From: Mark Rutland Date: Mon, 4 Dec 2023 17:18:07 +0000 (+0000) Subject: kcov: remove stale RANDOMIZE_BASE text X-Git-Url: http://git.maquefel.me/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0df52582e0154b2e05e9a5924cc60ac5f6f842b2;p=linux.git kcov: remove stale RANDOMIZE_BASE text The Kconfig help text for CONFIG_KCOV describes that recorded PC values will not be stable across machines or reboots when RANDOMIZE_BASE is selected. This was the case when KCOV was introduced in commit: 5c9a8750a6409c63 ("kernel: add kcov code coverage") However, this changed in commit: 4983f0ab7ffaad1e ("kcov: make kcov work properly with KASLR enabled") Since that commit KCOV always subtracts the KASLR offset from PC values, which ensures that these are stable across machines and across reboots even when RANDOMIZE_BASE is selected. Unfortunately, that commit failed to update the Kconfig help text, which still suggests disabling RANDOMIZE_BASE even though this is no longer necessary. Remove the stale Kconfig text.
