[PATCH 2/7] kasan: update reported bug types for kernel memory accesses

From: Andrey Konovalov
Date: Thu Sep 03 2015 - 10:49:18 EST


Update the names of the bad access types to better reflect the type of
the access that happended and make these error types "literals" that can
be used for classification and deduplication in scripts.
