2019-09-24mm, page_owner, debug_pagealloc: save and dump freeing stack traceVlastimil Babka
The debug_pagealloc functionality is useful to catch buggy page allocator users that cause e.g. use after free or double free. When page inconsistency is detected, debugging is often simpler by knowing the call stack of process that last allocated and freed the page. When page_owner is also enabled, we record the allocation stack trace, but not freeing. This patch therefore adds recording of freeing process stack trace to page owner info, if both page_owner and debug_pagealloc are configured and enabled. With only page_owner enabled, this info is not useful for the memory leak debugging use case. dump_page() is adjusted to print the info. An example result of calling __free_pages() twice may look like this (note the page last free stack trace): BUG: Bad page state in process bash pfn:13d8f8 page:ffffc31984f63e00 refcount:-1 mapcount:0 mapping:0000000000000000 index:0x0 flags: 0x1affff800000000() raw: 01affff800000000 dead000000000100 dead000000000122 0000000000000000 raw: 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 ffffffffffffffff 0000000000000000 page dumped because: nonzero _refcount page_owner tracks the page as freed page last allocated via order 0, migratetype Unmovable, gfp_mask 0xcc0(GFP_KERNEL) prep_new_page+0x143/0x150 get_page_from_freelist+0x289/0x380 __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x13c/0x2d0 khugepaged+0x6e/0xc10 kthread+0xf9/0x130 ret_from_fork+0x3a/0x50 page last free stack trace: free_pcp_prepare+0x134/0x1e0 free_unref_page+0x18/0x90 khugepaged+0x7b/0xc10 kthread+0xf9/0x130 ret_from_fork+0x3a/0x50 Modules linked in: CPU: 3 PID: 271 Comm: bash Not tainted 5.3.0-rc4-2.g07a1a73-default+ #57 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS rel-1.12.1-0-ga5cab58-prebuilt.qemu.org 04/01/2014 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x85/0xc0 bad_page.cold+0xba/0xbf rmqueue_pcplist.isra.0+0x6c5/0x6d0 rmqueue+0x2d/0x810 get_page_from_freelist+0x191/0x380 __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x13c/0x2d0 __get_free_pages+0xd/0x30 __pud_alloc+0x2c/0x110 copy_page_range+0x4f9/0x630 dup_mmap+0x362/0x480 dup_mm+0x68/0x110 copy_process+0x19e1/0x1b40 _do_fork+0x73/0x310 __x64_sys_clone+0x75/0x80 do_syscall_64+0x6e/0x1e0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe RIP: 0033:0x7f10af854a10 ...

2019-07-12mm, debug_pagealloc: use a page type instead of page_ext flagVlastimil Babka
When debug_pagealloc is enabled, we currently allocate the page_ext array to mark guard pages with the PAGE_EXT_DEBUG_GUARD flag. Now that we have the page_type field in struct page, we can use that instead, as guard pages are neither PageSlab nor mapped to userspace. This reduces memory overhead when debug_pagealloc is enabled and there are no other features requiring the page_ext array.

2019-07-12mm, page_alloc: more extensive free page checking with debug_pageallocVlastimil Babka
The page allocator checks struct pages for expected state (mapcount, flags etc) as pages are being allocated (check_new_page()) and freed (free_pages_check()) to provide some defense against errors in page allocator users. Prior commits 479f854a207c ("mm, page_alloc: defer debugging checks of pages allocated from the PCP") and 4db7548ccbd9 ("mm, page_alloc: defer debugging checks of freed pages until a PCP drain") this has happened for order-0 pages as they were allocated from or freed to the per-cpu caches (pcplists). Since those are fast paths, the checks are now performed only when pages are moved between pcplists and global free lists. This however lowers the chances of catching errors soon enough. In order to increase the chances of the checks to catch errors, the kernel has to be rebuilt with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM, which also enables multiple other internal debug checks (VM_BUG_ON() etc), which is suboptimal when the goal is to catch errors in mm users, not in mm code itself. To catch some wrong users of the page allocator we have CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, which is designed to have virtually no overhead unless enabled at boot time. Memory corruptions when writing to freed pages have often the same underlying errors (use-after-free, double free) as corrupting the corresponding struct pages, so this existing debugging functionality is a good fit to extend by also perform struct page checks at least as often as if CONFIG_DEBUG_VM was enabled. Specifically, after this patch, when debug_pagealloc is enabled on boot, and CONFIG_DEBUG_VM disabled, pages are checked when allocated from or freed to the pcplists *in addition* to being moved between pcplists and free lists. When both debug_pagealloc and CONFIG_DEBUG_VM are enabled, pages are checked when being moved between pcplists and free lists *in addition* to when allocated from or freed to the pcplists. When debug_pagealloc is not enabled on boot, the overhead in fast paths should be virtually none thanks to the use of static key.

