Documentation: kunit: drop obsolete note about uml_abort for coverage
Commit b6d5799b0b
("kunit: Add 'kunit_shutdown' option") changes KUnit
to call kernel_halt() by default when done testing.
This fixes the issue with not having .gcda files due to not calling
atexit() handlers, and therefore we can stop recommending people
manually tweak UML code.
The need to use older versions of GCC (<=6) remains however, due to
linktime issues, same as before. Note: There also might still be issues
with .gcda files as well in newer versions.

TODO(brendanhiggins@google.com): There are various issues with UML and

versions of gcc 7 and up. You're likely to run into missing ``.gcda``

files or compile errors. We know one `faulty GCC commit

but not how we'd go about getting this fixed. The compile errors still

need some investigation.

.. note::

TODO(brendanhiggins@google.com): for recent versions of Linux
|

(5.10-5.12, maybe earlier), there's a bug with gcov counters not being
|
||||
flushed in UML. This translates to very low (<1%) reported coverage. This is
|
||||
related to the above issue and can be worked around by replacing the
|
||||
one call to ``uml_abort()`` (it's in ``os_dump_core()``) with a plain
|
||||
``exit()``.

This is different from the "normal" way of getting coverage information that is

documented in Documentation/dev-tools/gcov.rst.
