Merge tag 'meminit-v5.3-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux
Pull structleak fix from Kees Cook: "Disable gcc-based stack variable auto-init under KASAN (Arnd Bergmann). This fixes a bunch of build warnings under KASAN and the gcc-plugin-based stack auto-initialization features (which are arguably redundant, so better to let KASAN control this)" * tag 'meminit-v5.3-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux: structleak: disable STRUCTLEAK_BYREF in combination with KASAN_STACK