'default n' is the default value for any bool or tristate Kconfig setting so there is no need to write it explicitly. Also since commit f467c5640c29 ("kconfig: only write '# CONFIG_FOO is not set' for visible symbols") the Kconfig behavior is the same regardless of 'default n' being present or not: ... One side effect of (and the main motivation for) this change is making the following two definitions behave exactly the same: config FOO bool config FOO bool default n With this change, neither of these will generate a '# CONFIG_FOO is not set' line (assuming FOO isn't selected/implied). That might make it clearer to people that a bare 'default n' is redundant. ...

2017-05-03mm: enable page poisoning early at bootVinayak Menon
On SPARSEMEM systems page poisoning is enabled after buddy is up, because of the dependency on page extension init. This causes the pages released by free_all_bootmem not to be poisoned. This either delays or misses the identification of some issues because the pages have to undergo another cycle of alloc-free-alloc for any corruption to be detected. Enable page poisoning early by getting rid of the PAGE_EXT_DEBUG_POISON flag. Since all the free pages will now be poisoned, the flag need not be verified before checking the poison during an alloc.

2017-02-27mm: add arch-independent testcases for RODATAJinbum Park
This patch makes arch-independent testcases for RODATA. Both x86 and x86_64 already have testcases for RODATA, But they are arch-specific because using inline assembly directly. And cacheflush.h is not a suitable location for rodata-test related things. Since they were in cacheflush.h, If someone change the state of CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA_TEST, It cause overhead of kernel build. To solve the above issues, write arch-independent testcases and move it to shared location.

2016-09-13PM / Hibernate: allow hibernation with PAGE_POISONING_ZEROAnisse Astier
PAGE_POISONING_ZERO disables zeroing new pages on alloc, they are poisoned (zeroed) as they become available. In the hibernate use case, free pages will appear in the system without being cleared, left there by the loading kernel. This patch will make sure free pages are cleared on resume when PAGE_POISONING_ZERO is enabled. We free the pages just after resume because we can't do it later: going through any device resume code might allocate some memory and invalidate the free pages bitmap. Thus we don't need to disable hibernation when PAGE_POISONING_ZERO is enabled.

2016-03-17mm/page_ref: add tracepoint to track down page reference manipulationJoonsoo Kim
CMA allocation should be guaranteed to succeed by definition, but, unfortunately, it would be failed sometimes. It is hard to track down the problem, because it is related to page reference manipulation and we don't have any facility to analyze it. This patch adds tracepoints to track down page reference manipulation. With it, we can find exact reason of failure and can fix the problem. Following is an example of tracepoint output. (note: this example is stale version that printing flags as the number. Recent version will print it as human readable string.) <...>-9018 [004] 92.678375: page_ref_set: pfn=0x17ac9 flags=0x0 count=1 mapcount=0 mapping=(nil) mt=4 val=1 <...>-9018 [004] 92.678378: kernel_stack: => get_page_from_freelist (ffffffff81176659) => __alloc_pages_nodemask (ffffffff81176d22) => alloc_pages_vma (ffffffff811bf675) => handle_mm_fault (ffffffff8119e693) => __do_page_fault (ffffffff810631ea) => trace_do_page_fault (ffffffff81063543) => do_async_page_fault (ffffffff8105c40a) => async_page_fault (ffffffff817581d8) [snip] <...>-9018 [004] 92.678379: page_ref_mod: pfn=0x17ac9 flags=0x40048 count=2 mapcount=1 mapping=0xffff880015a78dc1 mt=4 val=1 [snip] ... ... <...>-9131 [001] 93.174468: test_pages_isolated: start_pfn=0x17800 end_pfn=0x17c00 fin_pfn=0x17ac9 ret=fail [snip] <...>-9018 [004] 93.174843: page_ref_mod_and_test: pfn=0x17ac9 flags=0x40068 count=0 mapcount=0 mapping=0xffff880015a78dc1 mt=4 val=-1 ret=1 => release_pages (ffffffff8117c9e4) => free_pages_and_swap_cache (ffffffff811b0697) => tlb_flush_mmu_free (ffffffff81199616) => tlb_finish_mmu (ffffffff8119a62c) => exit_mmap (ffffffff811a53f7) => mmput (ffffffff81073f47) => do_exit (ffffffff810794e9) => do_group_exit (ffffffff81079def) => SyS_exit_group (ffffffff81079e74) => entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath (ffffffff817560b6) This output shows that problem comes from exit path.

By default, page poisoning uses a poison value (0xaa) on free. If this is changed to 0, the page is not only sanitized but zeroing on alloc with __GFP_ZERO can be skipped as well. The tradeoff is that detecting corruption from the poisoning is harder to detect. This feature also cannot be used with hibernation since pages are not guaranteed to be zeroed after hibernation.

