mode isn't used here, right? No need for it then.

No, it's not. However, check_kcov_mode() needs it. Dmitry suggested passing a pointer to check_kcov_mode(), and let the optimizer do the rest.

Let's put this code under KCOV_INIT_UNIQUE in the switch. This
internal if only saves duplicating two lines of code, which isn't
worth it.
So. Shall I skip the fallthrough and move 'my' code upwards?
