[PATCH v2] kcov: don't profile branches in kcov

From: Andrey Ryabinin
Date: Thu Apr 21 2016 - 08:16:20 EST


Profiling 'if' statements in __sanitizer_cov_trace_pc() leads to
unbound recursion and crash:
__sanitizer_cov_trace_pc() ->
ftrace_likely_update ->
__sanitizer_cov_trace_pc() ...

Define DISABLE_BRANCH_PROFILING to disable this tracer.
