From d7c816733d501b59dbdc2483f2cc8e4431fd9160 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kees Cook Date: Wed, 17 Aug 2016 14:42:08 -0700 Subject: list: Split list_add() debug checking into separate function Right now, __list_add() code is repeated either in list.h or in list_debug.c, but the only differences between the two versions are the debug checks. This commit therefore extracts these debug checks into a separate __list_add_valid() function and consolidates __list_add(). Additionally this new __list_add_valid() function will stop list manipulations if a corruption is detected, instead of allowing for further corruption that may lead to even worse conditions. This is slight refactoring of the same hardening done in PaX and Grsecurity. Signed-off-by: Kees Cook Acked-by: Steven Rostedt Signed-off-by: Paul E.
