Subject: [PATCH 3/3] kbuild: Implement Clang's stack initialization
CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL 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 when selected.
Developers have the possibility to opt-out of this feature on a
per-variable basis by using __attribute__((uninitialized)).
