Andrey Ryabinin 3ca17b1f36 lib/ubsan: remove null-pointer checks
With gcc-8 fsanitize=null become very noisy.  GCC started to complain
about things like &a->b, where 'a' is NULL pointer.  There is no NULL
dereference, we just calculate address to struct member.  It's
technically undefined behavior so UBSAN is correct to report it.  But as
long as there is no real NULL-dereference, I think, we should be fine.

-fno-delete-null-pointer-checks compiler flag should protect us from any
consequences.  So let's just no use -fsanitize=null as it's not useful
for us.  If there is a real NULL-deref we will see crash.  Even if
userspace mapped something at NULL (root can do this), with things like
SMAP should catch the issue.

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_ALIGNMENT
bool "Enable checking of pointers alignment"
depends on UBSAN
default y if !HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS
help
This option enables detection of unaligned memory accesses.
Enabling this option on architectures that support unaligned
accesses may produce a lot of false positives.
config TEST_UBSAN
tristate "Module for testing for undefined behavior detection"
depends on m && UBSAN
help
This is a test module for UBSAN.
It triggers various undefined behavior, and detect it.
