Masahiro Yamada 6a61b70b43 gcov: remove CONFIG_GCOV_FORMAT_AUTODETECT
CONFIG_GCOV_FORMAT_AUTODETECT compiles either gcc_3_4.c or gcc_4_7.c
according to your GCC version.

We can achieve the equivalent behavior by setting reasonable dependency
with the knowledge of the compiler version.

If GCC older than 4.7 is used, GCOV_FORMAT_3_4 is the default, but users
are still allowed to select GCOV_FORMAT_4_7 in case the newer format is
back-ported.

On the other hand, If GCC 4.7 or newer is used, there is no reason to
use GCOV_FORMAT_3_4, so it should be hidden.

If you downgrade the compiler to GCC 4.7 or older, oldconfig/syncconfig
will display a prompt for the choice because GCOV_FORMAT_3_4 becomes
visible as a new symbol.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

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.
