Andreas Kling 79ebcacce2 Kernel: Add some basic double-kfree() detection
Double kfree() is exceedingly rare in our kernel since we use automatic
memory management and smart pointers for almost all code. However, it
doesn't hurt to do some basic checking that might one day catch bugs.

This patch makes us VERIFY that we don't already consider the first
chunk of a kmalloc() allocation free when kfree()'ing it.

SerenityOS

Graphical Unix-like operating system for x86 computers.

Build status Fuzzing Status

About

SerenityOS is a love letter to '90s user interfaces with a custom Unix-like core. It flatters with sincerity by stealing beautiful ideas from various other systems.

Roughly speaking, the goal is a marriage between the aesthetic of late-1990s productivity software and the power-user accessibility of late-2000s *nix. This is a system by us, for us, based on the things we like.

I (Andreas) regularly post raw hacking sessions and demos on my YouTube channel.

Sometimes I write about the system on my github.io blog.

I'm also on Patreon and GitHub Sponsors if you would like to show some support that way.
