mm, slab: remove last vestiges of SLAB_MEM_SPREAD Yes, yes, I know the slab people were planning on going slow and letting every subsystem fight this thing on their own. But let's just rip off the band-aid and get it over and done with. I don't want to see a number of unnecessary pull requests just to get rid of a flag that no longer has any meaning. This was mainly done with a couple of 'sed' scripts and then some manual cleanup of the end result.

mm, slab: use an enum to define SLAB_ cache creation flags The values of SLAB_ cache creation flags are defined by hand, which is tedious and error-prone. Use an enum to assign the bit number and a __SLAB_FLAG_BIT() macro to #define the final flags. This renumbers the flag values, which is OK as they are only used internally. Also define a __SLAB_FLAG_UNUSED macro to assign value to flags disabled by their respective config options in a unified and sparse-friendly way.

mm: Remove kmem_valid_obj() Function kmem_dump_obj() will splat if passed a pointer to a non-slab object. So nothing calls it directly, instead calling kmem_valid_obj() first to determine whether the passed pointer to a valid slab object. This means that merging kmem_valid_obj() into kmem_dump_obj() will make the code more concise. Therefore, convert kmem_dump_obj() to work the same way as vmalloc_dump_obj(), removing the need for the kmem_dump_obj() caller to check kmem_valid_obj(). After this, there are no remaining calls to kmem_valid_obj() anymore, and it can be safely removed.

Randomized slab caches for kmalloc() When exploiting memory vulnerabilities, "heap spraying" is a common technique targeting those related to dynamic memory allocation (i.e. the "heap"), and it plays an important role in a successful exploitation. Basically, it is to overwrite the memory area of vulnerable object by triggering allocation in other subsystems or modules and therefore getting a reference to the targeted memory location. It's usable on various types of vulnerablity including use after free (UAF), heap out- of-bound write and etc. There are (at least) two reasons why the heap can be sprayed: 1) generic slab caches are shared among different subsystems and modules, and 2) dedicated slab caches could be merged with the generic ones. Currently these two factors cannot be prevented at a low cost: the first one is a widely used memory allocation mechanism, and shutting down slab merging completely via `slub_nomerge` would be overkill. To efficiently prevent heap spraying, we propose the following approach: to create multiple copies of generic slab caches that will never be merged, and random one of them will be used at allocation. The random selection is based on the address of code that calls `kmalloc()`, which means it is static at runtime (rather than dynamically determined at each time of allocation, which could be bypassed by repeatedly spraying in brute force). In other words, the randomness of cache selection will be with respect to the code address rather than time, i.e. allocations in different code paths would most likely pick different caches, although kmalloc() at each place would use the same cache copy whenever it is executed. In this way, the vulnerable object and memory allocated in other subsystems and modules will (most probably) be on different slab caches, which prevents the object from being sprayed. Meanwhile, the static random selection is further enhanced with a per-boot random seed, which prevents the attacker from finding a usable kmalloc that happens to pick the same cache with the vulnerable subsystem/module by analyzing the open source code. In other words, with the per-boot seed, the random selection is static during each time the system starts and runs, but not across different system startups. The overhead of performance has been tested on a 40-core x86 server by comparing the results of `perf bench all` between the kernels with and without this patch based on the latest linux-next kernel, which shows minor difference. A subset of benchmarks are listed below: sched/ sched/ syscall/ mem/ mem/ messaging pipe basic memcpy memset (sec) (sec) (sec) (GB/sec) (GB/sec) control1 0.019 5.459 0.733 15.258789 51.398026 control2 0.019 5.439 0.730 16.009221 48.828125 control3 0.019 5.282 0.735 16.009221 48.828125 control_avg 0.019 5.393 0.733 15.759077 49.684759 experiment1 0.019 5.374 0.741 15.500992 46.502976 experiment2 0.019 5.440 0.746 16.276042 51.398026 experiment3 0.019 5.242 0.752 15.258789 51.398026 experiment_avg 0.019 5.352 0.746 15.678608 49.766343 The overhead of memory usage was measured by executing `free` after boot on a QEMU VM with 1GB total memory, and as expected, it's positively correlated with # of cache copies: control 4 copies 8 copies 16 copies total 969.8M 968.2M 968.2M 968.2M used 20.0M 21.9M 24.1M 26.7M free 936.9M 933.6M 931.4M 928.6M available 932.2M 928.8M 926.6M 923.9M Co-developed-by: Xiu Jianfeng <xiujianfeng@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Xiu Jianfeng <xiujianfeng@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: GONG, Ruiqi <gongruiqi@huaweicloud.com> Reviewed-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Hyeonggon Yoo <42.hyeyoo@gmail.com> Acked-by: Dennis Zhou <dennis@kernel.org> # percpu Signed-off-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz>

