Only default_build_coverage carried -fprofile-arcs, because the gate was the
build type and it is the only one of five whose name ends in _coverage. The
other four build and run all their tests and their coverage was discarded. That
is not redundancy thrown away: each configuration selects a different set of TX_
feature macros, so the code the other four compile is absent from the
denominator rather than uncovered in it.

TX_COVERAGE instruments a build regardless of its name, defaulting to OFF so a
single configuration built by hand behaves as before. coverage.sh gains a
--merge mode that unions the per-configuration JSON tracefiles, and
cmake_bootstrap.sh runs it after the test loop so a local run produces the same
merged report CI reads. The template sets TX_COVERAGE for build and test, and
coverage_name moves to the merged report.

Measured on the ThreadX suite, all 480 tests passing:

  default_build_coverage           3827 valid   3827 covered
  disable_notify_callbacks_build   3767         3766
  stack_checking_build             3857         3856
  stack_checking_rand_fill_build   3862         3861
  trace_build                      4123         4108
  merged                           4503         4487

The denominator grows by 676 lines, 17.7%, and the figure moves from 99.97% to
99.64%. The second one is honest, and the drop is the point rather than a
regression: the denominator now includes code the old report never counted. The
union also contains a file the old report did not contain at all --
tx_thread_stack_error_handler.c compiles only under TX_ENABLE_STACK_CHECKING, so
it was not listed at 0%, it was simply absent. 177 files becomes 178.

Coverage collection moved out of test() and now runs after the test loop, one
configuration at a time. gcov writes its intermediate gcov files into the
directory gcovr is rooted at, and coverage.sh roots every configuration at the
repository root so filenames come out repo-relative. Five concurrent gcovr
processes therefore share one scratch directory and delete each other's output:
the first full run of this change passed all 480 tests and produced no report
for three of the five configurations. Measured both ways -- two gcovr rooted at
the repository root fail concurrently and succeed in sequence. CI would not
have caught it, because test_tx.sh sets CTEST_PARALLEL_LEVEL=1 and takes the
serial branch.

Per-configuration output moved under coverage_report/per_configuration/ and is
excluded from the Pages artifact. The deploy job merges the ThreadX and SMP
artifacts into one tree and every configuration directory has the same name in
both, so left at the top level one suite's would overwrite the other's on the
published site.

On the SMP suite, an earlier run of this change saw trace_build fail
threadx_smp_time_slice_test and then hang, which raised the question of whether
-fprofile-arcs perturbs a timing-sensitive test. It does not. Sixteen runs
settle it, and the decisive one is that threadx_smp_time_slice_test failed
ERROR #31 -- twice in a row under --repeat until-pass:2 -- on an uninstrumented
build, in the exact shape CI runs, while three instrumented runs of that shape
passed 5 of 5. In the CI shape, CTEST_PARALLEL_LEVEL=1 run.sh test all:

  TX_COVERAGE=OFF   3 runs   2 green, one ERROR #31        310 s
  TX_COVERAGE=ON    3 runs   3 green, 5/5 each             325-329 s

So the test is a pre-existing flake on dev and instrumenting all five costs
about 5% of the suite's wall clock. Separately, and also in both instrumented
and uninstrumented builds, run.sh's parallel branch -- what a developer gets
typing run.sh test all with no CTEST_PARALLEL_LEVEL -- hangs under its own load,
four times in twelve runs. Several SMP tests create 1024 ThreadX threads by
construction and the Linux port backs each with a pthread, so five
configurations at once put on the order of 5000 threads on the machine. CI sets
CTEST_PARALLEL_LEVEL=1 and does not take that branch.

<title>Fixed the coverage report's paths and scoping (#664)</title>

<content type='text'>
The Cobertura XML embedded absolute machine paths, and the flag that looked
like it scoped the report to one build configuration was doing nothing at all.
Both coverage.sh scripts had the defect; both are fixed here, because the SMP
report is published to the same Pages site as the ThreadX one.

