The stack initialization selftests were checking scalars, strings,
and structs, but not unions. Add union tests (which are mostly identical
setup to structs). This catches the recent union initialization behavioral
changes seen in GCC 15. Before GCC 15, this new test passes:
ok 18 test_small_start_old_zero
With GCC 15, it fails:
not ok 18 test_small_start_old_zero
Specifically, a union with a larger member where a smaller member is
initialized with the older "= { 0 }" syntax:
union test_small_start {
char one:1;
char two;
short three;
unsigned long four;
struct big_struct {
unsigned long array[8];
} big;
};
This is a regression in compiler behavior that Linux has depended on.
GCC does not seem likely to fix it, instead suggesting that affected
projects start using -fzero-init-padding-bits=unions:

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.
