Until now no compiler supported an attribute to disable coverage
instrumentation as used by KCOV.
To work around this limitation on x86, noinstr functions have their
coverage instrumentation turned into nops by objtool. However, this
solution doesn't scale automatically to other architectures, such as
arm64, which are migrating to use the generic entry code.
Clang [1] and GCC [2] have added support for the attribute recently.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
