Nicolas Boichat 6d6ea1e967 mm: add support for kmem caches in DMA32 zone
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 ad67f5a654 ("arm64: replace ZONE_DMA
  with ZONE_DMA32"), i.e. 4.15, and presumably breaks a number of Mediatek
  platforms (and maybe others?).

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).

Mike Rapoport a862f68a8b docs/core-api/mm: fix return value descriptions in mm/
Many kernel-doc comments in mm/ have the return value descriptions
either misformatted or omitted at all which makes kernel-doc script
unhappy:

$ make V=1 htmldocs
...
./mm/util.c:36: info: Scanning doc for kstrdup
./mm/util.c:41: warning: No description found for return value of 'kstrdup'
./mm/util.c:57: info: Scanning doc for kstrdup_const
./mm/util.c:66: warning: No description found for return value of 'kstrdup_const'
./mm/util.c:75: info: Scanning doc for kstrndup
./mm/util.c:83: warning: No description found for return value of 'kstrndup'
...

Fixing the formatting and adding the missing return value descriptions
eliminates ~100 such warnings.

Chris Down aa9694bb78 mm, memcg: create mem_cgroup_from_seq
This is the start of a series of patches similar to my earlier
DEFINE_MEMCG_MAX_OR_VAL work, but with less Macro Magic(tm).

There are a bunch of places we go from seq_file to mem_cgroup, which
currently requires manually getting the css, then getting the mem_cgroup
from the css.  It's in enough places now that having mem_cgroup_from_seq
makes sense (and also makes the next patch a bit nicer).

Andrey Konovalov a2f775751d kmemleak: account for tagged pointers when calculating pointer range
kmemleak keeps two global variables, min_addr and max_addr, which store
the range of valid (encountered by kmemleak) pointer values, which it
later uses to speed up pointer lookup when scanning blocks.

With tagged pointers this range will get bigger than it needs to be.  This
patch makes kmemleak untag pointers before saving them to min_addr and
max_addr and when performing a lookup.

Andrey Konovalov 53128245b4 kasan, kmemleak: pass tagged pointers to kmemleak
Right now we call kmemleak hooks before assigning tags to pointers in
KASAN hooks.  As a result, when an objects gets allocated, kmemleak sees a
differently tagged pointer, compared to the one it sees when the object
gets freed.  Fix it by calling KASAN hooks before kmemleak's ones.

Andrey Konovalov 772a2fa50f kasan, mm: perform untagged pointers comparison in krealloc
The krealloc function checks where the same buffer was reused or a new one
allocated by comparing kernel pointers.  Tag-based KASAN changes memory
tag on the krealloc'ed chunk of memory and therefore also changes the
pointer tag of the returned pointer.  Therefore we need to perform
comparison on untagged (with tags reset) pointers to check whether it's
the same memory region or not.

Andrey Konovalov 0116523cff kasan, mm: change hooks signatures
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.

====== 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.

Vlastimil Babka f0d7787414 mm, slab: shorten kmalloc cache names for large sizes
Kmalloc cache names can get quite long for large object sizes, when the
sizes are expressed in bytes.  Use 'k' and 'M' prefixes to make the names
as short as possible e.g.  in /proc/slabinfo.  This works, as we mostly
use power-of-two sizes, with exceptions only below 1k.

Example: 'kmalloc-4194304' becomes 'kmalloc-4M'

Vlastimil Babka 1291523f2c mm, slab/slub: introduce kmalloc-reclaimable caches
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 f1782c9bc5 ("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.

Vlastimil Babka cc252eae85 mm, slab: combine kmalloc_caches and kmalloc_dma_caches
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:

...
nr_slab_reclaimable 2817
nr_slab_unreclaimable 1781
...
nr_kernel_misc_reclaimable 0
...

KReclaimable:      11260 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.

Dmitry Vyukov 61448479a9 mm: don't warn about large allocations for slab
Slub does not call kmalloc_slab() for sizes > KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE,
instead it falls back to kmalloc_large().

For slab KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE == KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE and it calls
kmalloc_slab() for all allocations relying on NULL return value for
over-sized allocations.

This inconsistency leads to unwanted warnings from kmalloc_slab() for
over-sized allocations for slab.  Returning NULL for failed allocations is
the expected behavior.

Make slub and slab code consistent by checking size >
KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE in slab before calling kmalloc_slab().

While we are here also fix the check in kmalloc_slab().  We should check
against KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE rather than KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE.  It all kinda
worked because for slab the constants are the same, and slub always checks
the size against KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE before kmalloc_slab().  But if we
get there with size > KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE anyhow bad things will
happen.  For example, in case of a newly introduced bug in slub code.

