In later patch SLAB will also pass requests larger than order-1 page
to page allocator. Move kmalloc_large_node() to slab_common.c.
Fold kmalloc_large_node_hook() into kmalloc_large_node() as there is
no other caller.

There is no caller of kmalloc_order_trace() except kmalloc_large().
Fold it into kmalloc_large() and remove kmalloc_order{,_trace}().
Also add tracepoint in kmalloc_large() that was previously
in kmalloc_order_trace().

When CONFIG_KASAN_HW_TAGS is enabled we currently increase the minimum
slab alignment to 16. This happens even if MTE is not supported in
hardware or disabled via kasan=off, which creates an unnecessary memory
overhead in those cases. Eliminate this overhead by making the minimum
slab alignment a runtime property and only aligning to 16 if KASAN is
enabled at runtime.
On a DragonBoard 845c (non-MTE hardware) with a kernel built with
CONFIG_KASAN_HW_TAGS, waiting for quiescence after a full Android boot I
see the following Slab measurements in /proc/meminfo (median of 3
reboots):
Before: 169020 kB
After: 167304 kB

The comment next to the __assume_kmalloc_alignment definition is not
precise: kmalloc relies on kmem_cache_alloc, so kmalloc technically returns
pointers aligned to both ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN and ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN,
not only to ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN.
(See create_kmalloc_cache()->create_boot_cache()->calculate_alignment()
for SLAB and SLUB and __do_kmalloc_node() for SLOB.)
Clarify the comment.
The assumption specified by __assume_kmalloc_alignment is still correct,
although it can be made stronger. I'll leave this to a separate patch.

slub_kunit does not expect other debugging flags to be set when running
tests. When SLAB_RED_ZONE flag is set globally, test fails because the
flag affects number of errors reported.
To make slub_kunit unaffected by user specified debugging flags,
introduce SLAB_NO_USER_FLAGS to ignore them. With this flag, only flags
specified in the code are used and others are ignored.

We currently allocate scope for every memcg to be able to tracked on
every superblock instantiated in the system, regardless of whether that
superblock is even accessible to that memcg.
These huge memcg counts come from container hosts where memcgs are
confined to just a small subset of the total number of superblocks that
instantiated at any given point in time.
For these systems with huge container counts, list_lru does not need the
capability of tracking every memcg on every superblock. What it comes
down to is that adding the memcg to the list_lru at the first insert.
So introduce kmem_cache_alloc_lru to allocate objects and its list_lru.
In the later patch, we will convert all inode and dentry allocation from
kmem_cache_alloc to kmem_cache_alloc_lru.

Commit c37495d6254c ("slab: add __alloc_size attributes for better
bounds checking") added __alloc_size attributes to a bunch of kmalloc
function prototypes. Unfortunately the change to __kmalloc_track_caller
seems to cause clang to generate broken code and the first time this is
called when booting, the box will crash.
While the compiler problems are being reworked and attempted to be
solved [1], let's just drop the attribute to solve the issue now. Once
it is resolved it can be added back.

converting to a slab instead of a page. Take the opportunity to mark
the slab as const since we're not modifying it. Also move the
declaration of __check_heap_object() to mm/slab.h so it's not available
to the wider kernel.

This has served its purpose and is no longer used. All usercopy
violations appear to have been handled by now, any remaining instances
(or new bugs) will cause copies to be rejected.
This isn't a direct revert of commit 2d891fbc3bb6 ("usercopy: Allow
strict enforcement of whitelists"); since usercopy_fallback is
effectively 0, the fallback handling is removed too.
This also removes the usercopy_fallback module parameter on slab_common.

