UBSAN: run-time undefined behavior sanity checker
UBSAN uses compile-time instrumentation to catch undefined behavior
(UB). Compiler inserts code that perform certain kinds of checks before
operations that could cause UB. If check fails (i.e. UB detected)
__ubsan_handle_* function called to print error message.
So the most of the work is done by compiler. This patch just implements
ubsan handlers printing errors.
GCC has this capability since 4.9.x [1] (see -fsanitize=undefined
option and its suboptions).
However GCC 5.x has more checkers implemented [2].
Article [3] has a bit more details about UBSAN in the GCC.

Issues which UBSAN has found thus far are:
Found bugs:
* out-of-bounds access - 97840cb67ff5 ("netfilter: nfnetlink: fix
insufficient validation in nfnetlink_bind")
undefined shifts:
* d48458d4a768 ("jbd2: use a better hash function for the revoke
table")
* 10632008b9e1 ("clockevents: Prevent shift out of bounds")
* 'x << -1' shift in ext4 -
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/<5444EF21.8020501@samsung.com>
* undefined rol32(0) -
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/<1449198241-20654-1-git-send-email-sasha.levin@oracle.com>
* undefined dirty_ratelimit calculation -
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/<566594E2.3050306@odin.com>
* undefined roundown_pow_of_two(0) -
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/<1449156616-11474-1-git-send-email-sasha.levin@oracle.com>
* [WONTFIX] undefined shift in __bpf_prog_run -
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/<CACT4Y+ZxoR3UjLgcNdUm4fECLMx2VdtfrENMtRRCdgHB2n0bJA@mail.gmail.com>
WONTFIX here because it should be fixed in bpf program, not in kernel.
signed overflows:
* 32a8df4e0b33f ("sched: Fix odd values in effective_load()
calculations")
* mul overflow in ntp -
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/<1449175608-1146-1-git-send-email-sasha.levin@oracle.com>
* incorrect conversion into rtc_time in rtc_time64_to_tm() -
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/<1449187944-11730-1-git-send-email-sasha.levin@oracle.com>
* unvalidated timespec in io_getevents() -
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/<CACT4Y+bBxVYLQ6LtOKrKtnLthqLHcw-BMp3aqP3mjdAvr9FULQ@mail.gmail.com>
* [NOTABUG] signed overflow in ktime_add_safe() -