2016-03-15mm/page_poison.c: enable PAGE_POISONING as a separate optionLaura Abbott
Page poisoning is currently set up as a feature if architectures don't have architecture debug page_alloc to allow unmapping of pages. It has uses apart from that though. Clearing of the pages on free provides an increase in security as it helps to limit the risk of information leaks. Allow page poisoning to be enabled as a separate option independent of kernel_map pages since the two features do separate work. Because of how hiberanation is implemented, the checks on alloc cannot occur if hibernation is enabled. The runtime alloc checks can also be enabled with an option when !HIBERNATION.

Since commit 031bc5743f158 ("mm/debug-pagealloc: make debug-pagealloc boottime configurable") CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is by default not adding any page debugging. This resulted in several unnoticed bugs, e.g. https://lkml.kernel.org/g/<569F5E29.3090107@de.ibm.com> or https://lkml.kernel.org/g/<56A20F30.4050705@de.ibm.com> as this behaviour change was not even documented in Kconfig. Let's provide a new Kconfig symbol that allows to change the default back to enabled, e.g. for debug kernels. This also makes the change obvious to kernel packagers. Let's also change the Kconfig description for CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, to indicate that there are two stages of overhead.

2014-12-13mm/debug-pagealloc: prepare boottime configurable on/offJoonsoo Kim
Until now, debug-pagealloc needs extra flags in struct page, so we need to recompile whole source code when we decide to use it. This is really painful, because it takes some time to recompile and sometimes rebuild is not possible due to third party module depending on struct page. So, we can't use this good feature in many cases. Now, we have the page extension feature that allows us to insert extra flags to outside of struct page. This gets rid of third party module issue mentioned above. And, this allows us to determine if we need extra memory for this page extension in boottime. With these property, we can avoid using debug-pagealloc in boottime with low computational overhead in the kernel built with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC. This will help our development process greatly. This patch is the preparation step to achive above goal. debug-pagealloc originally uses extra field of struct page, but, after this patch, it will use field of struct page_ext. Because memory for page_ext is allocated later than initialization of page allocator in CONFIG_SPARSEMEM, we should disable debug-pagealloc feature temporarily until initialization of page_ext. This patch implements this.

2014-12-13mm/page_ext: resurrect struct page extending code for debuggingJoonsoo Kim
When we debug something, we'd like to insert some information to every page. For this purpose, we sometimes modify struct page itself. But, this has drawbacks. First, it requires re-compile. This makes us hesitate to use the powerful debug feature so development process is slowed down. And, second, sometimes it is impossible to rebuild the kernel due to third party module dependency. At third, system behaviour would be largely different after re-compile, because it changes size of struct page greatly and this structure is accessed by every part of kernel. Keeping this as it is would be better to reproduce errornous situation. This feature is intended to overcome above mentioned problems. This feature allocates memory for extended data per page in certain place rather than the struct page itself. This memory can be accessed by the accessor functions provided by this code. During the boot process, it checks whether allocation of huge chunk of memory is needed or not. If not, it avoids allocating memory at all. With this advantage, we can include this feature into the kernel in default and can avoid rebuild and solve related problems. Until now, memcg uses this technique. But, now, memcg decides to embed their variable to struct page itself and it's code to extend struct page has been removed. I'd like to use this code to develop debug feature, so this patch resurrect it. To help these things to work well, this patch introduces two callbacks for clients. One is the need callback which is mandatory if user wants to avoid useless memory allocation at boot-time. The other is optional, init callback, which is used to do proper initialization after memory is allocated. Detailed explanation about purpose of these functions is in code comment. Please refer it. Others are completely same with previous extension code in memcg.

2012-01-10mm: more intensive memory corruption debuggingStanislaw Gruszka
With CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC configured, the CPU will generate an exception on access (read,write) to an unallocated page, which permits us to catch code which corrupts memory. However the kernel is trying to maximise memory usage, hence there are usually few free pages in the system and buggy code usually corrupts some crucial data. This patch changes the buddy allocator to keep more free/protected pages and to interlace free/protected and allocated pages to increase the probability of catching corruption. When the kernel is compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, debug_guardpage_minorder defines the minimum order used by the page allocator to grant a request. The requested size will be returned with the remaining pages used as guard pages. The default value of debug_guardpage_minorder is zero: no change from current behaviour.

2009-04-01generic debug pageallocAkinobu Mita
CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is now supported by x86, powerpc, sparc64, and s390. This patch implements it for the rest of the architectures by filling the pages with poison byte patterns after free_pages() and verifying the poison patterns before alloc_pages(). This generic one cannot detect invalid page accesses immediately but invalid read access may cause invalid dereference by poisoned memory and invalid write access can be detected after a long delay.
