Subject: [PATCH v4 28/35] kcov: Enable context analysis
Date: Thu, 20 Nov 2025 16:09:53 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251120151033.3840508-29-elver@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251120151033.3840508-7-elver@google.com>
Enable context analysis for the KCOV subsystem.
Signed-off-by: Marco Elver <elver@google.com>
---
v4:
* Fix new temporary variable type.
* Rename capability -> context analysis.
v2:
* Remove disable/enable_context_analysis() around headers.
