Enable -fzero-init-padding-bits=all when available (GCC 15+). This will correctly zero padding bits in structs and unions that might have been left uninitialized, and will make sure there is no regression in union initializations[1]. This fixes the following stackinit KUnit selftest cases that had been XFAIL until now because there was no compiler support: ok 38 test_small_hole_static_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 3 ok 39 test_big_hole_static_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 124 ok 40 test_trailing_hole_static_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 7 ok 42 test_small_hole_dynamic_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 3 ok 43 test_big_hole_dynamic_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 124 ok 44 test_trailing_hole_dynamic_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 7 ok 58 test_small_hole_assigned_static_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 3 ok 59 test_big_hole_assigned_static_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 124 ok 60 test_trailing_hole_assigned_static_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 7 ok 62 test_small_hole_assigned_dynamic_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 3 ok 63 test_big_hole_assigned_dynamic_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 124 ok 64 test_trailing_hole_assigned_dynamic_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 7 All of the above now pass when built under GCC 15: ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run stackinit --arch=x86_64 \ --make_option CC=gcc-15 Suggested-by: Jakub Jelinek <jakub@redhat.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-toolchains/Z0hRrrNU3Q+ro2T7@tucnak/ [1] Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <kees@kernel.org> --- Cc: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org> Cc: Nathan Chancellor <nathan@kernel.org> Cc: Nicolas Schier <nicolas@fjasle.eu> Cc: linux-kbuild@vger.kernel.org --- scripts/Makefile.extrawarn | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+)
