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.

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.

An object constructor can initialize pointers within this objects based on
the address of the object. Since the object address might be tagged, we
need to assign a tag before calling constructor.
The implemented approach is to assign tags to objects with constructors
when a slab is allocated and call constructors once as usual. The
downside is that such object would always have the same tag when it is
reallocated, so we won't catch use-after-frees on it.
Also pressign tags for objects from SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU caches, since
they can be validy accessed after having been freed.

This commit splits the current CONFIG_KASAN config option into two:
1. CONFIG_KASAN_GENERIC, that enables the generic KASAN mode (the one
that exists now);
2. CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS, that enables the software tag-based KASAN mode.
The name CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS is chosen as in the future we will have
another hardware tag-based KASAN mode, that will rely on hardware memory
tagging support in arm64.
With CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS enabled, compiler options are changed to
instrument kernel files with -fsantize=kernel-hwaddress (except the ones
for which KASAN_SANITIZE := n is set).
Both CONFIG_KASAN_GENERIC and CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS support both
CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE and CONFIG_KASAN_OUTLINE instrumentation modes.
This commit also adds empty placeholder (for now) implementation of
tag-based KASAN specific hooks inserted by the compiler and adjusts
common hooks implementation.
While this commit adds the CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS config option, this option
is not selectable, as it depends on HAVE_ARCH_KASAN_SW_TAGS, which we will
enable once all the infrastracture code has been added.

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.

[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.

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:

Slab: 18368 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.

In SLUB, prefetch_freepointer() is used when allocating an object from
cache's freelist, to make sure the next object in the list is cache-hot,
since it's probable it will be allocated soon.
Commit 2482ddec67 ("mm: add SLUB free list pointer obfuscation") has
unintentionally changed the prefetch in a way where the prefetch is
turned to a real fetch, and only the next->next pointer is prefetched.
In case there is not a stream of allocations that would benefit from
prefetching, the extra real fetch might add a useless cache miss to the
allocation. Restore the previous behavior.

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.

The obsolete comment removed in this patch was introduced by
51df114281 ("slub: Dynamically size kmalloc cache allocations").
I paste related modification from that commit:
+#ifdef CONFIG_NUMA
+ /*
+ * Allocate kmem_cache_node properly from the kmem_cache slab.
+ * kmem_cache_node is separately allocated so no need to
+ * update any list pointers.
+ */
+ temp_kmem_cache_node = kmem_cache_node;
+ kmem_cache_node = kmem_cache_alloc(kmem_cache, GFP_NOWAIT);
+ memcpy(kmem_cache_node, temp_kmem_cache_node, kmem_size);
+
+ kmem_cache_bootstrap_fixup(kmem_cache_node);
+
+ caches++;
+#else
+ /*
+ * kmem_cache has kmem_cache_node embedded and we moved it!
+ * Update the list heads
+ */
+ INIT_LIST_HEAD(&kmem_cache->local_node.partial);
+ list_splice(&temp_kmem_cache->local_node.partial, &kmem_cache->local_node.partial);
+#ifdef CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG
+ INIT_LIST_HEAD(&kmem_cache->local_node.full);
+ list_splice(&temp_kmem_cache->local_node.full, &kmem_cache->local_node.full);
+#endif
As we can see there're used to distinguish the difference handling
between NUMA/non-NUMA configuration in the original commit. I think it
doesn't make any sense in current implementation which is placed above
kmem_cache_node = bootstrap(&boot_kmem_cache_node); So maybe it's better
to remove them now?

The kasan_slab_free hook's return value denotes whether the reuse of a
slab object must be delayed (e.g. when the object is put into memory
qurantine).
The current way SLUB handles this hook is by ignoring its return value
and hardcoding checks similar (but not exactly the same) to the ones
performed in kasan_slab_free, which is prone to making mistakes.
The main difference between the hardcoded checks and the ones in
kasan_slab_free is whether we want to perform a free in case when an
invalid-free or a double-free was detected (we don't).
This patch changes the way SLUB handles this by:
1. taking into account the return value of kasan_slab_free for each of
the objects, that are being freed;
2. reconstructing the freelist of objects to exclude the ones, whose
reuse must be delayed.

The kasan quarantine is designed to delay freeing slab objects to catch
use-after-free. The quarantine can be large (several percent of machine
memory size). When kmem_caches are deleted related objects are flushed
from the quarantine but this requires scanning the entire quarantine
which can be very slow. We have seen the kernel busily working on this
while holding slab_mutex and badly affecting cache_reaper, slabinfo
readers and memcg kmem cache creations.
It can easily reproduced by following script:
yes . | head -1000000 | xargs stat > /dev/null
for i in `seq 1 10`; do
seq 500 | (cd /cg/memory && xargs mkdir)
seq 500 | xargs -I{} sh -c 'echo $BASHPID > \
/cg/memory/{}/tasks && exec stat .' > /dev/null
seq 500 | (cd /cg/memory && xargs rmdir)
done
The busy stack:
kasan_cache_shutdown
shutdown_cache
memcg_destroy_kmem_caches
mem_cgroup_css_free
css_free_rwork_fn
process_one_work
worker_thread
kthread
ret_from_fork
This patch is based on the observation that if the kmem_cache to be
destroyed is empty then there should not be any objects of this cache in
the quarantine.
Without the patch the script got stuck for couple of hours. With the
patch the script completed within a second.

struct kmem_cache::size and ::align were always 32-bit.
Out of curiosity I created 4GB kmem_cache, it oopsed with division by 0.
kmem_cache_create(1UL<<32+1) created 1-byte cache as expected.
size_t doesn't work and never did.

