      usercopy: Allow strict enforcement of whitelists · 2d891fbc
      由 Kees Cook 提交于 
      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.

      usercopy: Prepare for usercopy whitelisting · 8eb8284b
      由 David Windsor 提交于 
      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:

      License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license · b2441318
      由 Greg Kroah-Hartman 提交于 
      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.

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

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

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

      mm: allow slab_nomerge to be set at build time · 7660a6fd
      由 Kees Cook 提交于 
      Some hardened environments want to build kernels with slab_nomerge
already set (so that they do not depend on remembering to set the kernel
command line option).  This is desired to reduce the risk of kernel heap
overflows being able to overwrite objects from merged caches and changes
the requirements for cache layout control, increasing the difficulty of
these attacks.  By keeping caches unmerged, these kinds of exploits can
usually only damage objects in the same cache (though the risk to
metadata exploitation is unchanged).

      mm: Rename SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU · 5f0d5a3a
      由 Paul E. McKenney 提交于 
      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.

      kasan: drain quarantine of memcg slab objects · f9fa1d91
      由 Greg Thelen 提交于 
      Per memcg slab accounting and kasan have a problem with kmem_cache
destruction.
 - kmem_cache_create() allocates a kmem_cache, which is used for
   allocations from processes running in root (top) memcg.
 - Processes running in non root memcg and allocating with either
   __GFP_ACCOUNT or from a SLAB_ACCOUNT cache use a per memcg
   kmem_cache.
 - Kasan catches use-after-free by having kfree() and kmem_cache_free()
   defer freeing of objects. Objects are placed in a quarantine.
 - kmem_cache_destroy() destroys root and non root kmem_caches. It takes
   care to drain the quarantine of objects from the root memcg's
   kmem_cache, but ignores objects associated with non root memcg. This
   causes leaks because quarantined per memcg objects refer to per memcg
   kmem cache being destroyed.

To see the problem:

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

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

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

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

      slab: use memcg_kmem_cache_wq for slab destruction operations · 17cc4dfe
      由 Tejun Heo 提交于 
      If there's contention on slab_mutex, queueing the per-cache destruction
work item on the system_wq can unnecessarily create and tie up a lot of
kworkers.

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

This is suggested by Joonsoo Kim.

      slab: remove synchronous synchronize_sched() from memcg cache deactivation path · 01fb58bc
      由 Tejun Heo 提交于 
      With kmem cgroup support enabled, kmem_caches can be created and
destroyed frequently and a great number of near empty kmem_caches can
accumulate if there are a lot of transient cgroups and the system is not
under memory pressure.  When memory reclaim starts under such
conditions, it can lead to consecutive deactivation and destruction of
many kmem_caches, easily hundreds of thousands on moderately large
systems, exposing scalability issues in the current slab management
code.  This is one of the patches to address the issue.

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

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

      __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: implement slab_root_caches list · 510ded33
      由 Tejun Heo 提交于 
      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

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.

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().

      slab: link memcg kmem_caches on their associated memory cgroup · bc2791f8
      由 Tejun Heo 提交于 
      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

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.

While a memcg kmem_cache is listed on its root cache's ->children list,
there is no direct way to iterate all kmem_caches which are assocaited
with a memory cgroup.  The only way to iterate them is walking all
caches while filtering out caches which don't match, which would be most
of them.

This makes memcg destruction operations O(N^2) where N is the total
number of slab caches which can be huge.  This combined with the
synchronous RCU operations can tie up a CPU and affect the whole machine
for many hours when memory reclaim triggers offlining and destruction of
the stale memcgs.

This patch adds mem_cgroup->kmem_caches list which goes through
memcg_cache_params->kmem_caches_node of all kmem_caches which are
associated with the memcg.  All memcg specific iterations, including
stat file access, are updated to use the new list instead.

      slab: remove synchronous rcu_barrier() call in memcg cache release path · 657dc2f9
      由 Tejun Heo 提交于 
      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.

SLAB_DESTORY_BY_RCU caches need to flush all RCU operations before
destruction because slab pages are freed through RCU and they need to be
able to dereference the associated kmem_cache.  Currently, it's done
synchronously with rcu_barrier().  As rcu_barrier() is expensive
time-wise, slab implements a batching mechanism so that rcu_barrier()
can be done for multiple caches at the same time.

Unfortunately, the rcu_barrier() is in synchronous path which is called
while holding cgroup_mutex and the batching is too limited to be
actually helpful.

This patch updates the cache release path so that the batching is
asynchronous and global.  All SLAB_DESTORY_BY_RCU caches are queued
globally and a work item consumes the list.  The work item calls
rcu_barrier() only once for all caches that are currently queued.

