lkdtm: Add READ_AFTER_FREE test
In a similar manner to WRITE_AFTER_FREE, add a READ_AFTER_FREE test to test free poisoning features. Sample output when no sanitization is present: # echo READ_AFTER_FREE > /sys/kernel/debug/provoke-crash/DIRECT [ 17.542473] lkdtm: Performing direct entry READ_AFTER_FREE [ 17.543866] lkdtm: Value in memory before free: 12345678 [ 17.545212] lkdtm: Attempting bad read from freed memory [ 17.546542] lkdtm: Memory was not poisoned with slub_debug=P: # echo READ_AFTER_FREE > /sys/kernel/debug/provoke-crash/DIRECT [ 22.415531] lkdtm: Performing direct entry READ_AFTER_FREE [ 22.416366] lkdtm: Value in memory before free: 12345678 [ 22.417137] lkdtm: Attempting bad read from freed memory [ 22.417897] lkdtm: Memory correctly poisoned, calling BUG Signed-off-by: Laura Abbott <labbott@fedoraproject.org> Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>
