Andrey Ryabinin 6aaa31aeb9 ubsan: remove overflow checks
Since GCC 8.0 -fsanitize=signed-integer-overflow doesn't work with
-fwrapv.  -fwrapv makes signed overflows defines and GCC essentially
disables ubsan checks.  On GCC < 8.0 -fwrapv doesn't have influence on
-fsanitize=signed-integer-overflow setting, so it kinda works but
generates false-positves and violates uaccess rules:

lib/iov_iter.o: warning: objtool: iovec_from_user()+0x22d: call to
__ubsan_handle_add_overflow() with UACCESS enabled

Disable signed overflow checks to avoid these problems.  Remove unsigned
overflow checks as well.  Unsigned overflow appeared as side effect of
commit cdf8a76fda ("ubsan: move cc-option tests into Kconfig"), but it
never worked (kernel doesn't boot).  And unsigned overflows are allowed by
C standard, so it just pointless.

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.
