Linux kernel modifications for the Kernel Hacking exam
2dfe63e61c
Calling kmem_obj_info() via kmem_dump_obj() on KFENCE objects has been producing garbage data due to the object not actually being maintained by SLAB or SLUB. Fix this by implementing __kfence_obj_info() that copies relevant information to struct kmem_obj_info when the object was allocated by KFENCE; this is called by a common kmem_obj_info(), which also calls the slab/slub/slob specific variant now called __kmem_obj_info(). For completeness, kmem_dump_obj() now displays if the object was allocated by KFENCE.

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.
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.
