Add GCOV_PROFILE_FTRACE to allow gcov profiling
on only files in ftrace subsystem. This kconfig
flag will be used for checking kselftest/ftrace
coverage.

Note, I haven't heard of "kconfig flag" as the terminology. Usually, we
just say "config" or "config option".

I would rewrite the above as:

	Note that on a kernel compiled with this config, ftrace will
	run significantly slower.

I think we can leave out the production sentence. It should be obvious
from the "significantly slower" part.

Other than that, it looks fine to me.

This patch also seems out of place for the series. Want to resend it
separately, and I'll apply it?

Thanks!

Yes, this one is the patch for ftrace, not ftracetest.

OK, I'll fix "config" and resend it :)

Thank you,
