Kunit will create a new thread to run an actual test case, and the
main process will wait for the completion of the actual test thread
until overtime. The variable "struct kunit test" has local property
in function kunit_try_catch_run, and will be used in the test case
thread. Task kunit_try_catch_run will free "struct kunit test" when
kunit runs overtime, but the actual test case is still run and an
UAF bug will be triggered.
The above problem has been both observed in a physical machine and
qemu platform when running kfence kunit tests. The problem can be
triggered when setting CONFIG_KFENCE_DYNAMIC_OBJECTS = 65535. Under
this setting, the test case test_gfpzero will cost hours and kunit
will run to overtime. The follows show the panic log.
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffffff82d882e9
Call Trace:
kunit_log_append+0x58/0xd0

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception
Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS
Ubuntu-1.8.2-1ubuntu1 04/01/2014
To solve this problem, the test case thread should be stopped when
the kunit frame runs overtime. The stop signal will send in function
kunit_try_catch_run, and test_gfpzero will handle it.
