[RFC PATCH 13/21] list: Add integrity checking to hlist_nulls implementation

From: Will Deacon
Date: Tue Mar 24 2020 - 11:37:37 EST


Extend the 'hlist_nulls' implementation so that it can optionally
perform integrity checking in a similar fashion to the standard 'list'
code when CONFIG_CHECK_INTEGRITY_LIST=y.

On architectures without a trap value for ILLEGAL_POINTER_VALUE (i.e.
all 32-bit architectures), explicit pointer/poison checks can help to
mitigate UAF vulnerabilities such as the one exploited by "pingpongroot"
(CVE-2015-3636).
