Merge tag 'gcc-plugins-v4.14-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux
Pull gcc plugins update from Kees Cook:
"This finishes the porting work on randstruct, and introduces a new
option to structleak, both noted below:
- For the randstruct plugin, enable automatic randomization of
structures that are entirely function pointers (along with a couple
designated initializer fixes).
- For the structleak plugin, provide an option to perform zeroing
initialization of all otherwise uninitialized stack variables that
are passed by reference (Ard Biesheuvel)"
* tag 'gcc-plugins-v4.14-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux:
gcc-plugins: structleak: add option to init all vars used as byref args
randstruct: Enable function pointer struct detection
drivers/net/wan/z85230.c: Use designated initializers
drm/amd/powerplay: rv: Use designated initializers
