This patchset is mainly to integrate gcov into kbuild system, so that

Also moves the useful scripts in gcov.txt into tools/gcov/ direcotry.
Interesting approach - this should definitely make it more easy for
developers to get coverage data for their code. A couple of
thoughts/observations:
Thanks!
- does not work when compiling with a separate build directory (make O=)
/sys/kernel/debug/gcov//mnt/out//mnt/linux-2.6.gcno:cannot open graph file
make[2]: *** [init/main.c.gcov] Error 1
make[1]: *** [init/main.c.gcov] Error 2
make: *** [sub-make] Error 2
This is most likely due to target_base_name being an absolute path
(relative to srctree) in case build and source directories are different.
Hmm, yeah, I will fix it.
- gcov call should use option -p, otherwise gcov may overwrite .gcov
files if a .c file includes two .h files from different directories.
Ok.
- an option to generate .gcov files for all .c files in a subdirectory
would be nice
Nice idea! I will add this.
Thank you, I will update and resend them!
