3f2b77e35a mm, slub: validate slab from partial list or page allocator before making it cpu slab
When we obtain a new slab page from node partial list or page allocator, we
assign it to kmem_cache_cpu, perform some checks, and if they fail, we undo
the assignment.

In order to allow doing the checks without irq disabled, restructure the code
so that the checks are done first, and kmem_cache_cpu.page assignment only
after they pass.

6c1dbb674c mm, slub: restore irqs around calling new_slab()
allocate_slab() currently re-enables irqs before calling to the page allocator.
It depends on gfpflags_allow_blocking() to determine if it's safe to do so.
Now we can instead simply restore irq before calling it through new_slab().
The other caller early_kmem_cache_node_alloc() is unaffected by this.

fa417ab750 mm, slub: move disabling irqs closer to get_partial() in ___slab_alloc()
Continue reducing the irq disabled scope. Check for per-cpu partial slabs with
first with irqs enabled and then recheck with irqs disabled before grabbing
the slab page. Mostly preparatory for the following patches.

0b303fb402 mm, slub: do initial checks in ___slab_alloc() with irqs enabled
As another step of shortening irq disabled sections in ___slab_alloc(), delay
disabling irqs until we pass the initial checks if there is a cached percpu
slab and it's suitable for our allocation.

Now we have to recheck c->page after actually disabling irqs as an allocation
in irq handler might have replaced it.

Because we call pfmemalloc_match() as one of the checks, we might hit
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageSlab(page)) in PageSlabPfmemalloc in case we get
interrupted and the page is freed. Thus introduce a pfmemalloc_match_unsafe()
variant that lacks the PageSlab check.

e500059ba5 mm, slub: move disabling/enabling irqs to ___slab_alloc()
Currently __slab_alloc() disables irqs around the whole ___slab_alloc().  This
includes cases where this is not needed, such as when the allocation ends up in
the page allocator and has to awkwardly enable irqs back based on gfp flags.
Also the whole kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() is executed with irqs disabled even when
it hits the __slab_alloc() slow path, and long periods with disabled interrupts
are undesirable.

As a first step towards reducing irq disabled periods, move irq handling into
___slab_alloc(). Callers will instead prevent the s->cpu_slab percpu pointer
from becoming invalid via get_cpu_ptr(), thus preempt_disable(). This does not
protect against modification by an irq handler, which is still done by disabled
irq for most of ___slab_alloc(). As a small immediate benefit,
slab_out_of_memory() from ___slab_alloc() is now called with irqs enabled.

kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() disables irqs for its fastpath and then re-enables them
before calling ___slab_alloc(), which then disables them at its discretion. The
whole kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() operation also disables preemption.

When  ___slab_alloc() calls new_slab() to allocate a new page, re-enable
preemption, because new_slab() will re-enable interrupts in contexts that allow
blocking (this will be improved by later patches).

The patch itself will thus increase overhead a bit due to disabled preemption
(on configs where it matters) and increased disabling/enabling irqs in
kmem_cache_alloc_bulk(), but that will be gradually improved in the following
patches.

Note in __slab_alloc() we need to change the #ifdef CONFIG_PREEMPT guard to
CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT to make sure preempt disable/enable is properly paired in
all configurations. On configs without involuntary preemption and debugging
the re-read of kmem_cache_cpu pointer is still compiled out as it was before.

9b4bc85a69 mm, slub: simplify kmem_cache_cpu and tid setup
In slab_alloc_node() and do_slab_free() fastpaths we need to guarantee that
our kmem_cache_cpu pointer is from the same cpu as the tid value. Currently
that's done by reading the tid first using this_cpu_read(), then the
kmem_cache_cpu pointer and verifying we read the same tid using the pointer and
plain READ_ONCE().

This can be simplified to just fetching kmem_cache_cpu pointer and then reading
tid using the pointer. That guarantees they are from the same cpu. We don't
need to read the tid using this_cpu_read() because the value will be validated
by this_cpu_cmpxchg_double(), making sure we are on the correct cpu and the
freelist didn't change by anyone preempting us since reading the tid.

