-Usage
------
+kcov is also able to collect comparison operands from the instrumented code
+(this feature currently requires that the kernel is compiled with clang).
+
+Prerequisites
+-------------
 
 Configure the kernel with::
 
         CONFIG_KCOV=y
 
 CONFIG_KCOV requires gcc built on revision 231296 or later.
+
+If the comparison operands need to be collected, set::
+
+	CONFIG_KCOV_ENABLE_COMPARISONS=y
+
 Profiling data will only become accessible once debugfs has been mounted::
 
         mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug

 That is, a parent process opens /sys/kernel/debug/kcov, enables trace mode,
 mmaps coverage buffer and then forks child processes in a loop. Child processes
 only need to enable coverage (disable happens automatically on thread end).
