[PATCH] ubsan: introducing CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS_LOCAL for Clang

[George-Aurelian Popescu]

From: George Popescu <georgepope@xxxxxxxxxx>

When the kernel is compiled with Clang, -fsanitize=bounds expands to
-fsanitize=array-bounds and -fsanitize=local-bounds.

Enabling -fsanitize=local-bounds with Clang has the unfortunate
side-effect of inserting traps; this goes back to its original intent,
which was as a hardening and not a debugging feature [1]. The same feature
made its way into -fsanitize=bounds, but the traps remained. For that
reason, -fsanitize=bounds was split into 'array-bounds' and
'local-bounds' [2].

Since 'local-bounds' doesn't behave like a normal sanitizer, enable
it with Clang only if trapping behaviour was requested by
CONFIG_UBSAN_TRAP=y.

Add the UBSAN_BOUNDS_LOCAL config to Kconfig.ubsan to enable the
'local-bounds' option by default when UBSAN_TRAP is enabled.
