Subject: [PATCH v2] gcov: Add support for checksum field

From: Rickard x Andersson <rickaran@...s.com>

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.

Fixes: 977ef30a7d88 ("gcov: support GCC 12.1 and newer compilers")
