Kees Cook c637693b20 ubsan: remove UBSAN_MISC in favor of individual options
Make each UBSAN option individually selectable and remove UBSAN_MISC which
no longer has any purpose.  Add help text for each Kconfig, and include a
reference to the Clang sanitizer documentation.  Disable unsigned overflow
by default (not available with GCC and makes x86 unbootable with Clang).
Disable unreachable when objtool is in use (redundant and confuses things:
instrumentation appears at unreachable locations).

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.
