Well, if you see my other replies in the thread, I gave up for various reasons, see https://lore.kernel.org/r/d36ea54d8c0a8dd706826ba844a6f27691f45d55.ca...@sipsolutions.net Personally, I ended up switching to CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL instead because it actually works for modules, but then it was _really_ slow (think 30s to copy data for a few modules), but I root-caused this and ultimately sent these patches instead: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linux-um/patch/20210315233804.d3e52f6a3422.I9672eef7dfa7ce6c3de1ccf7ab8d9aad1fa7f3a6@changeid/ https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linux-um/patch/20210315234731.2e03184a344b.I04f1816296f04c5aa7d7d88b33bd4a14dd458da8@changeid/ johannes