Paths. -r was the build directory and -f pointed outside it, so gcovr could not
express the sources relative to the root and fell back to absolute paths. The
result named files as /home/runner/work/threadx/threadx/common/src/... while
the &lt;source&gt; element beside them said build/default_build_coverage, so the two
halves of the same file disagreed and nothing could map coverage back to the
repository. -r is the repository root now and -f an absolute path beneath it,
which gives filename="common/src/tx_block_allocate.c".

Both must be absolute: -r ../../.. -f common/src produces a report of zero
files and exits 0, which is the worst failure mode available here.

Scoping. --object-directory does not restrict which gcda files are found -- it
tells gcovr how to get from a gcda file back to the compiler's working
directory. Pointed at an empty directory it still produced the full 177-file
report. That was harmless only by accident, because -r build/$1 constrained the
search instead; moving -r to the repository root removes that accident, so the
two changes have to land together. Measured, with a second instrumented
configuration deliberately made sparser than the first:

  scoped by the positional search path   3221 of 3827 lines -- the truth
  no search path, -r at the repo root    3827 of 3827 -- silently merged
  --object-directory at the sparse tree  3827 of 3827 -- scopes nothing

So the search path is load-bearing, and it matters ahead of instrumenting all
five configurations: without it each configuration would have reported the
union as its own.

An empty report is not an error to gcovr -- it warns and exits 0 -- and it
carries line-rate="1.0" next to lines-valid="0", so a consumer reads no data at
all as fully covered. No coverage threshold can catch that, since an empty
report passes any threshold. Hence the explicit assertion that the report has
content, which fires with exit 1 on an object directory that exists but is
empty, where the old shape returned 177 files and exit 0.

Also says out loud that ports/linux/gnu/src is deliberately outside the filter.
gcno files exist for it and it is dropped without a word today.

Number-neutral, and that was the test. Over the same frozen gcda, changing only
the gcovr invocation: ThreadX 3827 of 3827 lines and 1993 of 1994 branches
across 177 files, SMP 4739 of 4791 and 2417 of 2430 across 185, before and
after alike. Same answers on gcovr 7.0, 8.3 and 8.6, so the change is not
wedged to the current pin. End to end through run.sh, 96 of 96 and 110 of 110
pass with the reports written.

<title>Matched gcov to the compiler that produced the coverage data (#658)</title>

gcov reads a data format tied to the compiler that produced it. coverage.sh
took whatever gcov was first on PATH, which was fine while the compiler was
also whatever was first on PATH. #656 made cmake/linux.cmake honour CC and
#657 made a compiler switch actually reconfigure the build, so that
assumption no longer holds, and the first person to use the new capability
would have hit this.

Measured on dev with both of those merged:

    CC=gcc-14 ./run.sh build default_build_coverage    # succeeds
    ./coverage.sh default_build_coverage               # exit 64

gcov says why, if asked directly:

    tx_block_allocate.c.gcno:version 'B42*', prefer 'B33*'

gcovr turns that into "GCOV returncode was 3" and exits 64 through a Python
traceback, after the tests have already passed. It reads like a coverage bug
rather than a toolchain mismatch, which is the part that would have cost
someone an afternoon.

gcov is now derived from CC rather than found on PATH, so the caller sets
one variable instead of remembering two. GCOV still overrides, for a
toolchain that does not follow the gcc/gcov naming, and a derived gcov that
does not exist is reported as such instead of surfacing as a traceback.

Verified, tx and smp, before and after:

    CC=gcc-14    was exit 64, now exit 0, 177 files and 1527/3827 lines
    CC unset     exit 0, 177 files and 1527/3827 lines, unchanged
    CC=gcc-99    exit 1 naming gcov-99 and CC, rather than a traceback
    GCOV=gcov-14 with CC=gcc-99, exit 0, so the override still wins

A mismatched pairing still fails, deliberately: reading a gcc-14 tree with
the default gcc-13 gcov is exit 64 as before. Producing a number from
mismatched data would be worse than refusing.
