  Description     : Extension to gcov to provide coverage information for the Linux Kernel

 GCOV-kernel is an extension of GCOV, a GNU tool which provides
 information about what parts of a program are actually executed
 (i.e. "covered") while running a particular test case. 
 The extension provides GCOV support for the Linux kernel by implementing
 a coverage support infrastructure in the kernel, and a dynamic module 
 (gcov-proc) for accessing data through the /proc filesystem. 
 GCOV-kernel works with the GCOV user program, but enhanced analysis
 can be performed with the LCOV coverage analysis program.
