gcov uses global functions that are called from generated code,
but these have no prototype in a header, which causes a W=1
build warning:
kernel/gcov/gcc_base.c:12:6: error: no previous prototype for '__gcov_init' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
kernel/gcov/gcc_base.c:40:6: error: no previous prototype for '__gcov_flush' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
kernel/gcov/gcc_base.c:46:6: error: no previous prototype for '__gcov_merge_add' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
kernel/gcov/gcc_base.c:52:6: error: no previous prototype for '__gcov_merge_single' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
Add prototypes for all of these to an internal header.

Sorry for the late reply. I can confirm that the problem exists, both
with GCC and Clang compiles. I see some issues with your fix though:
1. It contains extraneous prototypes that are duplicates of existing
prototypes in gcov.h (everything that doesn't start with __gcov or llvm)
2. Adding the list of prototypes, though not actually needed by kernel
source code, will require updating gcov.h if new calls from generated
code are introduced - this is extra work I'd like to avoid if possible
Because this situation is special, I would rather prefer to silence
these warnings by removing the associated compiler flags
(-Wmissing-prototypes and I think also -Wmissing-declarations) for
gcc_base.c and clang.c using CFLAGS_REMOVE.
If you agree, do you want to provide a v2 along these lines?

FYI - these are defined in gcc_base.c and called only by GCC generated code:

These are defined in both gcc_4_7.c and clang.c and used by other code
in kernel/gcov/*:

And these are defined in clang.c and called only by Clang generated code:
