_tx_thread_relinquish walks the ready list at the relinquishing thread's priority for a
thread to hand its core to. When the walk reaches one it cannot place, carrying
preemption-threshold or excluded from that thread's mapped core, it sets the rebalance
flag and breaks. That exit falls into the block concluding no other thread is ready,
which is not what the walk found, and that block sets the finished flag. The rebalance
at the end of the function is guarded on that flag, so it never runs.

Every rebalance requested from inside the walk is discarded, because that exit always
reaches the block first. A ready thread behind the obstacle then never reaches a core
while the others hold them and relinquish to each other. The tick keeps arriving, so it
is a livelock rather than a deadlock.

The early return now applies only when no rebalance was requested, which lets control
reach the rebalance path the other three request sites already use.

threadx_smp_relinquish_rebalance_test fills the cores with threads of one priority
relinquishing in a loop, places a thread excluded from every core behind them and a
runnable thread behind that, and fails if the runnable one has not run within 100 ticks.
It fails 3 of 3 before this change and passes 5 of 5 after. Instrumenting a passing run
of threadx_thread_relinquish_test counted 12 rebalance requests from the walk against 4
performed, all 4 from sites outside it. 109/109 in all eight configurations, twice from
clean.

<title>Restored the random stack fill value cleared during thread creation (#732)</title>

Fixes #723

With `TX_ENABLE_STACK_CHECKING` and `TX_ENABLE_RANDOM_NUMBER_STACK_FILLING` both
enabled, `_tx_thread_create` picked a random byte, stored it in
`tx_thread_stack_fill_value`, filled the stack with it -- and then cleared the
whole control block with `TX_MEMSET`. The stack held the pattern while the
control block claimed zero, so `TX_THREAD_STACK_CHECK` and
`_tx_thread_stack_analyze` compared against the wrong value for the entire life
of the thread.

The value is now computed into a local and written back after the clear. The
clear stays where it is, because the module manager's error checking walks the
created list before the control block may be touched.

Fixed in `common/src/tx_thread_create.c`, `common_smp/src/tx_thread_create.c`
and `txm_module_manager_thread_create.c`, where it additionally left a user-mode
module thread's kernel stack filled with zeros.

`threadx_thread_stack_fill_value_test` creates sixteen unstarted threads and
checks each control block against the pattern in its stack, tolerating a random
zero byte without letting that hide the defect. Added to both suites: `ERROR #3`
on `dev` in `stack_checking_rand_fill_build`, green with the fix. Five tx
configurations at 104 tests, five SMP at 117, and all three sources clean under
`-Wall -Wextra` across every combination of the four stack-filling switches.

<title>Refused thread delete and reset while an exit transition is in progress (#724)</title>

<id>urn:sha1:70741198e9f6831acf52257913d1bb9c7a5a2720</id>
<content type='text'>
_tx_thread_shell_entry and _tx_thread_terminate both publish a thread's
terminal state -- TX_COMPLETED or TX_TERMINATED -- and then call that
thread's exit notification callback, before the thread has been detached
from the ready list and before either service has finished with the pointer
it holds to the control block. That terminal state is exactly the state
_tx_thread_delete and _tx_thread_reset accept as authorization to
invalidate or rebuild the control block, and neither service tested whether
the transition producing it had finished.

A callback could therefore delete the thread it was called for -- and then
lawfully recreate it over the same memory, since delete exists to permit
that -- while the scheduler was still linked to the old incarnation.
tx_thread_create zeroes the whole control block and can auto-start the new
one, so the old priority list is left heading at a block whose own priority
field names a different list, with the old priority's map bit set behind
nothing. Alternatively a callback could reset a terminated thread, which
moves it out of the terminal state, and then resume it: the interrupted-
suspension logic in _tx_thread_system_resume refuses to void a suspension
only while the state is still terminal, so with the reset allowed first the
resume clears the suspending flag and restores TX_READY, the outer service
then finds the flag clear and skips the removal, and tx_thread_terminate
returns TX_SUCCESS for a thread that is runnable again.

Interrupt masking does not close the window, because the kernel restores
the prior posture before invoking the callback deliberately. On SMP
TX_RESTORE also releases the global protection, so the target can be
executing on another core while its callback runs -- and a reset there
memsets the stack a live core is running on. On the Linux, Win32 and Win64
host simulation ports the consequence is more immediate than corruption:
TX_THREAD_DELETE_PORT_COMPLETION cancels and joins the host thread backing
the deleted thread, so a callback-side delete of the completing thread
destroys the host thread the callback is running on.

