[PATCH v3] kcov: properly check if we are in an interrupt

From: Andrey Konovalov
Date: Tue Oct 11 2016 - 11:06:08 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().

As a result of this change, kcov will start to collect coverage from
within local_bh_disable()/local_bh_enable() sections.
