[PATCH] init/module: split CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS to fix module gcov on UML

[Johannes Berg]

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

On ARCH=um, loading a module doesn't result in its constructors
getting called, which breaks module gcov since the debugfs files
are never registered. On the other hand, in-kernel constructors
have already been called by the dynamic linker, so we can't call
them again.

Get out of this conundrum by splitting CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS into
CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS_KERNEL and CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS_MODULE, both
of which are enabled by default if CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS is turned
on, but CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS_KERNEL depends on !UML so that it's
not used on ARCH=um.

Also remove the "if !UML" from GCOV selecting CONSTRUCTORS now,
since we really do want CONSTRUCTORS, just not kernel binary
ones.

Tested with a kernel configured with CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL, without
the patch nothing ever appears in /sys/kernel/debug/gcov/ (apart
from the reset file), and with it we get the files and they work.

I have no idea which tree this might go through, any suggestions?
