[PATCH 4/4] x86: Ignore stack unwinding in KCOV
From: Dmitry Vyukov
Date: Tue Jun 04 2024 - 09:46:53 EST
Stack unwinding produces large amounts of uninteresting coverage.
It's called from KASAN kmalloc/kfree hooks, fault injection, etc.
It's not particularly useful and is not a function of system call args.
Ignore that code.
