gcov: add gcov profiling infrastructure

Enable the use of GCC's coverage testing tool gcov [1] with the Linux
kernel.  gcov may be useful for:

 * debugging (has this code been reached at all?)
 * test improvement (how do I change my test to cover these lines?)
 * minimizing kernel configurations (do I need this option if the
   associated code is never run?)

The profiling patch incorporates the following changes:

 * change kbuild to include profiling flags
 * provide functions needed by profiling code
 * present profiling data as files in debugfs

Note that on some architectures, enabling gcc's profiling option
"-fprofile-arcs" for the entire kernel may trigger compile/link/
run-time problems, some of which are caused by toolchain bugs and
others which require adjustment of architecture code.

For this reason profiling the entire kernel is initially restricted
to those architectures for which it is known to work without changes.
This restriction can be lifted once an architecture has been tested
and found compatible with gcc's profiling. Profiling of single files
or directories is still available on all platforms (see config help
text).

+	This option enables gcov-based code profiling (e.g. for code coverage
+	measurements).
+
+	If unsure, say N.
+
+	Additionally specify CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL=y to get profiling data
+	for the entire kernel. To enable profiling for specific files or
+	directories, add a line similar to the following to the respective
+	Makefile:
+
+	For a single file (e.g. main.o):
+	        GCOV_PROFILE_main.o := y
+
+	For all files in one directory:
+	        GCOV_PROFILE := y
+
+	To exclude files from being profiled even when CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL
+	is specified, use:
+
+	        GCOV_PROFILE_main.o := n
+	and:
+	        GCOV_PROFILE := n
+
+	Note that the debugfs filesystem has to be mounted to access
+	profiling data.

+
+	If unsure, say N.
+
+	Note that a kernel compiled with profiling flags will be significantly
+	larger and run slower. Also be sure to exclude files from profiling
+	which are not linked to the kernel image to prevent linker errors.
