[PATCH RFC 1/3] kcov: remote coverage support

[Andrey Konovalov]

Currently kcov can only collect coverage for syscalls that are issued
from the current process. This patch adds support for KCOV_REMOTE_ENABLE,
that makes it possible to collect coverage for arbitrary parts of the
kernel code, provided that this part is annotated with kcov_remote_start
and kcov_remote_stop.

This allows to collect coverage from two types of kernel background
threads: the global ones, that are spawned during kernel boot and are
always running (e.g. USB hub_event); and the local ones, that are spawned
when a user interacts with some kernel interfaces (e.g. vhost).

To enable collecting coverage from a global background thread, a unique
global id must be assigned and passed to the corresponding
kcov_remote_start annotation call. Then a userspace process can pass this
id to the KCOV_REMOTE_ENABLE ioctl in the handles array field of the
kcov_remote_arg struct. This will attach kcov device to the code section,
that is referenced by this id. Multiple ids can be targeted with the same
kcov device simultaneously.

Since there might be many local background threads spawned from different
userspace processes, we can't use a single global id per annotation.
Instead, the userspace process passes an id through the common_handle
field of the kcov_remote_arg struct. This id gets saved to the kcov_handle
field in the current task_struct and needs to be passed to the newly
spawned threads via custom annotations. Those threads should be in turn
annotated with kcov_remote_start/kcov_remote_stop.

+Remote coverage collection
+--------------------------
+
+With KCOV_ENABLE coverage is collected only for syscalls that are issued from
+the current process. With KCOV_REMOTE_ENABLE it's possible to collect coverage
+for arbitrary parts of the kernel code, provided that this part is annotated
+with kcov_remote_start/kcov_remote_stop.
+
+This allows to collect coverage from two types of kernel background threads:
+the global ones, that are spawned during kernel boot and are always running
+(e.g. USB hub_event); and the local ones, that are spawned when a user
+interacts with some kernel interfaces (e.g. vhost).
+
+To enable collecting coverage from a global background thread, a unique global
+id must be assigned and passed to the corresponding kcov_remote_start annotation
+call. Then a userspace process can pass this id to the KCOV_REMOTE_ENABLE ioctl
+in the handles array field of the kcov_remote_arg struct. This will attach kcov
+device to the code section, that is referenced by this id. Multiple ids can be
+targeted with the same kcov device simultaneously.
+
+Since there might be many local background threads spawned from different
+userspace processes, we can't use a single global id per annotation. Instead,
+the userspace process passes an id through the common_handle field of the
+kcov_remote_arg struct. This id gets saved to the kcov_handle field in the
+current task_struct and needs to be passed to the newly spawned threads via
+custom annotations. Those threads should be in turn annotated with
+kcov_remote_start/kcov_remote_stop.
