Some older gccs (<GCC 7), when invoked with -fsanitize-coverage=trace-pc,

It seems to me the warning is correct? If enable_unknown is false and no
cpu_feature is found, it will in
if (m->cpu_ftr_bit_mask)
cur_cpu_spec->cpu_features |= m->cpu_ftr_bit_mask;
enable random features (whatever was last in the table), or indeed access
via NULL if the table is length 0? So maybe this should be
if (known && m->cpu_ftr_bit_mask)
cur_cpu_spec->cpu_features |= m->cpu_ftr_bit_mask;
instead? (The code would be much clearer if all the known vs. !known
codepath was fully separated here).
The table is never length 0, it's a statically defined array.
