It appears that this patch contains two independent sets of changes: 1. Updates to gcov-kernel required to work with GCC 4.9 (#counters + new merge function stub) 2. A bug-fix required when using GCC option -fprofile-values which is currently not supported by gcov-kernel (see https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/19/74)
Please split these changes into separate patches.
Change 1) is definitely useful as without it .gcda file creation will fail when compiling the kernel with GCC 4.9.
Regarding change 2) I still don't think this is necessary unless: a) there is a way to trigger the problem without -fprofile-values, or b) you intend to send an additional patch set that enables -fprofile-values profiling for gcov-kernel in which case the fix should be part of that patch set.
