Summary:
Support for this option is needed for building Linux kernel.
This is a very frequently requested feature by kernel developers.
More details : https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/4/4/601
GCC option description for -fdelete-null-pointer-checks:
This Assume that programs cannot safely dereference null pointers,
and that no code or data element resides at address zero.
-fno-delete-null-pointer-checks is the inverse of this implying that
null pointer dereferencing is not undefined.
This feature is implemented in as the function attribute
"null-pointer-is-valid"="true".
This CL only adds the attribute on the function.
It also strips "nonnull" attributes from function arguments but
keeps the related warnings unchanged.
Corresponding LLVM change rL336613 already updated the
optimizations to not treat null pointer dereferencing
as undefined if the attribute is present.

attributes.
These patches don't work because we can't currently access the parameter
information in a reliable way when building attributes. I thought this
would be relatively straightforward to fix, but it seems not to be the
case. Fixing this will requrie a substantial re-plumbing of machinery to
allow attributes to be handled in this location, and several other fixes
to the attribute machinery should probably be made at the same time. All
of this will make the patch .... substantially more complicated.
Reverting for now as there are active miscompiles caused by the current
version.

declarations and calls instead of just definitions, and then teach it to
*not* attach such attributes even if the source code contains them.
This follows the design direction discussed on cfe-dev here:
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/cfe-dev/2017-January/052066.html
The idea is that for C standard library builtins, even if the library
vendor chooses to annotate their routines with __attribute__((nonnull)),
we will ignore those attributes which pertain to pointer arguments that
have an associated size. This allows the widespread (and seemingly
reasonable) pattern of calling these routines with a null pointer and
a zero size. I have only done this for the library builtins currently
recognized by Clang, but we can now trivially add to this set. This will
be controllable with -fno-builtin if anyone should care to do so.
Note that this does *not* change the AST. As a consequence, warnings,
static analysis, and source code rewriting are not impacted.
This isn't even a regression on any platform as neither Clang nor LLVM
have ever put 'nonnull' onto these arguments for declarations. All this
patch does is enable it on other declarations while preventing us from
ever accidentally enabling it on these libc functions due to a library
vendor.
It will also allow any other libraries using this annotation to gain
optimizations based on the annotation even when only a declaration is
visible.

As a follow-up to r212835, also add the LLVM nonnull function attribute when
__attribute__((returns_nonnull)) is provided.

We now have an LLVM-level nonnull attribute that can be applied to function
parameters, and we emit it for reference types (as of r209723), but did not
emit it when an __attribute__((nonnull)) was provided. Now we will.
