Kees Cook 557f8c582a ubsan: Reintroduce signed overflow sanitizer
In order to mitigate unexpected signed wrap-around[1], bring back the
signed integer overflow sanitizer. It was removed in commit 6aaa31aeb9
("ubsan: remove overflow checks") because it was effectively a no-op
when combined with -fno-strict-overflow (which correctly changes signed
overflow from being "undefined" to being explicitly "wrap around").

Compilers are adjusting their sanitizers to trap wrap-around and to
detecting common code patterns that should not be instrumented
(e.g. "var + offset < var"). Prepare for this and explicitly rename
the option from "OVERFLOW" to "WRAP" to more accurately describe the
behavior.

To annotate intentional wrap-around arithmetic, the helpers
wrapping_add/sub/mul_wrap() can be used for individual statements. At
the function level, the __signed_wrap attribute can be used to mark an
entire function as expecting its signed arithmetic to wrap around. For a
single object file the Makefile can use "UBSAN_SIGNED_WRAP_target.o := n"
to mark it as wrapping, and for an entire directory, "UBSAN_SIGNED_WRAP :=
n" can be used.

Additionally keep these disabled under CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST for now.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
