Subject: [PATCH -rc v1] gcov: Disable gcov build with GCC 10
Date: Fri,  4 Sep 2020 18:58:08 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200904155808.4997-1-leon@kernel.org> (raw)

From: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@nvidia.com>

GCOV built with GCC 10 doesn't initialize n_function variable.
This produces different kernel panics as was seen by Colin in
Ubuntu [1] and me in FC 32 [2].

As a workaround, let's disable GCOV build for broken GCC 10 version.
