With GCOV_PROFILE_ALL, Clang injects __llvm_gcov_* functions to each object file, including the *.mod.o. As we filter out CC_FLAGS_CFI for *.mod.o, the compiler won't generate type hashes for the injected functions, and therefore indirectly calling them during module loading trips indirect call checking. Enabling CFI for *.mod.o isn't sufficient to fix this issue after commit 0c3e806ec0f9 ("x86/cfi: Add boot time hash randomization"), as *.mod.o aren't processed by objtool, which means any hashes emitted there won't be randomized. Therefore, in addition to disabling CFI for *.mod.o, also disable GCOV, as the object files don't otherwise contain any executable code.
