Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:
"This happens to be a small one (due to summer I guess), and all
hardening related:
- Randomized kmalloc caches, by GONG, Ruiqi.
A new opt-in hardening feature to make heap spraying harder. It
creates multiple (16) copies of kmalloc caches, reducing the chance
of an attacker-controllable allocation site to land in the same
slab as e.g. an allocation site with use-after-free vulnerability.
The selection of the copy is derived from the allocation site
address, including a per-boot random seed.
- Stronger typing for hardened freelists in SLUB, by Jann Horn
Introduces a custom type for hardened freelist entries instead of
"void *" as those are not directly dereferencable. While reviewing
this, I've noticed opportunities for further cleanups in that code
and added those on top"
