Here is the kernel part of change (for kernel 2.6.36) -- just for the
reference.

Patch

From 6b41dbf977a3e001a77100f092532b879115d8e0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Rong Xu <xur@google.com>

Subject: [PATCH] core-gcov: enable FDO profile generation in GCC

This change enables profile generation for Feedback Directed
Optimization (FDO) in GCC. It only works with gcc version
4.4.3 or later. Compiling with gcc 3.4 gives the same behavior
as in the original gcov implementation.

This change focuses on enabling FDO and it does not maintain
the same feature set as the original gcov implementation:
1) .gcno and .c files will no longer be linked to profiles
   directory.
2) all .gcda files will have a .tmp_ prefix, the same prefix
    when feeding c source files to the compiler.

To enable profile generation, we need to
1) set the following config:
   CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL=y
   CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL=y
2) set COMPILER_LIB_PATH to the absolute path to the
   parent directory of "gcov-src". "gcov-src" is a directory
   containing the following 4 files:
     gcov-iov.h gcov-io.h gcov-io.c and libgcov.c.
   It usually sits at
${GCC_ROOT}/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/${GCC_VERSION}/.

The profiles will be stored in /sys/debug/debug/gcov/.
