kbuild: Disable GCOV for *.mod.o
[ Upstream commit 25a21fbb934a0d989e1858f83c2ddf4cfb2ebe30 ]
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.
Fixes: cf68fffb66d6 ("add support for Clang CFI")
