is it expected that the new kcov feature will be used elsewhere in the kernel? If the latter, which are the expected subsystems?Currently we encountered two cases where this is useful: USB and vhost workers. Most probably there are more subsystems that will benefit from this kcov extension to get better fuzzing coverage. I don't have a list of them, but the provided interface should be easy to use when more of such cases are encountered.It would be helpful to add such a list to the changelog. Best-effort and approximate is OK - just to help people understand the eventual usefulness of the proposal.
OK, I'll add it to the cover letter in v3, thanks!
