[PATCH] gcov: Support for >=gcc-6 missing

Show all headers | View raw

Hello!

I've noticed problems ("not executed"/ "file empty") with the gcov
kernel support, when I'm using a gcc version >=6.
For me, it seems like this is no technical reason, gcc 6 just was
forgotten in the #ifdefs :).

The following patch was tested with kernel 4.6.3 and gcc-6.1.1.

I'm not 100% sure, that CGOV_COUNTERS=10 is correct, but the gcov
output seemed reasonable.
