Merge branch 'slab/for-6.6/random_kmalloc' into slab/for-next
Merge the new hardening feature to make heap spraying harder, by GONG, Ruiqi. It creates multiple (16) copies of kmalloc caches, reducing the chance of an attacker-controllable allocation site to land in the same slab as e.g. an allocation site with use-after-free vulnerability. The selection of the copy is derived from the allocation site address, including a per-boot random seed. In line with SLAB deprecation, this is a SLUB only feature, incompatible with SLUB_TINY due to the memory overhead of the extra cache copies.
