(actually, this is incorrect.  think about how twos-complement
arithmetic works.  first you negate every bit, so 8000..000 turns into
7fff..fff, then you add one, returning to 8000..000, so -LLONG_MIN ==
LLONG_MIN)

I have and it doesn't produce the problem.  My config:

CONFIG_UBSAN=y
# CONFIG_UBSAN_TRAP is not set
CONFIG_CC_HAS_UBSAN_BOUNDS=y
CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS=y
CONFIG_UBSAN_ONLY_BOUNDS=y
CONFIG_UBSAN_SHIFT=y
CONFIG_UBSAN_DIV_ZERO=y
CONFIG_UBSAN_BOOL=y
CONFIG_UBSAN_ENUM=y
# CONFIG_UBSAN_ALIGNMENT is not set
CONFIG_UBSAN_SANITIZE_ALL=y
# CONFIG_TEST_UBSAN is not set

I even went as far as adding printks to be sure I'm hitting it:

hole length 0x8000000000000000
data length 0x8000000000000000

Are you compiling with:
KBUILD_CFLAGS   += -fno-strict-overflow

Or have you done something weird?  What compiler version are you using?
