Add ARCH_HAS_KCOV to ARM64 config. Disable instrumentation of arch/arm64/lib/delay.c
Why do we disable instrumentation of delay.c? What exactly does kcov instrumentation imply? Does it require certain data to be mapped or certain functions to be callable while instrumented functions are called? We have some C code that is run outside of the normal kernel context (e.g. EFI stub, KVM hyp code), and I suspect it may be necessary to disable instrumentation for those also. Thanks, Mark.