There are currently two problems in the way the objcg pointer array
(memcg_data) in the page structure is being allocated and freed.
On its allocation, it is possible that the allocated objcg pointer
array comes from the same slab that requires memory accounting. If this
happens, the slab will never become empty again as there is at least
one object left (the obj_cgroup array) in the slab.
When it is freed, the objcg pointer array object may be the last one
in its slab and hence causes kfree() to be called again. With the
right workload, the slab cache may be set up in a way that allows the
recursive kfree() calling loop to nest deep enough to cause a kernel
stack overflow and panic the system.
One way to solve this problem is to split the kmalloc-<n> caches
(KMALLOC_NORMAL) into two separate sets - a new set of kmalloc-<n>
(KMALLOC_NORMAL) caches for unaccounted objects only and a new set of
kmalloc-cg-<n> (KMALLOC_CGROUP) caches for accounted objects only. All
the other caches can still allow a mix of accounted and unaccounted
objects.
With this change, all the objcg pointer array objects will come from
KMALLOC_NORMAL caches which won't have their objcg pointer arrays. So
both the recursive kfree() problem and non-freeable slab problem are
gone.
Since both the KMALLOC_NORMAL and KMALLOC_CGROUP caches no longer have
mixed accounted and unaccounted objects, this will slightly reduce the
number of objcg pointer arrays that need to be allocated and save a bit
of memory. On the other hand, creating a new set of kmalloc caches does
have the effect of reducing cache utilization. So it is properly a wash.
The new KMALLOC_CGROUP is added between KMALLOC_NORMAL and
KMALLOC_RECLAIM so that the first for loop in create_kmalloc_caches()
will include the newly added caches without change.

Currently when size is not supported by kmalloc_index, compiler will
generate a run-time BUG() while compile-time error is also possible, and
better. So change BUG to BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG to make compile-time check
possible.
Also remove code that allocates more than 32MB because current
implementation supports only up to 32MB.

The mem_dump_obj() functionality adds a few hundred bytes, which is a
small price to pay. Except on kernels built with CONFIG_PRINTK=n, in
which mem_dump_obj() messages will be suppressed. This commit therefore
makes mem_dump_obj() be a static inline empty function on kernels built
with CONFIG_PRINTK=n and excludes all of its support functions as well.
This avoids kernel bloat on systems that cannot use mem_dump_obj().

There are kernel facilities such as per-CPU reference counts that give
error messages in generic handlers or callbacks, whose messages are
unenlightening. In the case of per-CPU reference-count underflow, this
is not a problem when creating a new use of this facility because in that
case the bug is almost certainly in the code implementing that new use.
However, trouble arises when deploying across many systems, which might
exercise corner cases that were not seen during development and testing.
Here, it would be really nice to get some kind of hint as to which of
several uses the underflow was caused by.
This commit therefore exposes a mem_dump_obj() function that takes
a pointer to memory (which must still be allocated if it has been
dynamically allocated) and prints available information on where that
memory came from. This pointer can reference the middle of the block as
well as the beginning of the block, as needed by things like RCU callback
functions and timer handlers that might not know where the beginning of
the memory block is. These functions and handlers can use mem_dump_obj()
to print out better hints as to where the problem might lie.
The information printed can depend on kernel configuration. For example,
the allocation return address can be printed only for slab and slub,
and even then only when the necessary debug has been enabled. For slab,
build with CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB=y, and either use sizes with ample space
to the next power of two or use the SLAB_STORE_USER when creating the
kmem_cache structure. For slub, build with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG=y and
boot with slub_debug=U, or pass SLAB_STORE_USER to kmem_cache_create()
if more focused use is desired. Also for slub, use CONFIG_STACKTRACE
to enable printing of the allocation-time stack trace.

When allocating an array of elements, users should check for
multiplication overflow or preferably use one of the provided helpers
like: kmalloc_array().
There's no krealloc_array() counterpart but there are many users who use
regular krealloc() to reallocate arrays. Let's provide an actual
krealloc_array() implementation.
While at it: add some documentation regarding krealloc.

Instead of having two sets of kmem_caches: one for system-wide and
non-accounted allocations and the second one shared by all accounted
allocations, we can use just one.
The idea is simple: space for obj_cgroup metadata can be allocated on
demand and filled only for accounted allocations.
It allows to remove a bunch of code which is required to handle kmem_cache
clones for accounted allocations. There is no more need to create them,
accumulate statistics, propagate attributes, etc. It's a quite
significant simplification.
Also, because the total number of slab_caches is reduced almost twice (not
all kmem_caches have a memcg clone), some additional memory savings are
expected. On my devvm it additionally saves about 3.5% of slab memory.

