From: Kees Cook <kees@xxxxxxxxxx> kbuild: Use -fzero-init-padding-bits=all Enable -fzero-init-padding-bits=all when available (GCC 15+). This will correctly zero padding bits in structs and unions that might have been left uninitialized, and will make sure there is no regression in union initializations[1]. This fixes the following stackinit KUnit selftest cases that had been XFAIL until now because there was no compiler support: ok 38 test_small_hole_static_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 3 ok 39 test_big_hole_static_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 124 ok 40 test_trailing_hole_static_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 7 ok 42 test_small_hole_dynamic_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 3 ok 43 test_big_hole_dynamic_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 124 ok 44 test_trailing_hole_dynamic_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 7 ok 58 test_small_hole_assigned_static_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 3 ok 59 test_big_hole_assigned_static_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 124 ok 60 test_trailing_hole_assigned_static_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 7 ok 62 test_small_hole_assigned_dynamic_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 3 ok 63 test_big_hole_assigned_dynamic_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 124 ok 64 test_trailing_hole_assigned_dynamic_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 7 All of the above now pass when built under GCC 15: ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run stackinit --arch=x86_64 \ --make_option CC=gcc-15 Suggested-by: Jakub Jelinek <jakub@xxxxxxxxxx> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-toolchains/Z0hRrrNU3Q+ro2T7@tucnak/ [1] Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <kees@xxxxxxxxxx> diff --git a/scripts/Makefile.extrawarn b/scripts/Makefile.extrawarn index blahblah..blahblah 100644 --- a/scripts/Makefile.extrawarn +++ b/scripts/Makefile.extrawarn @@ -77,6 +77,9 @@ KBUILD_CFLAGS += $(call cc-option,-Werror=designated-init) # Warn if there is an enum types mismatch KBUILD_CFLAGS += $(call cc-option,-Wenum-conversion) +# Explicitly clear padding bits during variable initialization +KBUILD_CFLAGS += $(call cc-option,-fzero-init-padding-bits=all) + KBUILD_CFLAGS += -Wextra KBUILD_CFLAGS += -Wunused -- https://gitlab.com/cki-project/kernel-ark/-/merge_requests/3611 -- _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list -- kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to kernel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