The fix marks the transition and has the two services refuse a marked
target, returning the errors they already document, TX_DELETE_ERROR and
TX_NOT_DONE. The refusal is transient and the same call succeeds once the
transition has completed, so no documented lifecycle is lost; and it is in
the core services rather than the _txe_ wrappers, so disabling error
checking cannot disable it. Refusing the reset is also what closes the
resume path, without touching _tx_thread_system_resume: its existing
terminal-state test is sufficient once nothing can turn the terminal state
into TX_SUSPENDED from inside the window.

tx_thread_suspending is the marker, rather than a new control-block field.
It already means "a suspension is in progress" and is already true across
the callback in the two interruptable paths, so no field is added, the
public structure is unchanged, and sizeof(TX_THREAD) is unchanged --
which matters, because the Module Manager's object handling depends on the
sizes of the control blocks. Widening its lifetime was checked against
every reader rather than assumed. There are four: two in
_tx_thread_system_suspend and two in _tx_thread_system_resume. In every
window this change widens, the state is TX_COMPLETED or TX_TERMINATED, and
both resume readers already refuse to void a suspension for exactly those
two states, so their behaviour is unchanged; and no suspension routine is
called on the target in those windows, so the suspend readers never see
them. No suspension-initiating service can set the marker again inside a
window either: every one of them acts on a thread that is ready or
suspended.

Three sites needed changing beyond the two refusals, and the shape of each
was decided by where the marker can safely be cleared:

  - The non-ready branch of _tx_thread_terminate cleared the marker before
    the terminated extension and the callback, which is what left them free
    to act on a control block the service still had mutex-release
    processing to do against. The clear moves to the common tail, after the
    last dereference of the target, and becomes the single clear site for
    the whole service. In the interruptable ready branch the flag is
    already false there, because _tx_thread_system_suspend cleared it when
    it detached the thread, so the tail store is a second store of a value
    the flag already holds -- cheaper than testing for it, and it keeps one
    clear site.

  - Under TX_NOT_INTERRUPTABLE neither path set the marker at all, because
    that configuration does not use the interruptable suspension path that
    sets it. Both now set it before the callback. Interrupts being disabled
    there does not help: the callback is reached by a direct call.

  - In the TX_NOT_INTERRUPTABLE completion path the marker is cleared
    before _tx_thread_system_ni_suspend rather than after it. That call
    returns to the scheduler for a thread that is the current thread, which
    a completing thread is, and does not come back; clearing afterwards
    would leave a normally completed thread marked for ever and therefore
    permanently undeletable. Nothing is lost by clearing early there,
    because everything from that point to the detachment runs with
    interrupts disabled and calls no application code.

The change is the same change twice. All four files are byte-for-byte
identical between common and common_smp at this commit and stay so after
it, so common_smp was written by copying rather than by repeating the
edits. tx_thread_system_suspend.c and tx_thread_system_resume.c, which do
differ between the kernels, are deliberately untouched.

Tests. The in-tree regression test goes to both trees and is byte-for-byte
identical between them. It drives seven scenarios: terminating a ready
non-current target with two peers ready at the same priority, with the
callback attempting the delete and recreating the block if it succeeded;
the same with the callback attempting the reset and then the resume;
terminating a target suspended on a semaphore while owning a mutex, which
is the non-ready branch; natural completion alone at its priority,
including the safe post-completion reset, terminate, delete and recreate at
another priority; self termination; a benign callback, whose notification
count and ordering are unchanged; and the state and boundary cases, where
the new refusal must not fire.

It measures rather than describes. The callback records the published
state, the marker, and the status of every lifecycle service it can reach,
calling the core service as well as the wrapper wherever a refusal is
expected. A snapshot taken under interrupt lockout -- which is the global
SMP protection on an SMP port -- checks that every ready list agrees with
the control blocks it heads, that the priority map agrees with the lists,
and that each execute pointer is a member of the list its own priority
field names. Every walk is bounded, so a corrupted ring costs an assertion
and not a hang, and no test in the suite can hang. Expectations are counted
inside a scenario and gated between scenarios, so a failing kernel reports
how much it failed by without being driven further into its own
corruption.

The consequences are demonstrated from the terminator's context rather than
the completing thread's, which is what makes the pre-fix behaviour an
assertion instead of a wedged simulator. Compiled against the unfixed
sources the test fails 9 of the 24 expectations it reaches in the
uniprocessor tree and 10 of 24 in the SMP tree, and the failures are the
finding: the callback-side delete succeeds, the recreate succeeds, the
consistency snapshot disagrees, the target is neither terminal nor detached
when the service returns, and a peer has left the ready ring the recreated
block hijacked.

