Linux kernel source tree
3d053e8060
Merge the new hardening feature to make heap spraying harder, by GONG, Ruiqi. It creates multiple (16) copies of kmalloc caches, reducing the chance of an attacker-controllable allocation site to land in the same slab as e.g. an allocation site with use-after-free vulnerability. The selection of the copy is derived from the allocation site address, including a per-boot random seed. In line with SLAB deprecation, this is a SLUB only feature, incompatible with SLUB_TINY due to the memory overhead of the extra cache copies. |

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.
