[RFC PATCH -rc] gcov: Protect from uninitialized number of functions provided by GCC

From: Leon Romanovsky
Date: Thu Aug 27 2020 - 10:51:07 EST


From: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@xxxxxxxxxx>

The kernel compiled with GCC 10.2.1 and KASAN together with GCOV enabled
produces the following splats while reloading modules.

First splat [1] is generated due to the situation that gcov_info can be both
user and kernel pointer, the memcpy() during kmemdup() causes to this.
As a possible solution copy fields manually.

Second splat [2] is seen because n_function provided by GCC through
__gcov_init() is ridiculously high, in my case it was 2698213824.
IMHO it means that this field is not initialized, but I'm not sure.

I have a strong feeling that this solution is not correct, but don't
know how to do it right. The problem exists and reproducable in seconds.
