common_interrupt() and friends call kvm_set_cpu_l1tf_flush_l1d(),
which is not marked as noinstr nor __always_inline.
So compiler outlines it and adds instrumentation to it.
Since the call is inside of instrumentation_begin/end(),
objtool does not warn about it.
The manifestation is that KCOV produces spurious coverage
in kvm_set_cpu_l1tf_flush_l1d() in random places because
the call happens when preempt count is not yet updated
to say that we are in an interrupt.
Mark kvm_set_cpu_l1tf_flush_l1d() as __always_inline and move
out of instrumentation_begin/end() section.
It only calls __this_cpu_write() which is already safe to call
in noinstr contexts.

So I'm reading spurious here, but the next patch trips BUG, them very
much not the same thing. Which is it?

I am not sure I understand the question.
Currently kvm_set_cpu_l1tf_flush_l1d() is traced, so the added test
produces a BUG without this fix (and does not produce with this fix).
By "spurious" I meant that tracing of kvm_set_cpu_l1tf_flush_l1d() and
interrupts in general is parasitic/unwanted.
