mm/slub: extend redzone check to extra allocated kmalloc space than r…
…equested kmalloc will round up the request size to a fixed size (mostly power of 2), so there could be a extra space than what is requested, whose size is the actual buffer size minus original request size. To better detect out of bound access or abuse of this space, add redzone sanity check for it. In current kernel, some kmalloc user already knows the existence of the space and utilizes it after calling 'ksize()' to know the real size of the allocated buffer. So we skip the sanity check for objects which have been called with ksize(), as treating them as legitimate users. Kees Cook is working on sanitizing all these user cases, by using kmalloc_size_roundup() to avoid ambiguous usages. And after this is done, this special handling for ksize() can be removed. In some cases, the free pointer could be saved inside the latter part of object data area, which may overlap the redzone part(for small sizes of kmalloc objects). As suggested by Hyeonggon Yoo, force the free pointer to be in meta data area when kmalloc redzone debug is enabled, to make all kmalloc objects covered by redzone check.
