bpf: avoid UB in usages of the __imm_insn macro
[Changes from V2: - no-strict-aliasing is only applied when building with GCC. - cpumask_failure.c is excluded, as it doesn't use __imm_insn.] The __imm_insn macro is defined in bpf_misc.h as: #define __imm_insn(name, expr) [name]"i"(*(long *)&(expr)) This may lead to type-punning and strict aliasing rules violations in it's typical usage where the address of a struct bpf_insn is passed as expr, like in: __imm_insn(st_mem, BPF_ST_MEM(BPF_W, BPF_REG_1, offsetof(struct __sk_buff, mark), 42)) Where: #define BPF_ST_MEM(SIZE, DST, OFF, IMM) \ ((struct bpf_insn) { \ .code = BPF_ST | BPF_SIZE(SIZE) | BPF_MEM, \ .dst_reg = DST, \ .src_reg = 0, \ .off = OFF, \ .imm = IMM }) In all the actual instances of this in the BPF selftests the value is fed to a volatile asm statement as soon as it gets read from memory, and thus it is unlikely anti-aliasing rules breakage may lead to misguided optimizations. However, GCC detects the potential problem (indirectly) by issuing a warning stating that a temporary <Uxxxxxx> is used uninitialized, where the temporary corresponds to the memory read by *(long *). This patch adds -fno-strict-aliasing to the compilation flags of the particular selftests that do type punning via __imm_insn, only for GCC. Tested in master bpf-next. No regressions.
