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
- <https://github.com/gcc-mirror/gcc/commit/8c9434c2f9358b8b8bad2c1990edf10a21645f9d>`_
- 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()``.

+ files or compile errors.
This is different from the "normal" way of getting coverage information that is
documented in Documentation/dev-tools/gcov.rst.
