I agree this is the right thing to do, but since GCC 12.0 isn't out yet (and
only x86 has objtool atm) this will prevent using KCOV with a released GCC on
arm64 and s390, which would be unfortunate for Syzkaller.

AFAICT the relevant GCC commit is:

https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=commit;h=cec4d4a6782c9bd8d071839c50a239c49caca689

Currently we mostly get away with disabling KCOV for while compilation units,
so maybe it's worth waiting for the GCC 12.0 release, and restricting things
once that's out?

Thanks,
Mark.
