Freelist corruption results in the "slabinfo" module crashing. Since this is a common symptom of use-after-free bugs, we'd rather give useful information about this case. So don't crash the module. Catch the error and report corruption issues at the end. This also helps in certain cases where we are running against a live kernel, and the freelist is not corrupt, but it changed by the time we decoded the pointer. As a result, we print different messages at different times: for live systems, we say this may be transient, but for core dumps, we say it indicates a potential use-after-free bug. To do this, we have to implement a rather sketchy workaround to use the _SlabCacheHelperSlub from drgn. This is manually verified to work on 0.0.25 through 0.0.27, which are the only supported drgn versions. But, we need to work on upstream tweaks to improve the slab helpers, so we don't need to rely on the hack. Signed-off-by: Stephen Brennan <[email protected]>

Here is the main branch, so it is still 1.0.0? You will create a new branch for v1 and set version to 1.1.0 there and also change the version here to 2.0.0, right?

No, I totally missed that. This should go to 1.1.0, I'll create the stable/v1 branch, and then on the main branch I'll bump to 2.0.0.

should this be 1.1.0 instead of 1.1.0-1?

No, most RPMs have a release version appended with the hyphen, it starts at 1. If we update the packaging alone, we'll update that number.

It comes from line 5 above.

The slabinfo fix was more involved than I wanted, but it works well, is compatible with drgn 0.0.25 - 0.0.27, and it actually makes the
slabinfomodule modestly faster.
