Subject: [PATCH] mm: Add SLUB free list pointer obfuscation
This SLUB free list pointer obfuscation code is modified from Brad
Spengler/PaX Team's code in the last public patch of grsecurity/PaX based
on my understanding of the code. Changes or omissions from the original
code are mine and don't reflect the original grsecurity/PaX code.
This adds a per-cache random value to SLUB caches that is XORed with
their freelist pointers. This adds nearly zero overhead and frustrates the
very common heap overflow exploitation method of overwriting freelist
pointers. A recent example of the attack is written up here:
http://cyseclabs.com/blog/cve-2016-6187-heap-off-by-one-exploit
This is based on patches by Daniel Micay, and refactored to avoid lots
of #ifdef code.
