GCOV built with GCC 10 doesn't initialize n_function variable. This produces different kernel panics as was seen by Colin in Ubuntu and me in FC 32.
As a workaround, let's disable GCOV build for broken GCC 10 version.
Oh, Peter Oberparleiter actually figured out what was wrong, and we have commit 40249c696207 ("gcov: add support for GCC 10.1") upstream that enables it again with the fix for the changed semantics in gcc-10.
AUTOSEL spotted it (https://lore.kernel.org/stable/20200914130358.1804194-27-sashal@kernel.org/), and I didn't want to rush it in given it doesn't have a fixes/stable tag.
I'll queue it up for this cycle as you've pointed it out.
