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.
