Currently KCOV_ENABLE does not check if the current task is already
associated with another kcov descriptor. As the result it is possible
to associate a single task with more than one kcov descriptor, which
later leads to a memory leak of the old descriptor. This relation is
really meant to be one-to-one (task has only one back link).
Extend validation to detect such misuse.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
