[PATCH 5.12 169/178] mm/slub: clarify verification reporting

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Jun 21 2021 - 12:53:08 EST


From: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 8669dbab2ae56085c128894b181c2aa50f97e368 upstream.

Patch series "Actually fix freelist pointer vs redzoning", v4.

This fixes redzoning vs the freelist pointer (both for middle-position
and very small caches). Both are "theoretical" fixes, in that I see no
evidence of such small-sized caches actually be used in the kernel, but
that's no reason to let the bugs continue to exist, especially since
people doing local development keep tripping over it. :)

This patch (of 3):

Instead of repeating "Redzone" and "Poison", clarify which sides of
those zones got tripped. Additionally fix column alignment in the
trailer.

Before:

BUG test (Tainted: G B ): Redzone overwritten
...
Redzone (____ptrval____): bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb ........
Object (____ptrval____): f6 f4 a5 40 1d e8 ...@..
Redzone (____ptrval____): 1a aa ..
Padding (____ptrval____): 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........

After:

BUG test (Tainted: G B ): Right Redzone overwritten
...
Redzone (____ptrval____): bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb ........
Object (____ptrval____): f6 f4 a5 40 1d e8 ...@..
Redzone (____ptrval____): 1a aa ..
Padding (____ptrval____): 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........

The earlier commits that slowly resulted in the "Before" reporting were:

d86bd1bece6f ("mm/slub: support left redzone")
ffc79d288000 ("slub: use print_hex_dump")
2492268472e7 ("SLUB: change error reporting format to follow lockdep loosely")
