Merge tag 'gcc-plugins-v5.1-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux

Pull gcc-plugins updates from Kees Cook:
 "This adds additional type coverage to the existing structleak plugin
  and adds a large set of selftests to help evaluate stack variable
  zero-initialization coverage.

  That can be used to test whatever instrumentation might be performing
  zero-initialization: either with the structleak plugin or with Clang's
  coming "-ftrivial-auto-var-init=zero" option.

  Summary:

   - Add scalar and array initialization coverage

   - Refactor Kconfig to make options more clear

   - Add self-test module for testing automatic initialization"

Test if the kernel is zero-initializing stack variables and
padding. Coverage is controlled by compiler flags,
CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_STRUCTLEAK, CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_STRUCTLEAK_BYREF,
or CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_STRUCTLEAK_BYREF_ALL.
