[PATCH 3.2 018/104] gcov: add support for GCC 4.9

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Sun Mar 11 2018 - 23:42:42 EST


3.2.101-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Yuan Pengfei <coolypf@xxxxxx>

commit a992bf836f9c3039a16f4bd068d161c86c6c3e2c upstream.

This patch handles the gcov-related changes in GCC 4.9:

A new counter (time profile) is added. The total number is 9 now.

A new profile merge function __gcov_merge_time_profile is added.

See gcc/gcov-io.h and libgcc/libgcov-merge.c

For the first change, the layout of struct gcov_info is affected.

For the second one, a dummy function is added to kernel/gcov/base.c
similarly.
