Following the suggestions from Andrew Morton and Stephen Rothwell, Dont expand the ARCH list in kernel/gcov/Kconfig. Instead, define a ARCH_HAS_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL bool which architectures can enable. set ARCH_HAS_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL on Architectures where it was previously allowed + ARM64 which I tested.

This option enables gcov-based code profiling (e.g. for code coverage
|
|
measurements).
|
|
|
|
If unsure, say N.
|
|
|
|
Additionally specify CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL=y to get profiling data
|
|
for the entire kernel. To enable profiling for specific files or
|
|
directories, add a line similar to the following to the respective
|
|
Makefile:
|
|
|
|
For a single file (e.g. main.o):
|
|
GCOV_PROFILE_main.o := y
|
|
|
|
For all files in one directory:
|
|
GCOV_PROFILE := y
|
|
|
|
To exclude files from being profiled even when CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL
|
|
is specified, use:
|
|
|
|
GCOV_PROFILE_main.o := n
|
|
and:
|
|
GCOV_PROFILE := n
|
|
|
|
Note that the debugfs filesystem has to be mounted to access
|
|
profiling data.

If unsure, say N.
|
|

Note that a kernel compiled with profiling flags will be significantly
|
|
larger and run slower. Also be sure to exclude files from profiling
|
|
which are not linked to the kernel image to prevent linker errors.

---help---
|
|
The gcov format is usually determined by the GCC version, but there are
|
|
exceptions where format changes are integrated in lower-version GCCs.
|
|
In such a case use this option to adjust the format used in the kernel
|
|
accordingly.
|
|
|
|
If unsure, choose "Autodetect".
|
