lkdtm: turn off kcov for lkdtm_rodata_do_nothing:
I ran into a link error on ARM64 for lkdtm_rodata_do_nothing: drivers/misc/built-in.o: In function `lkdtm_rodata_do_nothing': :(.rodata+0x68c8): relocation truncated to fit: R_AARCH64_CALL26 against symbol `__sanitizer_cov_trace_pc' defined in .text section in kernel/built-in.o I did not analyze this further, but my theory is that we would need a trampoline to call __sanitizer_cov_trace_pc(), but the linker (correctly) only adds trampolines for callers in executable sections. Disabling KCOV for this one file avoids the build failure with no other practical downsides I can think of. The problem can only happen on kernels that contain both kcov and lkdtm, so if we want to backport this, it should be in the earliest version that has both (v4.8).
