+	help
+	  KCOV exposes kernel code coverage information in a form suitable
+	  for coverage-guided fuzzing (randomized testing).
+
+	  If RANDOMIZE_BASE is enabled, PC values will not be stable across
+	  different machines and across reboots. If you need stable PC values,
+	  disable RANDOMIZE_BASE.
+
+	  For more details, see Documentation/kcov.txt.

+	depends on KERNEL_KCOV
+	help
+	  KCOV also exposes operands of every comparison in the instrumented
+	  code along with operand sizes and PCs of the comparison instructions.
+	  These operands can be used by fuzzing engines to improve the quality
+	  of fuzzing coverage.

+config KERNEL_KCOV_INSTRUMENT_ALL

+	default y if KERNEL_KCOV
+	help
+	  If you are doing generic system call fuzzing (like e.g. syzkaller),
+	  then you will want to instrument the whole kernel and you should
+	  say y here. If you are doing more targeted fuzzing (like e.g.
+	  filesystem fuzzing with AFL) then you will want to enable coverage
+	  for more specific subsets of files, and should say n here.
