2023-09-06LoongArch: Add KASAN (Kernel Address Sanitizer) supportQing Zhang
1/8 of kernel addresses reserved for shadow memory. But for LoongArch, There are a lot of holes between different segments and valid address space (256T available) is insufficient to map all these segments to kasan shadow memory with the common formula provided by kasan core, saying (addr >> KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SHIFT) + KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET So LoongArch has a arch-specific mapping formula, different segments are mapped individually, and only limited space lengths of these specific segments are mapped to shadow. At early boot stage the whole shadow region populated with just one physical page (kasan_early_shadow_page). Later, this page is reused as readonly zero shadow for some memory that kasan currently don't track. After mapping the physical memory, pages for shadow memory are allocated and mapped. Functions like memset()/memcpy()/memmove() do a lot of memory accesses. If bad pointer passed to one of these function it is important to be caught. Compiler's instrumentation cannot do this since these functions are written in assembly. KASan replaces memory functions with manually instrumented variants. Original functions declared as weak symbols so strong definitions in mm/kasan/kasan.c could replace them. Original functions have aliases with '__' prefix in names, so we could call non-instrumented variant if needed.

2023-06-19kasan: add support for kasan.fault=panic_on_writeMarco Elver
KASAN's boot time kernel parameter 'kasan.fault=' currently supports 'report' and 'panic', which results in either only reporting bugs or also panicking on reports. However, some users may wish to have more control over when KASAN reports result in a kernel panic: in particular, KASAN reported invalid _writes_ are of special interest, because they have greater potential to corrupt random kernel memory or be more easily exploited. To panic on invalid writes only, introduce 'kasan.fault=panic_on_write', which allows users to choose to continue running on invalid reads, but panic only on invalid writes.

2023-01-18kasan: allow sampling page_alloc allocations for HW_TAGSAndrey Konovalov
As Hardware Tag-Based KASAN is intended to be used in production, its performance impact is crucial. As page_alloc allocations tend to be big, tagging and checking all such allocations can introduce a significant slowdown. Add two new boot parameters that allow to alleviate that slowdown: - kasan.page_alloc.sample, which makes Hardware Tag-Based KASAN tag only every Nth page_alloc allocation with the order configured by the second added parameter (default: tag every such allocation). - kasan.page_alloc.sample.order, which makes sampling enabled by the first parameter only affect page_alloc allocations with the order equal or greater than the specified value (default: 3, see below). The exact performance improvement caused by using the new parameters depends on their values and the applied workload. The chosen default value for kasan.page_alloc.sample.order is 3, which matches both PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER and SKB_FRAG_PAGE_ORDER. This is done for two reasons: 1. PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER is "the order at which allocations are deemed costly to service", which corresponds to the idea that only large and thus costly allocations are supposed to sampled. 2. One of the workloads targeted by this patch is a benchmark that sends a large amount of data over a local loopback connection. Most multi-page data allocations in the networking subsystem have the order of SKB_FRAG_PAGE_ORDER (or PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER). When running a local loopback test on a testing MTE-enabled device in sync mode, enabling Hardware Tag-Based KASAN introduces a ~50% slowdown. Applying this patch and setting kasan.page_alloc.sampling to a value higher than 1 allows to lower the slowdown. The performance improvement saturates around the sampling interval value of 10 with the default sampling page order of 3. This lowers the slowdown to ~20%. The slowdown in real scenarios involving the network will likely be better. Enabling page_alloc sampling has a downside: KASAN misses bad accesses to a page_alloc allocation that has not been tagged. This lowers the value of KASAN as a security mitigation. However, based on measuring the number of page_alloc allocations of different orders during boot in a test build, sampling with the default kasan.page_alloc.sample.order value affects only ~7% of allocations. The rest ~93% of allocations are still checked deterministically.

2022-10-03kasan: dynamically allocate stack ring entriesAndrey Konovalov
Instead of using a large static array, allocate the stack ring dynamically via memblock_alloc(). The size of the stack ring is controlled by a new kasan.stack_ring_size command-line parameter. When kasan.stack_ring_size is not provided, the default value of 32 << 10 is used. When the stack trace collection is disabled via kasan.stacktrace=off, the stack ring is not allocated.

2021-10-07kasan: Extend KASAN mode kernel parameterVincenzo Frascino
Architectures supported by KASAN_HW_TAGS can provide an asymmetric mode of execution. On an MTE enabled arm64 hw for example this can be identified with the asymmetric tagging mode of execution. In particular, when such a mode is present, the CPU triggers a fault on a tag mismatch during a load operation and asynchronously updates a register when a tag mismatch is detected during a store operation. Extend the KASAN HW execution mode kernel command line parameter to support asymmetric mode.

2021-06-29kasan: test: improve failure message in KUNIT_EXPECT_KASAN_FAIL()David Gow
The KUNIT_EXPECT_KASAN_FAIL() macro currently uses KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ() to compare fail_data.report_expected and fail_data.report_found. This always gave a somewhat useless error message on failure, but the addition of extra compile-time checking with READ_ONCE() has caused it to get much longer, and be truncated before anything useful is displayed. Instead, just check fail_data.report_found by hand (we've just set report_expected to 'true'), and print a better failure message with KUNIT_FAIL(). Because of this, report_expected is no longer used anywhere, and can be removed. Beforehand, a failure in: KUNIT_EXPECT_KASAN_FAIL(test, ((volatile char *)area)[3100]); would have looked like: [22:00:34] [FAILED] vmalloc_oob [22:00:34] # vmalloc_oob: EXPECTATION FAILED at lib/test_kasan.c:991 [22:00:34] Expected ({ do { extern void __compiletime_assert_705(void) __attribute__((__error__("Unsupported access size for {READ,WRITE}_ONCE()."))); if (!((sizeof(fail_data.report_expected) == sizeof(char) || sizeof(fail_data.repp [22:00:34] not ok 45 - vmalloc_oob With this change, it instead looks like: [22:04:04] [FAILED] vmalloc_oob [22:04:04] # vmalloc_oob: EXPECTATION FAILED at lib/test_kasan.c:993 [22:04:04] KASAN failure expected in "((volatile char *)area)[3100]", but none occurred [22:04:04] not ok 45 - vmalloc_oob Also update the example failure in the documentation to reflect this.

On an MTE enabled arm64 hw for example this can be identified with the synchronous or asynchronous tagging mode of execution. In synchronous mode, an exception is triggered if a tag check fault occurs. In asynchronous mode, if a tag check fault occurs, the TFSR_EL1 register is updated asynchronously. The kernel checks the corresponding bits periodically. KASAN requires a specific kernel command line parameter to make use of this hw features. Add KASAN HW execution mode kernel command line parameter. Note: This patch adds the kasan.mode kernel parameter and the sync/async kernel command line options to enable the described features. [ Add a new var instead of exposing kasan_arg_mode to be consistent with flags for other command line arguments. ] Cc: Dmitry Vyukov <dvyukov@google.com> Cc: Andrey Ryabinin <aryabinin@virtuozzo.com> Cc: Alexander Potapenko <glider@google.com> Cc: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl@google.com> Reviewed-by: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl@google.com> Acked-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Acked-by: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl@google.com> Tested-by: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl@google.com> Signed-off-by: Vincenzo Frascino <vincenzo.frascino@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl@google.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210315132019.33202-3-vincenzo.frascino@arm.com Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>

2021-02-09kasan: fix stack traces dependency for HW_TAGSAndrey Konovalov
Currently, whether the alloc/free stack traces collection is enabled by default for hardware tag-based KASAN depends on CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL. The intention for this dependency was to only enable collection on slow debug kernels due to a significant perf and memory impact. As it turns out, CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL is not considered a debug option and is enabled on many productions kernels including Android and Ubuntu. As the result, this dependency is pointless and only complicates the code and documentation. Having stack traces collection disabled by default would make the hardware mode work differently to to the software ones, which is confusing. This change removes the dependency and enables stack traces collection by default. Looking into the future, this default might makes sense for production kernels, assuming we implement a fast stack trace collection approach.

The initially proposed KASAN command line parameters are redundant. This change drops the complex "kasan.mode=off/prod/full" parameter and adds a simpler kill switch "kasan=off/on" instead. The new parameter together with the already existing ones provides a cleaner way to express the same set of features.

This is a preparatory commit for the upcoming addition of a new hardware tag-based (MTE-based) KASAN mode. The new mode won't be using shadow memory, but will still use the concept of memory granules. Each memory granule maps to a single metadata entry: 8 bytes per one shadow byte for generic mode, 16 bytes per one shadow byte for software tag-based mode, and 16 bytes per one allocation tag for hardware tag-based mode. Rename KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SIZE to KASAN_GRANULE_SIZE, and KASAN_SHADOW_MASK to KASAN_GRANULE_MASK. Also use MASK when used as a mask, otherwise use SIZE. No functional changes.

