kcov: ignore fault-inject and stacktrace
Don't instrument 3 more files that contain debugging facilities and produce large amounts of uninteresting coverage for every syscall. The following snippets are sprinkled all over the place in kcov traces in a debugging kernel. We already try to disable instrumentation of stack unwinding code and of most debug facilities. I guess we did not use fault-inject.c at the time, and stacktrace.c was somehow missed (or something has changed in kernel/configs). This change both speeds up kcov (kernel doesn't need to store these PCs, user-space doesn't need to process them) and frees trace buffer capacity for more useful coverage. should_fail lib/fault-inject.c:149 fail_dump lib/fault-inject.c:45 stack_trace_save kernel/stacktrace.c:124 stack_trace_consume_entry kernel/stacktrace.c:86 stack_trace_consume_entry kernel/stacktrace.c:89 ... a hundred frames skipped ... stack_trace_consume_entry kernel/stacktrace.c:93 stack_trace_consume_entry kernel/stacktrace.c:86 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200116111449.217744-1-dvyukov@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Dmitry Vyukov <dvyukov@google.com> Reviewed-by: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
