Enable more hardening options. Note BUG_ON_DATA_CORRUPTION selects DEBUG_LIST and is essentially just a synonym for it. DEBUG_SG, DEBUG_NOTIFIERS, DEBUG_LIST, DEBUG_CREDENTIALS and SCHED_STACK_END_CHECK should all be low overhead and just add a few extra checks. SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM, and SLUB_DEBUG_ON will add some overhead to the SLAB allocator, but nothing that should be meaningful for skiroot. Unselecting SLAB_MERGE_DEFAULT causes the SLAB to use more memory, but the skiroot kernel shouldn't be memory constrained on any of our systems, all it does is run a small bootloader. Disabling merging has some security/robustness benefit as it means a user-after-free or overflow will be limited to the objects in that slab, rather than potentially affecting objects from unrelated slabs that have been merged. Note also that slab merging is disabled anyway by enabling SLUB_DEBUG_ON, because of the SLAB_NEVER_MERGE mask.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