2019-12-01kasan: support backing vmalloc space with real shadow memoryDaniel Axtens
Patch series "kasan: support backing vmalloc space with real shadow memory", v11. Currently, vmalloc space is backed by the early shadow page. This means that kasan is incompatible with VMAP_STACK. This series provides a mechanism to back vmalloc space with real, dynamically allocated memory. I have only wired up x86, because that's the only currently supported arch I can work with easily, but it's very easy to wire up other architectures, and it appears that there is some work-in-progress code to do this on arm64 and s390. This has been discussed before in the context of VMAP_STACK: - https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=202009 - https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/7/22/198 - https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/7/19/822 In terms of implementation details: Most mappings in vmalloc space are small, requiring less than a full page of shadow space. Allocating a full shadow page per mapping would therefore be wasteful. Furthermore, to ensure that different mappings use different shadow pages, mappings would have to be aligned to KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SIZE * PAGE_SIZE. Instead, share backing space across multiple mappings. Allocate a backing page when a mapping in vmalloc space uses a particular page of the shadow region. This page can be shared by other vmalloc mappings later on. We hook in to the vmap infrastructure to lazily clean up unused shadow memory. Testing with test_vmalloc.sh on an x86 VM with 2 vCPUs shows that: - Turning on KASAN, inline instrumentation, without vmalloc, introuduces a 4.1x-4.2x slowdown in vmalloc operations. - Turning this on introduces the following slowdowns over KASAN: * ~1.76x slower single-threaded (test_vmalloc.sh performance) * ~2.18x slower when both cpus are performing operations simultaneously (test_vmalloc.sh sequential_test_order=1) This is unfortunate but given that this is a debug feature only, not the end of the world. The benchmarks are also a stress-test for the vmalloc subsystem: they're not indicative of an overall 2x slowdown! This patch (of 4): Hook into vmalloc and vmap, and dynamically allocate real shadow memory to back the mappings. Most mappings in vmalloc space are small, requiring less than a full page of shadow space. Allocating a full shadow page per mapping would therefore be wasteful. Furthermore, to ensure that different mappings use different shadow pages, mappings would have to be aligned to KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SIZE * PAGE_SIZE. Instead, share backing space across multiple mappings. Allocate a backing page when a mapping in vmalloc space uses a particular page of the shadow region. This page can be shared by other vmalloc mappings later on. We hook in to the vmap infrastructure to lazily clean up unused shadow memory. To avoid the difficulties around swapping mappings around, this code expects that the part of the shadow region that covers the vmalloc space will not be covered by the early shadow page, but will be left unmapped. This will require changes in arch-specific code. This allows KASAN with VMAP_STACK, and may be helpful for architectures that do not have a separate module space (e.g. powerpc64, which I am currently working on). It also allows relaxing the module alignment back to PAGE_SIZE. Testing with test_vmalloc.sh on an x86 VM with 2 vCPUs shows that: - Turning on KASAN, inline instrumentation, without vmalloc, introuduces a 4.1x-4.2x slowdown in vmalloc operations. - Turning this on introduces the following slowdowns over KASAN: * ~1.76x slower single-threaded (test_vmalloc.sh performance) * ~2.18x slower when both cpus are performing operations simultaneously (test_vmalloc.sh sequential_test_order=3D1) This is unfortunate but given that this is a debug feature only, not the end of the world.

2019-10-14mm, page_owner: decouple freeing stack trace from debug_pageallocVlastimil Babka
Commit 8974558f49a6 ("mm, page_owner, debug_pagealloc: save and dump freeing stack trace") enhanced page_owner to also store freeing stack trace, when debug_pagealloc is also enabled. KASAN would also like to do this [1] to improve error reports to debug e.g. UAF issues. Kirill has suggested that the freeing stack trace saving should be also possible to be enabled separately from KASAN or debug_pagealloc, i.e. with an extra boot option. Qian argued that we have enough options already, and avoiding the extra overhead is not worth the complications in the case of a debugging option. Kirill noted that the extra stack handle in struct page_owner requires 0.1% of memory. This patch therefore enables free stack saving whenever page_owner is enabled, regardless of whether debug_pagealloc or KASAN is also enabled. KASAN kernels booted with page_owner=on will thus benefit from the improved error reports.
