Alexey Dobriyan d50112edde slab, slub, slob: add slab_flags_t
Add sparse-checked slab_flags_t for struct kmem_cache::flags (SLAB_POISON,
etc).

SLAB is bloated temporarily by switching to "unsigned long", but only
temporarily.

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

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

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

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

How this work was done:

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

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

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

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

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

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

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

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

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

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

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

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

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

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

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

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

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Kees Cook 2482ddec67 mm: add SLUB free list pointer obfuscation
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.

Wei Yang d3111e6cce mm/slub.c: pack red_left_pad with another int to save a word
Patch series "try to save some memory for kmem_cache in some cases", v2.

kmem_cache is a frequently used data in kernel.  During the code
reading, I found maybe we could save some space in some cases.

1. On 64bit arch, type int will occupy a word if it doesn't sit well.

2. cpu_slab->partial is just used when CONFIG_SLUB_CPU_PARTIAL is set

3. cpu_partial is just used when CONFIG_SLUB_CPU_PARTIAL is set, while
   just save some space on 32bit arch.

This patch (of 3):

On 64bit arch, struct is 8-bytes aligned, so int will occupy a word if
it doesn't sit well.

This patch pack red_left_pad with reserved to save 8 bytes for struct
kmem_cache on a 64bit arch.

Tejun Heo 3b7b314053 slub: make sysfs file removal asynchronous
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.

Separate out slub sysfs removal and release, and call the former earlier

through RCU and this will later allow us to remove sysfs files way
earlier during memory cgroup offline instead of release.

Thomas Garnier 210e7a43fa mm: SLUB freelist randomization
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.

Joonsoo Kim d86bd1bece mm/slub: support left redzone
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.

Vladimir Davydov f7ce3190c4 slab: embed memcg_cache_params to kmem_cache
Currently, kmem_cache stores a pointer to struct memcg_cache_params
instead of embedding it.  The rationale is to save memory when kmem
accounting is disabled.  However, the memcg_cache_params has shrivelled
drastically since it was first introduced:

* Initially:

struct memcg_cache_params {
	bool is_root_cache;
	union {
		struct kmem_cache *memcg_caches[0];
		struct {
			struct mem_cgroup *memcg;
			struct list_head list;
			struct kmem_cache *root_cache;
			bool dead;
			atomic_t nr_pages;
			struct work_struct destroy;
		};
	};
};

* Now:

struct memcg_cache_params {
	bool is_root_cache;
	union {
		struct {
			struct rcu_head rcu_head;
			struct kmem_cache *memcg_caches[0];
		};
		struct {
			struct mem_cgroup *memcg;
			struct kmem_cache *root_cache;
		};
	};
};

So the memory saving does not seem to be a clear win anymore.

OTOH, keeping a pointer to memcg_cache_params struct instead of embedding
it results in touching one more cache line on kmem alloc/free hot paths.
Besides, it makes linking kmem caches in a list chained by a field of
struct memcg_cache_params really painful due to a level of indirection,
while I want to make them linked in the following patch.  That said, let
us embed it.

Sysfs has a release mechanism.  Use that to release the kmem_cache

Only slub is changed - slab currently only supports /proc/slabinfo and
not /sys/kernel/slab/*.  We talked about adding that and someone was

Vladimir Davydov 9a41707bd3 slub: rework sysfs layout for memcg caches
Currently, we try to arrange sysfs entries for memcg caches in the same
manner as for global caches.  Apart from turning /sys/kernel/slab into a
mess when there are a lot of kmem-active memcgs created, it actually
does not work properly - we won't create more than one link to a memcg
cache in case its parent is merged with another cache.  For instance, if
A is a root cache merged with another root cache B, we will have the
following sysfs setup:

  X
  A -> X
  B -> X

where X is some unique id (see create_unique_id()).  Now if memcgs M and
N start to allocate from cache A (or B, which is the same), we will get:

  X
  X:M
  X:N
  A -> X
  B -> X
  A:M -> X:M
  A:N -> X:N

Since B is an alias for A, we won't get entries B:M and B:N, which is
confusing.

It is more logical to have entries for memcg caches under the
corresponding root cache's sysfs directory.  This would allow us to keep
sysfs layout clean, and avoid such inconsistencies like one described
above.

This patch does the trick.  It creates a "cgroup" kset in each root
cache kobject to keep its children caches there.

Christoph Lameter f1b6eb6e6b mm/sl[aou]b: Move kmallocXXX functions to common code
The kmalloc* functions of all slab allcoators are similar now so
lets move them into slab.h. This requires some function naming changes
in slob.

As a results of this patch there is a common set of functions for
all allocators. Also means that kmalloc_large() is now available
in general to perform large order allocations that go directly
via the page allocator. kmalloc_large() can be substituted if
kmalloc() throws warnings because of too large allocations.

kmalloc_large() has exactly the same semantics as kmalloc but
can only used for allocations > PAGE_SIZE.

