The Undefined Behavior Sanitizer - UBSAN
|
|
========================================
|
|
|
|
UBSAN is a runtime undefined behaviour checker.
|
|
|
|
UBSAN uses compile-time instrumentation to catch undefined behavior (UB).
|
|
Compiler inserts code that perform certain kinds of checks before operations
|
|
that may cause UB. If check fails (i.e. UB detected) __ubsan_handle_*
|
|
function called to print error message.
|
|
|
|
GCC has that feature since 4.9.x [1_] (see ``-fsanitize=undefined`` option and
|
|
its suboptions). GCC 5.x has more checkers implemented [2_].

Usage
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
To enable UBSAN configure kernel with::
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_UBSAN=y
|
|
|
|
and to check the entire kernel::
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_UBSAN_SANITIZE_ALL=y
|
|
|
|
To enable instrumentation for specific files or directories, add a line
|
|
similar to the following to the respective kernel Makefile:
|
|
|
|
- For a single file (e.g. main.o)::
|
|
|
|
UBSAN_SANITIZE_main.o := y
|
|
|
|
- For all files in one directory::
|
|
|
|
UBSAN_SANITIZE := y
|
|
|
|
To exclude files from being instrumented even if
|
|
``CONFIG_UBSAN_SANITIZE_ALL=y``, use::
|
|
|
|
UBSAN_SANITIZE_main.o := n
|
|
|
|
and::
|
|
|
|
UBSAN_SANITIZE := n
|
|
|
|
Detection of unaligned accesses controlled through the separate option -
|
|
CONFIG_UBSAN_ALIGNMENT. It's off by default on architectures that support
|
|
unaligned accesses (CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS=y). One could
|
|
still enable it in config, just note that it will produce a lot of UBSAN
|
|
reports.
