[PATCH 9/9] mm: SLUB hardened usercopy support

Thu Jul 7 08:25:28 AEST 2016


Under CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY, this adds object size checking to the
SLUB allocator to catch any copies that may span objects.

Based on code from PaX and grsecurity.

 	   SLUB is a slab allocator that minimizes cache line usage
