FAOD my reading of xen/Kconfig.debug is that CONFIG_GCOV depends on
CONFIG_DEBUG which says

 This option is intended for development purposes
 only, and not for production use.

and is therefore out of security support.

Accordingly I think the only security review needed for the hypervisor
part is to check that everything is indeed disabled without
CONFIG_GCOV.

Thanks,
Ian.