1572df7cbc mm, slub: restructure new page checks in ___slab_alloc()
When we allocate slab object from a newly acquired page (from node's partial
list or page allocator), we usually also retain the page as a new percpu slab.
There are two exceptions - when pfmemalloc status of the page doesn't match our
gfp flags, or when the cache has debugging enabled.

The current code for these decisions is not easy to follow, so restructure it
and add comments. The new structure will also help with the following changes.
No functional change.

75c8ff281d mm, slub: return slab page from get_partial() and set c->page afterwards
The function get_partial() finds a suitable page on a partial list, acquires
and returns its freelist and assigns the page pointer to kmem_cache_cpu.
In later patch we will need more control over the kmem_cache_cpu.page
assignment, so instead of passing a kmem_cache_cpu pointer, pass a pointer to a
pointer to a page that get_partial() can fill and the caller can assign the
kmem_cache_cpu.page pointer. No functional change as all of this still happens
with disabled IRQs.

53a0de06e5 mm, slub: dissolve new_slab_objects() into ___slab_alloc()
The later patches will need more fine grained control over individual actions
in ___slab_alloc(), the only caller of new_slab_objects(), so dissolve it
there. This is a preparatory step with no functional change.

The only minor change is moving WARN_ON_ONCE() for using a constructor together
with __GFP_ZERO to new_slab(), which makes it somewhat less frequent, but still
able to catch a development change introducing a systematic misuse.

976b805c78 mm, slub: remove redundant unfreeze_partials() from put_cpu_partial()
Commit d6e0b7fa11 ("slub: make dead caches discard free slabs immediately")
introduced cpu partial flushing for kmemcg caches, based on setting the target
cpu_partial to 0 and adding a flushing check in put_cpu_partial().
This code that sets cpu_partial to 0 was later moved by c9fc586403 ("slab:
introduce __kmemcg_cache_deactivate()") and ultimately removed by 9855609bde
("mm: memcg/slab: use a single set of kmem_caches for all accounted
allocations"). However the check and flush in put_cpu_partial() was never
removed, although it's effectively a dead code. So this patch removes it.

Note that d6e0b7fa11 also added preempt_disable()/enable() to
unfreeze_partials() which could be thus also considered unnecessary. But
further patches will rely on it, so keep it.

b3fd64e145 mm, slub: allocate private object map for debugfs listings
Slub has a static spinlock protected bitmap for marking which objects are on
freelist when it wants to list them, for situations where dynamically
allocating such map can lead to recursion or locking issues, and on-stack
bitmap would be too large.

The handlers of debugfs files alloc_traces and free_traces also currently use this
shared bitmap, but their syscall context makes it straightforward to allocate a
private map before entering locked sections, so switch these processing paths
to use a private bitmap.

a7f1d48585 mm: slub: fix slub_debug disabling for list of slabs
Vijayanand Jitta reports:

  Consider the scenario where CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON is set and we would
  want to disable slub_debug for few slabs. Using boot parameter with
  slub_debug=-,slab_name syntax doesn't work as expected i.e; only
  disabling debugging for the specified list of slabs. Instead it
  disables debugging for all slabs, which is wrong.

This patch fixes it by delaying the moment when the global slub_debug
flags variable is updated.  In case a "slub_debug=-,slab_name" has been
passed, the global flags remain as initialized (depending on
CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON enabled or disabled) and are not simply reset to 0.

1ed7ce574c slub: fix kmalloc_pagealloc_invalid_free unit test
The unit test kmalloc_pagealloc_invalid_free makes sure that for the
higher order slub allocation which goes to page allocator, the free is
called with the correct address i.e.  the virtual address of the head
page.

Commit f227f0faf6 ("slub: fix unreclaimable slab stat for bulk free")
unified the free code paths for page allocator based slub allocations
but instead of using the address passed by the caller, it extracted the
address from the page.  Thus making the unit test
kmalloc_pagealloc_invalid_free moot.  So, fix this by using the address
passed by the caller.

