    [scudo] Modify Scudo to use its own Secondary Allocator · 3beafffc
    Kostya Kortchinsky authored
    Summary:
    The Sanitizer Secondary Allocator was not entirely ideal was Scudo for several
    reasons: decent amount of unneeded code, redundant checks already performed by
    the front end, unneeded data structures, difficulty to properly protect the
    secondary chunks header.
    
    Given that the second allocator is pretty straight forward, Scudo will use its
    own, trimming all the unneeded code off of the Sanitizer one. A significant
    difference in terms of security is that now each secondary chunk is preceded
    and followed by a guard page, thus mitigating overflows into and from the
    chunk.
    
    A test was added as well to illustrate the overflow & underflow situations
    into the guard pages.
