To enable UBSAN on ARM, this patch enables ARCH_HAS_UBSAN_SANITIZE_ALL
from arm confiuration. Basic kernel bootup test is passed on arm with
CONFIG_UBSAN_SANITIZE_ALL enabled.

Ah-ha, thanks for testing this. What devices did you check this on? I
know boot-up on arm32 can be very device-specific.

This was tested on an ARCH_BRCMSTB system which is using an ARMv8 CPU booted in AArch32 mode, so virtually equivalent to armv7l. A raspberry Pi 4B is also happily booting with it.


Which UBSAN configs did you try?

All CONFIG_UBSAN_* work with the exception of CONFIG_UBSAN_ALIGNMENT on my ARCH_BRCMSTB system, however it works fine on the Raspberry Pi 4B.

I also tested on a BCM63138 board (ARM A9) under ARCH_BCMBCA using the multi_v7_defconfig with all the UBSAN configs enabled except UBSAN_ALIGNMENT and board boots up fine. Turning on UBSAN_ALIGNMENT results in flood of false positive misaligned-access warnings. This is fine as ARM supports unaligned access.

It did catch an out-of-band bug in mach-sunxi smp code. I will submit a separate patch to fix that bug.
