Subject: [RFC v1] mm: SLAB freelist randomization
Provide an optional config (CONFIG_FREELIST_RANDOM) to randomize the
SLAB freelist. This security feature reduces the predictability of
the kernel slab allocator against heap overflows.
Randomized lists are pre-computed using a Fisher-Yates shuffle and
re-used on slab creation for performance.
