Commit Message

Currently there's a KCOV remote coverage collection section in
__usb_hcd_giveback_urb(). Initially that section was added based on the
assumption that usb_hcd_giveback_urb() can only be called in interrupt
context as indicated by a comment before it. This is what happens when
syzkaller is fuzzing the USB stack via the dummy_hcd driver.

As it turns out, it's actually valid to call usb_hcd_giveback_urb() in task
context, provided that the caller turned off the interrupts; USB/IP does
exactly that. This can lead to a nested KCOV remote coverage collection
sections both trying to collect coverage in task context. This isn't
supported by KCOV, and leads to a WARNING.

The approach this patch takes is to add another set of kcov_remote_*()
callbacks that specify the context they are supposed to be executed in.
If the current context doesn't match the mask provided to a callback,
that callback is ignored. KCOV currently only supports collecting remote
coverage in two contexts: task and softirq. This patch constraints KCOV to
only collect coverage from __usb_hcd_giveback_urb() when it's executed in
softirq context.

As the result, the coverage from USB/IP related usb_hcd_giveback_urb() calls
won't be collected, but the WARNING is fixed.

A potential future improvement would be to support nested remote coverage
collection sections, but this patch doesn't address that.

Changes v2->v3:
- Keep behavoir of existing callbacks the same except for the
  __usb_hcd_giveback_urb() one.
- Fix build error with KOV disabled.

These are returning void whereas kcov_remote_start_usb_softirq isn't.
Was it intentional?

Other than that,

 passed to the newly spawned threads via custom annotations. Those threads
 should in turn be annotated with kcov_remote_start()/kcov_remote_stop().
 
+Besides the annotations that only accept a handle, there are also
+kcov_remote_start_context()/kcov_remote_stop_context() that accept a
+context mask. This mask describes the contexts in which these annotations
+should be applied. E.g. specifying KCOV_CONTEXT_SOFTIRQ will result in the
+corresponding annotations being ignored in any context other than softirq.

 Internally kcov stores handles as u64 integers. The top byte of a handle
 is used to denote the id of a subsystem that this handle belongs to, and
 the lower 4 bytes are used to denote the id of a thread instance within