Glauber Costa 107dab5c92 slub: slub-specific propagation changes
SLUB allows us to tune a particular cache behavior with sysfs-based
tunables.  When creating a new memcg cache copy, we'd like to preserve any
tunables the parent cache already had.

This can be done by tapping into the store attribute function provided by
the allocator.  We of course don't need to mess with read-only fields.
Since the attributes can have multiple types and are stored internally by
sysfs, the best strategy is to issue a ->show() in the root cache, and
then ->store() in the memcg cache.

The drawback of that, is that sysfs can allocate up to a page in buffering
for show(), that we are likely not to need, but also can't guarantee.  To
avoid always allocating a page for that, we can update the caches at store
time with the maximum attribute size ever stored to the root cache.  We
will then get a buffer big enough to hold it.  The corolary to this, is
that if no stores happened, nothing will be propagated.

It can also happen that a root cache has its tunables updated during
normal system operation.  In this case, we will propagate the change to
all caches that are already active.

Glauber Costa d79923fad9 sl[au]b: allocate objects from memcg cache
We are able to match a cache allocation to a particular memcg.  If the
task doesn't change groups during the allocation itself - a rare event,
this will give us a good picture about who is the first group to touch a
cache page.

This patch uses the now available infrastructure by calling
memcg_kmem_get_cache() before all the cache allocations.

Christoph Lameter 3b0efdfa1e mm, sl[aou]b: Extract common fields from struct kmem_cache
Define a struct that describes common fields used in all slab allocators.
A slab allocator either uses the common definition (like SLOB) or is
required to provide members of kmem_cache with the definition given.

After that it will be possible to share code that
only operates on those fields of kmem_cache.

The patch basically takes the slob definition of kmem cache and
uses the field namees for the other allocators.

It also standardizes the names used for basic object lengths in
allocators:

object_size	Struct size specified at kmem_cache_create. Basically
		the payload expected to be used by the subsystem.

size		The size of memory allocator for each object. This size
		is larger than object_size and includes padding, alignment
		and extra metadata for each object (f.e. for debugging
		and rcu).

Christoph Lameter ec3ab083a7 slub: Get rid of the node field
The node field is always page_to_nid(c->page). So its rather easy to
replace. Note that there maybe slightly more overhead in various hot paths
due to the need to shift the bits from page->flags. However, that is mostly
compensated for by a smaller footprint of the kmem_cache_cpu structure (this
patch reduces that to 3 words per cache) which allows better caching.

Paul Gortmaker 187f1882b5 BUG: headers with BUG/BUG_ON etc. need linux/bug.h
If a header file is making use of BUG, BUG_ON, BUILD_BUG_ON, or any
other BUG variant in a static inline (i.e. not in a #define) then
that header really should be including <linux/bug.h> and not just
expecting it to be implicitly present.

We can make this change risk-free, since if the files using these
headers didn't have exposure to linux/bug.h already, they would have
been causing compile failures/warnings.

slab_free slow path. A new statistic 'cpu_partial_drain' is added to get PCP
drain to node partial times. These info are useful when do PCP tunning.

The slabinfo.c code is unchanged, since cpu_partial_node is not on slow path.

Christoph Lameter 49e2258586 slub: per cpu cache for partial pages
Allow filling out the rest of the kmem_cache_cpu cacheline with pointers to
partial pages. The partial page list is used in slab_free() to avoid
per node lock taking.

In __slab_alloc() we can then take multiple partial pages off the per
node partial list in one go reducing node lock pressure.

We can also use the per cpu partial list in slab_alloc() to avoid scanning
partial lists for pages with free objects.

The main effect of a per cpu partial list is that the per node list_lock
is taken for batches of partial pages instead of individual ones.

Potential future enhancements:

1. The pickup from the partial list could be perhaps be done without disabling
   interrupts with some work. The free path already puts the page into the
   per cpu partial list without disabling interrupts.

2. __slab_free() may have some code paths that could use optimization.

Remove the #ifdefs. This means that the irqsafe_cpu_cmpxchg_double() is used
everywhere.

There may be performance implications since:

A. We now have to manage a transaction ID for all arches

B. The interrupt holdoff for arches not supporting CONFIG_CMPXCHG_LOCAL is reduced
to a very short irqoff section.

There are no multiple irqoff/irqon sequences as a result of this change. Even in the fallback
case we only have to do one disable and enable like before.

Lai Jiangshan ab9a0f196f slub: automatically reserve bytes at the end of slab
There is no "struct" for slub's slab, it shares with struct page.
But struct page is very small, it is insufficient when we need
to add some metadata for slab.

So we add a field "reserved" to struct kmem_cache, when a slab
is allocated, kmem_cache->reserved bytes are automatically reserved
at the end of the slab for slab's metadata.

Changed from v1:
	Export the reserved field via sysfs
