From aa9f10d57056cea51d41283d3785bccbbb9f459e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marco Elver Date: Fri, 11 Aug 2023 17:18:41 +0200 Subject: hardening: Move BUG_ON_DATA_CORRUPTION to hardening options BUG_ON_DATA_CORRUPTION is turning detected corruptions of list data structures from WARNings into BUGs. This can be useful to stop further corruptions or even exploitation attempts. However, the option has less to do with debugging than with hardening. With the introduction of LIST_HARDENED, it makes more sense to move it to the hardening options, where it selects LIST_HARDENED instead. Without this change, combining BUG_ON_DATA_CORRUPTION with LIST_HARDENED alone wouldn't be possible, because DEBUG_LIST would always be selected by BUG_ON_DATA_CORRUPTION.