When SLUB_DEBUG catches some issues, it prints all the required debug
info. However, in a few cases where allocation and free of the object
has happened in a very short time, 'age' might be misleading. See the
example below:
=============================================================================
BUG kmalloc-256 (Tainted: G W O ): Poison overwritten
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
...
INFO: Allocated in binder_transaction+0x4b0/0x2448 age=731 cpu=3 pid=5314
...
INFO: Freed in binder_free_transaction+0x2c/0x58 age=735 cpu=6 pid=2079
...
Object fffffff14956a870: 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 67 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b a5 kkkkkkkkgkkkk
In this case, object got freed later but 'age' shows otherwise. This
could be because, while printing this info, we print allocation traces
first and free traces thereafter. In between, if we get schedule out or
jiffies increment, (jiffies - t->when) could become meaningless.
Use the jitter free reference to calculate age.
New output will exactly be same. 'age' is still staying with single
jiffies ref in both prints.

Patch series "kasan: detect invalid frees".
KASAN detects double-frees, but does not detect invalid-frees (when a
pointer into a middle of heap object is passed to free). We recently had
a very unpleasant case in crypto code which freed an inner object inside
of a heap allocation. This left unnoticed during free, but totally
corrupted heap and later lead to a bunch of random crashes all over kernel
code.
Detect invalid frees.
This patch (of 5):
Detect frees of pointers into middle of large heap objects.
I dropped const from kasan_kfree_large() because it starts propagating
through a bunch of functions in kasan_report.c, slab/slub nearest_obj(),
all of their local variables, fixup_red_left(), etc.

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.

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:

This refactors the hardened usercopy code so that failure reporting can
happen within the checking functions instead of at the top level. This
simplifies the return value handling and allows more details and offsets
to be included in the report. Having the offset can be much more helpful
in understanding hardened usercopy bugs.

Patch series "kmemcheck: kill kmemcheck", v2.
As discussed at LSF/MM, kill kmemcheck.
KASan is a replacement that is able to work without the limitation of
kmemcheck (single CPU, slow). KASan is already upstream.
We are also not aware of any users of kmemcheck (or users who don't
consider KASan as a suitable replacement).
The only objection was that since KASAN wasn't supported by all GCC
versions provided by distros at that time we should hold off for 2
years, and try again.
Now that 2 years have passed, and all distros provide gcc that supports
KASAN, kill kmemcheck again for the very same reasons.
This patch (of 4):
Remove kmemcheck annotations, and calls to kmemcheck from the kernel.

When slub_debug=O is set. It is possible to clear debug flags for an
"unmergeable" slab cache in kmem_cache_open(). It makes the "unmergeable"
cache became "mergeable" in sysfs_slab_add().
These caches will generate their "unique IDs" by create_unique_id(), but
it is possible to create identical unique IDs. In my experiment,
sgpool-128, names_cache, biovec-256 generate the same ID ":Ft-0004096" and
the kernel reports "sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename
'/kernel/slab/:Ft-0004096'".
To repeat my experiment, set disable_higher_order_debug=1,
CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON=y in kernel-4.14.
Fix this issue by setting unmergeable=1 if slub_debug=O and the the
default slub_debug contains any no-merge flags.

kmem_cache_create()
__kmem_cache_alias() -> we set SLAB_NEVER_MERGE flags here

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.

GFP_TEMPORARY was introduced by commit e12ba74d8f ("Group short-lived
and reclaimable kernel allocations") along with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE. It's
primary motivation was to allow users to tell that an allocation is
short lived and so the allocator can try to place such allocations close
together and prevent long term fragmentation. As much as this sounds
like a reasonable semantic it becomes much less clear when to use the
highlevel GFP_TEMPORARY allocation flag. How long is temporary? Can the
context holding that memory sleep? Can it take locks? It seems there is
no good answer for those questions.
The current implementation of GFP_TEMPORARY is basically GFP_KERNEL |
__GFP_RECLAIMABLE which in itself is tricky because basically none of
the existing caller provide a way to reclaim the allocated memory. So
this is rather misleading and hard to evaluate for any benefits.
I have checked some random users and none of them has added the flag
with a specific justification. I suspect most of them just copied from
other existing users and others just thought it might be a good idea to
use without any measuring. This suggests that GFP_TEMPORARY just
motivates for cargo cult usage without any reasoning.
I believe that our gfp flags are quite complex already and especially
those with highlevel semantic should be clearly defined to prevent from
confusion and abuse. Therefore I propose dropping GFP_TEMPORARY and
replace all existing users to simply use GFP_KERNEL. Please note that
SLAB users with shrinkers will still get __GFP_RECLAIMABLE heuristic and
so they will be placed properly for memory fragmentation prevention.
I can see reasons we might want some gfp flag to reflect shorterm
allocations but I propose starting from a clear semantic definition and
only then add users with proper justification.
This was been brought up before LSF this year by Matthew [1] and it
turned out that GFP_TEMPORARY really doesn't have a clear semantic. It
seems to be a heuristic without any measured advantage for most (if not
all) its current users. The follow up discussion has revealed that
opinions on what might be temporary allocation differ a lot between
developers. So rather than trying to tweak existing users into a
semantic which they haven't expected I propose to simply remove the flag
and start from scratch if we really need a semantic for short term
allocations.

First, number of CPUs can't be negative number.
Second, different signnnedness leads to suboptimal code in the following
cases:
1)
kmalloc(nr_cpu_ids * sizeof(X));
"int" has to be sign extended to size_t.
2)
while (loff_t *pos < nr_cpu_ids)
MOVSXD is 1 byte longed than the same MOV.
Other cases exist as well. Basically compiler is told that nr_cpu_ids
can't be negative which can't be deduced if it is "int".