The SMP tree gets a second test for the case that needs concurrency. The
victim is excluded to core 1 and spins there without relinquishing while
the controller, excluded to core 0, terminates it, so the callback runs on
one core while the target executes on another. The callback-side reset and
delete must both be refused, and a sentinel written into the unused low end
of the victim's stack must survive -- a reset would have memset the whole
stack before rebuilding the frame. Every wait is bounded, and if the remote
precondition cannot be established the test says so and drops only the
assertions that depend on it rather than reporting a pass it did not earn;
measured over twenty consecutive runs it established the precondition every
time.

TX_NOT_INTERRUPTABLE and TX_DISABLE_ERROR_CHECKING are not among the five
build configurations either tree compiles, and each tree builds the whole
library once per configuration, so neither can be reached from inside the
suites. The lines this change adds under TX_NOT_INTERRUPTABLE are therefore
in no configuration the trees build, and they are where the permanent-
undeletability failure mode lives, so they get their own harness rather
than a compile check: the four sources plus the two error wrappers are
compiled directly into a test executable, once per combination, with
recorders standing behind the scheduler services they call. That is what
makes the marker's value at the moment of detachment directly observable.
It runs 66 expectations under TX_NOT_INTERRUPTABLE, 66 under that with
error checking disabled, 45 under that with notification disabled, and 63
under error checking disabled alone; against the unfixed sources those fail
25, 22, 6 and 20 respectively. The harness lives in the uniprocessor tree
only, because the four sources are identical between the kernels and the
shim replaces the very primitive the SMP port differs in, so a second copy
would compile the same text under the same macros. It is deliberately left
out of the coverage instrumentation, since the same source under different
feature macros has a different line set and merging those would confuse the
union rather than add to it.

Results. Both suites pass in all five configurations with GCC 14: 103 of
103 in the uniprocessor tree, up from 98, and 116 of 116 in the SMP tree,
up from 114. Merged line coverage is 100% in the uniprocessor tree and
5172 of 5183 in the SMP tree, whose eleven uncovered lines are the same
eleven that were uncovered before this change and are in tx_byte_pool_search
and tx_thread_smp_utilities; all four changed files are at 100% line
coverage in both trees, and SMP branch coverage rises from 2819 of 3548 to
2831 of 3556. Cross-compiled with arm-none-eabi-gcc at -Wall -Wextra for
Cortex-M4 against common and for Cortex-A7 SMP against common_smp, all four
files produce no diagnostics at all and an identical warning set to before
the change, under -std=gnu99 and -std=c99 alike -- unlike the module ports,
-std=c99 does not fail on these base ports, and even -Wconversion is clean.

No MISRA deviation is required: explicit comparisons to TX_TRUE, existing
ThreadX types, single-entry and single-exit control flow, no goto, and two
added constant-time tests that change no real-time complexity.

* Marked every published ThreadX include directory as SYSTEM so applications no longer get warnings from ThreadX headers

Commit 8c3c08f added the SYSTEM keyword to the target_include_directories
call in common/CMakeLists.txt, but the same call in every port, in the
SMP common directory's consumers, in the POSIX and FreeRTOS compatibility
layers, and for the generated tx_user.h directory was left unchanged.
A consumer building with a strict warning set therefore still saw
diagnostics coming from tx_port.h and from the compatibility layer
headers, which is exactly what the original change set out to avoid.

Added the SYSTEM keyword to all of those calls so CMake emits -isystem
rather than -I for every directory holding a ThreadX public header. The
ARMv7-M, ARMv8-M, ARMv7-A and ARMv8-A architecture sources under
ports_arch were updated alongside the ports they generate, keeping the
two in step.

Directories that are PRIVATE to an example or test build were left as
they are, since nothing is published from them.

Fixes #290

* Stopped apt-get update being a gate it was never meant to be

apt-get update fails if any configured repository serves a bad index,
including ones this project never reads. The GitHub runner image carries
Google's and Microsoft's apt repositories, and a Hash Sum mismatch from
Google's, their CDN caught mid-publish with the index and the Release
file eight hours apart, failed all three attempts and turned a run red
over a browser nobody was installing.

Made a failed update warn and carry on, leaving apt-get install as the
gate. Nothing is weakened by that: the install still exits on a package
it cannot find, so an unreachable archive still stops the script, one
step later and naming the package it could not get, which is a better
diagnostic than a hash mismatch in a repository nobody asked for.

Disabling third-party sources before updating would keep the update
strict, but this script also runs on a contributor's own machine, and
rewriting someone's apt configuration to suit CI would be worse than
tolerating a stale index for an archive we do not read.

