That's simple: the system where we gather coverage (by running tests using
strace built with configure option --enable-code-coverage) is provided by
travis, it's quite old and doesn't implement quite a few modern kernel
features.  That's the reason for the discrepancy of ~2% you can see
between the coverage displayed on codecov site and the coverage you can
gather yourself on a system with a fresh linux kernel.
