CONFIG_GCOV_FORMAT_AUTODETECT compiles either gcc_3_4.c or gcc_4_7.c according to your GCC version. We can achieve the equivalent behavior by setting reasonable dependency with the knowledge of the compiler version. If GCC older than 4.7 is used, GCOV_FORMAT_3_4 is the default, but users are still allowed to select GCOV_FORMAT_4_7 in case the newer format is back-ported. On the other hand, If GCC 4.7 or newer is used, there is no reason to use GCOV_FORMAT_3_4, so it should be hidden. If you downgrade the compiler to GCC 4.7 or older, oldconfig/syncconfig will display a prompt for the choice because GCOV_FORMAT_3_4 becomes visible as a new symbol.

This option enables gcov-based code profiling (e.g. for code coverage
|
|
measurements).
|
|
|
|
If unsure, say N.
|
|
|
|
Additionally specify CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL=y to get profiling data
|
|
for the entire kernel. To enable profiling for specific files or
|
|
directories, add a line similar to the following to the respective
|
|
Makefile:
|
|
|
|
For a single file (e.g. main.o):
|
|
GCOV_PROFILE_main.o := y
|
|
|
|
For all files in one directory:
|
|
GCOV_PROFILE := y
|
|
|
|
To exclude files from being profiled even when CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL
|
|
is specified, use:
|
|
|
|
GCOV_PROFILE_main.o := n
|
|
and:
|
|
GCOV_PROFILE := n
|
|
|
|
Note that the debugfs filesystem has to be mounted to access
|
|
profiling data.

which are not linked to the kernel image to prevent linker errors.

---help---
|

The gcov format is usually determined by the GCC version, and the
|
|
default is chosen according to your GCC version. However, there are
|
|
exceptions where format changes are integrated in lower-version GCCs.
|
|
In such a case, change this option to adjust the format used in the
|
|
kernel accordingly.
