							|  |  |  | 	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): |

							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	To exclude files from being profiled even when CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL |

							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	        GCOV_PROFILE_main.o := n |
