[PATCH 1/2] ubsan: allow to disable the null sanitizer

From: Christian Borntraeger <hidden>
Date: 2016-09-12 12:38:05
Also in: linux-s390, lkml
Subsystem: kernel build + files below scripts/ (unless maintained elsewhere), library code, the rest, ubsan · Maintainers: Nathan Chancellor, Nicolas Schier, Andrew Morton, Linus Torvalds, Kees Cook

Some architectures use a hardware defined struct at address zero.
Checking for a null pointer will result in many ubsan reports.
Let users disable the null sanitizer.
