In my case it turns out to be gcov patches - in which I'm interested
in to see (and play with) the tests coverage.

#
# gcov
#
kernel-call-constructors.patch
kernel-introduce-gcc_version_lower-macro.patch
seq_file-add-function-to-write-binary-data.patch
GOOD
gcov-add-gcov-profiling-infrastructure.patch
GOOD
gcov-create-links-to-gcda-files-in-build-directory.patch
gcov-architecture-specific-compile-flag-adjustments.patch
BAD

I can not bisect between the last two due to build error. Config is attached.
