However, we still build the rest of the kcov infrastructure, and expose a kcov file under debugfs. This can be confusing, as the kernel will appear to support kcov, yet will never manage to sample any trace PC values. While we do note this fact at build time, this may be missed, and a user may not have access to build logs. This patch adds an artificial CONFIG symbol, CONFIG_KCOV_CC, that is only set when the toolchain supports -fsanitize-coverage=trace-pc, and hence the kernel is built with instrumentation. When this is not the case, the kernel will return -ENOTSUPP if userspace attempts to open the kcov debugfs file, indicating that kcov functionality is unavailable.
