From: Andrey Ryabinin <aryabinin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit c5caf21ab0cf884ef15b25af234f620e4a233139 upstream. In the upcoming gcc7 release, the -fsanitize=kernel-address option at first implied new -fsanitize-address-use-after-scope option. This would cause link errors on older kernels because they don't have two new functions required for use-after-scope support. Therefore, gcc7 changed default to -fno-sanitize-address-use-after-scope. Now the kernel has everything required for that feature since commit 828347f8f9a5 ("kasan: support use-after-scope detection"). So, to make it work, we just have to enable use-after-scope in CFLAGS.
