+=======================================
+
+Flexible power sequence configurations:
+--------------------------------------
+The Flexible Power Sequencer (FPS) allows each regulator to power up under
+hardware or software control. Additionally, each regulator can power on
+independently or among a group of other regulators with an adjustable power-up
+and power-down delays (sequencing). GPIO1, GPIO2, and GPIO3 can be programmed
+to be part of a sequence allowing external regulators to be sequenced along
+with internal regulators. 32KHz clock can be programmed to be part of a
+sequence.
+
+The flexible sequencing structure consists of two hardware enable inputs
+(EN0, EN1), and 3 master sequencing timers called FPS0, FPS1 and FPS2.
+Each master sequencing timer is programmable through its configuration
+register to have a hardware enable source (EN1 or EN2) or a software enable
+source (SW). When enabled/disabled, the master sequencing timer generates
+eight sequencing events on different time periods called slots. The time
+period between each event is programmable within the configuration register.
+Each regulator, GPIO1, GPIO2, GPIO3, and 32KHz clock has a flexible power
+sequence slave register which allows its enable source to be specified as
+a flexible power sequencer timer or a software bit. When a FPS source of
+regulators, GPIOs and clocks specifies the enable source to be a flexible
+power sequencer, the power up and power down delays can be specified in
+the regulators, GPIOs and clocks flexible power sequencer configuration
+registers.
+
+When FPS event cleared (set to LOW), regulators, GPIOs and 32KHz
+clock are set into following state at the sequencing event that
+corresponds to its flexible sequencer configuration register.
+ Sleep state: In this state, regulators, GPIOs
+ and 32KHz clock get disabled at
+ the sequencing event.
+ Global Low Power Mode (GLPM): In this state, regulators are set in
+ low power mode at the sequencing event.
+
+The configuration parameters of FPS is provided through sub-node "fps"
+and their child for FPS specific. The child node name for FPS are "fps0",
+"fps1", and "fps2" for FPS0, FPS1 and FPS2 respectively.
+
+The FPS configurations like FPS source, power up and power down slots for
+regulators, GPIOs and 32kHz clocks are provided in their respective
+configuration nodes which is explained in respective sub-system DT
+binding document.
+
+There is need for different FPS configuration parameters based on system
+state like when system state changed from active to suspend or active to
+power off (shutdown).
+
+Optional properties:
+-------------------
+-maxim,fps-event-source: u32, FPS event source like external
+ hardware input to PMIC i.e. EN0, EN1 or
+ software (SW).
+ The macros are defined on
+ dt-bindings/mfd/max77620.h
+ for different control source.
+ - MAX77620_FPS_EVENT_SRC_EN0
+ for hardware input pin EN0.
+ - MAX77620_FPS_EVENT_SRC_EN1
+ for hardware input pin EN1.
+ - MAX77620_FPS_EVENT_SRC_SW
+ for software control.
+
+-maxim,shutdown-fps-time-period-us: u32, FPS time period in microseconds
+ when system enters in to shutdown
+ state.
+
+-maxim,suspend-fps-time-period-us: u32, FPS time period in microseconds
+ when system enters in to suspend state.
+
+-maxim,device-state-on-disabled-event: u32, describe the PMIC state when FPS
+ event cleared (set to LOW) whether it
+ should go to sleep state or low-power
+ state. Following are valid values:
+ - MAX77620_FPS_INACTIVE_STATE_SLEEP
+ to set the PMIC state to sleep.
+ - MAX77620_FPS_INACTIVE_STATE_LOW_POWER
+ to set the PMIC state to low
+ power.
+ Absence of this property or other value
+ will not change device state when FPS
+ event get cleared.
+
+Here supported time periods by device in microseconds are as follows:
+MAX77620 supports 40, 80, 160, 320, 640, 1280, 2560 and 5120 microseconds.
+MAX20024 supports 20, 40, 80, 160, 320, 640, 1280 and 2540 microseconds.

+For DT binding details of different sub modules like GPIO, pincontrol,
+regulator, power, please refer respective device-tree binding document
+under their respective sub-system directories.

+I2C topology
+============
+
+There are a couple of reasons for building more complex i2c topologies
+than a straight-forward i2c bus with one adapter and one or more devices.
+
+1. A mux may be needed on the bus to prevent address collisions.
+
+2. The bus may be accessible from some external bus master, and arbitration
+ may be needed to determine if it is ok to access the bus.
