+The ``wraps`` attribute can be used with type or variable declarations to
+denote that arithmetic containing attributed types or variables have defined
+overflow behavior. Specifically, the behavior is defined as being consistent
+with two's complement wrap-around. For the purposes of sanitizers or warnings
+that concern themselves with the definedness of integer arithmetic, they will
+cease to instrument or warn about arithmetic that directly involves operands
+attributed with the ``wraps`` attribute.
+
+The ``signed-integer-overflow``, ``unsigned-integer-overflow``,
+``implicit-signed-integer-truncation`` and the
+``implicit-unsigned-integer-truncation`` sanitizers will not instrument
+arithmetic containing any operands attributed by ``wraps``. Similarly, the
+``-Winteger-overflow`` warning is disabled for these instances.
+
+The following example shows how one may disable ``signed-integer-overflow``
+sanitizer instrumentation using ``__attribute__((wraps))`` on a type definition
+when building with ``-fsanitize=signed-integer-overflow``:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ typedef int __attribute__((wraps)) wrapping_int;
+
+ void foo(void) {
+ wrapping_int A = INT_MAX;
+ ++A; // no sanitizer instrumentation
+ }
+
+``wraps`` may also be used with function parameters or declarations of
+variables as well as members of structures. Using ``wraps`` on non-integer
+types will result in a ``-Wuseless-wraps-attribute`` warning. One may disable
+this warning with ``-Wno-useless-wraps-attribute``.
+
+``wraps`` persists through implicit type promotions and will be applied to the
+result type of arithmetic expressions containing a wrapping operand.
+``-Wimplicitly-discarded-wraps-attribute`` warnings can be caused in situations
+where the ``wraps`` attribute cannot persist through implicit type conversions.
+Disable this with ``-Wno-implicitly-discarded-wraps-attribute``.

+The ``no_wraps`` attribute can be used to annotate types or variables as
+non-wrapping. This may serve as a helpful annotation to readers of code that
+particular arithmetic expressions involving these types or variables are not
+meant to wrap-around.
+
+When overflow or truncation sanitizer instrumentation is modified at the
+type-level through `SSCLs
+<https://clang.llvm.org/docs/SanitizerSpecialCaseList.html>`_, ``no_wraps`` or
+``wraps`` may be used to override sanitizer behavior.
+
+For example, one may specify an ignorelist (with ``-fsanitize-ignorelist=``) to
+disable the ``signed-integer-overflow`` sanitizer for all types:
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+ [signed-integer-overflow]
+ type:*
+
+``no_wraps`` can override the behavior provided by the ignorelist to

They, and other kernel projects that use sanitizers, really want a wraps or wraps-equivalent _thing_.
