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