This is fairly big but mostly red patch, which makes all accounted slab
allocations use a single set of kmem_caches instead of creating a separate
set for each memory cgroup.
Because the number of non-root kmem_caches is now capped by the number of
root kmem_caches, there is no need to shrink or destroy them prematurely.
They can be perfectly destroyed together with their root counterparts.
This allows to dramatically simplify the management of non-root
kmem_caches and delete a ton of code.
This patch performs the following changes:
1) introduces memcg_params.memcg_cache pointer to represent the
kmem_cache which will be used for all non-root allocations
2) reuses the existing memcg kmem_cache creation mechanism
to create memcg kmem_cache on the first allocation attempt
3) memcg kmem_caches are named <kmemcache_name>-memcg,
e.g. dentry-memcg
4) simplifies memcg_kmem_get_cache() to just return memcg kmem_cache
or schedule it's creation and return the root cache
5) removes almost all non-root kmem_cache management code
(separate refcounter, reparenting, shrinking, etc)
6) makes slab debugfs to display root_mem_cgroup css id and never
show :dead and :deact flags in the memcg_slabinfo attribute.
Following patches in the series will simplify the kmem_cache creation.

As said by Linus:
A symmetric naming is only helpful if it implies symmetries in use.
Otherwise it's actively misleading.
In "kzalloc()", the z is meaningful and an important part of what the
caller wants.
In "kzfree()", the z is actively detrimental, because maybe in the
future we really _might_ want to use that "memfill(0xdeadbeef)" or
something. The "zero" part of the interface isn't even _relevant_.
The main reason that kzfree() exists is to clear sensitive information
that should not be leaked to other future users of the same memory
objects.
Rename kzfree() to kfree_sensitive() to follow the example of the recently
added kvfree_sensitive() and make the intention of the API more explicit.
In addition, memzero_explicit() is used to clear the memory to make sure
that it won't get optimized away by the compiler.
The renaming is done by using the command sequence:
git grep -w --name-only kzfree |\
xargs sed -i 's/kzfree/kfree_sensitive/'
followed by some editing of the kfree_sensitive() kerneldoc and adding
a kzfree backward compatibility macro in slab.h.

In most configurations, kmalloc() happens to return naturally aligned
(i.e. aligned to the block size itself) blocks for power of two sizes.
That means some kmalloc() users might unknowingly rely on that
alignment, until stuff breaks when the kernel is built with e.g.
CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG or CONFIG_SLOB, and blocks stop being aligned. Then
developers have to devise workaround such as own kmem caches with
specified alignment [1], which is not always practical, as recently
evidenced in [2].
The topic has been discussed at LSF/MM 2019 [3]. Adding a
'kmalloc_aligned()' variant would not help with code unknowingly relying
on the implicit alignment. For slab implementations it would either
require creating more kmalloc caches, or allocate a larger size and only
give back part of it. That would be wasteful, especially with a generic
alignment parameter (in contrast with a fixed alignment to size).
Ideally we should provide to mm users what they need without difficult
workarounds or own reimplementations, so let's make the kmalloc()
alignment to size explicitly guaranteed for power-of-two sizes under all
configurations. What this means for the three available allocators?
* SLAB object layout happens to be mostly unchanged by the patch. The
implicitly provided alignment could be compromised with
CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB due to redzoning, however SLAB disables redzoning for
caches with alignment larger than unsigned long long. Practically on at
least x86 this includes kmalloc caches as they use cache line alignment,
which is larger than that. Still, this patch ensures alignment on all
arches and cache sizes.
* SLUB layout is also unchanged unless redzoning is enabled through
CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG and boot parameter for the particular kmalloc cache.
With this patch, explicit alignment is guaranteed with redzoning as
well. This will result in more memory being wasted, but that should be
acceptable in a debugging scenario.
* SLOB has no implicit alignment so this patch adds it explicitly for
kmalloc(). The potential downside is increased fragmentation. While
pathological allocation scenarios are certainly possible, in my testing,
after booting a x86_64 kernel+userspace with virtme, around 16MB memory
was consumed by slab pages both before and after the patch, with
difference in the noise.

The memcg_cache_params structure is only embedded into the kmem_cache of
slab and slub allocators as defined in slab_def.h and slub_def.h and used
internally by mm code. There is no needed to expose it in a public
header. So move it from include/linux/slab.h to mm/slab.h. It is just a
refactoring patch with no code change.
In fact both the slub_def.h and slab_def.h should be moved into the mm
directory as well, but that will probably cause many merge conflicts.

