Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] initmem: introduce CONFIG_INIT_ALL_MEMORY and CONFIG_INIT_ALL_STACK
CONFIG_INIT_ALL_MEMORY is going to be an umbrella config for options
that force heap and stack initialization.
The rationale behind doing so is to reduce the severity of bugs caused
by using uninitialized memory.
CONFIG_INIT_ALL_STACK turns on stack initialization based on
-ftrivial-auto-var-init in Clang builds and on
-fplugin-arg-structleak_plugin-byref-all in GCC builds.
-ftrivial-auto-var-init is a Clang flag that provides trivial
initializers for uninitialized local variables, variable fields and
padding.
It has three possible values:
pattern - uninitialized locals are filled with a fixed pattern
(mostly 0xAA on 64-bit platforms, see https://reviews.llvm.org/D54604
for more details) likely to cause crashes when uninitialized value is
used;
zero (it's still debated whether this flag makes it to the official
Clang release) - uninitialized locals are filled with zeroes;
uninitialized (default) - uninitialized locals are left intact.
The proposed config builds the kernel with
-ftrivial-auto-var-init=pattern.
Developers have the possibility to opt-out of this feature on a
per-file (by using the INIT_ALL_MEMORY_ Makefile prefix) or per-variable
(by using __attribute__((uninitialized))) basis.
For GCC builds, CONFIG_INIT_ALL_STACK is simply wired up to
CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_STRUCTLEAK_BYREF_ALL. No opt-out is possible at the
moment.