+
+3. A device (particularly RF tuners) may want to avoid the digital noise
+ from the i2c bus, at least most of the time, and sits behind a gate
+ that has to be operated before the device can be accessed.
+
+Etc
+
+These constructs are represented as i2c adapter trees by Linux, where
+each adapter has a parent adapter (except the root adapter) and zero or
+more child adapters. The root adapter is the actual adapter that issues
+i2c transfers, and all adapters with a parent are part of an "i2c-mux"
+object (quoted, since it can also be an arbitrator or a gate).
+
+Depending of the particular mux driver, something happens when there is
+an i2c transfer on one of its child adapters. The mux driver can
+obviously operate a mux, but it can also do arbitration with an external
+bus master or open a gate. The mux driver has two operations for this,
+select and deselect. select is called before the transfer and (the
+optional) deselect is called after the transfer.
+
+
+Locking
+=======
+
+There are two variants of locking available to i2c muxes, they can be
+mux-locked or parent-locked muxes. As is evident from below, it can be
+useful to know if a mux is mux-locked or if it is parent-locked. The
+following list was correct at the time of writing:
+
+In drivers/i2c/muxes/
+i2c-arb-gpio-challenge Parent-locked
+i2c-mux-gpio Normally parent-locked, mux-locked iff
+ all involved gpio pins are controlled by the
+ same i2c root adapter that they mux.
+i2c-mux-pca9541 Parent-locked
+i2c-mux-pca954x Parent-locked
+i2c-mux-pinctrl Normally parent-locked, mux-locked iff
+ all involved pinctrl devices are controlled
+ by the same i2c root adapter that they mux.
+i2c-mux-reg Parent-locked
+
+In drivers/iio/
+imu/inv_mpu6050/ Mux-locked
+
+In drivers/media/
+dvb-frontends/m88ds3103 Parent-locked
+dvb-frontends/rtl2830 Parent-locked
+dvb-frontends/rtl2832 Mux-locked
+dvb-frontends/si2168 Mux-locked
+usb/cx231xx/ Parent-locked
+
+
+Mux-locked muxes
+----------------
+
+Mux-locked muxes does not lock the entire parent adapter during the
+full select-transfer-deselect transaction, only the muxes on the parent
+adapter are locked. Mux-locked muxes are mostly interesting if the
+select and/or deselect operations must use i2c transfers to complete
+their tasks. Since the parent adapter is not fully locked during the
+full transaction, unrelated i2c transfers may interleave the different
+stages of the transaction. This has the benefit that the mux driver
+may be easier and cleaner to implement, but it has some caveats.
+
+ML1. If you build a topology with a mux-locked mux being the parent
+ of a parent-locked mux, this might break the expectation from the
+ parent-locked mux that the root adapter is locked during the
+ transaction.
+
+ML2. It is not safe to build arbitrary topologies with two (or more)
+ mux-locked muxes that are not siblings, when there are address
+ collisions between the devices on the child adapters of these
+ non-sibling muxes.
+
+ I.e. the select-transfer-deselect transaction targeting e.g. device
+ address 0x42 behind mux-one may be interleaved with a similar
+ operation targeting device address 0x42 behind mux-two. The
+ intension with such a topology would in this hypothetical example
+ be that mux-one and mux-two should not be selected simultaneously,
+ but mux-locked muxes do not guarantee that in all topologies.
+
+ML3. A mux-locked mux cannot be used by a driver for auto-closing
+ gates/muxes, i.e. something that closes automatically after a given
+ number (one, in most cases) of i2c transfers. Unrelated i2c transfers
+ may creep in and close prematurely.
+
+ML4. If any non-i2c operation in the mux driver changes the i2c mux state,
+ the driver has to lock the root adapter during that operation.
+ Otherwise garbage may appear on the bus as seen from devices
+ behind the mux, when an unrelated i2c transfer is in flight during
+ the non-i2c mux-changing operation.
+
+
+Mux-locked Example
+------------------
+
+ .----------. .--------.
+ .--------. | mux- |-----| dev D1 |
+ | root |--+--| locked | '--------'
+ '--------' | | mux M1 |--. .--------.
+ | '----------' '--| dev D2 |
+ | .--------. '--------'
+ '--| dev D3 |
+ '--------'
+
+When there is an access to D1, this happens:
+
+ 1. Someone issues an i2c-transfer to D1.
+ 2. M1 locks muxes on its parent (the root adapter in this case).