This SLUB free list pointer obfuscation code is modified from Brad
Spengler/PaX Team's 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.
This adds a per-cache random value to SLUB caches that is XORed with
their freelist pointer address and value. This adds nearly zero
overhead and frustrates the very common heap overflow exploitation
method of overwriting freelist pointers.
A recent example of the attack is written up here:
http://cyseclabs.com/blog/cve-2016-6187-heap-off-by-one-exploit
and there is a section dedicated to the technique the book "A Guide to
Kernel Exploitation: Attacking the Core".
This is based on patches by Daniel Micay, and refactored to minimize the
use of #ifdef.
With 200-count cycles of "hackbench -g 20 -l 1000" I saw the following
run times:
before:
mean 10.11882499999999999995
variance .03320378329145728642
stdev .18221905304181911048
after:
mean 10.12654000000000000014
variance .04700556623115577889
stdev .21680767106160192064
The difference gets lost in the noise, but if the above is to be taken
literally, using CONFIG_FREELIST_HARDENED is 0.07% slower.

- init_kmem_cache_nodes() publishes the cache node before initializing

Neither of these matter at runtime because the cache nodes cannot be

To avoid a possible deadlock, sysfs_slab_remove() schedules an
asynchronous work to delete sysfs entries corresponding to the kmem
cache. To ensure the cache isn't freed before the work function is
called, it takes a reference to the cache kobject. The reference is
supposed to be released by the work function.
However, the work function (sysfs_slab_remove_workfn()) does nothing in
case the cache sysfs entry has already been deleted, leaking the kobject
and the corresponding cache.
This may happen on a per memcg cache destruction, because sysfs entries
of a per memcg cache are deleted on memcg offline if the cache is empty
(see __kmemcg_cache_deactivate()).
The kmemleak report looks like this:

Patch series "mm: per-lruvec slab stats"
Josef is working on a new approach to balancing slab caches and the page
cache. For this to work, he needs slab cache statistics on the lruvec
level. These patches implement that by adding infrastructure that
allows updating and reading generic VM stat items per lruvec, then
switches some existing VM accounting sites, including the slab
accounting ones, to this new cgroup-aware API.
I'll follow up with more patches on this, because there is actually
substantial simplification that can be done to the memory controller
when we replace private memcg accounting with making the existing VM
accounting sites cgroup-aware. But this is enough for Josef to base his
slab reclaim work on, so here goes.
This patch (of 5):
To re-implement slab cache vs. page cache balancing, we'll need the
slab counters at the lruvec level, which, ever since lru reclaim was
moved from the zone to the node, is the intersection of the node, not
the zone, and the memcg.
We could retain the per-zone counters for when the page allocator dumps
its memory information on failures, and have counters on both levels -
which on all but NUMA node 0 is usually redundant. But let's keep it
simple for now and just move them. If anybody complains we can restore
the per-zone counters.

Commit bf5eb3de38 ("slub: separate out sysfs_slab_release() from
sysfs_slab_remove()") made slub sysfs file removals synchronous to
kmem_cache shutdown.
Unfortunately, this created a possible ABBA deadlock between slab_mutex
and sysfs draining mechanism triggering the following lockdep warning.

It'd be the cleanest to deal with the issue by removing sysfs files
without holding slab_mutex before the rest of shutdown; however, given
the current code structure, it is pretty difficult to do so.
This patch punts sysfs file removal to a work item. Before commit
bf5eb3de38, the removal was punted to a RCU delayed work item which is
executed after release. Now, we're punting to a different work item on
shutdown which still maintains the goal removing the sysfs files earlier
when destroying kmem_caches.

memcg_propagate_slab_attrs() abuses the sysfs attribute file functions
to propagate settings from the root kmem_cache to a newly created
kmem_cache. It does that with:
attr->show(root, buf);
attr->store(new, buf, strlen(bug);
Aside of being a lazy and absurd hackery this is broken because it does
not check the return value of the show() function.
Some of the show() functions return 0 w/o touching the buffer. That
means in such a case the store function is called with the stale content
of the previous show(). That causes nonsense like invoking
kmem_cache_shrink() on a newly created kmem_cache. In the worst case it
would cause handing in an uninitialized buffer.
This should be rewritten proper by adding a propagate() callback to
those slub_attributes which must be propagated and avoid that insane
conversion to and from ASCII, but that's too large for a hot fix.
Check at least the return value of the show() function, so calling
store() with stale content is prevented.

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.

SLUB creates a per-cache directory under /sys/kernel/slab which hosts a
bunch of debug files. Usually, there aren't that many caches on a
system and this doesn't really matter; however, if memcg is in use, each
cache can have per-cgroup sub-caches. SLUB creates the same directories
for these sub-caches under /sys/kernel/slab/$CACHE/cgroup.
Unfortunately, because there can be a lot of cgroups, active or
draining, the product of the numbers of caches, cgroups and files in
each directory can reach a very high number - hundreds of thousands is
commonplace. Millions and beyond aren't difficult to reach either.
What's under /sys/kernel/slab is primarily for debugging and the
information and control on the a root cache already cover its
sub-caches. While having a separate directory for each sub-cache can be
helpful for development, it doesn't make much sense to pay this amount
of overhead by default.
This patch introduces a boot parameter slub_memcg_sysfs which determines
whether to create sysfs directories for per-memcg sub-caches. It also
adds CONFIG_SLUB_MEMCG_SYSFS_ON which determines the boot parameter's
default value and defaults to 0.

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.

