it's hard for bot to apply this commit to previous commits in bisect, so we just
make out below report FYI that we observe UBSAN issues in boot tests.

This issue predates the blamed commit, and it's specific to
CONFIG_UBSAN_INTEGER_WRAP which was recently introduced.

CONFIG_UBSAN_INTEGER_WRAP apparently requires clang 20.

To try to reproduce this, I built clang from the release/20.x branch, then built
a kernel with CONFIG_UBSAN_INTEGER_WRAP=y.  When booting that kernel, there are
many UBSAN reports:

    [    0.000000] UBSAN: negation-overflow in lib/sort.c:199:36

    [    0.000000] UBSAN: negation-overflow in lib/sort.c:185:14

    [    0.276708] UBSAN: unsigned-integer-overflow in ./include/linux/min_heap.h:329:24

    [    0.277376] UBSAN: negation-overflow in ./include/linux/min_heap.h:260:42

    [    0.871191] UBSAN: unsigned-integer-overflow in lib/crypto/chacha20poly1305-selftest.c:8854:47

    [    0.890856] UBSAN: unsigned-integer-overflow in lib/crypto/chacha20poly1305-selftest.c:8851:47

    [    0.910455] UBSAN: unsigned-integer-overflow in lib/crypto/chacha20poly1305.c:260:57

    [    1.105542] UBSAN: unsigned-integer-overflow in lib/zstd/compress/zstd_compress_sequences.c:334:21

    [    1.113539] UBSAN: unsigned-integer-overflow in lib/zstd/compress/huf_compress.c:889:23

    [    1.114597] UBSAN: unsigned-integer-overflow in lib/lz4/lz4_compress.c:294:9

So I did get the chacha20poly1305 ones, but they're hardly unique.

If this new sanitizer is going to move forward, is there any sort of plan or
guide for how to update code to be compatible with it?  Specifically considering
common situations where unsigned wraparound (which is defined behavior in C) can
be intentionally relied on, like calculating the distance from the next N-byte
boundary.  What are the best practices now?
Hi, yes, this is still under development. I tried to make it hard to
enable accidentally (not via COMPILE_TEST, not UBSAN-default, etc), but
we (still) don't have a way to disable configs for randconfigs. :(

We're hoping to see Clang 21 with the more versatile Overflow Behavior Types:
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-v2-clang-introduce-overflowbehaviortypes-for-wrapping-and-non-wrapping-arithmetic/86507

and our current testing is showing many fewer false positives. (Having
run syzkaller for weeks now.)
Documentation/dev-tools/ubsan.rst says nothing about this and only mentions
"undefined behavior", which this is not.
Right -- this will get extensive documentation before we move it out of
its development phase.

I'm not sure how to enforce "don't enable this unless you're developing
the Overflow Behavior Types" with current Kconfig, given the randconfig
gap... I have some memory of Arnd doing something special with his
randconfigs to avoid these kinds of things, but I can't find it now.