+ 3. M1 calls ->select to ready the mux.
+ 4. M1 (presumably) does some i2c-transfers as part of its select.
+ These transfers are normal i2c-transfers that locks the parent
+ adapter.
+ 5. M1 feeds the i2c-transfer from step 1 to its parent adapter as a
+ normal i2c-transfer that locks the parent adapter.
+ 6. M1 calls ->deselect, if it has one.
+ 7. Same rules as in step 4, but for ->deselect.
+ 8. M1 unlocks muxes on its parent.
+
+This means that accesses to D2 are lockout out for the full duration
+of the entire operation. But accesses to D3 are possibly interleaved
+at any point.
+
+
+Parent-locked muxes
+-------------------
+
+Parent-locked muxes lock the parent adapter during the full select-
+transfer-deselect transaction. The implication is that the mux driver
+has to ensure that any and all i2c transfers through that parent
+adapter during the transaction are unlocked i2c transfers (using e.g.
+__i2c_transfer), or a deadlock will follow. There are a couple of
+caveats.
+
+PL1. If you build a topology with a parent-locked mux being the child
+ of another mux, this might break a possible assumption from the
+ child mux that the root adapter is unused between its select op
+ and the actual transfer (e.g. if the child mux is auto-closing
+ and the parent mux issus i2c-transfers as part of its select).
+ This is especially the case if the parent mux is mux-locked, but
+ it may also happen if the parent mux is parent-locked.
+
+PL2. If select/deselect calls out to other subsystems such as gpio,
+ pinctrl, regmap or iio, it is essential that any i2c transfers
+ caused by these subsystems are unlocked. This can be convoluted to
+ accomplish, maybe even impossible if an acceptably clean solution
+ is sought.
+
+
+Parent-locked Example
+---------------------
+
+ .----------. .--------.
+ .--------. | parent- |-----| dev D1 |
+ | root |--+--| locked | '--------'
+ '--------' | | mux M1 |--. .--------.
+ | '----------' '--| dev D2 |
+ | .--------. '--------'
+ '--| dev D3 |
+ '--------'
+
+When there is an access to D1, this happens:
+
+ 1. Someone issues an i2c-transfer to D1.
+ 2. M1 locks muxes on its parent (the root adapter in this case).
+ 3. M1 locks its parent adapter.
+ 4. M1 calls ->select to ready the mux.
+ 5. If M1 does any i2c-transfers (on this root adapter) as part of
+ its select, those transfers must be unlocked i2c-transfers so
+ that they do not deadlock the root adapter.
+ 6. M1 feeds the i2c-transfer from step 1 to the root adapter as an
+ unlocked i2c-transfer, so that it does not deadlock the parent
+ adapter.
+ 7. M1 calls ->deselect, if it has one.
+ 8. Same rules as in step 5, but for ->deselect.
+ 9. M1 unlocks its parent adapter.
+10. M1 unlocks muxes on its parent.
+
+
+This means that accesses to both D2 and D3 are locked out for the full
+duration of the entire operation.
+
+
+Complex Examples
+================
+
+Parent-locked mux as parent of parent-locked mux
+------------------------------------------------
+
+This is a useful topology, but it can be bad.
+
+ .----------. .----------. .--------.
+ .--------. | parent- |-----| parent- |-----| dev D1 |
+ | root |--+--| locked | | locked | '--------'
+ '--------' | | mux M1 |--. | mux M2 |--. .--------.
+ | '----------' | '----------' '--| dev D2 |
+ | .--------. | .--------. '--------'
+ '--| dev D4 | '--| dev D3 |
+ '--------' '--------'
+
+When any device is accessed, all other devices are locked out for
+the full duration of the operation (both muxes lock their parent,
+and specifically when M2 requests its parent to lock, M1 passes
+the buck to the root adapter).
+
+This topology is bad if M2 is an auto-closing mux and M1->select
+issues any unlocked i2c transfers on the root adapter that may leak
+through and be seen by the M2 adapter, thus closing M2 prematurely.
+
+
+Mux-locked mux as parent of mux-locked mux
+------------------------------------------
+
+This is a good topology.
+
+ .----------. .----------. .--------.
+ .--------. | mux- |-----| mux- |-----| dev D1 |
+ | root |--+--| locked | | locked | '--------'
+ '--------' | | mux M1 |--. | mux M2 |--. .--------.
