GCC 15 introduces a regression in "= { 0 }" style initialization of
unions that Linux has depended on for eliminating uninitialized variable
contents. GCC does not seem likely to fix it[1], instead suggesting[2]
that affected projects start using -fzero-init-padding-bits=unions.
To avoid future surprises beyond just the current situation with unions,
enable -fzero-init-padding-bits=all when available (GCC 15+). This will
correctly zero padding bits in unions and structs that might have been
left uninitialized, and will make sure there is no immediate regression
in union initializations. As seen in the stackinit KUnit selftest union
cases, which were passing before, were failing under GCC 15:
not ok 18 test_small_start_old_zero
ok 29 test_small_start_dynamic_partial # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 63
ok 32 test_small_start_assigned_dynamic_partial # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 63
ok 67 test_small_start_static_partial # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 63
ok 70 test_small_start_static_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 56
ok 73 test_small_start_dynamic_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 56
ok 82 test_small_start_assigned_static_partial # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 63
ok 85 test_small_start_assigned_static_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 56
ok 88 test_small_start_assigned_dynamic_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 56
The above all now pass again with -fzero-init-padding-bits=all added.
This also fixes the following cases for struct initialization that had
been XFAIL until now because there was no compiler support beyond the
larger "-ftrivial-auto-var-init=zero" option:
ok 38 test_small_hole_static_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 3
ok 39 test_big_hole_static_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 124
ok 40 test_trailing_hole_static_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 7
ok 42 test_small_hole_dynamic_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 3
ok 43 test_big_hole_dynamic_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 124
ok 44 test_trailing_hole_dynamic_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 7
ok 58 test_small_hole_assigned_static_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 3
ok 59 test_big_hole_assigned_static_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 124
ok 60 test_trailing_hole_assigned_static_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 7
ok 62 test_small_hole_assigned_dynamic_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 3
ok 63 test_big_hole_assigned_dynamic_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 124
ok 64 test_trailing_hole_assigned_dynamic_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 7
All of the above now pass when built under GCC 15. Tests can be seen
with:
./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run stackinit --arch=x86_64 \
--make_option CC=gcc-15
Clang continues to fully initialize these kinds of variables[3] without
additional flags.

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 reStructuredText 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.
