This adds the Kernel Electric-Fence (KFENCE) infrastructure. KFENCE is a low-overhead sampling-based memory safety error detector of heap use-after-free, invalid-free, and out-of-bounds access errors. This series enables KFENCE for the x86 and arm64 architectures, and adds KFENCE hooks to the SLAB and SLUB allocators.
I think this is getting close to a good state, just a couple minor issues left. Now that the magic "embed the memory pool in the BSS section" stuff is gone, this series looks fairly straightforward.
