[PATCHv2] lkdtm: Add READ_AFTER_FREE test
From: Laura Abbott
Date: Thu Feb 18 2016 - 20:15:49 EST
In a similar manner to WRITE_AFTER_FREE, add a READ_AFTER_FREE
test to test free poisoning features. Sample output when
no sanitization is present:
[ 22.414170] lkdtm: Performing direct entry READ_AFTER_FREE
[ 22.415124] lkdtm: Value in memory before free: 12345678
[ 22.415900] lkdtm: Attempting to read from freed memory
[ 22.416394] lkdtm: Successfully read value: 12345678
with sanitization:
[ 25.874585] lkdtm: Performing direct entry READ_AFTER_FREE
[ 25.875527] lkdtm: Value in memory before free: 12345678
[ 25.876382] lkdtm: Attempting to read from freed memory
[ 25.876900] general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP

I split this out from the previous series
(http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.mm/143486) since
that series is going to be going in more incrementally.
Having the test in sooner than later will be helpful I think
v2: Tweaked the output text to be clearer about what's going on.
Switched to using the middle of an allocated block instead of the beginning.
