Subject[PATCH tip/core/rcu 6/7] lkdtm: Add tests for struct list corruption
Message-ID<s8ZE5-89K-1@gated-at.bofh.it>
From: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>

When building under CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST, list addition and removal will be
sanity-checked. This validates that the check is working as expected by
setting up classic corruption attacks against list manipulations, available
with the new lkdtm tests CORRUPT_LIST_ADD and CORRUPT_LIST_DEL.
