The patch titled Subject: slab: add __alloc_size attributes for better bounds checking has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is slab-add-__alloc_size-attributes-for-better-bounds-checking.patch This patch should soon appear at https://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/slab-add-__alloc_size-attributes-for-better-bounds-checking.patch and later at https://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/slab-add-__alloc_size-attributes-for-better-bounds-checking.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: slab: add __alloc_size attributes for better bounds checking As already done in GrapheneOS, add the __alloc_size attribute for regular kmalloc interfaces, to provide additional hinting for better bounds checking, assisting CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE and other compiler optimizations.
