lkdtm: Add read/write after free tests for buddy memory
The current tests for read/write after free work on slab allocated memory. Memory straight from the buddy allocator may behave slightly differently and have a different set of parameters to test. Add tests for those cases as well. On a basic x86 boot: # echo WRITE_BUDDY_AFTER_FREE > /sys/kernel/debug/provoke-crash/DIRECT [ 22.291950] lkdtm: Performing direct entry WRITE_BUDDY_AFTER_FREE [ 22.292983] lkdtm: Writing to the buddy page before free [ 22.293950] lkdtm: Attempting bad write to the buddy page after free # echo READ_BUDDY_AFTER_FREE > /sys/kernel/debug/provoke-crash/DIRECT [ 32.375601] lkdtm: Performing direct entry READ_BUDDY_AFTER_FREE [ 32.379896] lkdtm: Value in memory before free: 12345678 [ 32.383854] lkdtm: Attempting to read from freed memory [ 32.389309] lkdtm: Buddy page was not poisoned On x86 with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC and debug_pagealloc=on: # echo WRITE_BUDDY_AFTER_FREE > /sys/kernel/debug/provoke-crash/DIRECT [ 17.475533] lkdtm: Performing direct entry WRITE_BUDDY_AFTER_FREE [ 17.477360] lkdtm: Writing to the buddy page before free [ 17.479089] lkdtm: Attempting bad write to the buddy page after free [ 17.480904] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff88000ebd8000 # echo READ_BUDDY_AFTER_FREE > /sys/kernel/debug/provoke-crash/DIRECT [ 14.606433] lkdtm: Performing direct entry READ_BUDDY_AFTER_FREE [ 14.607447] lkdtm: Value in memory before free: 12345678 [ 14.608161] lkdtm: Attempting to read from freed memory [ 14.608860] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff88000eba3000 Note that arches without ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC may not produce the same crash.
