This works only for x86-64.
Probably there is no simple way to make this arch-independent with
32-bit values.

Could be just 'unsigned'

So, these fields above are duplicates the same fields from kcov struct.
Consider embedding kcov struct (since it's relatively small) into task_struct.

New directory for just one file seems like overkill.

Just say what fields are protected by this lock. Comment bellow looks
unrelated to the lock itself,
I think it should be somewhere else.

Note that this works only for cache-coherent architectures.
For incoherent arches you'll need to flush_dcache_page() somewhere.
Perhaps it could be done on exit to userspace, since flushing here is
certainly an overkill.

WARN_ON please. It's not a fatal condition, so you should not kill the
machine here..

And please and reconsider other BUG_ONs too.
Use BUG/BUG_ON iff you can't do anything but killing machine.

Add kcov_get(struct kcov *) helper. It much better pairs with kcov_put().

This comment doesn't bring any valuable information.

Use constants/defines with some meaningful name.
And for the last condition: !is_power_of_2(arg).
BTW why it has to be power of 2?
