This adjusts structleak to also work with non-struct types when they are passed by reference, since those variables may leak just like anything else. This is exposed via an improved set of Kconfig options. (This does mean structleak is slightly misnamed now.) Building with CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_STRUCTLEAK_BYREF_ALL should give the kernel complete initialization coverage of all stack variables passed by reference, including padding (see lib/test_stackinit.c). Using CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_STRUCTLEAK_VERBOSE to count added initializations under defconfig: ..._BYREF: 5945 added initializations ..._BYREF_ALL: 16606 added initializations There is virtually no change to text+data size (both have less than 0.05% growth): text data bss dec hex filename 19502103 5051456 1917000 26470559 193e89f vmlinux.stock 19513412 5051456 1908808 26473676 193f4cc vmlinux.byref 19516974 5047360 1900616 26464950 193d2b6 vmlinux.byref_all The measured performance difference is in the noise for hackbench and kernel build benchmarks: Stock: 5x hackbench -g 20 -l 1000 Mean: 10.649s Std Dev: 0.339 5x kernel build (4-way parallel) Mean: 261.98s Std Dev: 1.53 CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_STRUCTLEAK_BYREF: 5x hackbench -g 20 -l 1000 Mean: 10.540s Std Dev: 0.233 5x kernel build (4-way parallel) Mean: 260.52s Std Dev: 1.31 CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_STRUCTLEAK_BYREF_ALL: 5x hackbench -g 20 -l 1000 Mean: 10.320 Std Dev: 0.413 5x kernel build (4-way parallel) Mean: 260.10 Std Dev: 0.86 This does not yet solve missing padding initialization for structures on the stack that are never passed by reference (which should be a tiny minority). Hopefully this will be more easily addressed by upstream compiler fixes after clarifying the C11 padding initialization specification.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
