+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

I see, you are doing this in opposite way. My intuition it's more complicated than needed. But I didn't work on Kernel, maybe there are own specifics. It looks like you need to allow all types used in kernel one by one in the end.
We tried allow list like approach in google3. It usually goes slower then ignore list approach - sanitizer everything that pass, the rest go in ignore list, usually by src: or fun:. Then next stage shrinking ignore list by fixing or converting to attribute on functions.
@ramosian-glider has experience with other sanitizers, maybe you have opinion on the approach https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/115094#discussion_r1839130783?
