UPSTREAM: list: Split list_add() debug checking into separate function
(cherry-picked from d7c816733d501b59dbdc2483f2cc8e4431fd9160) Right now, __list_add() code is repeated either in list.h or in list_debug.c, but the only differences between the two versions are the debug checks. This commit therefore extracts these debug checks into a separate __list_add_valid() function and consolidates __list_add(). Additionally this new __list_add_valid() function will stop list manipulations if a corruption is detected, instead of allowing for further corruption that may lead to even worse conditions. This is slight refactoring of the same hardening done in PaX and Grsecurity. Change-Id: I654bc0aef2ca7a8ce57d1ed1683138c44a414a15 Signed-off-by:Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Acked-by:
