[PATCH] ubsan: disable UBSAN_DIV_ZERO for clang

From: Nick Desaulniers
Date: Thu Jul 14 2022 - 16:57:00 EST


Building with UBSAN_DIV_ZERO with clang produces numerous fallthrough
warnings from objtool.

In the case of uncheck division, UBSAN_DIV_ZERO may introduce new
control flow to check for division by zero. Because the result of the
division is undefined, LLVM may optimize the control flow such that
after the call to __ubsan_handle_divrem_overflow doesn't matter. If
panic_on_warn was set, __ubsan_handle_divrem_overflow would panic. The
problem is is that panic_on_warn is run time configurable. If it's
disabled, then we cannot guarantee that we will be able to recover
safely. Disable this config for clang until we can come up with a
solution in LLVM.

Linus,
I still think we should add explicit checks to gaurd against divide by
zero.

This option enables -fsanitize=integer-divide-by-zero which checks
for integer division by zero. This is effectively redundant with the