__kmem_cache_shrink() is called with %true @deactivate only for memcg
caches. Remove @deactivate from __kmem_cache_shrink() and introduce
__kmemcg_cache_deactivate() instead. Each memcg-supporting allocator
should implement it and it should deactivate and drain the cache.
This is to allow memcg cache deactivation behavior to further deviate
from simple shrinking without messing up __kmem_cache_shrink().
This is pure reorganization and doesn't introduce any observable
behavior changes.

slab_caches currently lists all caches including root and memcg ones.
This is the only data structure which lists the root caches and
iterating root caches can only be done by walking the list while
skipping over memcg caches. As there can be a huge number of memcg
caches, this can become very expensive.
This also can make /proc/slabinfo behave very badly. seq_file processes
reads in 4k chunks and seeks to the previous Nth position on slab_caches
list to resume after each chunk. With a lot of memcg cache churns on
the list, reading /proc/slabinfo can become very slow and its content
often ends up with duplicate and/or missing entries.
This patch adds a new list slab_root_caches which lists only the root
caches. When memcg is not enabled, it becomes just an alias of
slab_caches. memcg specific list operations are collected into
memcg_[un]link_cache().

Separate out slub sysfs removal and release, and call the former earlier
from __kmem_cache_shutdown(). There's no reason to defer sysfs removal
through RCU and this will later allow us to remove sysfs files way
earlier during memory cgroup offline instead of release.

Patch series "slab: make memcg slab destruction scalable", v3.
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.
I've seen machines which end up with hundred thousands of caches and
many millions of kernfs_nodes. The current code is O(N^2) on the total
number of caches and has synchronous rcu_barrier() and
synchronize_sched() in cgroup offline / release path which is executed
while holding cgroup_mutex. Combined, this leads to very expensive and
slow cache destruction operations which can easily keep running for half
a day.
This also messes up /proc/slabinfo along with other cache iterating
operations. seq_file operates on 4k chunks and on each 4k boundary
tries to seek to the last position in the list. With a huge number of
caches on the list, this becomes very slow and very prone to the list
content changing underneath it leading to a lot of missing and/or
duplicate entries.
This patchset addresses the scalability problem.
* Add root and per-memcg lists. Update each user to use the
appropriate list.
* Make rcu_barrier() for SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU caches globally batched
and asynchronous.
* For dying empty slub caches, remove the sysfs files after
deactivation so that we don't end up with millions of sysfs files
without any useful information on them.
This patchset contains the following nine patches.

0002-slub-separate-out-sysfs_slab_release-from-sysfs_slab.patch

0001 reverts an existing optimization to prepare for the following
changes. 0002 is a prep patch. 0003 makes rcu_barrier() in release
path batched and asynchronous. 0004-0006 separate out the lists.
0007-0008 replace synchronize_sched() in slub destruction path with
call_rcu_sched(). 0009 removes sysfs files early for empty dying
caches. 0010 makes destruction work items use a workqueue with limited
concurrency.
This patch (of 10):
Revert 89e364db71 ("slub: move synchronize_sched out of slab_mutex on
shrink").
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.
Moving synchronize_sched() out of slab_mutex isn't enough as it's still
inside cgroup_mutex. The whole deactivation / release path will be
updated to avoid all synchronous RCU operations. Revert this insufficient
optimization in preparation to ease future changes.

initialisation as described in

Bail out early from init_cache_random_seq if s->random_seq is already
initialised. This prevents destroying the previously computed
random_seq offsets later in the function.
If the offsets are destroyed, then shuffle_freelist will truncate
page->freelist to just the first object (orphaning the rest).

Currently when trace is enabled (e.g. slub_debug=T,kmalloc-128 ) the
trace messages are mostly output at KERN_INFO. However the trace code
also calls print_section() to hexdump the head of a free object. This
is hard coded to use KERN_ERR, meaning the console is deluged with trace
messages even if we've asked for quiet.
Fix this the obvious way but adding a level parameter to
print_section(), allowing calls from the trace code to use the same
trace level as other trace messages.

The slub allocator gives us some incorrect warnings when
CONFIG_PROFILE_ANNOTATED_BRANCHES is set, as the unlikely() macro
prevents it from seeing that the return code matches what it was before:
mm/slub.c: In function `kmem_cache_free_bulk':
mm/slub.c:262:23: error: `df.s' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

mm/slub.c:2943:3: error: `df.tail' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
I have not been able to come up with a perfect way for dealing with
this, the three options I see are:
- add a bogus initialization, which would increase the runtime overhead
- replace unlikely() with unlikely_notrace()
- remove the unlikely() annotation completely
I checked the object code for a typical x86 configuration and the last
two cases produce the same result, so I went for the last one, which is
the simplest.

synchronize_sched() is a heavy operation and calling it per each cache
owned by a memory cgroup being destroyed may take quite some time. What
is worse, it's currently called under the slab_mutex, stalling all works
doing cache creation/destruction.
Actually, there isn't much point in calling synchronize_sched() for each
cache - it's enough to call it just once - after setting cpu_partial for
all caches and before shrinking them. This way, we can also move it out
of the slab_mutex, which we have to hold for iterating over the slab
cache list.

