Good point about other contexts. I will attempt to clarify and send a v2. BTW, which tree should ubsan changes go through? The files are actually not mentioned by anything in MAINTAINERS. Should the KASAN entry gain paths to cover ubsan too? Something like: diff --git a/MAINTAINERS b/MAINTAINERS index 9dffd64d5e99..585434c013c4 100644 --- a/MAINTAINERS +++ b/MAINTAINERS @@ -8824,7 +8824,7 @@ S: Maintained F: Documentation/hwmon/k8temp.rst F: drivers/hwmon/k8temp.c -KASAN +KERNEL SANITIZERS (KASAN, UBSAN) M: Andrey Ryabinin <aryabinin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> R: Alexander Potapenko <glider@xxxxxxxxxx> R: Dmitry Vyukov <dvyukov@xxxxxxxxxx> @@ -8834,9 +8834,13 @@ F: arch/*/include/asm/kasan.h F: arch/*/mm/kasan_init* F: Documentation/dev-tools/kasan.rst F: include/linux/kasan*.h +F: lib/Kconfig.ubsan F: lib/test_kasan.c +F: lib/test_ubsan.c +F: lib/ubsan.c F: mm/kasan/ F: scripts/Makefile.kasan +F: scripts/Makefile.ubsan KCONFIG M: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- Kees Cook