+ | '----------' | '----------' '--| dev D2 |
+ | .--------. | .--------. '--------'
+ '--| dev D4 | '--| dev D3 |
+ '--------' '--------'
+
+When device D1 is accessed, accesses to D2 are locked out for the
+full duration of the operation (muxes on the top child adapter of M1
+are locked). But accesses to D3 and D4 are possibly interleaved at
+any point. Accesses to D3 locks out D1 and D2, but accesses to D4
+are still possibly interleaved.
+
+
+Mux-locked mux as parent of parent-locked mux
+---------------------------------------------
+
+This is probably a bad topology.
+
+ .----------. .----------. .--------.
+ .--------. | mux- |-----| parent- |-----| dev D1 |
+ | root |--+--| locked | | locked | '--------'
+ '--------' | | mux M1 |--. | mux M2 |--. .--------.
+ | '----------' | '----------' '--| dev D2 |
+ | .--------. | .--------. '--------'
+ '--| dev D4 | '--| dev D3 |
+ '--------' '--------'
+
+When device D1 is accessed, accesses to D2 and D3 are locked out
+for the full duration of the operation (M1 locks child muxes on the
+root adapter). But accesses to D4 are possibly interleaved at any
+point.
+
+This kind of topology is generally not suitable and should probably
+be avoided. The reason is that M2 probably assumes that there will
+be no i2c transfers during its calls to ->select and ->deselect, and
+if there are, any such transfers might appear on the slave side of M2
+as partial i2c transfers, i.e. garbage or worse. This might cause
+device lockups and/or other problems.
+
+The topology is especially troublesome if M2 is an auto-closing
+mux. In that case, any interleaved accesses to D4 might close M2
+prematurely, as might any i2c-transfers part of M1->select.
+
+But if M2 is not making the above stated assumption, and if M2 is not
+auto-closing, the topology is fine.
+
+
+Parent-locked mux as parent of mux-locked mux
+---------------------------------------------
+
+This is a good topology.
+
+ .----------. .----------. .--------.
+ .--------. | parent- |-----| mux- |-----| dev D1 |
+ | root |--+--| locked | | locked | '--------'
+ '--------' | | mux M1 |--. | mux M2 |--. .--------.
+ | '----------' | '----------' '--| dev D2 |
+ | .--------. | .--------. '--------'
+ '--| dev D4 | '--| dev D3 |
+ '--------' '--------'
+
+When D1 is accessed, accesses to D2 are locked out for the full
+duration of the operation (muxes on the top child adapter of M1
+are locked). Accesses to D3 and D4 are possibly interleaved at
+any point, just as is expected for mux-locked muxes.
+
+When D3 or D4 are accessed, everything else is locked out. For D3
+accesses, M1 locks the root adapter. For D4 accesses, the root
+adapter is locked directly.
+
+
+Two mux-locked sibling muxes
+----------------------------
+
+This is a good topology.
+
+ .--------.
+ .----------. .--| dev D1 |
+ | mux- |--' '--------'
+ .--| locked | .--------.

+# Kernel Self-Protection
+
+Kernel self-protection is the design and implementation of systems and
+structures within the Linux kernel to protect against security flaws in
+the kernel itself. This covers a wide range of issues, including removing
+entire classes of bugs, blocking security flaw exploitation methods,
+and actively detecting attack attempts. Not all topics are explored in
+this document, but it should serve as a reasonable starting point and
+answer any frequently asked questions. (Patches welcome, of course!)
+
+In the worst-case scenario, we assume an unprivileged local attacker
+has arbitrary read and write access to the kernel's memory. In many
+cases, bugs being exploited will not provide this level of access,
+but with systems in place that defend against the worst case we'll
+cover the more limited cases as well. A higher bar, and one that should
+still be kept in mind, is protecting the kernel against a _privileged_
+local attacker, since the root user has access to a vastly increased
+attack surface. (Especially when they have the ability to load arbitrary
+kernel modules.)
+
+The goals for successful self-protection systems would be that they
+are effective, on by default, require no opt-in by developers, have no
+performance impact, do not impede kernel debugging, and have tests. It
+is uncommon that all these goals can be met, but it is worth explicitly
+mentioning them, since these aspects need to be explored, dealt with,
+and/or accepted.
+
+
+## Attack Surface Reduction
+
+The most fundamental defense against security exploits is to reduce the
+areas of the kernel that can be used to redirect execution. This ranges
+from limiting the exposed APIs available to userspace, making in-kernel
+APIs hard to use incorrectly, minimizing the areas of writable kernel
+memory, etc.