Also move the check in kmalloc_slab() from function entry to the size >
192 case.  This partially compensates for the additional check in slab
code and makes slub code a bit faster (at least theoretically).

Also drop __GFP_NOWARN in the warning check.  This warning means a bug in
slab code itself, user-passed flags have nothing to do with it.

Nothing of this affects slob.

Mikulas Patocka d50d82faa0 slub: fix failure when we delete and create a slab cache
In kernel 4.17 I removed some code from dm-bufio that did slab cache
merging (commit 21bb13276768: "dm bufio: remove code that merges slab
caches") - both slab and slub support merging caches with identical
attributes, so dm-bufio now just calls kmem_cache_create and relies on
implicit merging.

This uncovered a bug in the slub subsystem - if we delete a cache and
immediatelly create another cache with the same attributes, it fails
because of duplicate filename in /sys/kernel/slab/.  The slub subsystem
offloads freeing the cache to a workqueue - and if we create the new
cache before the workqueue runs, it complains because of duplicate
filename in sysfs.

This patch fixes the bug by moving the call of kobject_del from
sysfs_slab_remove_workfn to shutdown_cache.  kobject_del must be called
while we hold slab_mutex - so that the sysfs entry is deleted before a
cache with the same attributes could be created.

  dmtest run --suite thin-provisioning -n /commit_failure_causes_fallback/

Shakeel Butt 92ee383f6d mm: fix race between kmem_cache destroy, create and deactivate
The memcg kmem cache creation and deactivation (SLUB only) is
asynchronous.  If a root kmem cache is destroyed whose memcg cache is in
the process of creation or deactivation, the kernel may crash.

Example of one such crash:
	general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI
	CPU: 1 PID: 1721 Comm: kworker/14:1 Not tainted 4.17.0-smp
	...
	Workqueue: memcg_kmem_cache kmemcg_deactivate_workfn
	RIP: 0010:has_cpu_slab
	...
	Call Trace:
	? on_each_cpu_cond
	__kmem_cache_shrink
	kmemcg_cache_deact_after_rcu
	kmemcg_deactivate_workfn
	process_one_work
	worker_thread
	kthread
	ret_from_fork+0x35/0x40

To fix this race, on root kmem cache destruction, mark the cache as
dying and flush the workqueue used for memcg kmem cache creation and
deactivation.  SLUB's memcg kmem cache deactivation also includes RCU
callback and thus make sure all previous registered RCU callbacks have
completed as well.

Howard McLauchlan 4f6923fbb3 mm: make should_failslab always available for fault injection
should_failslab() is a convenient function to hook into for directed
error injection into kmalloc().  However, it is only available if a
config flag is set.

The following BCC script, for example, fails kmalloc() calls after a
btrfs umount:

    from bcc import BPF

    prog = r"""
    BPF_HASH(flag);

    #include <linux/mm.h>

    int kprobe__btrfs_close_devices(void *ctx) {
            u64 key = 1;
            flag.update(&key, &key);
            return 0;
    }

    int kprobe__should_failslab(struct pt_regs *ctx) {
            u64 key = 1;
            u64 *res;
            res = flag.lookup(&key);
            if (res != 0) {
                bpf_override_return(ctx, -ENOMEM);
            }
            return 0;
    }
    """
    b = BPF(text=prog)

    while 1:
        b.kprobe_poll()

This patch refactors the should_failslab implementation so that the
function is always available for error injection, independent of flags.

This change would be similar in nature to commit f5490d3ec921 ("block:
Add should_fail_bio() for bpf error injection").

Mikulas Patocka 1ba586de22 mm/slab_common.c: remove test if cache name is accessible
Since commit db265eca77 ("mm/sl[aou]b: Move duping of slab name to
slab_common.c"), the kernel always duplicates the slab cache name when
creating a slab cache, so the test if the slab name is accessible is

Shakeel Butt 613a5eb567 slab, slub: remove size disparity on debug kernel
I have noticed on debug kernel with SLAB, the size of some non-root
slabs were larger than their corresponding root slabs.

e.g. for radix_tree_node:
  $cat /proc/slabinfo | grep radix
  name     <active_objs> <num_objs> <objsize> <objperslab> <pagesperslab> ...
  radix_tree_node 15052    15075      4096         1             1 ...