There are concerns about memory leaks from extensive use of memory cgroups
as each memory cgroup creates its own set of kmem caches. There is a
possiblity that the memcg kmem caches may remain even after the memory
cgroups have been offlined. Therefore, it will be useful to show the
status of each of memcg kmem caches.
This patch introduces a new <debugfs>/memcg_slabinfo file which is
somewhat similar to /proc/slabinfo in format, but lists only information
about kmem caches that have child memcg kmem caches. Information
available in /proc/slabinfo are not repeated in memcg_slabinfo.
A portion of a sample output of the file was:
# <name> <css_id[:dead]> <active_objs> <num_objs> <active_slabs> <num_slabs>
rpc_inode_cache root 13 51 1 1
rpc_inode_cache 48 0 0 0 0
fat_inode_cache root 1 45 1 1
fat_inode_cache 41 2 45 1 1
xfs_inode root 770 816 24 24

xfs_inode 89:dead 23 34 1 1
xfs_inode 85 4 34 1 1

The css id of the memcg is also listed. If a memcg is not online,
the tag ":dead" will be attached as shown above.

Let's reparent non-root kmem_caches on memcg offlining. This allows us to
release the memory cgroup without waiting for the last outstanding kernel
object (e.g. dentry used by another application).
Since the parent cgroup is already charged, everything we need to do is to
splice the list of kmem_caches to the parent's kmem_caches list, swap the
memcg pointer, drop the css refcounter for each kmem_cache and adjust the
parent's css refcounter.
Please, note that kmem_cache->memcg_params.memcg isn't a stable pointer
anymore. It's safe to read it under rcu_read_lock(), cgroup_mutex held,
or any other way that protects the memory cgroup from being released.
We can race with the slab allocation and deallocation paths. It's not a
big problem: parent's charge and slab global stats are always correct, and
we don't care anymore about the child usage and global stats. The child
cgroup is already offline, so we don't use or show it anywhere.
Local slab stats (NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE and NR_SLAB_UNRECLAIMABLE) aren't
used anywhere except count_shadow_nodes(). But even there it won't break
anything: after reparenting "nodes" will be 0 on child level (because
we're already reparenting shrinker lists), and on parent level page stats
always were 0, and this patch won't change anything.

Currently each charged slab page holds a reference to the cgroup to which
it's charged. Kmem_caches are held by the memcg and are released all
together with the memory cgroup. It means that none of kmem_caches are
released unless at least one reference to the memcg exists, which is very
far from optimal.
Let's rework it in a way that allows releasing individual kmem_caches as
soon as the cgroup is offline, the kmem_cache is empty and there are no
pending allocations.
To make it possible, let's introduce a new percpu refcounter for non-root
kmem caches. The counter is initialized to the percpu mode, and is
switched to the atomic mode during kmem_cache deactivation. The counter
is bumped for every charged page and also for every running allocation.
So the kmem_cache can't be released unless all allocations complete.
To shutdown non-active empty kmem_caches, let's reuse the work queue,
previously used for the kmem_cache deactivation. Once the reference
counter reaches 0, let's schedule an asynchronous kmem_cache release.

The delayed work/rcu deactivation infrastructure of non-root kmem_caches
can be also used for asynchronous release of these objects. Let's get rid
of the word "deactivation" in corresponding names to make the code look
better after generalization.
It's easier to make the renaming first, so that the generalized code will
look consistent from scratch.
Let's rename struct memcg_cache_params fields:
deact_fn -> work_fn
deact_rcu_head -> rcu_head
deact_work -> work
And RCU/delayed work callbacks in slab common code:
kmemcg_deactivate_rcufn -> kmemcg_rcufn
kmemcg_deactivate_workfn -> kmemcg_workfn
This patch contains no functional changes, only renamings.

