Looks good, though I think this could be merged into the main 4.7 format patch, since without it, the 4.7 code will never be reached. Also it is my understanding that there are some distribution-specific versions of GCC that include the 4.7. gcov format code but report GCC version 4.6. With the auto-detection code implemented like this, gcov-kernel won't work correctly. For that purpose I've implemented a configuration option to allow users to force a specific version of gcov format. I'm attaching the corresponding patch below: --- kernel: gcov: make data format configurable Make the format of the generated gcov data configurable. This may be required for example for pre-4.7 GCCs that contain the 4.7 gcov data format changes.
