Accidental extra lines?

I would add a clarifying comment here saying something like:

/* All other commands are handled by kcov_ioctl_locked(). */

> +               spin_lock_irqsave(&kcov->lock, flags);

Please split this change into two patches:

1. Add kcov_ioctl_unlocked() that handles KCOV_INIT_TRACE special case
without any functional changes.
2. Functional changes to kcov_ioctl_unlocked() and other parts of code.

Otherwise reviewing is a bit hard.
