[PATCH 0/4] gcov kernel support

From: Peter Oberparleiter
Date: Tue May 19 2009 - 10:26:20 EST


This patchset implements support for performing kernel code coverage
measurements based on gcc's gcov mechanism. It can be used to improve
kernel code quality by identifying code parts which are not exercised
during test cases. Patch base is 2.6.30-rc6.

Patch feedback has been integrated. There were no further comments
since the last version. In my opinion this patchset is ready for
inclusion into the -mm tree.

Patch overview:
[PATCH 1/4] kernel: constructor support
[PATCH 2/4] seq_file: add function to write binary data
[PATCH 3/4] gcov: add gcov profiling infrastructure
[PATCH 4/4] gcov: enable GCOV_PROFILE_ALL for x86_64
