It's great to see this coming to KUnit! As I was testing this series, I 
wasn't able to generate the coverage stats with GCC11. I got a linking 
error from ld:

ERROR:root:/usr/bin/ld: 
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/11/libgcov.a(_gcov.o): in function 
`mangle_path':
(.text+0x19f0): multiple definition of `mangle_path'; 
fs/seq_file.o:/home/mairacanal/linux/.kunit/../fs/seq_file.c:441: first 
defined here
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

By changing the name of the function to `seq_mangle_path`, it is 
possible to solve the linking error and run the tests. But, anyway, no 
.gcda files are generated.

I checked out, and this is a known issue that was already discussed in 
this series [1] (but I guess it didn't move on).

Is there any hope to see better UM support for gcov as using GCC6 is 
quite uncommon nowadays?
