From: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@xxxxxxxxxx> The kernel compiled with GCC 10.2.1 and KASAN together with GCOV enabled produces the following splats while reloading modules. First splat [1] is generated due to the situation that gcov_info can be both user and kernel pointer, the memcpy() during kmemdup() causes to this. As a possible solution copy fields manually. Second splat [2] is seen because n_function provided by GCC through __gcov_init() is ridiculously high, in my case it was 2698213824. IMHO it means that this field is not initialized, but I'm not sure.
