[PATCH v3 5/5] lkdtm: Add tests for struct list corruption

Kees Cook
2016-08-17T21:42:28Z

When building under CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST, list addition and removal will be
sanity-checked. This validates that the check is working as expected by
setting up classic corruption attacks against list manipulations, available
with the new lkdtm tests CORRUPT_LIST_ADD and CORRUPT_LIST_DEL.
