In a similar manner to WRITE_AFTER_FREE, add a READ_AFTER_FREE
test to test free poisoning features. Sample output when
no poison is present:

[   20.226163] lkdtm: Freed val: 12345678

For both of these test failure return, I think there should be a
pr_warn too (see CT_EXEC_USERSPACE).


I was going by the usual rule that messages on memory failures are
redundant because something somewhere else is going to be printing
out error messages.

+                */
+               base[1] = val;

Maybe just aim at the middle, in case allocator freelist tracking ever
grows? base[1024/sizeof(int)/2] or something?


Good point.

+               kfree(base);
+
+               tmp = base[1];
+               pr_info("Freed val: %x\n", *tmp);

Instead of depending on the deref to fail, maybe just use a simple
BUG_ON to test that the value did actually change? Or, change the
pr_info to "Failed to Oops when reading freed value: ..." just to be
slightly more verbose about what failed?


I'll come up with something to be more explicit here.


Thanks,
Laura
