kmalloc() redzone improvements by Feng Tang From cover letter [1]: kmalloc's API family is critical for mm, and one of its nature is that it will round up the request size to a fixed one (mostly power of 2). When user requests memory for '2^n + 1' bytes, actually 2^(n+1) bytes could be allocated, so there is an extra space than what is originally requested. This patchset tries to extend the redzone sanity check to the extra kmalloced buffer than requested, to better detect un-legitimate access to it. (depends on SLAB_STORE_USER & SLAB_RED_ZONE) [1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221021032405.1825078-1-feng.tang@intel.com/
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.
