LLVM changed the expected function signature for llvm_gcda_emit_function()
in the clang-11 release. Users of clang-11 or newer may have noticed
their kernels producing invalid coverage information:
$ llvm-cov gcov -a -c -u -f -b <input>.gcda -- gcno=<input>.gcno
1 <func>: checksum mismatch, \
(<lineno chksum A>, <cfg chksum B>) != (<lineno chksum A>, <cfg chksum C>)
2 Invalid .gcda File!
...
Fix up the function signatures so calling this function interprets its
parameters correctly and computes the correct cfg checksum. In
particular, in clang-11, the additional checksum is no longer optional.

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.
