Anders Roxell 1a6a1dbeb7 lib/ubsan: default UBSAN_ALIGNMENT to not set
When booting an allmodconfig kernel, there are a lot of false-positives.
With a message like this 'UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in...' with a call
trace that follows.

UBSAN warnings are a result of enabling noisy CONFIG_UBSAN_ALIGNMENT
which is disabled by default if HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS=y.

It's noisy even if don't have efficient unaligned access, e.g.  people
often add __cacheline_aligned_in_smp in structs, but forget to align
allocations of such struct (kmalloc() give 8-byte alignment in worst
case).

Rework so that when building a allmodconfig kernel that turns everything
into '=m' or '=y' will turn off UBSAN_ALIGNMENT.

This option enables undefined behaviour sanity checker
Compile-time instrumentation is used to detect various undefined
behaviours in runtime. Various types of checks may be enabled
via boot parameter ubsan_handle
(see: Documentation/dev-tools/ubsan.rst).

default y
help
This option activates instrumentation for the entire kernel.
If you don't enable this option, you have to explicitly specify
UBSAN_SANITIZE := y for the files/directories you want to check for UB.
Enabling this option will get kernel image size increased
significantly.
config UBSAN_NO_ALIGNMENT
bool "Disable checking of pointers alignment"
depends on UBSAN
default y if HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS
help
This option disables the check of unaligned memory accesses.
This option should be used when building allmodconfig.
Disabling this option on architectures that support unaligned
accesses may produce a lot of false positives.

depends on m && UBSAN
help
This is a test module for UBSAN.
It triggers various undefined behavior, and detect it.