mm/slab: decouple ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN from ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN Patch series "mm, dma, arm64: Reduce ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to 8", v7. A series reducing the kmalloc() minimum alignment on arm64 to 8 (from 128). This patch (of 17): In preparation for supporting a kmalloc() minimum alignment smaller than the arch DMA alignment, decouple the two definitions. This requires that either the kmalloc() caches are aligned to a (run-time) cache-line size or the DMA API bounces unaligned kmalloc() allocations. Subsequent patches will implement both options. After this patch, ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN is expected to be used in static alignment annotations and defined by an architecture to be the maximum alignment for all supported configurations/SoCs in a single Image. Architectures opting in to a smaller ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN will need to define its value in the arch headers. Since ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN is now always defined, adjust the #ifdef in dma_get_cache_alignment() so that there is no change for architectures not requiring a minimum DMA alignment.

mm/slab: introduce kmem_cache flag SLAB_NO_MERGE Allow API users of kmem_cache_create to specify that they don't want any slab merge or aliasing (with similar sized objects). Use this in kfence_test. The SKB (sk_buff) kmem_cache slab is critical for network performance. Network stack uses kmem_cache_{alloc,free}_bulk APIs to gain performance by amortising the alloc/free cost. For the bulk API to perform efficiently the slub fragmentation need to be low. Especially for the SLUB allocator, the efficiency of bulk free API depend on objects belonging to the same slab (page). When running different network performance microbenchmarks, I started to notice that performance was reduced (slightly) when machines had longer uptimes. I believe the cause was 'skbuff_head_cache' got aliased/merged into the general slub for 256 bytes sized objects (with my kernel config, without CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY). For SKB kmem_cache network stack have reasons for not merging, but it varies depending on kernel config (e.g. CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY). We want to explicitly set SLAB_NO_MERGE for this kmem_cache. Another use case for the flag has been described by David Sterba [1]: > This can be used for more fine grained control over the caches or for > debugging builds where separate slabs can verify that no objects leak. > The slab_nomerge boot option is too coarse and would need to be > enabled on all testing hosts. There are some other ways how to disable > merging, e.g. a slab constructor but this disables poisoning besides > that it adds additional overhead. Other flags are internal and may > have other semantics. > A concrete example what motivates the flag.

But on closer inspection, the part about flags being only relevant if cache has no available objects is misleading. The slab user has no reliable way to determine if there are available objects, and e.g. the might_sleep() debug check can be performed even if objects are available, so passing correct flags given the allocation context always matters. Thus remove that sentence completely, and while at it, move the comment to from SLAB-specific mm/slab.c to the common include/linux/slab.h The comment otherwise refers flags description for kmalloc(), so add __GFP_ZERO comment there and remove a very misleading GFP_HIGHUSER (not applicable to slab) description from there. Mention kzalloc() and kmem_cache_zalloc() shortcuts.

mm/slab: remove !CONFIG_TRACING variants of kmalloc_[node_]trace() For !CONFIG_TRACING kernels, the kmalloc() implementation tries (in cases where the allocation size is build-time constant) to save a function call, by inlining kmalloc_trace() to a kmem_cache_alloc() call. However since commit 6edf2576a6cc ("mm/slub: enable debugging memory wasting of kmalloc") this path now fails to pass the original request size to be eventually recorded (for kmalloc caches with debugging enabled). We could adjust the code to call __kmem_cache_alloc_node() as the CONFIG_TRACING variant, but that would as a result inline a call with 5 parameters, bloating the kmalloc() call sites. The cost of extra function call (to kmalloc_trace()) seems like a lesser evil. It also appears that the !CONFIG_TRACING variant is incompatible with upcoming hardening efforts [1] so it's easier if we just remove it now. Kernels with no tracing are rare these days and the benefit is dubious anyway.

kasan: only define kasan_cache_create for Generic mode Right now, kasan_cache_create() assigns SLAB_KASAN for all KASAN modes and then sets up metadata-related cache parameters for the Generic mode. SLAB_KASAN is used in two places: 1. In slab_ksize() to account for per-object metadata when calculating the size of the accessible memory within the object. 2. In slab_common.c via kasan_never_merge() to prevent merging of caches with per-object metadata. Both cases are only relevant when per-object metadata is present, which is only the case with the Generic mode. Thus, assign SLAB_KASAN and define kasan_cache_create() only for the Generic mode. Also update the SLAB_KASAN-related comment.

slab: Introduce kmalloc_size_roundup() In the effort to help the compiler reason about buffer sizes, the __alloc_size attribute was added to allocators. This improves the scope of the compiler's ability to apply CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS and (in the near future) CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE. For most allocations, this works well, as the vast majority of callers are not expecting to use more memory than what they asked for. There is, however, one common exception to this: anticipatory resizing of kmalloc allocations. These cases all use ksize() to determine the actual bucket size of a given allocation (e.g. 128 when 126 was asked for). This comes in two styles in the kernel: 1) An allocation has been determined to be too small, and needs to be resized. Instead of the caller choosing its own next best size, it wants to minimize the number of calls to krealloc(), so it just uses ksize() plus some additional bytes, forcing the realloc into the next bucket size, from which it can learn how large it is now. For example: data = krealloc(data, ksize(data) + 1, gfp); data_len = ksize(data); 2) The minimum size of an allocation is calculated, but since it may grow in the future, just use all the space available in the chosen bucket immediately, to avoid needing to reallocate later. A good example of this is skbuff's allocators: data = kmalloc_reserve(size, gfp_mask, node, &pfmemalloc); ... /* kmalloc(size) might give us more room than requested. * Put skb_shared_info exactly at the end of allocated zone, * to allow max possible filling before reallocation. */ osize = ksize(data); size = SKB_WITH_OVERHEAD(osize); In both cases, the "how much was actually allocated?" question is answered _after_ the allocation, where the compiler hinting is not in an easy place to make the association any more. This mismatch between the compiler's view of the buffer length and the code's intention about how much it is going to actually use has already caused problems[1]. It is possible to fix this by reordering the use of the "actual size" information. We can serve the needs of users of ksize() and still have accurate buffer length hinting for the compiler by doing the bucket size calculation _before_ the allocation. Code can instead ask "how large an allocation would I get for a given size?". Introduce kmalloc_size_roundup(), to serve this function so we can start replacing the "anticipatory resizing" uses of ksize().

slab: Remove __malloc attribute from realloc functions The __malloc attribute should not be applied to "realloc" functions, as the returned pointer may alias the storage of the prior pointer. Instead of splitting __malloc from __alloc_size, which would be a huge amount of churn, just create __realloc_size for the few cases where it is needed. Thanks to Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org> for reporting build failures with gcc-8 in earlier version which tried to remove the #ifdef. While the "alloc_size" attribute is available on all GCC versions, I forgot that it gets disabled explicitly by the kernel in GCC < 9.1 due to misbehaviors.

mm/slub: enable debugging memory wasting of kmalloc kmalloc's API family is critical for mm, with one nature that it will round up the request size to a fixed one (mostly power of 2). Say when user requests memory for '2^n + 1' bytes, actually 2^(n+1) bytes could be allocated, so in worst case, there is around 50% memory space waste. The wastage is not a big issue for requests that get allocated/freed quickly, but may cause problems with objects that have longer life time. We've met a kernel boot OOM panic (v5.10), and from the dumped slab info: [ 26.062145] kmalloc-2k 814056KB 814056KB From debug we found there are huge number of 'struct iova_magazine', whose size is 1032 bytes (1024 + 8), so each allocation will waste 1016 bytes. Though the issue was solved by giving the right (bigger) size of RAM, it is still nice to optimize the size (either use a kmalloc friendly size or create a dedicated slab for it). And from lkml archive, there was another crash kernel OOM case [1] back in 2019, which seems to be related with the similar slab waste situation, as the log is similar: [ 4.332648] iommu: Adding device 0000:20:02.0 to group 16 [ 4.338946] swapper/0 invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x6040c0(GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_COMP), nodemask=(null), order=0, oom_score_adj=0 ... [ 4.857565] kmalloc-2048 59164KB 59164KB The crash kernel only has 256M memory, and 59M is pretty big here. (Note: the related code has been changed and optimised in recent kernel [2], these logs are just picked to demo the problem, also a patch changing its size to 1024 bytes has been merged) So add an way to track each kmalloc's memory waste info, and leverage the existing SLUB debug framework (specifically SLUB_STORE_USER) to show its call stack of original allocation, so that user can evaluate the waste situation, identify some hot spots and optimize accordingly, for a better utilization of memory. The waste info is integrated into existing interface: '/sys/kernel/debug/slab/kmalloc-xx/alloc_traces', one example of 'kmalloc-4k' after boot is: 126 ixgbe_alloc_q_vector+0xbe/0x830 [ixgbe] waste=233856/1856 age=280763/281414/282065 pid=1330 cpus=32 nodes=1 __kmem_cache_alloc_node+0x11f/0x4e0 __kmalloc_node+0x4e/0x140 ixgbe_alloc_q_vector+0xbe/0x830 [ixgbe] ixgbe_init_interrupt_scheme+0x2ae/0xc90 [ixgbe] ixgbe_probe+0x165f/0x1d20 [ixgbe] local_pci_probe+0x78/0xc0 work_for_cpu_fn+0x26/0x40 ... which means in 'kmalloc-4k' slab, there are 126 requests of 2240 bytes which got a 4KB space (wasting 1856 bytes each and 233856 bytes in total), from ixgbe_alloc_q_vector(). And when system starts some real workload like multiple docker instances, there could are more severe waste.

