[PATCH tip/core/rcu 5/7] lkdtm: Add tests for struct list corruption

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Mon Nov 14 2016 - 12:55:54 EST


From: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

When building under CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST, list addition and removal will be
sanity-checked. This validates that the check is working as expected by
setting up classic corruption attacks against list manipulations, available
with the new lkdtm tests CORRUPT_LIST_ADD and CORRUPT_LIST_DEL.
