Yeah, there is an entire section of tests in lkdtm for the usercopy protection. I didn't add anything for CMA or multipage allocations yet, though. Feel free to add those if you have a moment! :) It's on my todo list. -Kees -- Kees Cook Chrome OS & Brillo Security -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ia64" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