Should we fix this? I think yes because dev expect kasan to catch these
type of programming bugs.

ae14c63a9f Revert "mm/slub: use stackdepot to save stack trace in objects"
This reverts commit 788691464c.

It's not clear why, but it causes unexplained problems in entirely
unrelated xfs code.  The most likely explanation is some slab
corruption, possibly triggered due to CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON.  See [1].

It ends up having a few other problems too, like build errors on
arch/arc, and Geert reporting it using much more memory on m68k [3] (it
probably does so elsewhere too, but it is probably just more noticeable
on m68k).

The architecture issues (both build and memory use) are likely just
because this change effectively force-enabled STACKDEPOT (along with a
very bad default value for the stackdepot hash size).  But together with
the xfs issue, this all smells like "this commit was not ready" to me.

Stackdepot saves each unique stack only once.

Replace field addrs in struct track with depot_stack_handle_t handle.  Use
stackdepot to save stack trace.

The benefits are smaller memory overhead and possibility to aggregate
per-cache statistics in the future using the stackdepot handle instead of
matching stacks manually.

65ebdeef10 mm/slub: add taint after the errors are printed
When running the kernel with panic_on_taint, the usual slub debug error
messages are not being printed when object corruption happens.  That's
because we panic in add_taint(), which is called before printing the
additional information.  This is a bit unfortunate as the error messages
are actually very useful, especially before a panic.  Let's fix this by
moving add_taint() after the errors are printed on the console.

792702911f slub: force on no_hash_pointers when slub_debug is enabled
Obscuring the pointers that slub shows when debugging makes for some
confusing slub debug messages:

 Padding overwritten. 0x0000000079f0674a-0x000000000d4dce17

Those addresses are hashed for kernel security reasons.  If we're trying
to be secure with slub_debug on the commandline we have some big problems
given that we dump whole chunks of kernel memory to the kernel logs.
Let's force on the no_hash_pointers commandline flag when slub_debug is on
the commandline.  This makes slub debug messages more meaningful and if by
chance a kernel address is in some slub debug object dump we will have a
better chance of figuring out what went wrong.

Note that we don't use %px in the slub code because we want to reduce the
number of places that %px is used in the kernel.  This also nicely prints
a big fat warning at kernel boot if slub_debug is on the commandline so
that we know that this kernel shouldn't be used on production systems.

02ac47d0cd slub: restore slub_debug=- behavior
Petch series "slub: Print non-hashed pointers in slub debugging", v3.

I was doing some debugging recently and noticed that my pointers were
being hashed while slub_debug was on the kernel commandline.  Let's force
on the no hash pointer option when slub_debug is on the kernel commandline
so that the prints are more meaningful.

The first two patches are something else I noticed while looking at the
code.  The message argument is never used so the debugging messages are
not as clear as they could be and the slub_debug=- behavior seems to be
busted.  Then there's a printf fixup from Joe and the final patch is the
one that force disables pointer hashing.

This patch (of 4):

Passing slub_debug=- on the kernel commandline is supposed to disable slub
debugging.  This is especially useful with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON where the
default is to have slub debugging enabled in the build.  Due to some code
reorganization this behavior was dropped, but the code to make it work
mostly stuck around.  Restore the previous behavior by disabling the
static key when we parse the commandline and see that we're trying to
disable slub debugging.

1f9f78b1b3 mm/slub, kunit: add a KUnit test for SLUB debugging functionality
SLUB has resiliency_test() function which is hidden behind #ifdef
SLUB_RESILIENCY_TEST that is not part of Kconfig, so nobody runs it.
KUnit should be a proper replacement for it.

Try changing byte in redzone after allocation and changing pointer to next
free node, first byte, 50th byte and redzone byte.  Check if validation
finds errors.

There are several differences from the original resiliency test: Tests
create own caches with known state instead of corrupting shared kmalloc
caches.

