Subject: [PATCH V6] GCOV: Add config to check the preqequisites situation
Date:   Thu, 18 Jun 2020 18:08:52 +0800
Message-Id: <20200618100852.13715-1-gengcixi@gmail.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

From: Cixi Geng <cixi.geng1@unisoc.com>

Introduce new configuration option GCOV_PROFILE_PREREQS that can be
used to check whether the prerequisites for enabling gcov profiling
for specific files and directories are met.

Only add SERIAL_GCOV for an example.
