9 This option enables gcov-based code profiling (e.g. for code coverage
10 measurements).
11
12 If unsure, say N.
13
14 Additionally specify CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL=y to get profiling data
15 for the entire kernel. To enable profiling for specific files or
16 directories, add a line similar to the following to the respective
17 Makefile:
18
19 For a single file (e.g. main.o):
20 GCOV_PROFILE_main.o := y
21
22 For all files in one directory:
23 GCOV_PROFILE := y
24
25 To exclude files from being profiled even when CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL
26 is specified, use:
27
28 GCOV_PROFILE_main.o := n
29 and:
30 GCOV_PROFILE := n
31
32 Note that the debugfs filesystem has to be mounted to access
33 profiling data.

46 If unsure, say N.
47
48 Note that a kernel compiled with profiling flags will be significantly
49 larger and run slower. Also be sure to exclude files from profiling
50 which are not linked to the kernel image to prevent linker errors.

56 ---help---
57 The gcov format is usually determined by the GCC version, but there are
58 exceptions where format changes are integrated in lower-version GCCs.
59 In such a case use this option to adjust the format used in the kernel
60 accordingly.

62 If unsure, choose "Autodetect".
