Alexander Potapenko b89fb5ef0c mm, kfence: insert KFENCE hooks for SLUB
Inserts KFENCE hooks into the SLUB allocator.

To pass the originally requested size to KFENCE, add an argument
'orig_size' to slab_alloc*(). The additional argument is required to
preserve the requested original size for kmalloc() allocations, which
uses size classes (e.g. an allocation of 272 bytes will return an object
of size 512). Therefore, kmem_cache::size does not represent the
kmalloc-caller's requested size, and we must introduce the argument
'orig_size' to propagate the originally requested size to KFENCE.

Without the originally requested size, we would not be able to detect
out-of-bounds accesses for objects placed at the end of a KFENCE object
page if that object is not equal to the kmalloc-size class it was
bucketed into.

When KFENCE is disabled, there is no additional overhead, since
slab_alloc*() functions are __always_inline.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
