So I was building the kernel with GCC-4.9 (for another issue) and that
got me:

arch/x86/kernel/signal.o: warning: objtool: restore_sigcontext()+0x69: call to __asan_store8() with UACCESS enabled
arch/x86/kernel/signal.o: warning: objtool: setup_sigcontext()+0x3d: call to __asan_load8() with UACCESS enabled
arch/x86/kernel/signal.o: warning: objtool: __setup_rt_frame()+0x308: call to __asan_load8() with UACCESS enabled
lib/strncpy_from_user.o: warning: objtool: strncpy_from_user()+0x33d: call to __asan_store1() with UACCESS enabled
lib/ubsan.o: warning: objtool: __ubsan_handle_type_mismatch_v1()+0x19: call to __asan_load8() with UACCESS enabled
lib/ubsan.o: warning: objtool: __ubsan_handle_type_mismatch()+0x19: call to __asan_load8() with UACCESS enabled

Can any of the KASAN folks enlighten me on this? Should I also whitelist
those symbols, and do I understand things correct that the difference
between * and *_noabort is absolutely nothing?
