Subject: [PATCH 0/4] RFC: add init_on_alloc/init_on_free boot options
Provide init_on_alloc and init_on_free boot options.
These are aimed at preventing possible information leaks and making the
control-flow bugs that depend on uninitialized values more deterministic.
Enabling either of the options guarantees that the memory returned by the
page allocator and SL[AOU]B is initialized with zeroes.
Enabling init_on_free also guarantees that pages and heap objects are
initialized right after they're freed, so it won't be possible to access
stale data by using a dangling pointer.
Alexander Potapenko (4):
mm: security: introduce init_on_alloc=1 and init_on_free=1 boot
options
lib: introduce test_meminit module
gfp: mm: introduce __GFP_NOINIT
net: apply __GFP_NOINIT to AF_UNIX sk_buff allocations
