BACKPORT: security: Implement Clang's stack initialization
CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL turns on stack initialization based on
-ftrivial-auto-var-init in Clang builds, which has greater coverage
than CONFIG_GCC_PLUGINS_STRUCTLEAK_BYREF_ALL.
-ftrivial-auto-var-init Clang option provides trivial initializers for
uninitialized local variables, variable fields and padding.
It has three possible values:
pattern - uninitialized locals are filled with a fixed pattern
(mostly 0xAA on 64-bit platforms, see https://reviews.llvm.org/D54604
for more details, but 0x000000AA for 32-bit pointers) likely to cause
crashes when uninitialized value is used;
zero (it's still debated whether this flag makes it to the official
Clang release) - uninitialized locals are filled with zeroes;
uninitialized (default) - uninitialized locals are left intact.
This patch uses only the "pattern" mode when CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL is
enabled.
Developers have the possibility to opt-out of this feature on a
per-variable basis by using __attribute__((uninitialized)), but such
use should be well justified in comments.
The Android 4.14 backport drops CC_HAS_AUTO_VAR_INIT, because Kconfig
is too old to support compiler feature checks.
