We don't want compiler instrumentation to touch noinstr functions, which are annotated with the no_profile_instrument_function function attribute. Add a Kconfig test for this and make GCOV depend on it, and in the future, PGO. If an architecture is using noinstr, it should denote that via this Kconfig value. That makes Kconfigs that depend on noinstr able to express dependencies in an architecturally agnostic way.

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.