* release_caches() is removed and shutdown_cache() now either directly
  release the cache or schedules a RCU callback to do that.  This
  makes the cache inaccessible once shutdown_cache() is called and
  makes it impossible for shutdown_memcg_caches() to do memcg-specific
  cleanups afterwards.  Move memcg-specific part into a helper,
  unlink_memcg_cache(), and make shutdown_cache() call it directly.

      由 Tejun Heo 提交于 
      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.

Revert 89e364db ("slub: move synchronize_sched out of slab_mutex on

With kmem cgroup support enabled, kmem_caches can be created and destroyed

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.

      由 Vlastimil Babka 提交于 
      SLAB as part of its bootstrap pre-creates one kmalloc cache that can fit
the kmem_cache_node management structure, and puts it into the generic
kmalloc cache array (e.g. for 128b objects).  The name of this cache is
"kmalloc-node", which is confusing for readers of /proc/slabinfo as the
cache is used for generic allocations (and not just the kmem_cache_node
struct) and it appears as the kmalloc-128 cache is missing.

An easy solution is to use the kmalloc-<size> name when pre-creating the
cache, which we can get from the kmalloc_info array.

      slub: do not merge cache if slub_debug contains a never-merge flag · c6e28895
      由 Grygorii Maistrenko 提交于 
      In case CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON=n, find_mergeable() gets debug features from
commandline but never checks if there are features from the
SLAB_NEVER_MERGE set.

As a result selected by slub_debug caches are always mergeable if they
have been created without a custom constructor set or without one of the
SLAB_* debug features on.

This moves the SLAB_NEVER_MERGE check below the flags update from
commandline to make sure it won't merge the slab cache if one of the debug
features is on.

      mm: charge/uncharge kmemcg from generic page allocator paths · 4949148a
      由 Vladimir Davydov 提交于 
      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.

      mm: reorganize SLAB freelist randomization · 7c00fce9
      由 Thomas Garnier 提交于 
      The kernel heap allocators are using a sequential freelist making their
allocation predictable.  This predictability makes kernel heap overflow
easier to exploit.  An attacker can careful prepare the kernel heap to
control the following chunk overflowed.

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)

***Problems that needed solving:
 - Randomize the Freelist (singled linked) used in the SLUB allocator.
 - Ensure good performance to encourage usage.
 - Get best entropy in early boot stage.

***Parts:
 - 01/02 Reorganize the SLAB Freelist randomization to share elements
   with the SLUB implementation.
 - 02/02 The SLUB Freelist randomization implementation. Similar approach
   than the SLAB but tailored to the singled freelist used in SLUB.

***Performance data:

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.

This patch (of 2):

This commit reorganizes the previous SLAB freelist randomization to
prepare for the SLUB implementation.  It moves functions that will be
shared to slab_common.

The entropy functions are changed to align with the SLUB implementation,
now using get_random_(int|long) functions.  These functions were chosen
because they provide a bit more entropy early on boot and better
performance when specific arch instructions are not available.

      mm: memcontrol: fix cgroup creation failure after many small jobs · 73f576c0
      由 Johannes Weiner 提交于 
      The memory controller has quite a bit of state that usually outlives the
cgroup and pins its CSS until said state disappears.  At the same time
it imposes a 16-bit limit on the CSS ID space to economically store IDs
in the wild.  Consequently, when we use cgroups to contain frequent but
small and short-lived jobs that leave behind some page cache, we quickly
run into the 64k limitations of outstanding CSSs.  Creating a new cgroup
fails with -ENOSPC while there are only a few, or even no user-visible
cgroups in existence.

Although pinning CSSs past cgroup removal is common, there are only two
instances that actually need an ID after a cgroup is deleted: cache
shadow entries and swapout records.

Cache shadow entries reference the ID weakly and can deal with the CSS
having disappeared when it's looked up later.  They pose no hurdle.

Swap-out records do need to pin the css to hierarchically attribute
swapins after the cgroup has been deleted; though the only pages that
remain swapped out after offlining are tmpfs/shmem pages.  And those
references are under the user's control, so they are manageable.

This patch introduces a private 16-bit memcg ID and switches swap and
cache shadow entries over to using that.  This ID can then be recycled
after offlining when the CSS remains pinned only by objects that don't
specifically need it.

This script demonstrates the problem by faulting one cache page in a new
cgroup and deleting it again:

  set -e
  mkdir -p pages
  for x in `seq 128000`; do
    [ $((x % 1000)) -eq 0 ] && echo $x
    mkdir /cgroup/foo
    echo $$ >/cgroup/foo/cgroup.procs
    echo trex >pages/$x
    echo $$ >/cgroup/cgroup.procs
    rmdir /cgroup/foo
  done

When run on an unpatched kernel, we eventually run out of possible IDs
even though there are no visible cgroups:

  [root@ham ~]# ./cssidstress.sh
  [...]
  65000
  mkdir: cannot create directory '/cgroup/foo': No space left on device

After this patch, the IDs get released upon cgroup destruction and the
cache and css objects get released once memory reclaim kicks in.

      mm: kasan: initial memory quarantine implementation · 55834c59
      由 Alexander Potapenko 提交于 
      Quarantine isolates freed objects in a separate queue.  The objects are
returned to the allocator later, which helps to detect use-after-free
errors.

