      usercopy: Restrict non-usercopy caches to size 0 · 6d07d1cd
      Kees Cook 提交于
      With all known usercopied cache whitelists now defined in the
      kernel, switch the default usercopy region of kmem_cache_create()
      to size 0. Any new caches with usercopy regions will now need to use
      kmem_cache_create_usercopy() instead of kmem_cache_create().

      usercopy: Mark kmalloc caches as usercopy caches · 6c0c21ad
      David Windsor 提交于
      Mark the kmalloc slab caches as entirely whitelisted. These caches
      are frequently used to fulfill kernel allocations that contain data
      to be copied to/from userspace. Internal-only uses are also common,
      but are scattered in the kernel. For now, mark all the kmalloc caches
      as whitelisted.

      usercopy: Allow strict enforcement of whitelists · 2d891fbc
      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
      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
      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

      mm: memcontrol: use vmalloc fallback for large kmem memcg arrays · f80c7dab
      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.:

      mm: allow slab_nomerge to be set at build time · 7660a6fd
      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
      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
      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

      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.

      slab: remove synchronous synchronize_sched() from memcg cache deactivation path · 01fb58bc
      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.

      accumulate if there are a lot of transient cgroups and the system is not

      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

      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

      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.

      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.

      slub: separate out sysfs_slab_release() from sysfs_slab_remove() · bf5eb3de
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      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.

      Revert "slub: move synchronize_sched out of slab_mutex on shrink" · 290b6a58
      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.

      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 89e364db ("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

      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.

      mm, slab: rename kmalloc-node cache to kmalloc-<size> · af3b5f87
      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.
      
      Example /proc/slabinfo before the patch:
