Malloc Never Fails (2012)

If you're suggesting Linux did not intend its malloc implement the corresponding function in the C standard then you're just lying to yourself. That's exactly why it's there and that's exactly what it's used for.

Linux (the kernel) doesn't have malloc. It's part of the C library, which is a completely separate project. What Linux implements is brk and mmap.

Playing loose with the word Linux here. Play along a bit maybe?
