The patch titled
Subject: sched/core / kcov: avoid kcov_area during task switch
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
sched-core-kcov-avoid-kcov_area-during-task-switch.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

From: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@xxxxxxx>
Subject: sched/core / kcov: avoid kcov_area during task switch
During a context switch, we first switch_mm() to the next task's mm, then
switch_to() that new task. This means that vmalloc'd regions which had
previously been faulted in can transiently disappear in the context of the
prev task.
Functions instrumented by KCOV may try to access a vmalloc'd kcov_area
during this window, and as the fault handling code is instrumented, this
results in a recursive fault.
We must avoid accessing any kcov_area during this window. We can do so
with a new flag in kcov_mode, set prior to switching the mm, and cleared
once the new task is live. Since task_struct::kcov_mode isn't always a
specific enum kcov_mode value, this is made an unsigned int.
The manipulation is hidden behind kcov_{prepare,finish}_switch() helpers,
which are empty for !CONFIG_KCOV kernels.
The code uses macros because I can't use static inline functions without a
circular include dependency between <linux/sched.h> and <linux/kcov.h>,
since the definition of task_struct uses things defined in <linux/kcov.h>