  $cat /cgroup/memory/temp/memory.kmem.slabinfo | grep radix
  name     <active_objs> <num_objs> <objsize> <objperslab> <pagesperslab> ...
  radix_tree_node 1581      158       4120         1             2 ...

However for SLUB in debug kernel, the sizes were same.  On further
inspection it is found that SLUB always use kmem_cache.object_size to
measure the kmem_cache.size while SLAB use the given kmem_cache.size.
In the debug kernel the slab's size can be larger than its object_size.
Thus in the creation of non-root slab, the SLAB uses the root's size as
base to calculate the non-root slab's size and thus non-root slab's size
can be larger than the root slab's size.  For SLUB, the non-root slab's
size is measured based on the root's object_size and thus the size will
remain same for root and non-root slab.

This patch makes slab's object_size the default base to measure the
slab's size.

This introduces CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY_FALLBACK to control the
behavior of hardened usercopy whitelist violations. By default, whitelist
violations will continue to WARN() so that any bad or missing usercopy
whitelists can be discovered without being too disruptive.

If this config is disabled at build time or a system is booted with
"slab_common.usercopy_fallback=0", usercopy whitelists will BUG() instead
of WARN(). This is useful for admins that want to use usercopy whitelists
immediately.

David Windsor 8eb8284b41 usercopy: Prepare for usercopy whitelisting
This patch prepares the slab allocator to handle caches having annotations
(useroffset and usersize) defining usercopy regions.

This patch is modified from Brad Spengler/PaX Team's PAX_USERCOPY
whitelisting code in the last public patch of grsecurity/PaX based on
my understanding of the code. Changes or omissions from the original
code are mine and don't reflect the original grsecurity/PaX code.

Currently, hardened usercopy performs dynamic bounds checking on slab
cache objects. This is good, but still leaves a lot of kernel memory
available to be copied to/from userspace in the face of bugs. To further
restrict what memory is available for copying, this creates a way to
whitelist specific areas of a given slab cache object for copying to/from
userspace, allowing much finer granularity of access control. Slab caches
that are never exposed to userspace can declare no whitelist for their
objects, thereby keeping them unavailable to userspace via dynamic copy
operations. (Note, an implicit form of whitelisting is the use of constant
sizes in usercopy operations and get_user()/put_user(); these bypass
hardened usercopy checks since these sizes cannot change at runtime.)

To support this whitelist annotation, usercopy region offset and size
members are added to struct kmem_cache. The slab allocator receives a
new function, kmem_cache_create_usercopy(), that creates a new cache
with a usercopy region defined, suitable for declaring spans of fields
within the objects that get copied to/from userspace.

In this patch, the default kmem_cache_create() marks the entire allocation
as whitelisted, leaving it semantically unchanged. Once all fine-grained
whitelists have been added (in subsequent patches), this will be changed
to a usersize of 0, making caches created with kmem_cache_create() not
copyable to/from userspace.

After the entire usercopy whitelist series is applied, less than 15%
of the slab cache memory remains exposed to potential usercopy bugs
after a fresh boot:

Total Slab Memory:           48074720
Usercopyable Memory:          6367532  13.2%

Yang Shi 852d8be0ad mm: oom: show unreclaimable slab info when unreclaimable slabs > user memory
The kernel may panic when an oom happens without killable process
sometimes it is caused by huge unreclaimable slabs used by kernel.

Although kdump could help debug such problem, however, kdump is not
available on all architectures and it might be malfunction sometime.
And, since kernel already panic it is worthy capturing such information
in dmesg to aid touble shooting.

Print out unreclaimable slab info (used size and total size) which
actual memory usage is not zero (num_objs * size != 0) when
unreclaimable slabs amount is greater than total user memory (LRU
pages).

The output looks like:

Greg Kroah-Hartman b24413180f License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Johannes Weiner f80c7dab95 mm: memcontrol: use vmalloc fallback for large kmem memcg arrays
For quick per-memcg indexing, slab caches and list_lru structures
maintain linear arrays of descriptors.  As the number of concurrent
memory cgroups in the system goes up, this requires large contiguous
allocations (8k cgroups = order-5, 16k cgroups = order-6 etc.) for every
existing slab cache and list_lru, which can easily fail on loaded
systems.  E.g.:

  mkdir: page allocation failure: order:5, mode:0x14040c0(GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_COMP), nodemask=(null)

This output is from an artificial reproducer, but we have repeatedly

Use kvmalloc and kvzalloc to fall back to vmalloc space if these arrays
prove too large for allocating them physically contiguous.

