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.