With debugobjects enabled and using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, when a
kmem_cache_node is destroyed the call_rcu() may trigger a slab
allocation to fill the debug object pool (__debug_object_init:fill_pool).
Everywhere but during kmem_cache_destroy(), discard_slab() is performed
outside of the kmem_cache_node->list_lock and avoids a lockdep warning
about potential recursion:

The state of object currently tracked in two places - shadow memory, and
the ->state field in struct kasan_alloc_meta. We can get rid of the
latter. The will save us a little bit of memory. Also, this allow us
to move free stack into struct kasan_alloc_meta, without increasing
memory consumption. So now we should always know when the last time the
object was freed. This may be useful for long delayed use-after-free
bugs.
As a side effect this fixes following UBSAN warning:

Currently, to charge a non-slab allocation to kmemcg one has to use
alloc_kmem_pages helper with __GFP_ACCOUNT flag. A page allocated with
this helper should finally be freed using free_kmem_pages, otherwise it
won't be uncharged.
This API suits its current users fine, but it turns out to be impossible
to use along with page reference counting, i.e. when an allocation is
supposed to be freed with put_page, as it is the case with pipe or unix
socket buffers.
To overcome this limitation, this patch moves charging/uncharging to
generic page allocator paths, i.e. to __alloc_pages_nodemask and
free_pages_prepare, and zaps alloc/free_kmem_pages helpers. This way,
one can use any of the available page allocation functions to get the
allocated page charged to kmemcg - it's enough to pass __GFP_ACCOUNT,
just like in case of kmalloc and friends. A charged page will be
automatically uncharged on free.
To make it possible, we need to mark pages charged to kmemcg somehow.
To avoid introducing a new page flag, we make use of page->_mapcount for
marking such pages. Since pages charged to kmemcg are not supposed to
be mapped to userspace, it should work just fine. There are other
(ab)users of page->_mapcount - buddy and balloon pages - but we don't
conflict with them.
In case kmemcg is compiled out or not used at runtime, this patch
introduces no overhead to generic page allocator paths. If kmemcg is
used, it will be plus one gfp flags check on alloc and plus one
page->_mapcount check on free, which shouldn't hurt performance, because
the data accessed are hot.

Both SLAB and SLUB BUG() when a caller provides an invalid gfp_mask.
This is a rather harsh way to announce a non-critical issue. Allocator
is free to ignore invalid flags. Let's simply replace BUG() by
dump_stack to tell the offender and fixup the mask to move on with the
allocation request.
This is an example for kmalloc(GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_HIGHMEM) from a test
module:

Implements freelist randomization for the SLUB allocator. It was
previous implemented for the SLAB allocator. Both use the same
configuration option (CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM).
The list is randomized during initialization of a new set of pages. The
order on different freelist sizes is pre-computed at boot for
performance. Each kmem_cache has its own randomized freelist.
This security feature reduces the predictability of the kernel SLUB
allocator against heap overflows rendering attacks much less stable.
For example these attacks exploit the predictability of the heap:
- Linux Kernel CAN SLUB overflow (https://goo.gl/oMNWkU)
- Exploiting Linux Kernel Heap corruptions (http://goo.gl/EXLn95)
Performance results:
slab_test impact is between 3% to 4% on average for 100000 attempts
without smp. It is a very focused testing, kernbench show the overall
impact on the system is way lower.

Many developers already know that field for reference count of the
struct page is _count and atomic type. They would try to handle it
directly and this could break the purpose of page reference count
tracepoint. To prevent direct _count modification, this patch rename it
to _refcount and add warning message on the code. After that, developer
who need to handle reference count will find that field should not be
accessed directly.

kick_all_cpus_sync, which works as a system wide memory barrier. Though
fast it is, this method has a flaw - it issues a lot of IPIs, which
might hurt high performance or real-time workloads.
To fix this, let's replace kick_all_cpus_sync with synchronize_sched.
Although the latter one may take much longer to finish, it shouldn't be
a problem in this particular case, because memory cgroups are destroyed
asynchronously from a workqueue so that no user visible effects should
be introduced. OTOH, it will save us from excessive IPIs when someone
removes a cgroup.
Anyway, even if using synchronize_sched turns out to take too long, we
can always introduce a kind of __kmem_cache_shrink batching so that this
method would only be called once per one cgroup destruction (not per
each per memcg kmem cache as it is now).

THP defrag is enabled by default to direct reclaim/compact but not wake
kswapd in the event of a THP allocation failure. The problem is that
THP allocation requests potentially enter reclaim/compaction. This
potentially incurs a severe stall that is not guaranteed to be offset by
reduced TLB misses. While there has been considerable effort to reduce
the impact of reclaim/compaction, it is still a high cost and workloads
that should fit in memory fail to do so. Specifically, a simple
anon/file streaming workload will enter direct reclaim on NUMA at least
even though the working set size is 80% of RAM. It's been years and
it's time to throw in the towel.
First, this patch defines THP defrag as follows;
madvise: A failed allocation will direct reclaim/compact if the application requests it
never: Neither reclaim/compact nor wake kswapd
defer: A failed allocation will wake kswapd/kcompactd
always: A failed allocation will direct reclaim/compact (historical behaviour)
khugepaged defrag will enter direct/reclaim but not wake kswapd.
Next it sets the default defrag option to be "madvise" to only enter
direct reclaim/compaction for applications that specifically requested
it.
Lastly, it removes a check from the page allocator slowpath that is
related to __GFP_THISNODE to allow "defer" to work. The callers that
really cares are slub/slab and they are updated accordingly. The slab
one may be surprising because it also corrects a comment as kswapd was
never woken up by that path.
This means that a THP fault will no longer stall for most applications
by default and the ideal for most users that get THP if they are
immediately available. There are still options for users that prefer a
stall at startup of a new application by either restoring historical
behaviour with "always" or pick a half-way point with "defer" where
kswapd does some of the work in the background and wakes kcompactd if
necessary. THP defrag for khugepaged remains enabled and will enter
direct/reclaim but no wakeup kswapd or kcompactd.
After this patch a THP allocation failure will quickly fallback and rely
on khugepaged to recover the situation at some time in the future. In
some cases, this will reduce THP usage but the benefit of THP is hard to
measure and not a universal win where as a stall to reclaim/compaction
is definitely measurable and can be painful.
The first test for this is using "usemem" to read a large file and write
a large anonymous mapping (to avoid the zero page) multiple times. The
total size of the mappings is 80% of RAM and the benchmark simply
measures how long it takes to complete. It uses multiple threads to see
if that is a factor. On UMA, the performance is almost identical so is
not reported but on NUMA, we see this

Compaction-related stalls and activity are almost eliminated.

is not hit as often. However, note that 99% of the mappings complete
13.79% faster. The CPU usage here is particularly interesting

cost to kswapd, kcompactd and khugepaged where it belongs.

