 Note that the kcov modes (coverage collection or comparison operands) are
 mutually exclusive.
+
+Remote coverage collection
+--------------------------
+
+With KCOV_ENABLE coverage is collected only for syscalls that are issued from
+the current process. With KCOV_REMOTE_ENABLE it's possible to collect coverage
+for arbitrary parts of the kernel code, provided that those parts are annotated
+with kcov_remote_start()/kcov_remote_stop().
+
+This allows to collect coverage from two types of kernel background threads:
+the global ones, that are spawned during kernel boot and are always running
+(e.g. USB hub_event()); and the local ones, that are spawned when a user
+interacts with some kernel interface (e.g. vhost workers).
+
+To enable collecting coverage from a global background thread, a unique global
+handle must be assigned and passed to the corresponding kcov_remote_start()
+call. Then a userspace process can pass a list of such handles to the
+KCOV_REMOTE_ENABLE ioctl in the handles array field of the kcov_remote_arg
+struct. This will attach the used kcov device to the code sections, that are
+referenced by those handles.
+
+Since there might be many local background threads spawned from different
+userspace processes, we can't use a single global handle per annotation.
+Instead, the userspace process passes a non-zero handle through the
+common_handle field of the kcov_remote_arg struct. This common handle gets
+saved to the kcov_handle field in the current task_struct and needs to be
+passed to the newly spawned threads via custom annotations. Those threads
+should in turn be annotated with kcov_remote_start()/kcov_remote_stop().
+
+Internally kcov stores handles as u64 integers. The top byte of a handle is
+used to denote the id of a subsystem that this handle belongs to, and the lower
+4 bytes are used to denote a handle id within that subsystem. A reserved value
+0 is used as a subsystem id for common handles as they don't belong to a
+particular subsystem. The bytes 4-7 are currently reserved and must be zero.
+In the future the number of bytes used for the subsystem or handle ids might
+be increased.
+
+When a particular userspace proccess collects coverage by via a common handle,
+kcov will collect coverage for each code section that is annotated to use the
+common handle obtained as kcov_handle from the current task_struct. However
+non common handles allow to collect coverage selectively from different
+subsystems.