Patch series "iommu/io-pgtable-arm-v7s: Use DMA32 zone for page tables",
v6.
This is a followup to the discussion in [1], [2].
IOMMUs using ARMv7 short-descriptor format require page tables (level 1
and 2) to be allocated within the first 4GB of RAM, even on 64-bit
systems.
For L1 tables that are bigger than a page, we can just use
__get_free_pages with GFP_DMA32 (on arm64 systems only, arm would still
use GFP_DMA).
For L2 tables that only take 1KB, it would be a waste to allocate a full
page, so we considered 3 approaches:
1. This series, adding support for GFP_DMA32 slab caches.
2. genalloc, which requires pre-allocating the maximum number of L2 page
tables (4096, so 4MB of memory).
3. page_frag, which is not very memory-efficient as it is unable to reuse
freed fragments until the whole page is freed. [3]
This series is the most memory-efficient approach.
stable@ note:
We confirmed that this is a regression, and IOMMU errors happen on 4.19
and linux-next/master on MT8173 (elm, Acer Chromebook R13). The issue
most likely starts from commit ad67f5a6545f ("arm64: replace ZONE_DMA
with ZONE_DMA32"), i.e. 4.15, and presumably breaks a number of Mediatek
platforms (and maybe others?).
[1] https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/iommu/2018-November/030876.html
[2] https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/iommu/2018-December/031696.html
[3] https://patchwork.codeaurora.org/patch/671639/
This patch (of 3):
IOMMUs using ARMv7 short-descriptor format require page tables to be
allocated within the first 4GB of RAM, even on 64-bit systems. On arm64,
this is done by passing GFP_DMA32 flag to memory allocation functions.
For IOMMU L2 tables that only take 1KB, it would be a waste to allocate
a full page using get_free_pages, so we considered 3 approaches:
1. This patch, adding support for GFP_DMA32 slab caches.
2. genalloc, which requires pre-allocating the maximum number of L2
page tables (4096, so 4MB of memory).
3. page_frag, which is not very memory-efficient as it is unable
to reuse freed fragments until the whole page is freed.
This change makes it possible to create a custom cache in DMA32 zone using
kmem_cache_create, then allocate memory using kmem_cache_alloc.
We do not create a DMA32 kmalloc cache array, as there are currently no
users of kmalloc(..., GFP_DMA32). These calls will continue to trigger a
warning, as we keep GFP_DMA32 in GFP_SLAB_BUG_MASK.
This implies that calls to kmem_cache_*alloc on a SLAB_CACHE_DMA32
kmem_cache must _not_ use GFP_DMA32 (it is anyway redundant and
unnecessary).

Multiple people have reported the following sparse warning:
./include/linux/slab.h:332:43: warning: dubious: x & !y
The minimal fix would be to change the logical & to boolean &&, which
emits the same code, but Andrew has suggested that the branch-avoiding
tricks are maybe not worthwile. David Laight provided a nice comparison
of disassembly of multiple variants, which shows that the current version
produces a 4 deep dependency chain, and fixing the sparse warning by
changing logical and to multiplication emits an IMUL, making it even more
expensive.
The code as rewritten by this patch yielded the best disassembly, with a
single predictable branch for the most common case, and a ternary operator
for the rest, which gcc seems to compile without a branch or cmov by
itself.
The result should be more readable, without a sparse warning and probably
also faster for the common case.

Patch series "kasan: add software tag-based mode for arm64", v13.
This patchset adds a new software tag-based mode to KASAN [1]. (Initially
this mode was called KHWASAN, but it got renamed, see the naming rationale
at the end of this section).
The plan is to implement HWASan [2] for the kernel with the incentive,
that it's going to have comparable to KASAN performance, but in the same
time consume much less memory, trading that off for somewhat imprecise bug
detection and being supported only for arm64.
The underlying ideas of the approach used by software tag-based KASAN are:
1. By using the Top Byte Ignore (TBI) arm64 CPU feature, we can store
pointer tags in the top byte of each kernel pointer.
2. Using shadow memory, we can store memory tags for each chunk of kernel
memory.
3. On each memory allocation, we can generate a random tag, embed it into
the returned pointer and set the memory tags that correspond to this
chunk of memory to the same value.
4. By using compiler instrumentation, before each memory access we can add
a check that the pointer tag matches the tag of the memory that is being
accessed.
5. On a tag mismatch we report an error.
With this patchset the existing KASAN mode gets renamed to generic KASAN,
with the word "generic" meaning that the implementation can be supported
by any architecture as it is purely software.
The new mode this patchset adds is called software tag-based KASAN. The
word "tag-based" refers to the fact that this mode uses tags embedded into
the top byte of kernel pointers and the TBI arm64 CPU feature that allows
to dereference such pointers. The word "software" here means that shadow
memory manipulation and tag checking on pointer dereference is done in
software. As it is the only tag-based implementation right now, "software
tag-based" KASAN is sometimes referred to as simply "tag-based" in this
patchset.
A potential expansion of this mode is a hardware tag-based mode, which
would use hardware memory tagging support (announced by Arm [3]) instead
of compiler instrumentation and manual shadow memory manipulation.
Same as generic KASAN, software tag-based KASAN is strictly a debugging
feature.

