Hi!
Thanks for the patch and the fixes!
Please consider my comments below.

There were neither v2 letter, nor diffs for all of the changes,
so I'll bring the missing ones by myself.

Here is the commit message on the branch:
| cmake: add code coverage support
|
| The patch adds building code coverage support using gcovr [1] and gcov.
| gcovr is a better version of lcov, see [2]. CMake target LuaJIT-coverage
| executes regression tests, proccess *.gcno and *.gcda files with gcov,
Typo: s/process/processes/
| builds detailed HTML report and prints summary about code coverage.
Typo: s/detailed/a detailed
Typo: s/summary/a summary/
|
| ```
| $ cmake -S . -B build -DENABLE_COVERAGE=ON
| $ cmake --build build --parallel
| $ cmake --build build --target LuaJIT-coverage
|

Now the alignments seems kinda strange. I believe it would be
better to make it a signle line now, like:
| AppendFlags(CMAKE_C_FLAGS --coverage)

I suggest moving most of the logic with finding gcov/running coverage into
a separate cmake module, just to make the test-related one more readable.
What do you think?

You did not include the actual diff for the change, so I've checked it
on GitHub. Here are two comments, that were added:
| # Exclude DynASM files, that contains a low-level VM code for CPUs.
Typo: s/that contains/that contain/

| # Exclude buildvm source code, it's a project's infrastructure.
Typo: s/a project's/the project's/
