I added a AR5005G to a laptop toget WiFI and got UBSAN warnings with todays git kernel. Relevant parts of dmesg (anything wireless or ath5k related + the UBSAN warnings themselves): [ 24.407902] cfg80211: Loading compiled-in X.509 certificates for regulatory database [ 24.426476] cfg80211: Loaded X.509 cert 'sforshee: 00b28ddf47aef9cea7' [...] [ 25.075174] platform regulatory.0: Direct firmware load for regulatory.db failed with error -2 [ 25.082956] cfg80211: failed to load regulatory.d [...] [ 31.285760] ath5k 0000:06:04.0: registered as 'phy0' [ 32.058128] ath: EEPROM regdomain: 0x63 [ 32.058130] ath: EEPROM indicates we should expect a direct regpair map [ 32.058134] ath: Country alpha2 being used: 00 [ 32.058135] ath: Regpair used: 0x63 [ 32.058256] ieee80211 phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'minstrel_ht' [ 32.058554] ath5k: phy0: Atheros AR2413 chip found (MAC: 0x78, PHY: 0x45) [ 32.339426] ath5k 0000:06:04.0 wlp6s4: renamed from wlan0 [ 45.651817] ================================================================================ [ 45.654340] UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/base.c:498:16 [ 45.656882] load of value 225 is not a valid value for type '_Bool' [ 45.659422] CPU: 0 PID: 340 Comm: NetworkManager Not tainted 5.5.0-rc1-00027-gae4b064e2a61 #4 [ 45.662014] Hardware name: QCI 00000000000000000 /EF6 , BIOS Q3B81 10/11/2005 [ 45.667286] Call Trace: [ 45.669906] dump_stack+0x16/0x19 [ 45.672508] ubsan_epilogue+0x8/0x20 [ 45.675114] __ubsan_handle_load_invalid_value.cold+0x43/0x48 [ 45.677786] ?
