[PATCH v2] kcov: properly check if we are in an interrupt
From: Andrey Konovalov
Date: Mon Oct 10 2016 - 12:19:40 EST
in_interrupt() returns a nonzero value when we are either in an
interrupt or have bh disabled via local_bh_disable(). Since we are
interested in only ignoring coverage from actual interrupts, do a
proper check instead of just calling in_interrupt().

Changes in v2:
- Add a comment explaining why the check is open-coded.

/*
* We are interested in code coverage as a function of a syscall inputs,
* so we ignore code executed in interrupts.
+ * The checks for whether we are in an interrupt are open-coded, because
+ * 1. We can't use in_interrupt() here, since it also returns true
+ * when we are inside local_bh_disable() section.
+ * 2. We don't want to use (in_irq() | in_serving_softirq() | in_nmi()),
+ * since that leads to slower generated code (three separate tests,
+ * one for each of the flags).