SLUB already has a redzone debugging feature. But it is only positioned
at the end of object (aka right redzone) so it cannot catch left oob.
Although current object's right redzone acts as left redzone of next
object, first object in a slab cannot take advantage of this effect.
This patch explicitly adds a left red zone to each object to detect left
oob more precisely.
Background:
Someone complained to me that left OOB doesn't catch even if KASAN is
enabled which does page allocation debugging. That page is out of our
control so it would be allocated when left OOB happens and, in this
case, we can't find OOB. Moreover, SLUB debugging feature can be
enabled without page allocator debugging and, in this case, we will miss
that OOB.
Before trying to implement, I expected that changes would be too
complex, but, it doesn't look that complex to me now. Almost changes
are applied to debug specific functions so I feel okay.

When debug options are enabled, cmpxchg on the page is disabled. This
is because the page must be locked to ensure there are no false
positives when performing consistency checks. Some debug options such
as poisoning and red zoning only act on the object itself. There is no
need to protect other CPUs from modification on only the object. Allow
cmpxchg to happen with poisoning and red zoning are set on a slab.

This series takes the suggestion of Christoph Lameter and only focuses
on optimizing the slow path where the debug processing runs. The two
main optimizations in this series are letting the consistency checks be
skipped and relaxing the cmpxchg restrictions when we are not doing
consistency checks. With hackbench -g 20 -l 1000 averaged over 100
runs:
Before slub_debug=P
mean 15.607
variance .086
stdev .294
After slub_debug=P
mean 10.836
variance .155
stdev .394
This still isn't as fast as what is in grsecurity unfortunately so there's
still work to be done. Profiling ___slab_alloc shows that 25-50% of time
is spent in deactivate_slab. I haven't looked too closely to see if this
is something that can be optimized. My plan for now is to focus on
getting all of this merged (if appropriate) before digging in to another
task.
This patch (of 4):
Currently, free_debug_processing has a comment "Keep node_lock to preserve
integrity until the object is actually freed". In actuallity, the lock is
dropped immediately in __slab_free. Rather than wait until __slab_free
and potentially throw off the unlikely marking, just drop the lock in
__slab_free. This also lets free_debug_processing take its own copy of
the spinlock flags rather than trying to share the ones from __slab_free.
Since there is no use for the node afterwards, change the return type of
free_debug_processing to return an int like alloc_debug_processing.

This change is primarily an attempt to make it easier to realize the
optimizations the compiler performs in-case CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is not
enabled.
Performance wise, even when CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is compiled in, the
overhead is zero. This is because, as long as no process have enabled
kmem cgroups accounting, the assignment is replaced by asm-NOP
operations. This is possible because memcg_kmem_enabled() uses a
static_key_false() construct.
It also helps readability as it avoid accessing the p[] array like:
p[size - 1] which "expose" that the array is processed backwards inside
helper function build_detached_freelist().
Lastly this also makes the code more robust, in error case like passing
NULL pointers in the array. Which were previously handled before commit
033745189b ("slub: add missing kmem cgroup support to
kmem_cache_free_bulk").

lock_page() must operate on the whole compound page. It doesn't make
much sense to lock part of compound page. Change code to use head
page's PG_locked, if tail page is passed.
This patch also gets rid of custom helper functions --
__set_page_locked() and __clear_page_locked(). They are replaced with
helpers generated by __SETPAGEFLAG/__CLEARPAGEFLAG. Tail pages to these
helper would trigger VM_BUG_ON().
SLUB uses PG_locked as a bit spin locked. IIUC, tail pages should never
appear there. VM_BUG_ON() is added to make sure that this assumption is
correct.

Currently, if we want to account all objects of a particular kmem cache,
we have to pass __GFP_ACCOUNT to each kmem_cache_alloc call, which is
inconvenient. This patch introduces SLAB_ACCOUNT flag which if passed
to kmem_cache_create will force accounting for every allocation from
this cache even if __GFP_ACCOUNT is not passed.
This patch does not make any of the existing caches use this flag - it
will be done later in the series.
Note, a cache with SLAB_ACCOUNT cannot be merged with a cache w/o
SLAB_ACCOUNT, because merged caches share the same kmem_cache struct and
hence cannot have different sets of SLAB_* flags. Thus using this flag
will probably reduce the number of merged slabs even if kmem accounting
is not used (only compiled in).

Adjust kmem_cache_alloc_bulk API before we have any real users.
Adjust API to return type 'int' instead of previously type 'bool'. This
is done to allow future extension of the bulk alloc API.
A future extension could be to allow SLUB to stop at a page boundary, when
specified by a flag, and then return the number of objects.
The advantage of this approach, would make it easier to make bulk alloc
run without local IRQs disabled. With an approach of cmpxchg "stealing"
the entire c->freelist or page->freelist. To avoid overshooting we would
stop processing at a slab-page boundary. Else we always end up returning
some objects at the cost of another cmpxchg.
To keep compatible with future users of this API linking against an older
kernel when using the new flag, we need to return the number of allocated
objects with this API change.

Initial implementation missed support for kmem cgroup support in
kmem_cache_free_bulk() call, add this.
If CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is not enabled, the compiler should be smart enough
to not add any asm code.
Incoming bulk free objects can belong to different kmem cgroups, and
object free call can happen at a later point outside memcg context. Thus,
we need to keep the orig kmem_cache, to correctly verify if a memcg object
match against its "root_cache" (s->memcg_params.root_cache).

