------------------------------------------------------ From: Andrey Konovalov andreyknvl@google.com Subject: kasan: don't emit builtin calls when sanitization is off

With KASAN enabled the kernel has two different memset() functions, one with KASAN checks (memset) and one without (__memset). KASAN uses some macro tricks to use the proper version where required. For example memset() calls in mm/slub.c are without KASAN checks, since they operate on poisoned slab object metadata.

The issue is that clang emits memset() calls even when there is no memset() in the source code. They get linked with improper memset() implementation and the kernel fails to boot due to a huge amount of KASAN reports during early boot stages.

The solution is to add -fno-builtin flag for files with KASAN_SANITIZE := n marker.
