Minimal supplement to upstream Kernel Self Protection Project changes. Features already provided by SELinux + Yama and archs other than multiarch arm64 / x86_64 aren't in scope. Only tags have stable history. Shared IRC channel with KSPP: irc.libera.chat #linux-hardening

Thomas Hellstrom fc18afcf5f drm/vmwgfx: Use a validation context allocator for relocations and validations
A common trait of these objects are that they are allocated during the
command validation phase and freed after command submission. Furthermore
they are accessed by a single thread only. So provide a simple unprotected
stack-like allocator from which these objects can be allocated. Their
memory is freed with the validation context when the command submission
is done.

Note that the mm subsystem maintains a per-cpu cache of single pages to
make single page allocation and freeing efficient.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
