In order to provide some insight on what code is executed during
coreboot's run time and how well our test scenarios work, this
adds code coverage support to coreboot's ram stage. This should
be easily adaptable for payloads, and maybe even romstage.
See http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Gcov.html for
more information.
To instrument coreboot, select CONFIG_COVERAGE ("Code coverage
support") in Kconfig, and recompile coreboot. coreboot will then
store its code coverage information into CBMEM, if possible.
Then, run "cbmem -CV" as root on the target system running the
instrumented coreboot binary. This will create a whole bunch of
.gcda files that contain coverage information. Tar them up, copy
them to your build system machine, and untar them. Then you can
use your favorite coverage utility (gcov, lcov, ...) to visualize
code coverage.
For a sneak peak of what will expect you, please take a look
at http://www.coreboot.org/~stepan/coreboot-coverage/
