Hi Wei,

The cbz instruction has range limitation. When compiled with gcov

Use "b" instead.

From a quick look the size of xen doubled (776K -> 1.4M) with GCov. Xen on ARM assumes the binary will always fit in 2MB, it might be time to get rid of this limit.

I know that enabling UBSAN [1] will lead to a binary bigger than 2MB and Xen will explode in early boot.
