UBSan (Undefined Behavior Sanitizer) is a tool implemented using
compiler instrumentation at runtime that allows checking for
statements whose output is not deterministic or defined by the C
standard. Compiling and running OpenSBI with UBSan instrumentation
will print a message in the console if any sentence performs such
an action.
Support involves two main components:
1. The UBSan implementation hooks (derived from NetBSD),
used by the compiler to handle the check output.
2. A test suite integrated with the SBI unit test framework to
verify correct operation at runtime.
Usage:
make UBSAN=y PLATFORM=generic ...
The test suite is built when both UBSAN=y and CONFIG_SBIUNIT=y are
enabled.
When UBSan is enabled, FW_PAYLOAD_OFFSET may need to be increased
due to the size increase added by the instrumentation. A
value of 0x400000 has been tested.
UBSan adds runtime overhead and is intended for development builds
only, not for production.
Note: This patch marks __stack_chk_guard in sbi_init.c as a weak
symbol to prevent multiple definition errors at compile time with
UBSan instrumentation enabled. This resolves the conflict
between the .globl definitions in sbi_init.c and test_head.S.
