Acked-by: Dmitry Vyukov <dvyukov@xxxxxxxxxx>
for the series.

I see you extended the test module, do you have samples of all UBSAN
report types that are triggered by these functions? Is so, please add
them to:
https://github.com/google/syzkaller/tree/master/pkg/report/testdata/linux/report
with whatever titles they are detected now. Improving titles will then
be the next step, but much simpler with a good collection of tests.

Will you send the panic_on_want patch as well?