The call slab_pre_alloc_hook() interacts with kmemgc and is not allowed to
be called several times inside the bulk alloc for loop, due to the call to
memcg_kmem_get_cache().
This would result in hitting the VM_BUG_ON in __memcg_kmem_get_cache.
As suggested by Vladimir Davydov, change slab_post_alloc_hook() to be able
to handle an array of objects.
A subtle detail is, loop iterator "i" in slab_post_alloc_hook() must have
same type (size_t) as size argument. This helps the compiler to easier
realize that it can remove the loop, when all debug statements inside loop
evaluates to nothing. Note, this is only an issue because the kernel is
compiled with GCC option: -fno-strict-overflow
In slab_alloc_node() the compiler inlines and optimizes the invocation of
slab_post_alloc_hook(s, flags, 1, &object) by removing the loop and access
object directly.

Make it possible to free a freelist with several objects by adjusting API
of slab_free() and __slab_free() to have head, tail and an objects counter
(cnt).
Tail being NULL indicate single object free of head object. This allow
compiler inline constant propagation in slab_free() and
slab_free_freelist_hook() to avoid adding any overhead in case of single
object free.
This allows a freelist with several objects (all within the same
slab-page) to be free'ed using a single locked cmpxchg_double in
__slab_free() and with an unlocked cmpxchg_double in slab_free().
Object debugging on the free path is also extended to handle these
freelists. When CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG is enabled it will also detect if
objects don't belong to the same slab-page.
These changes are needed for the next patch to bulk free the detached
freelists it introduces and constructs.
Micro benchmarking showed no performance reduction due to this change,
when debugging is turned off (compiled with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG).

__GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold
spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and
have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred
to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first
lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve".
Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options
were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where
an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic
reserves.
This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic,
cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use
__GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and
are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify
callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is
redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake
kswapd for background reclaim.
This patch then converts a number of sites
o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory
pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag.
o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall
into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves
are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress.
o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the
helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because
checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false
positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent
is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to
flag manipulations.
o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL
and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.
The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT
and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons.
In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH.
The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of
GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may
now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless
if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

It's recommended to have slub's user tracking enabled with CONFIG_KASAN,
because:
a) User tracking disables slab merging which improves
detecting out-of-bounds accesses.
b) User tracking metadata acts as redzone which also improves
detecting out-of-bounds accesses.
c) User tracking provides additional information about object.
This information helps to understand bugs.
Currently it is not enabled by default. Besides recompiling the kernel
with KASAN and reinstalling it, user also have to change the boot cmdline,
which is not very handy.
Enable slub user tracking by default with KASAN=y, since there is no good
reason to not do this.

We have memcg_kmem_charge and memcg_kmem_uncharge methods for charging and
uncharging kmem pages to memcg, but currently they are not used for
charging slab pages (i.e. they are only used for charging pages allocated
with alloc_kmem_pages). The only reason why the slab subsystem uses
special helpers, memcg_charge_slab and memcg_uncharge_slab, is that it
needs to charge to the memcg of kmem cache while memcg_charge_kmem charges
to the memcg that the current task belongs to.
To remove this diversity, this patch adds an extra argument to
__memcg_kmem_charge that can be a pointer to a memcg or NULL. If it is
not NULL, the function tries to charge to the memcg it points to,
otherwise it charge to the current context. Next, it makes the slab
subsystem use this function to charge slab pages.
Since memcg_charge_kmem and memcg_uncharge_kmem helpers are now used only
in __memcg_kmem_charge and __memcg_kmem_uncharge, they are inlined. Since
__memcg_kmem_charge stores a pointer to the memcg in the page struct, we
don't need memcg_uncharge_slab anymore and can use free_kmem_pages.
Besides, one can now detect which memcg a slab page belongs to by reading
/proc/kpagecgroup.
Note, this patch switches slab to charge-after-alloc design. Since this
design is already used for all other memcg charges, it should not make any
difference.

In slub_order(), the order starts from max(min_order,
get_order(min_objects * size)). When (min_objects * size) has different
order from (min_objects * size + reserved), it will skip this order via a

This patch optimizes this a little by calculating the start order with
`reserved' in consideration and removing the check in loop.

alloc_pages_exact_node() was introduced in commit 6484eb3e2a ("page
allocator: do not check NUMA node ID when the caller knows the node is
valid") as an optimized variant of alloc_pages_node(), that doesn't
fallback to current node for nid == NUMA_NO_NODE. Unfortunately the
name of the function can easily suggest that the allocation is
restricted to the given node and fails otherwise. In truth, the node is
only preferred, unless __GFP_THISNODE is passed among the gfp flags.
The misleading name has lead to mistakes in the past, see for example
commits 5265047ac3 ("mm, thp: really limit transparent hugepage
allocation to local node") and b360edb43f ("mm, mempolicy:
migrate_to_node should only migrate to node").
Another issue with the name is that there's a family of
alloc_pages_exact*() functions where 'exact' means exact size (instead
of page order), which leads to more confusion.
To prevent further mistakes, this patch effectively renames
alloc_pages_exact_node() to __alloc_pages_node() to better convey that
it's an optimized variant of alloc_pages_node() not intended for general
usage. Both functions get described in comments.
It has been also considered to really provide a convenience function for
allocations restricted to a node, but the major opinion seems to be that
__GFP_THISNODE already provides that functionality and we shouldn't
duplicate the API needlessly. The number of users would be small
anyway.
Existing callers of alloc_pages_exact_node() are simply converted to
call __alloc_pages_node(), with the exception of sba_alloc_coherent()
which open-codes the check for NUMA_NO_NODE, so it is converted to use
alloc_pages_node() instead. This means it no longer performs some
VM_BUG_ON checks, and since the current check for nid in
alloc_pages_node() uses a 'nid < 0' comparison (which includes
NUMA_NO_NODE), it may hide wrong values which would be previously
exposed.
Both differences will be rectified by the next patch.
To sum up, this patch makes no functional changes, except temporarily
hiding potentially buggy callers. Restricting the checks in
alloc_pages_node() is left for the next patch which can in turn expose
more existing buggy callers.