Kees Cook 7660a6fddc mm: allow slab_nomerge to be set at build time
Some hardened environments want to build kernels with slab_nomerge
already set (so that they do not depend on remembering to set the kernel
command line option).  This is desired to reduce the risk of kernel heap
overflows being able to overwrite objects from merged caches and changes
the requirements for cache layout control, increasing the difficulty of
these attacks.  By keeping caches unmerged, these kinds of exploits can
usually only damage objects in the same cache (though the risk to
metadata exploitation is unchanged).

Paul E. McKenney 5f0d5a3ae7 mm: Rename SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU
A group of Linux kernel hackers reported chasing a bug that resulted
from their assumption that SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU provided an existence
guarantee, that is, that no block from such a slab would be reallocated
during an RCU read-side critical section.  Of course, that is not the
case.  Instead, SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU only prevents freeing of an entire
slab of blocks.

However, there is a phrase for this, namely "type safety".  This commit
therefore renames SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU in order
to avoid future instances of this sort of confusion.

Greg Thelen f9fa1d919c kasan: drain quarantine of memcg slab objects
Per memcg slab accounting and kasan have a problem with kmem_cache
destruction.
 - kmem_cache_create() allocates a kmem_cache, which is used for
   allocations from processes running in root (top) memcg.
 - Processes running in non root memcg and allocating with either
   __GFP_ACCOUNT or from a SLAB_ACCOUNT cache use a per memcg
   kmem_cache.
 - Kasan catches use-after-free by having kfree() and kmem_cache_free()
   defer freeing of objects. Objects are placed in a quarantine.
 - kmem_cache_destroy() destroys root and non root kmem_caches. It takes
   care to drain the quarantine of objects from the root memcg's
   kmem_cache, but ignores objects associated with non root memcg. This
   causes leaks because quarantined per memcg objects refer to per memcg
   kmem cache being destroyed.

To see the problem:

 1) create a slab cache with kmem_cache_create(,,,SLAB_ACCOUNT,)
 2) from non root memcg, allocate and free a few objects from cache
 3) dispose of the cache with kmem_cache_destroy() kmem_cache_destroy()
    will trigger a "Slab cache still has objects" warning indicating
    that the per memcg kmem_cache structure was leaked.

Fix the leak by draining kasan quarantined objects allocated from non
root memcg.

Racing memcg deletion is tricky, but handled.  kmem_cache_destroy() =>
shutdown_memcg_caches() => __shutdown_memcg_cache() => shutdown_cache()
flushes per memcg quarantined objects, even if that memcg has been
rmdir'd and gone through memcg_deactivate_kmem_caches().

This leak only affects destroyed SLAB_ACCOUNT kmem caches when kasan is
enabled.  So I don't think it's worth patching stable kernels.

Tejun Heo 17cc4dfeda slab: use memcg_kmem_cache_wq for slab destruction operations
If there's contention on slab_mutex, queueing the per-cache destruction
work item on the system_wq can unnecessarily create and tie up a lot of
kworkers.

Rename memcg_kmem_cache_create_wq to memcg_kmem_cache_wq and make it
global and use that workqueue for the destruction work items too.  While
at it, convert the workqueue from an unbound workqueue to a per-cpu one
with concurrency limited to 1.  It's generally preferable to use per-cpu
workqueues and concurrency limit of 1 is safe enough.

This is suggested by Joonsoo Kim.

Tejun Heo 01fb58bcba slab: remove synchronous synchronize_sched() from memcg cache deactivation path
With kmem cgroup support enabled, kmem_caches can be created and
destroyed frequently and a great number of near empty kmem_caches can
accumulate if there are a lot of transient cgroups and the system is not
under memory pressure.  When memory reclaim starts under such
conditions, it can lead to consecutive deactivation and destruction of
many kmem_caches, easily hundreds of thousands on moderately large
systems, exposing scalability issues in the current slab management
code.  This is one of the patches to address the issue.

slub uses synchronize_sched() to deactivate a memcg cache.
synchronize_sched() is an expensive and slow operation and doesn't scale
when a huge number of caches are destroyed back-to-back.  While there
used to be a simple batching mechanism, the batching was too restricted
to be helpful.

This patch implements slab_deactivate_memcg_cache_rcu_sched() which slub
can use to schedule sched RCU callback instead of performing
synchronize_sched() synchronously while holding cgroup_mutex.  While
this adds online cpus, mems and slab_mutex operations, operating on
these locks back-to-back from the same kworker, which is what's gonna
happen when there are many to deactivate, isn't expensive at all and
this gets rid of the scalability problem completely.
