Mark Rutland 0ed557aa81 sched/core / kcov: avoid kcov_area during task switch
During a context switch, we first switch_mm() to the next task's mm,
then switch_to() that new task.  This means that vmalloc'd regions which
had previously been faulted in can transiently disappear in the context
of the prev task.

Functions instrumented by KCOV may try to access a vmalloc'd kcov_area
during this window, and as the fault handling code is instrumented, this
results in a recursive fault.

We must avoid accessing any kcov_area during this window.  We can do so
with a new flag in kcov_mode, set prior to switching the mm, and cleared
once the new task is live.  Since task_struct::kcov_mode isn't always a
specific enum kcov_mode value, this is made an unsigned int.

The manipulation is hidden behind kcov_{prepare,finish}_switch() helpers,
which are empty for !CONFIG_KCOV kernels.

The code uses macros because I can't use static inline functions without a
circular include dependency between <linux/sched.h> and <linux/kcov.h>,
since the definition of task_struct uses things defined in <linux/kcov.h>
