From: Cixi Geng <cixi.geng1@unisoc.com>

Introduce new configuration option GCOV_PROFILE_PREREQS that can be
used to check whether the prerequisites for enabling gcov profiling
for specific files and directories are met.

Only add SERIAL_GCOV for an example.

First off, sorry for not replying earlier.

I tried out your latest version of this patch and I don't see that my
previous comments have been addressed.

To re-iterate my point: I only see value in introducing a new
GCOV-related config symbol that is automatically selected, depending on
whether (as the name implies) all prerequisites for enabling GCOV-based
kernel profiling have been met. Such a symbol can take away the burden
of duplicating the prerequisite check as has been implemented for
GCOV_PROFILE_ALL.

I see no value in introducing a new config symbol that prompts the user
for a choice.

As it is, your patch introduces a new config symbol that prompts the
user for a choice:

$ make oldconfig
scripts/kconfig/conf  --oldconfig Kconfig
*
* Restart config...
*
*
* GCOV-based kernel profiling
*
Enable gcov-based kernel profiling (GCOV_KERNEL) [Y/n/?] y
Profile entire Kernel (GCOV_PROFILE_ALL) [N/y/?] n
Profile Kernel for prereqs (GCOV_PROFILE_PREREQS) [Y/n/?] (NEW)

We do not need this prompt. Users specify that they want GCOV-profiling
by selecting GCOV_KERNEL. They specify that they want area-specific
profiling in symbols like your proposed SERIAL_GCOV. There is no need
for a user to manually confirm that the prerequisites for enabling
are-specific profiling are met.

I have detailed the required changes that would remove the prompt in my
previous reply. I'll add it here again for your convenience:

And to clarify: by "the portion above" I was referring to all quoted
lines prefixed with a '+' sign.