[2] http://clang.llvm.org/docs/HardwareAssistedAddressSanitizerDesign.html
[3] https://community.arm.com/processors/b/blog/posts/arm-a-profile-architecture-2018-developments-armv85a
====== Rationale
On mobile devices generic KASAN's memory usage is significant problem.
One of the main reasons to have tag-based KASAN is to be able to perform a
similar set of checks as the generic one does, but with lower memory
requirements.
Comment from Vishwath Mohan <vishwath@google.com>:
I don't have data on-hand, but anecdotally both ASAN and KASAN have proven
problematic to enable for environments that don't tolerate the increased
memory pressure well. This includes
(a) Low-memory form factors - Wear, TV, Things, lower-tier phones like Go,
(c) Connected components like Pixel's visual core [1].
These are both places I'd love to have a low(er) memory footprint option at
my disposal.
Comment from Evgenii Stepanov <eugenis@google.com>:
Looking at a live Android device under load, slab (according to
/proc/meminfo) + kernel stack take 8-10% available RAM (~350MB). KASAN's
overhead of 2x - 3x on top of it is not insignificant.
Not having this overhead enables near-production use - ex. running
KASAN/KHWASAN kernel on a personal, daily-use device to catch bugs that do
not reproduce in test configuration. These are the ones that often cost
the most engineering time to track down.
CPU overhead is bad, but generally tolerable. RAM is critical, in our
experience. Once it gets low enough, OOM-killer makes your life
miserable.
[1] https://www.blog.google/products/pixel/pixel-visual-core-image-processing-and-machine-learning-pixel-2/
====== Technical details
Software tag-based KASAN mode is implemented in a very similar way to the
generic one. This patchset essentially does the following:
1. TCR_TBI1 is set to enable Top Byte Ignore.
2. Shadow memory is used (with a different scale, 1:16, so each shadow
byte corresponds to 16 bytes of kernel memory) to store memory tags.
3. All slab objects are aligned to shadow scale, which is 16 bytes.
4. All pointers returned from the slab allocator are tagged with a random
tag and the corresponding shadow memory is poisoned with the same value.
5. Compiler instrumentation is used to insert tag checks. Either by
calling callbacks or by inlining them (CONFIG_KASAN_OUTLINE and
CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE flags are reused).
6. When a tag mismatch is detected in callback instrumentation mode
KASAN simply prints a bug report. In case of inline instrumentation,
clang inserts a brk instruction, and KASAN has it's own brk handler,
which reports the bug.
7. The memory in between slab objects is marked with a reserved tag, and
acts as a redzone.
8. When a slab object is freed it's marked with a reserved tag.
Bug detection is imprecise for two reasons:
1. We won't catch some small out-of-bounds accesses, that fall into the
same shadow cell, as the last byte of a slab object.
2. We only have 1 byte to store tags, which means we have a 1/256
probability of a tag match for an incorrect access (actually even
slightly less due to reserved tag values).
Despite that there's a particular type of bugs that tag-based KASAN can
detect compared to generic KASAN: use-after-free after the object has been
allocated by someone else.
====== Testing
Some kernel developers voiced a concern that changing the top byte of
kernel pointers may lead to subtle bugs that are difficult to discover.
To address this concern deliberate testing has been performed.
It doesn't seem feasible to do some kind of static checking to find
potential issues with pointer tagging, so a dynamic approach was taken.
All pointer comparisons/subtractions have been instrumented in an LLVM
compiler pass and a kernel module that would print a bug report whenever
