Have you considered submitting these patches for review to mainline?
I always thought it was a nice feature that might be mainline
worthy.

I second that, it would be nice to have these features in mainline instead of
maintaining them for every kernel release.

Actually yes, I did and am still considering to do that. Still I feel that there are a few things that need to be changed in the gcov-kernel code before it's suitable for inclusion into mainline (e.g. move from use of /proc to debugfs, use of seqfile mechanism instead of custom code). Part of that work has already been done by [email protected] and myself but we've stalled about half-way due to a lack of time.
Seeing that there seems to be some support for the idea, I'll try to come up with a patch for further discussion.
