kcov_common_handle is a method that is used to obtain a "default" KCOV remote handle of the current process. The handle can later be passed to kcov_remote_start in order to collect coverage for the processing that is initiated by one process, but done in another. For details see Documentation/dev-tools/kcov.rst and comments in kernel/kcov.c. Presently, if kcov_common_handle is called in an IRQ context, it will return a handle for the interrupted process. This may lead to unreliable and incorrect coverage collection. Adjust the behavior of kcov_common_handle in the following way. If it is called in a task context, return the common handle for the currently running task. Otherwise, return 0.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
