[Sanitizers] UBSan unreachable incompatible with ASan in the presence of `noreturn` calls
Summary:
UBSan wants to detect when unreachable code is actually reached, so it
adds instrumentation before every `unreachable` instruction. However,
the optimizer will remove code after calls to functions marked with
`noreturn`. To avoid this UBSan removes `noreturn` from both the call
instruction as well as from the function itself. Unfortunately, ASan
relies on this annotation to unpoison the stack by inserting calls to
`_asan_handle_no_return` before `noreturn` functions. This is important
for functions that do not return but access the the stack memory, e.g.,
unwinder functions *like* `longjmp` (`longjmp` itself is actually
"double-proofed" via its interceptor). The result is that when ASan and
UBSan are combined, the `noreturn` attributes are missing and ASan
cannot unpoison the stack, so it has false positives when stack
unwinding is used.
Changes:
# UBSan now adds the `expect_noreturn` attribute whenever it removes
the `noreturn` attribute from a function
# ASan additionally checks for the presence of this attribute
Generated code:
```
call void @__asan_handle_no_return // Additionally inserted to avoid false positives
call void @longjmp
call void @__asan_handle_no_return
call void @__ubsan_handle_builtin_unreachable
unreachable
```
The second call to `__asan_handle_no_return` is redundant. This will be
cleaned up in a follow-up patch.
