    randstruct: Mark various structs for randomization · 3859a271
    Kees Cook authored
    This marks many critical kernel structures for randomization. These are
    structures that have been targeted in the past in security exploits, or
    contain functions pointers, pointers to function pointer tables, lists,
    workqueues, ref-counters, credentials, permissions, or are otherwise
    sensitive. This initial list was extracted from Brad Spengler/PaX Team's
    code in the last public patch of grsecurity/PaX based on my understanding
    of the code. Changes or omissions from the original code are mine and
    don't reflect the original grsecurity/PaX code.
    
    Left out of this list is task_struct, which requires special handling
    and will be covered in a subsequent patch.
