gcc-plugins: structleak: Generalize to all variable types
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 ...
