kcov: allow more fine-grained coverage instrumentation
For more targeted fuzzing, it's better to disable kernel-wide
instrumentation and instead enable it on a per-subsystem basis. This
follows the pattern of UBSAN and allows you to compile in the kcov
driver without instrumenting the whole kernel.
To instrument a part of the kernel, you can use either
# for a single file in the current directory
KCOV_INSTRUMENT_filename.o := y
or
# for all the files in the current directory (excluding subdirectories)
KCOV_INSTRUMENT := y
or
# (same as above)
ccflags-y += $(CFLAGS_KCOV)
or
# for all the files in the current directory (including subdirectories)
subdir-ccflags-y += $(CFLAGS_KCOV)
