files in one directory:
+ GCOV := y
+
+ To exclude files from being profiled even when
+ CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL is specified, use:
+
+ GCOV_main.o := n
+ and:
+ GCOV := n
+
+Only files which are linked to the main kernel image or are compiled as
+kernel modules are supported by this mechanism.
+
+
+4. Files
+========
+
+The gcov kernel support creates the following files in debugfs:
+
+ /sys/kernel/debug/gcov
+ Parent directory for all gcov-related files.
+
+ /sys/kernel/debug/gcov/reset
+ Global reset file: resets all coverage data to zero when
+ written to.
+
+ /sys/kernel/debug/gcov/path/to/compile/dir/file.gcda
+ The actual gcov data file as understood by the gcov
+ tool. Resets file coverage data to zero when written to.
+
+ /sys/kernel/debug/gcov/path/to/compile/dir/file.gcno
+ Symbolic link to a static data file required by the gcov
+ tool. This file is generated by gcc when compiling with
+ option -ftest-coverage.
+
+ /sys/kernel/debug/gcov/path/to/compile/dir/file.c
+ Symbolic link to the source code as required by the gcov
+ tool.
+
+
+5. Modules
+==========
+
+Kernel modules may contain cleanup code which is only executed during
+module unload time. The gcov mechanism provides a means to collect
+coverage data for such code by keeping a copy of the data associated
+with the unloaded module. This data remains available through debugfs.
+Once the module is loaded again, the associated coverage counters are
+initialized with the data from its previous instantiation.
+
+This behavior can be deactivated by specifying the gcov_persist kernel
+parameter:
+
+ gcov_persist=0
+
+At run-time, a user can also choose to discard data for an unloaded
+module by writing to its data file or the global reset file.
