This patch series enables remote KCOV coverage collection during
802.11 frames processing. These changes make it possible to perform
coverage-guided fuzzing in search of remotely triggerable bugs.

Normally, KCOV collects coverage information for the code that is
executed inside the system call context. It is easy to identify where
that coverage should go and whether it should be collected at all by
looking at the current process. If KCOV was enabled on that process,
coverage will be stored in a buffer specific to that process.
Howerever, it is not always enough as handling can happen elsewhere
(e.g. in separate kernel threads).

When it is impossible to infer KCOV-related info just by looking at
the currently running process, one needs to manually pass some
information to the code that should be instrumented. The information
takes the form of 64 bit integers (KCOV remote handles). Zero is the
special value that corresponds to an empty handle. More details on
KCOV and remote coverage collection can be found in
Documentation/dev-tools/kcov.rst.

The series consists of three commits.
1. Apply a minor fix to kcov_common_handle() so that it returns a
valid handle (zero) when called in an interrupt context.
2. Take the remote handle from KCOV and attach it to newly allocated
SKBs. If the allocation happens inside a system call context, the SKB
will be tied to the process that issued the syscall (if that process
is interested in remote coverage collection).
3. Annotate the code that processes incoming 802.11 frames with
kcov_remote_start()/kcov_remote_stop()

This patch series conflicts with another proposed patch
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/223901affc7bd759b2d6995c2dbfbdd0a29bc88a.1602248029.git.andreyknvl@xxxxxxxxxx
One of these patches needs to be rebased once the other one is merged.

v2:
* Moved KCOV annotations from ieee80211_tasklet_handler to
ieee80211_rx.
* Updated kcov_common_handle() to return 0 if it is called in
interrupt context.
* Updated the cover letter.

v1: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20201007101726.3149375-1-a.nogikh@xxxxxxxxx

Aleksandr Nogikh (3):
kernel: make kcov_common_handle consider the current context
net: store KCOV remote handle in sk_buff
mac80211: add KCOV remote annotations to incoming frame processing
