Subject[RFC PATCH v13 0/6] mm: security: ro protection for dynamic data
Date
This patch-set introduces the possibility of protecting memory that has
been allocated dynamically.

The memory is managed in pools: when a memory pool is turned into R/O,
all the memory that is part of it, will become R/O.

A R/O pool can be destroyed, to recover its memory, but it cannot be
turned back into R/W mode.

This is intentional. This feature is meant for data that doesn't need
further modifications after initialization.

However the data might need to be released, for example as part of module
unloading.
To do this, the memory must first be freed, then the pool can be destroyed.

An example is provided, in the form of self-testing.

Changes since v12
[https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/1/30/397]

- fixed Kconfig dependency for pmalloc-test
- fixed warning for size_t treated as %ul on i386
- moved to SPDX license reference
- rewrote pmalloc docs

Igor Stoppa (6):
genalloc: track beginning of allocations
genalloc: selftest
struct page: add field for vm_struct
Protectable Memory
Pmalloc: self-test