When the object is freed, its state changes from KASAN_STATE_ALLOC to
KASAN_STATE_QUARANTINE.  The object is poisoned and put into quarantine
instead of being returned to the allocator, therefore every subsequent
access to that object triggers a KASAN error, and the error handler is
able to say where the object has been allocated and deallocated.

When it's time for the object to leave quarantine, its state becomes
KASAN_STATE_FREE and it's returned to the allocator.  From now on the
allocator may reuse it for another allocation.  Before that happens,
it's still possible to detect a use-after free on that object (it
retains the allocation/deallocation stacks).

When the allocator reuses this object, the shadow is unpoisoned and old
allocation/deallocation stacks are wiped.  Therefore a use of this
object, even an incorrect one, won't trigger ASan warning.

Without the quarantine, it's not guaranteed that the objects aren't
reused immediately, that's why the probability of catching a
use-after-free is lower than with quarantine in place.

Quarantine isolates freed objects in a separate queue.  The objects are
returned to the allocator later, which helps to detect use-after-free
errors.

Freed objects are first added to per-cpu quarantine queues.  When a
cache is destroyed or memory shrinking is requested, the objects are
moved into the global quarantine queue.  Whenever a kmalloc call allows
memory reclaiming, the oldest objects are popped out of the global queue
until the total size of objects in quarantine is less than 3/4 of the
maximum quarantine size (which is a fraction of installed physical
memory).

As long as an object remains in the quarantine, KASAN is able to report
accesses to it, so the chance of reporting a use-after-free is
increased.  Once the object leaves quarantine, the allocator may reuse
it, in which case the object is unpoisoned and KASAN can't detect
incorrect accesses to it.

Right now quarantine support is only enabled in SLAB allocator.
Unification of KASAN features in SLAB and SLUB will be done later.

This patch is based on the "mm: kasan: quarantine" patch originally
prepared by Dmitry Chernenkov.  A number of improvements have been
suggested by Andrey Ryabinin.

      mm: new API kfree_bulk() for SLAB+SLUB allocators · ca257195
      由 Jesper Dangaard Brouer 提交于 
      This patch introduce a new API call kfree_bulk() for bulk freeing memory
objects not bound to a single kmem_cache.

Christoph pointed out that it is possible to implement freeing of
objects, without knowing the kmem_cache pointer as that information is
available from the object's page->slab_cache.  Proposing to remove the
kmem_cache argument from the bulk free API.

Jesper demonstrated that these extra steps per object comes at a
performance cost.  It is only in the case CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is compiled
in and activated runtime that these steps are done anyhow.  The extra
cost is most visible for SLAB allocator, because the SLUB allocator does
the page lookup (virt_to_head_page()) anyhow.

Thus, the conclusion was to keep the kmem_cache free bulk API with a
kmem_cache pointer, but we can still implement a kfree_bulk() API fairly
easily.  Simply by handling if kmem_cache_free_bulk() gets called with a
kmem_cache NULL pointer.

This does increase the code size a bit, but implementing a separate
kfree_bulk() call would likely increase code size even more.

Below benchmarks cost of alloc+free (obj size 256 bytes) on CPU i7-4790K

      mm: slab: free kmem_cache_node after destroy sysfs file · 52b4b950
      由 Dmitry Safonov 提交于 
      When slub_debug alloc_calls_show is enabled we will try to track
location and user of slab object on each online node, kmem_cache_node
structure and cpu_cache/cpu_slub shouldn't be freed till there is the
last reference to sysfs file.

This fixes the following panic:

Separated __kmem_cache_release from __kmem_cache_shutdown which now
called on slab_kmem_cache_release (after the last reference to sysfs
file object has dropped).

Reintroduced locking in free_partial as sysfs file might access cache's
partial list after shutdowning - partial revert of the commit
69cb8e6b ("slub: free slabs without holding locks").  Zap
__remove_partial and use remove_partial (w/o underscores) as
free_partial now takes list_lock which s partial revert for commit
1e4dd946 ("slub: do not assert not having lock in removing freed
partial")

      slab: add SLAB_ACCOUNT flag · 230e9fc2
      由 Vladimir Davydov 提交于 
      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).

      slab/slub: adjust kmem_cache_alloc_bulk API · 865762a8
      由 Jesper Dangaard Brouer 提交于 
      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.
