From: Dmitry Vyukov <dvyukov@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: kcov: simplify interrupt check in_interrupt() semantics are confusing and wrong for most users as it also returns true when bh is disabled. Thus we open coded a proper check for interrupts in __sanitizer_cov_trace_pc() with a lengthy explanatory comment. Use the new in_task() predicate instead.