<title>Covered the SMP suspension teardown and the long byte pool search (#677)</title>

<id>urn:sha1:a2800fef16c5e229b71ce45050bf5fcf19d84bb2</id>
<content type='text'>
Against the merged SMP coverage report -- every build configuration instrumented
and unioned -- sixty-four lines of common_smp/src were uncovered, 5114 of 5178.
Fifty-three of them are closed here and the report reads 5167 of 5178. The SMP
coverage floor goes from 98 to 99 with it.

Thirty-six of the sixty-four were one loop repeated four times: the walk in
tx_block_pool_delete, tx_byte_pool_delete, tx_event_flags_delete and
tx_queue_delete that releases every thread suspended on the object with
TX_DELETED. The suite deletes all four object types after every single test, and
that is exactly why the loop never ran. test_control_cleanup in the ThreadX
suite deletes the application's objects first and its threads last, so a test
that ends with a thread parked on a queue has that thread walked out of it by
tx_queue_delete. The SMP suite's cleanup deletes the threads first, deliberately
-- it was changed so that no application-owned object is still referenced when
the object loops run, which is what stopped a class of teardown hang. The side
effect is that all four deletes now run against an empty suspension list.
tx_semaphore_delete is the one member of the family that was already covered,
because threadx_semaphore_delete_test deletes a busy semaphore on purpose.

threadx_object_delete_suspension_test is the same idea for the other four. Two
threads suspend on each of a block pool, a byte pool, an event flags group and a
queue; the control thread waits on the object's own suspended count through
tx_*_info_get rather than on an ordering it cannot guarantee across four cores,
deletes the object, and checks both waiters came out with TX_DELETED. Two
waiters rather than one so the loop takes its back edge as well as its body, and
every wait is bounded in ticks so a suspension that never arrives fails the test
instead of hanging it.

threadx_trace_entry_update_test and threadx_thread_misaligned_stack_test are
ports of the two tests that closed the equivalent gaps in common/src, and close
fourteen more lines here: tx_block_allocate 123, 175, 182, 319 and 326,
tx_byte_allocate 130, 210, 217, 359 and 366, tx_thread_system_suspend 504 and
560, tx_trace_object_register 221, and tx_thread_create 133. The one substantive
change is core confinement. The trace test needs thread 0 to suspend and thread
1 to then release what it waits for; on four cores thread 1 gives the block back
before thread 0 has suspended and the update block behind the suspension is
never reached, so both threads are excluded from cores 1 to 3. The misaligned
stack test needed no such change.

threadx_byte_memory_long_search_test closes three of the eleven in
tx_byte_pool_search. Lines 264, 267 and 270 are the
TX_BYTE_POOL_MULTIPLE_BLOCK_SEARCH limit -- twenty on this port -- where a long
search drops and retakes protection so that it cannot lock the other cores out
for the whole walk. No byte pool in the suite ever had twenty fragments. This
one is filled with small chunks until it refuses another and then has every
second chunk released, so the free fragments are never adjacent and cannot be
merged, and the request is larger than any of them but smaller than the pool's
theoretical total, which is what makes _tx_byte_pool_search walk rather than
refuse at the door. The layout is asserted rather than assumed: the test checks
the fragment count and checks the probe request really does fail before the
workers start, because either would otherwise turn it into a silent no-op.

Eleven lines remain and they are not a to-do list. Eight are the delay loop in
tx_byte_pool_search that fires when another thread claims the pool inside the
window the search opens. The Linux SMP port serialises all four cores on one
pthread mutex, so that window is an unlock immediately followed by a lock on
that mutex, and glibc hands an uncontended mutex straight back to the thread
that just released it: measured over 180,003 windows across three cores, with
zero handovers. The shipped test therefore does 250 searches per worker rather
than the sixty thousand that probe used, because the twenty-block threshold is
crossed by the first search. The other three are in tx_thread_smp_utilities.
Line 149 is a range guard placed after the shift it is meant to guard, so
reaching it needs a shift by the width of the type; the fix is to move the check
above the shift, matching the TX_MAX_PRIORITIES &gt; 32 variant of the same
function, and that belongs in its own change. Lines 1073 and 1074 need a mutex
owner that is genuinely executing on another core when a waiter suspends, and
three shapes were tried without producing one on this port.

Measured twice before and twice after, every gcda deleted between runs and
570 of 570 tests passing each time: 5114 of 5178 both times before, 5167 of 5178
both times after. Branch coverage goes from 2768 to 2821 and 2823 of 3548. A
floor of 99 needs 5127, so the ratchet lands with forty lines of headroom
against a numerator that has been seen moving by two between runs.

<title>Instrumented every build configuration and merged their coverage (#665)</title>

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

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>

<id>urn:sha1:b756220c434f1ca49495020cb1c001c8910b2179</id>
<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.
