Subject: [PATCH] lkdtm: Add tests for LIST_POISON and ZERO_SIZE_PTR
This adds two tests, to check that a read or write to LIST_POISON1 and
ZERO_SIZE_PTR are blocked.
The default values for both (256 and 16) typically fall in the range
of valid user space addresses. However in general mmap_min_addr is 64K,
which prevents user space from mapping anything at those addresses.
However it's feasible that an attacker will be able to find a way to
cause an access at an offset from either value, and if that offset is
greater than 64K then they can access user space again.
To simulate that case, in the test we create a user mapping at
mmap_min_addr, and offset the pointer by that amount. This gives the
test the greatest chance of failing (ie. an access succeeding).
