[PATCH v2 0/8] kbuild: fix memory safety and UB bugs in host tools found by fuzzing

[Leizhen Zhang]

This series fixes bugs in kbuild host programs found by building them
with AddressSanitizer and UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer and fuzzing their
inputs. Most patches include a reproducer.

Patch 1 fixes a bug that also triggers without sanitizers: a declaration
such as "int a, f(int);" makes genksyms loop forever while allocating
memory (since v6.14; earlier versions silently recorded wrong types for
such declarations).

Patches 2-8 fix out-of-bounds reads (fixdep, modpost) and undefined
behaviour reported by UBSan (kallsyms, modpost, sorttable,
tools/include byteshift helpers), several of which trigger on every
normal x86_64 build when the host tools are built with UBSan.

The series is based on next-20261002. With it applied, a defconfig +
MODULES + MODVERSIONS x86_64 build succeeds, and for genksyms, the
symtypes/CRCs of 149 preprocessed kernel sources are unchanged.

Changes in v2:
 - Use my real name in the From and Signed-off-by lines. No code
   changes.
 - Drop "kconfig: fix NULL pointer dereference for defaults taken from
   choice members"; Julian Braha will fix that issue differently.

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20261005104050.1786222-1-lzsx618@xxxxxxxxx