+
+### Strict kernel memory permissions
+
+When all of kernel memory is writable, it becomes trivial for attacks
+to redirect execution flow. To reduce the availability of these targets
+the kernel needs to protect its memory with a tight set of permissions.
+
+#### Executable code and read-only data must not be writable
+
+Any areas of the kernel with executable memory must not be writable.
+While this obviously includes the kernel text itself, we must consider
+all additional places too: kernel modules, JIT memory, etc. (There are
+temporary exceptions to this rule to support things like instruction
+alternatives, breakpoints, kprobes, etc. If these must exist in a
+kernel, they are implemented in a way where the memory is temporarily
+made writable during the update, and then returned to the original
+permissions.)
+
+In support of this are (the poorly named) CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA and
+CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX, which seek to make sure that code is not
+writable, data is not executable, and read-only data is neither writable
+nor executable.
+
+#### Function pointers and sensitive variables must not be writable
+
+Vast areas of kernel memory contain function pointers that are looked
+up by the kernel and used to continue execution (e.g. descriptor/vector
+tables, file/network/etc operation structures, etc). The number of these
+variables must be reduced to an absolute minimum.
+
+Many such variables can be made read-only by setting them "const"
+so that they live in the .rodata section instead of the .data section
+of the kernel, gaining the protection of the kernel's strict memory
+permissions as described above.
+
+For variables that are initialized once at __init time, these can
+be marked with the (new and under development) __ro_after_init
+attribute.
+
+What remains are variables that are updated rarely (e.g. GDT). These
+will need another infrastructure (similar to the temporary exceptions
+made to kernel code mentioned above) that allow them to spend the rest
+of their lifetime read-only. (For example, when being updated, only the
+CPU thread performing the update would be given uninterruptible write
+access to the memory.)
+
+#### Segregation of kernel memory from userspace memory
+
+The kernel must never execute userspace memory. The kernel must also never
+access userspace memory without explicit expectation to do so. These
+rules can be enforced either by support of hardware-based restrictions
+(x86's SMEP/SMAP, ARM's PXN/PAN) or via emulation (ARM's Memory Domains).
+By blocking userspace memory in this way, execution and data parsing
+cannot be passed to trivially-controlled userspace memory, forcing
+attacks to operate entirely in kernel memory.
+
+### Reduced access to syscalls
+
+One trivial way to eliminate many syscalls for 64-bit systems is building
+without CONFIG_COMPAT. However, this is rarely a feasible scenario.
+
+The "seccomp" system provides an opt-in feature made available to
+userspace, which provides a way to reduce the number of kernel entry
+points available to a running process. This limits the breadth of kernel
+code that can be reached, possibly reducing the availability of a given
+bug to an attack.
+
+An area of improvement would be creating viable ways to keep access to
+things like compat, user namespaces, BPF creation, and perf limited only
+to trusted processes. This would keep the scope of kernel entry points
+restricted to the more regular set of normally available to unprivileged
+userspace.
+
+### Restricting access to kernel modules
+
+The kernel should never allow an unprivileged user the ability to
+load specific kernel modules, since that would provide a facility to
+unexpectedly extend the available attack surface. (The on-demand loading
+of modules via their predefined subsystems, e.g. MODULE_ALIAS_*, is
+considered "expected" here, though additional consideration should be
+given even to these.) For example, loading a filesystem module via an
+unprivileged socket API is nonsense: only the root or physically local
+user should trigger filesystem module loading. (And even this can be up
+for debate in some scenarios.)
+
+To protect against even privileged users, systems may need to either
+disable module loading entirely (e.g. monolithic kernel builds or
+modules_disabled sysctl), or provide signed modules (e.g.
+CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_FORCE, or dm-crypt with LoadPin), to keep from having
+root load arbitrary kernel code via the module loader interface.
+
+
+## Memory integrity
+
+There are many memory structures in the kernel that are regularly abused
+to gain execution control during an attack, By far the most commonly
+understood is that of the stack buffer overflow in which the return
+address stored on the stack is overwritten. Many other examples of this
+kind of attack exist, and protections exist to defend against them.
+
+### Stack buffer overflow
+
+The classic stack buffer overflow involves writing past the expected end
+of a variable stored on the stack, ultimately writing a controlled value
+to the stack frame's stored return address. The most widely used defense
+is the presence of a stack canary between the stack variables and the
+return address (CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR), which is verified just before
+the function returns. Other defenses include things like shadow stacks.