The corruption of freepointer uses correct offset, the original resiliency
test got broken with freepointer changes.

Scratch changing random byte test, because it does not have meaning in
this form where we need deterministic results.

Add new option CONFIG_SLUB_KUNIT_TEST in Kconfig.  Tests next_pointer,
first_word and clobber_50th_byte do not run with KASAN option on.  Because
the test deliberately modifies non-allocated objects.

Use kunit_resource to count errors in cache and silence bug reports.
Count error whenever slab_bug() or slab_fix() is called or when the count
of pages is wrong.

e41a49fadb mm/slub: actually fix freelist pointer vs redzoning
It turns out that SLUB redzoning ("slub_debug=Z") checks from
s->object_size rather than from s->inuse (which is normally bumped to
make room for the freelist pointer), so a cache created with an object
size less than 24 would have the freelist pointer written beyond
s->object_size, causing the redzone to be corrupted by the freelist
pointer.  This was very visible with "slub_debug=ZF":

74c1d3e081 mm/slub: fix redzoning for small allocations
The redzone area for SLUB exists between s->object_size and s->inuse
(which is at least the word-aligned object_size).  If a cache were
created with an object_size smaller than sizeof(void *), the in-object
stored freelist pointer would overwrite the redzone (e.g.  with boot
param "slub_debug=ZF"):

Store the freelist pointer out of line when object_size is smaller than
sizeof(void *) and redzoning is enabled.

Additionally remove the "smaller than sizeof(void *)" check under
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM in kmem_cache_sanity_check() as it is now redundant:
SLAB and SLOB both handle small sizes.

(Note that no caches within this size range are known to exist in the
kernel currently.)

8669dbab2a mm/slub: clarify verification reporting
Patch series "Actually fix freelist pointer vs redzoning", v4.

This fixes redzoning vs the freelist pointer (both for middle-position
and very small caches).  Both are "theoretical" fixes, in that I see no
evidence of such small-sized caches actually be used in the kernel, but
that's no reason to let the bugs continue to exist, especially since
people doing local development keep tripping over it.  :)

This patch (of 3):

Instead of repeating "Redzone" and "Poison", clarify which sides of
those zones got tripped.  Additionally fix column alignment in the
trailer.

Before:

  Padding (____ptrval____): 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00      ........

This is because there's one order of locking from the hotplug callbacks:

lock(cpu_hotplug_lock); // from hotplug machinery itself
lock(slab_mutex); // in e.g. slab_mem_going_offline_callback()

And commit 1f0723a4c0 made the reverse sequence possible:
lock(slab_mutex); // in kmem_cache_create_usercopy()
lock(cpu_hotplug_lock); // kmem_cache_open() -> static_key_enable()

The simplest fix is to move static_key_enable() to a place before slab_mutex is
taken. That means kmem_cache_create_usercopy() in mm/slab_common.c which is not
ideal for SLUB-specific code, but the #ifdef CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG makes it
at least self-contained and obvious.

0cbc124bce mm/slub: Fix backtrace of objects to handle redzone adjustment
This commit fixes commit 8e7f37f2aa ("mm: Add mem_dump_obj() to print
source of memory block").

With current code, the backtrace of allocated object is incorrect:
/ # cat /proc/meminfo
[   14.969843]  slab kmalloc-64 start c8ab0140 data offset 64 pointer offset 0 size 64 allocated at 0x6b6b6b6b

[   14.972734]     0xc8ab0400
[   14.972891]     meminfo_proc_show+0x40/0x4fc

The reason is that the object address was not adjusted for the red zone.
With this fix, the backtrace is correct:

d57a964e09 kasan, mm: integrate slab init_on_free with HW_TAGS
This change uses the previously added memory initialization feature of
HW_TAGS KASAN routines for slab memory when init_on_free is enabled.

With this change, memory initialization memset() is no longer called when
both HW_TAGS KASAN and init_on_free are enabled.  Instead, memory is
initialized in KASAN runtime.