two pointers with different tags are being compared/subtracted (ignoring
comparisons with NULL pointers and with pointers obtained by casting an
error code to a pointer type) has been used. Then the kernel has been
booted in QEMU and on an Odroid C2 board and syzkaller has been run.
This yielded the following results.
The two places that look interesting are:
is_vmalloc_addr in include/linux/mm.h
is_kernel_rodata in mm/util.c
Here we compare a pointer with some fixed untagged values to make sure
that the pointer lies in a particular part of the kernel address space.
Since tag-based KASAN doesn't add tags to pointers that belong to rodata
or vmalloc regions, this should work as is. To make sure debug checks to
those two functions that check that the result doesn't change whether we
operate on pointers with or without untagging has been added.
A few other cases that don't look that interesting:
Comparing pointers to achieve unique sorting order of pointee objects
(e.g. sorting locks addresses before performing a double lock):
tty_ldisc_lock_pair_timeout in drivers/tty/tty_ldisc.c
pipe_double_lock in fs/pipe.c
unix_state_double_lock in net/unix/af_unix.c
lock_two_nondirectories in fs/inode.c
mutex_lock_double in kernel/events/core.c
ep_cmp_ffd in fs/eventpoll.c
fsnotify_compare_groups fs/notify/mark.c
Nothing needs to be done here, since the tags embedded into pointers
don't change, so the sorting order would still be unique.
Checks that a pointer belongs to some particular allocation:
is_sibling_entry in lib/radix-tree.c
object_is_on_stack in include/linux/sched/task_stack.h
Nothing needs to be done here either, since two pointers can only belong
to the same allocation if they have the same tag.
Overall, since the kernel boots and works, there are no critical bugs.
As for the rest, the traditional kernel testing way (use until fails) is
the only one that looks feasible.
Another point here is that tag-based KASAN is available under a separate
config option that needs to be deliberately enabled. Even though it might
be used in a "near-production" environment to find bugs that are not found
during fuzzing or running tests, it is still a debug tool.
====== Benchmarks
The following numbers were collected on Odroid C2 board. Both generic and
tag-based KASAN were used in inline instrumentation mode.
Boot time [1]:
* ~1.7 sec for clean kernel
* ~5.0 sec for generic KASAN
* ~5.0 sec for tag-based KASAN
Network performance [2]:
* 8.33 Gbits/sec for clean kernel
* 3.17 Gbits/sec for generic KASAN
* 2.85 Gbits/sec for tag-based KASAN
Slab memory usage after boot [3]:
* ~40 kb for clean kernel
* ~105 kb (~260% overhead) for generic KASAN
* ~47 kb (~20% overhead) for tag-based KASAN
KASAN memory overhead consists of three main parts:
1. Increased slab memory usage due to redzones.
2. Shadow memory (the whole reserved once during boot).
3. Quaratine (grows gradually until some preset limit; the more the limit,
the more the chance to detect a use-after-free).
Comparing tag-based vs generic KASAN for each of these points:
1. 20% vs 260% overhead.
2. 1/16th vs 1/8th of physical memory.
3. Tag-based KASAN doesn't require quarantine.
[1] Time before the ext4 driver is initialized.
[2] Measured as `iperf -s & iperf -c 127.0.0.1 -t 30`.
[3] Measured as `cat /proc/meminfo | grep Slab`.
====== Some notes
A few notes:
1. The patchset can be found here:
https://github.com/xairy/kasan-prototype/tree/khwasan
2. Building requires a recent Clang version (7.0.0 or later).
3. Stack instrumentation is not supported yet and will be added later.
This patch (of 25):
Tag-based KASAN changes the value of the top byte of pointers returned
from the kernel allocation functions (such as kmalloc). This patch
updates KASAN hooks signatures and their usage in SLAB and SLUB code to
reflect that.