+
+### Stack depth overflow
+
+A less well understood attack is using a bug that triggers the
+kernel to consume stack memory with deep function calls or large stack
+allocations. With this attack it is possible to write beyond the end of
+the kernel's preallocated stack space and into sensitive structures. Two
+important changes need to be made for better protections: moving the
+sensitive thread_info structure elsewhere, and adding a faulting memory
+hole at the bottom of the stack to catch these overflows.
+
+### Heap memory integrity
+
+The structures used to track heap free lists can be sanity-checked during
+allocation and freeing to make sure they aren't being used to manipulate
+other memory areas.
+
+### Counter integrity
+
+Many places in the kernel use atomic counters to track object references
+or perform similar lifetime management. When these counters can be made
+to wrap (over or under) this traditionally exposes a use-after-free
+flaw. By trapping atomic wrapping, this class of bug vanishes.
+
+### Size calculation overflow detection
+
+Similar to counter overflow, integer overflows (usually size calculations)
+need to be detected at runtime to kill this class of bug, which
+traditionally leads to being able to write past the end of kernel buffers.
+
+
+## Statistical defenses
+
+While many protections can be considered deterministic (e.g. read-only
+memory cannot be written to), some protections provide only statistical
+defense, in that an attack must gather enough information about a
+running system to overcome the defense. While not perfect, these do
+provide meaningful defenses.
+
+### Canaries, blinding, and other secrets
+
+It should be noted that things like the stack canary discussed earlier
+are technically statistical defenses, since they rely on a (leakable)
+secret value.
+
+Blinding literal values for things like JITs, where the executable
+contents may be partially under the control of userspace, need a similar
+secret value.
+
+It is critical that the secret values used must be separate (e.g.
+different canary per stack) and high entropy (e.g. is the RNG actually
+working?) in order to maximize their success.
+
+### Kernel Address Space Layout Randomization (KASLR)
+
+Since the location of kernel memory is almost always instrumental in
+mounting a successful attack, making the location non-deterministic
+raises the difficulty of an exploit. (Note that this in turn makes
+the value of leaks higher, since they may be used to discover desired
+memory locations.)
+
+#### Text and module base
+
+By relocating the physical and virtual base address of the kernel at
+boot-time (CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE), attacks needing kernel code will be
+frustrated. Additionally, offsetting the module loading base address
+means that even systems that load the same set of modules in the same
+order every boot will not share a common base address with the rest of
+the kernel text.
+
+#### Stack base
+
+If the base address of the kernel stack is not the same between processes,
+or even not the same between syscalls, targets on or beyond the stack
+become more difficult to locate.
+
+#### Dynamic memory base
+
+Much of the kernel's dynamic memory (e.g. kmalloc, vmalloc, etc) ends up
+being relatively deterministic in layout due to the order of early-boot
+initializations. If the base address of these areas is not the same
+between boots, targeting them is frustrated, requiring a leak specific
+to the region.
+
+
+## Preventing Leaks
+
+Since the locations of sensitive structures are the primary target for
+attacks, it is important to defend against leaks of both kernel memory
+addresses and kernel memory contents (since they may contain kernel
+addresses or other sensitive things like canary values).
+
+### Unique identifiers
+
+Kernel memory addresses must never be used as identifiers exposed to
+userspace. Instead, use an atomic counter, an idr, or similar unique
+identifier.
+
+### Memory initialization
+
+Memory copied to userspace must always be fully initialized. If not
+explicitly memset(), this will require changes to the compiler to make
+sure structure holes are cleared.
+
+### Memory poisoning
+
+When releasing memory, it is best to poison the contents (clear stack on
+syscall return, wipe heap memory on a free), to avoid reuse attacks that
+rely on the old contents of memory. This frustrates many uninitialized
+variable attacks, stack info leaks, heap info leaks, and use-after-free
+attacks.
+
+### Destination tracking
+
+To help kill classes of bugs that result in kernel addresses being
+written to userspace, the destination of writes needs to be tracked. If
+the buffer is destined for userspace (e.g. seq_file backed /proc files),
+it should automatically censor sensitive values.

- there in a signal handler intead of in the kernel?
+ there in a signal handler instead of in the kernel?
A: mmap() is not on the list of safe async handler functions and even
if mmap() would work it still requires locking or nasty tricks to
keep track of the allocation state there.
