It can be used to improve kernel code quality by identifying code parts which are not exercised during test cases. Patch base is 2.6.30-rc6. Patch feedback has been integrated. There were no further comments since the last version. In my opinion this patchset is ready for inclusion into the -mm tree. Patch overview: [PATCH 1/4] kernel: constructor support [PATCH 2/4] seq_file: add function to write binary data [PATCH 3/4] gcov: add gcov profiling infrastructure [PATCH 4/4] gcov: enable GCOV_PROFILE_ALL for x86_64 For more information see Documentation/gcov.txt and the previous post: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=123565658224661
