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 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.

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.

This is a test module for UBSAN.

It triggers various undefined behavior, and detect it.
