From: Mel Gorman Date: Thu, 23 Jan 2025 22:11:13 +0000 (+0000) Subject: mm: security: Allow default HARDENED_USERCOPY to be set at compile time X-Git-Url: https://www.infradead.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d2132f453e3308adc82ab7c101bd5220a9a34167;p=users%2Fjedix%2Flinux-maple.git mm: security: Allow default HARDENED_USERCOPY to be set at compile time HARDENED_USERCOPY defaults to on if enabled at compile time. Allow hardened_usercopy= default to be set at compile time similar to init_on_alloc= and init_on_free=. The intent is that hardening options that can be disabled at runtime can set their default at build time.
