Linus Torvalds 6e8d666e92 Disable "maybe-uninitialized" warning globally
Several build configurations had already disabled this warning because
it generates a lot of false positives.  But some had not, and it was
still enabled for "allmodconfig" builds, for example.

Looking at the warnings produced, every single one I looked at was a
false positive, and the warnings are frequent enough (and big enough)
that they can easily hide real problems that you don't notice in the
noise generated by -Wmaybe-uninitialized.

The warning is good in theory, but this is a classic case of a warning
that causes more problems than the warning can solve.

If gcc gets better at avoiding false positives, we may be able to
re-enable this warning.  But as is, we're better off without it, and I
want to be able to see the *real* warnings.

Andrey Ryabinin dde5cf39d4 ubsan: fix tree-wide -Wmaybe-uninitialized false positives
-fsanitize=* options makes GCC less smart than usual and increase number
of 'maybe-uninitialized' false-positives. So this patch does two things:

 * Add -Wno-maybe-uninitialized to CFLAGS_UBSAN which will disable all
   such warnings for instrumented files.

 * Remove CONFIG_UBSAN_SANITIZE_ALL from all[yes|mod]config builds. So
   the all[yes|mod]config build goes without -fsanitize=* and still with
   -Wmaybe-uninitialized.

Andrey Ryabinin c6d308534a UBSAN: run-time undefined behavior sanity checker
UBSAN uses compile-time instrumentation to catch undefined behavior
(UB).  Compiler inserts code that perform certain kinds of checks before
operations that could cause UB.  If check fails (i.e.  UB detected)
__ubsan_handle_* function called to print error message.

So the most of the work is done by compiler.  This patch just implements
ubsan handlers printing errors.

GCC has this capability since 4.9.x [1] (see -fsanitize=undefined
option and its suboptions).
However GCC 5.x has more checkers implemented [2].
Article [3] has a bit more details about UBSAN in the GCC.

Issues which UBSAN has found thus far are:

Found bugs:

 * out-of-bounds access - 97840cb67f ("netfilter: nfnetlink: fix
   insufficient validation in nfnetlink_bind")

undefined shifts:

 * d48458d4a7 ("jbd2: use a better hash function for the revoke
   table")

 * 10632008b9 ("clockevents: Prevent shift out of bounds")

 * 'x << -1' shift in ext4 -

   http://lkml.kernel.org/r/<CACT4Y+ZxoR3UjLgcNdUm4fECLMx2VdtfrENMtRRCdgHB2n0bJA@mail.gmail.com>

   WONTFIX here because it should be fixed in bpf program, not in kernel.

   calculations")
