Subject: [PATCH v2 14/18] mm/ksw: add stack overflow test
Date: Thu, 4 Sep 2025 08:21:11 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250904002126.1514566-15-wangjinchao600@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250904002126.1514566-1-wangjinchao600@gmail.com>
Extend the test module with a new test case (test1) that intentionally
overflows a local u64 buffer to corrupt the stack canary. This helps
validate KStackWatch's detection of stack corruption under overflow
conditions.
The proc interface is updated to document the new test:
- test1: stack canary overflow test