jc: fixed conflict with willy's memory-allocation tag patch.
|
|
Add references to GFP documentation and the memory-allocation.rst and remove
GFP_USER, GFP_DMA and GFP_NOIO descriptions.
While on it slightly change the formatting so that the list of GFP flags
will be rendered as "description" in the generated html.

Kmem caches can be created with a SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT flag, which
indicates they contain objects which can be reclaimed under memory
pressure (typically through a shrinker). This makes the slab pages
accounted as NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE in vmstat, which is reflected also the
MemAvailable meminfo counter and in overcommit decisions. The slab pages
are also allocated with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE, which is good for
anti-fragmentation through grouping pages by mobility.
The generic kmalloc-X caches are created without this flag, but sometimes
are used also for objects that can be reclaimed, which due to varying size
cannot have a dedicated kmem cache with SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT flag. A
prominent example are dcache external names, which prompted the creation
of a new, manually managed vmstat counter NR_INDIRECTLY_RECLAIMABLE_BYTES
in commit f1782c9bc547 ("dcache: account external names as indirectly
reclaimable memory").
To better handle this and any other similar cases, this patch introduces
SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT variants of kmalloc caches, named kmalloc-rcl-X.
They are used whenever the kmalloc() call passes __GFP_RECLAIMABLE among
gfp flags. They are added to the kmalloc_caches array as a new type.
Allocations with both __GFP_DMA and __GFP_RECLAIMABLE will use a dma type
cache.
This change only applies to SLAB and SLUB, not SLOB. This is fine, since
SLOB's target are tiny system and this patch does add some overhead of
kmem management objects.

Patch series "kmalloc-reclaimable caches", v4.
As discussed at LSF/MM [1] here's a patchset that introduces
kmalloc-reclaimable caches (more details in the second patch) and uses
them for dcache external names. That allows us to repurpose the
NR_INDIRECTLY_RECLAIMABLE_BYTES counter later in the series.
With patch 3/6, dcache external names are allocated from kmalloc-rcl-*
caches, eliminating the need for manual accounting. More importantly, it
also ensures the reclaimable kmalloc allocations are grouped in pages
separate from the regular kmalloc allocations. The need for proper
accounting of dcache external names has shown it's easy for misbehaving
process to allocate lots of them, causing premature OOMs. Without the
added grouping, it's likely that a similar workload can interleave the
dcache external names allocations with regular kmalloc allocations (note:
I haven't searched myself for an example of such regular kmalloc
allocation, but I would be very surprised if there wasn't some). A
pathological case would be e.g. one 64byte regular allocations with 63
external dcache names in a page (64x64=4096), which means the page is not
freed even after reclaiming after all dcache names, and the process can
thus "steal" the whole page with single 64byte allocation.
If other kmalloc users similar to dcache external names become identified,
they can also benefit from the new functionality simply by adding
__GFP_RECLAIMABLE to the kmalloc calls.
Side benefits of the patchset (that could be also merged separately)
include removed branch for detecting __GFP_DMA kmalloc(), and shortening
kmalloc cache names in /proc/slabinfo output. The latter is potentially
an ABI break in case there are tools parsing the names and expecting the
values to be in bytes.
This is how /proc/slabinfo looks like after booting in virtme:
...
kmalloc-rcl-4M 0 0 4194304 1 1024 : tunables 1 1 0 : slabdata 0 0 0

kmalloc-rcl-32 0 0 32 124 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 0 0 0
kmalloc-4M 0 0 4194304 1 1024 : tunables 1 1 0 : slabdata 0 0 0
kmalloc-2M 0 0 2097152 1 512 : tunables 1 1 0 : slabdata 0 0 0
kmalloc-1M 0 0 1048576 1 256 : tunables 1 1 0 : slabdata 0 0 0
...
/proc/vmstat with renamed nr_indirectly_reclaimable_bytes counter:
...
nr_slab_reclaimable 2817
nr_slab_unreclaimable 1781
...
nr_kernel_misc_reclaimable 0
...
/proc/meminfo with new KReclaimable counter:
...
Shmem: 564 kB
KReclaimable: 11260 kB
Slab: 18368 kB
SReclaimable: 11260 kB
SUnreclaim: 7108 kB
KernelStack: 1248 kB
...
This patch (of 6):
The kmalloc caches currently mainain separate (optional) array
kmalloc_dma_caches for __GFP_DMA allocations. There are tests for
__GFP_DMA in the allocation hotpaths. We can avoid the branches by
combining kmalloc_caches and kmalloc_dma_caches into a single
two-dimensional array where the outer dimension is cache "type". This
will also allow to add kmalloc-reclaimable caches as a third type.
