SubjectRe: [PATCH] kcov: fix race caused by unblocked interrupt

Thanks for collecting these.
This is early interrupt code.

I would like to avoid adding more overhead to
__sanitizer_cov_trace_pc() function if possible since it's called for
every basic block.

One alternative is to rearrange irq entry/exit code so that in_task()
starts returning false for all that code. However, this may be tricky
since the irq entry/exit code are subtle beasts.

trace_hardirqs_off_finish() is defined in trace_preemptirq.c:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.18-rc7/source/kernel/trace/trace_preemptirq.c#L61
I think we could mark this file as KCOV_SANITIZE := n in the Makefile.
This would be good for other reasons: currently this code still adds
random coverage pieces at random places even with your patch (it only
prevents overwriting but not adding).

However, this will not work for _find_first_zero_bit() since it's a
very common function used in lots of places.
So what do you think if we additionally swap the order of writing
pc/incrementing pos? It would need some explanatory comment as to why
we are doing this.

It seems that they are not from the early interrupt code. Do you think they should not be instrumented?