For SLUB, the memory initialization memset() is moved into
slab_free_hook() that currently directly follows the initialization loop.
A new argument is added to slab_free_hook() that indicates whether to
initialize the memory or not.

To avoid discrepancies with which memory gets initialized that can be
caused by future changes, both KASAN hook and initialization memset() are
put together and a warning comment is added.

Combining setting allocation tags with memory initialization improves
HW_TAGS KASAN performance when init_on_free is enabled.

1f0723a4c0 mm, slub: enable slub_debug static key when creating cache with explicit debug flags
Commit ca0cab65ea ("mm, slub: introduce static key for slub_debug()")
introduced a static key to optimize the case where no debugging is
enabled for any cache.  The static key is enabled when slub_debug boot
parameter is passed, or CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON enabled.

However, some caches might be created with one or more debugging flags
explicitly passed to kmem_cache_create(), and the commit missed this.
Thus the debugging functionality would not be actually performed for
these caches unless the static key gets enabled by boot param or config.

This patch fixes it by checking for debugging flags passed to
kmem_cache_create() and enabling the static key accordingly.

Note such explicit debugging flags should not be used outside of
debugging and testing as they will now enable the static key globally.
btrfs_init_cachep() creates a cache with SLAB_RED_ZONE but that's a
mistake that's being corrected [1].  rcu_torture_stats() creates a cache
with SLAB_STORE_USER, but that is a testing module so it's OK and will
start working as intended after this patch.

Also note that in case of backports to kernels before v5.12 that don't
have 59450bbc12 ("mm, slab, slub: stop taking cpu hotplug lock"),
static_branch_enable_cpuslocked() should be used.

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:

 - Stop synchronizing kernel log buffer readers by logbuf_lock. As a
   result, the access to the buffer is fully lockless now.

   Note that printk() itself still uses locks because it tries to flush
   the messages to the console immediately. Also the per-CPU temporary
   buffers are still there because they prevent infinite recursion and
   serialize backtraces from NMI. All this is going to change in the
   future.

 - kmsg_dump API rework and cleanup as a side effect of the logbuf_lock
   removal.

 - Make bstr_printf() aware that %pf and %pF formats could deference the
   given pointer.

 - Show also page flags by %pGp format.

 - Clarify the documentation for plain pointer printing.

 - Do not show no_hash_pointers warning multiple times.

 - Update Senozhatsky email address.

 - Some clean up.

96b94abc12 mm, slub: don't combine pr_err with INFO
It is strange to combine "pr_err" with "INFO", so let's remove the
prefix completely.
This patch is motivated by David's comment[1].

4a8ef190c1 mm, slub: use pGp to print page flags
As pGp has been already introduced in printk, we'd better use it to make
the output human readable.

Before this change, the output is,

Linus Torvalds
9b1ea29bc0 Revert "mm, slub: consider rest of partial list if acquire_slab() fails"
This reverts commit 8ff60eb052.

The kernel test robot reports a huge performance regression due to the
commit, and the reason seems fairly straightforward: when there is
contention on the page list (which is what causes acquire_slab() to
fail), we do _not_ want to just loop and try again, because that will
transfer the contention to the 'n->list_lock' spinlock we hold, and
just make things even worse.

This is admittedly likely a problem only on big machines - the kernel
test robot report comes from a 96-thread dual socket Intel Xeon Gold
6252 setup, but the regression there really is quite noticeable:

   -47.9% regression of stress-ng.rawpkt.ops_per_sec

and the commit that was marked as being fixed (7ced371971: "slub:
Acquire_slab() avoid loop") actually did the loop exit early very
intentionally (the hint being that "avoid loop" part of that commit
message), exactly to avoid this issue.

The correct thing to do may be to pick some kind of reasonable middle
ground: instead of breaking out of the loop on the very first sign of
contention, or trying over and over and over again, the right thing may
be to re-try _once_, and then give up on the second failure (or pick
your favorite value for "once"..).
