[ Upstream commit 25a21fbb934a0d989e1858f83c2ddf4cfb2ebe30 ] With GCOV_PROFILE_ALL, Clang injects __llvm_gcov_* functions to each object file, including the *.mod.o. As we filter out CC_FLAGS_CFI for *.mod.o, the compiler won't generate type hashes for the injected functions, and therefore indirectly calling them during module loading trips indirect call checking. Enabling CFI for *.mod.o isn't sufficient to fix this issue after commit 0c3e806ec0f9 ("x86/cfi: Add boot time hash randomization"), as *.mod.o aren't processed by objtool, which means any hashes emitted there won't be randomized. Therefore, in addition to disabling CFI for *.mod.o, also disable GCOV, as the object files don't otherwise contain any executable code.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
