commit 977ef30a7d888eeb52fb6908f99080f33e5309a8 upstream. Starting with GCC 12.1, the created .gcda format can't be read by gcov tool. There are 2 significant changes to the .gcda file format that need to be supported: a) [gcov: Use system IO buffering] (23eb66d1d46a34cb28c4acbdf8a1deb80a7c5a05) changed that all sizes in the format are in bytes and not in words (4B) b) [gcov: make profile merging smarter] (72e0c742bd01f8e7e6dcca64042b9ad7e75979de) add a new checksum to the file header. Tested with GCC 7.5, 10.4, 12.2 and the current master.

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.
