Hi Andrey,

It's probably a bug fix that unveils the link errors.

tree:   https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable-rc.git linux-3.16.y
head:   0b9f4cdd4d75131d8886b919bbf6e0c98906d36e
commit: 3cb0dc19883f0c69225311d4f76aa8128d3681a4 [2872/3488] module: fix types of device tables aliases

compiler: gcc-7 (Debian 7.3.0-1) 7.3.0
reproduce:
        git checkout 3cb0dc19883f0c69225311d4f76aa8128d3681a4
        # save the attached .config to linux build tree
        make ARCH=x86_64

I think this is a result of using a too new compiler with the old 3.16
kernel. In order
to build with gcc-7.3, you need to backport

05384213436a ("gcov: support GCC 7.1")

It's already part of stable-3.18 and later, but not 3.2 and 3.16.

Thanks.  I've queued up the following for 3.16:

3e44c471a2da gcov: add support for GCC 5.1
d02038f97253 gcov: add support for gcc version >= 6
05384213436a gcov: support GCC 7.1

Ben.
