When the kernel is compiled with Clang, -fsanitize=bounds expands to -fsanitize=array-bounds and -fsanitize=local-bounds. Enabling -fsanitize=local-bounds with Clang has the unfortunate side-effect of inserting traps; this goes back to its original intent, which was as a hardening and not a debugging feature [1]. The same feature made its way into -fsanitize=bounds, but the traps remained. For that reason, -fsanitize=bounds was split into 'array-bounds' and 'local-bounds' [2]. Since 'local-bounds' doesn't behave like a normal sanitizer, enable it with Clang only if trapping behaviour was requested by CONFIG_UBSAN_TRAP=y. Add the UBSAN_BOUNDS_LOCAL config to Kconfig.ubsan to enable the 'local-bounds' option by default when UBSAN_TRAP is enabled.

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.