Description is almost copied from commit fb05e7a89f ("net: don't wait
for order-3 page allocation").
I saw excessive direct memory reclaim/compaction triggered by slub. This
causes performance issues and add latency. Slub uses high-order
allocation to reduce internal fragmentation and management overhead. But,
direct memory reclaim/compaction has high overhead and the benefit of
high-order allocation can't compensate the overhead of both work.
This patch makes auxiliary high-order allocation atomic. If there is no
memory pressure and memory isn't fragmented, the alloction will still
success, so we don't sacrifice high-order allocation's benefit here. If
the atomic allocation fails, direct memory reclaim/compaction will not be
triggered, allocation fallback to low-order immediately, hence the direct
memory reclaim/compaction overhead is avoided. In the allocation failure
case, kswapd is waken up and trying to make high-order freepages, so
allocation could success next time.
Following is the test to measure effect of this patch.

For example this happens when slub debug was enabled in runtime and
somebody creates new kmem cache:
# echo 1 | tee /sys/kernel/slab/*/sanity_checks
# modprobe configfs
"configfs_dir_cache" cannot be merged because existing slab have debug and
cannot create new slab because unique name ":t-0000096" already taken.

Initializing a new slab can introduce rather large latencies because most
of the initialization runs always with interrupts disabled.
There is no point in doing so. The newly allocated slab is not visible
yet, so there is no reason to protect it against concurrent alloc/free.
Move the expensive parts of the initialization into allocate_slab(), so
for all allocations with GFP_WAIT set, interrupts are enabled.

First piece: acceleration of retrieval of per cpu objects
If we are allocating lots of objects then it is advantageous to disable
interrupts and avoid the this_cpu_cmpxchg() operation to get these objects
faster.
Note that we cannot do the fast operation if debugging is enabled, because
we would have to add extra code to do all the debugging checks. And it
would not be fast anyway.
Note also that the requirement of having interrupts disabled avoids having
to do processor flag operations.
Allocate as many objects as possible in the fast way and then fall back to
the generic implementation for the rest of the objects.

Add the basic infrastructure for alloc/free operations on pointer arrays.
It includes a generic function in the common slab code that is used in
this infrastructure patch to create the unoptimized functionality for slab
bulk operations.
Allocators can then provide optimized allocation functions for situations
in which large numbers of objects are needed. These optimization may
avoid taking locks repeatedly and bypass metadata creation if all objects
in slab pages can be used to provide the objects required.
Allocators can extend the skeletons provided and add their own code to the
bulk alloc and free functions. They can keep the generic allocation and
freeing and just fall back to those if optimizations would not work (like
for example when debugging is on).

With this patchset the SLUB allocator now has both bulk alloc and free
implemented.
This patchset mostly optimizes the "fastpath" where objects are available
on the per CPU fastpath page. This mostly amortize the less-heavy
none-locked cmpxchg_double used on fastpath.
The "fallback" bulking (e.g __kmem_cache_free_bulk) provides a good basis
for comparison. Measurements[1] of the fallback functions
__kmem_cache_{free,alloc}_bulk have been copied from slab_common.c and
forced "noinline" to force a function call like slab_common.c.

Benchmarking shows impressive improvements in the "fastpath" with a small
number of objects in the working set. Once the working set increases,
resulting in activating the "slowpath" (that contains the heavier locked
cmpxchg_double) the improvement decreases.
I'm currently working on also optimizing the "slowpath" (as network stack
use-case hits this), but this patchset should provide a good foundation
for further improvements. Rest of my patch queue in this area needs some
more work, but preliminary results are good. I'm attending Netfilter
Workshop[2] next week, and I'll hopefully return working on further
improvements in this area.

Commit c48a11c7ad ("netvm: propagate page->pfmemalloc to skb") added
checks for page->pfmemalloc to __skb_fill_page_desc():
if (page->pfmemalloc && !page->mapping)
skb->pfmemalloc = true;
It assumes page->mapping == NULL implies that page->pfmemalloc can be
trusted. However, __delete_from_page_cache() can set set page->mapping
to NULL and leave page->index value alone. Due to being in union, a
non-zero page->index will be interpreted as true page->pfmemalloc.
So the assumption is invalid if the networking code can see such a page.
And it seems it can. We have encountered this with a NFS over loopback
setup when such a page is attached to a new skbuf. There is no copying
going on in this case so the page confuses __skb_fill_page_desc which
interprets the index as pfmemalloc flag and the network stack drops
packets that have been allocated using the reserves unless they are to
be queued on sockets handling the swapping which is the case here and
that leads to hangs when the nfs client waits for a response from the
server which has been dropped and thus never arrive.
The struct page is already heavily packed so rather than finding another
hole to put it in, let's do a trick instead. We can reuse the index
again but define it to an impossible value (-1UL). This is the page
index so it should never see the value that large. Replace all direct
users of page->pfmemalloc by page_is_pfmemalloc which will hide this
nastiness from unspoiled eyes.
The information will get lost if somebody wants to use page->index
obviously but that was the case before and the original code expected
that the information should be persisted somewhere else if that is
really needed (e.g. what SLAB and SLUB do).
