[PATCH v3 11/11] mm: SLUB hardened usercopy support

Kees Cook keescook at chromium.org
Fri Jul 15 14:44:25 PDT 2016


Under CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY, this adds object size checking to the
SLUB allocator to catch any copies that may span objects. Includes a
redzone handling fix discovered by Michael Ellerman.

Based on code from PaX and grsecurity.

 	   SLUB is a slab allocator that minimizes cache line usage
 	   instead of managing queues of cached objects (SLAB approach).
