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 -

 * undefined rol32(0) -

 * undefined dirty_ratelimit calculation -

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

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

signed overflows:

 * 32a8df4e0b ("sched: Fix odd values in effective_load()
   calculations")

 * mul overflow in ntp -

Undefined Behavior Sanitizer - UBSAN
Overview
--------
UBSAN is a runtime undefined behaviour checker.
UBSAN uses compile-time instrumentation to catch undefined behavior (UB).
Compiler inserts code that perform certain kinds of checks before operations
that may cause UB. If check fails (i.e. UB detected) __ubsan_handle_*
function called to print error message.
GCC has that feature since 4.9.x [1] (see -fsanitize=undefined option and
its suboptions). GCC 5.x has more checkers implemented [2].

================================================================================
Usage
-----
To enable UBSAN configure kernel with:
CONFIG_UBSAN=y
and to check the entire kernel:
CONFIG_UBSAN_SANITIZE_ALL=y
To enable instrumentation for specific files or directories, add a line
similar to the following to the respective kernel Makefile:
For a single file (e.g. main.o):
UBSAN_SANITIZE_main.o := y
For all files in one directory:
UBSAN_SANITIZE := y
To exclude files from being instrumented even if
CONFIG_UBSAN_SANITIZE_ALL=y, use:
UBSAN_SANITIZE_main.o := n
and:
UBSAN_SANITIZE := n
Detection of unaligned accesses controlled through the separate option -
CONFIG_UBSAN_ALIGNMENT. It's off by default on architectures that support
unaligned accesses (CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS=y). One could
still enable it in config, just note that it will produce a lot of UBSAN
reports.