kfence: add sysfs interface to disable kfence for selected slabs. By default kfence allocation can happen for any slab object, whose size is up to PAGE_SIZE, as long as that allocation is the first allocation after expiration of kfence sample interval. But in certain debugging scenarios we may be interested in debugging corruptions involving some specific slub objects like dentry or ext4_* etc. In such cases limiting kfence for allocations involving only specific slub objects will increase the probablity of catching the issue since kfence pool will not be consumed by other slab objects. This patch introduces a sysfs interface '/sys/kernel/slab/<name>/skip_kfence' to disable kfence for specific slabs. Having the interface work in this way does not impact current/default behavior of kfence and allows us to use kfence for specific slabs (when needed) as well. The decision to skip/use kfence is taken depending on whether kmem_cache.flags has (newly introduced) SLAB_SKIP_KFENCE flag set or not.

mm: introduce kmem_cache_alloc_lru We currently allocate scope for every memcg to be able to tracked on every superblock instantiated in the system, regardless of whether that superblock is even accessible to that memcg. These huge memcg counts come from container hosts where memcgs are confined to just a small subset of the total number of superblocks that instantiated at any given point in time. For these systems with huge container counts, list_lru does not need the capability of tracking every memcg on every superblock.

slab: remove __alloc_size attribute from __kmalloc_track_caller Commit c37495d6254c ("slab: add __alloc_size attributes for better bounds checking") added __alloc_size attributes to a bunch of kmalloc function prototypes. Unfortunately the change to __kmalloc_track_caller seems to cause clang to generate broken code and the first time this is called when booting, the box will crash. While the compiler problems are being reworked and attempted to be solved [1], let's just drop the attribute to solve the issue now. Once it is resolved it can be added back.

mm: memcg/slab: create a new set of kmalloc-cg-<n> caches There are currently two problems in the way the objcg pointer array (memcg_data) in the page structure is being allocated and freed. On its allocation, it is possible that the allocated objcg pointer array comes from the same slab that requires memory accounting. If this happens, the slab will never become empty again as there is at least one object left (the obj_cgroup array) in the slab. When it is freed, the objcg pointer array object may be the last one in its slab and hence causes kfree() to be called again. With the right workload, the slab cache may be set up in a way that allows the recursive kfree() calling loop to nest deep enough to cause a kernel stack overflow and panic the system. One way to solve this problem is to split the kmalloc-<n> caches (KMALLOC_NORMAL) into two separate sets - a new set of kmalloc-<n> (KMALLOC_NORMAL) caches for unaccounted objects only and a new set of kmalloc-cg-<n> (KMALLOC_CGROUP) caches for accounted objects only. All the other caches can still allow a mix of accounted and unaccounted objects. With this change, all the objcg pointer array objects will come from KMALLOC_NORMAL caches which won't have their objcg pointer arrays. So both the recursive kfree() problem and non-freeable slab problem are gone. Since both the KMALLOC_NORMAL and KMALLOC_CGROUP caches no longer have mixed accounted and unaccounted objects, this will slightly reduce the number of objcg pointer arrays that need to be allocated and save a bit of memory. On the other hand, creating a new set of kmalloc caches does have the effect of reducing cache utilization. So it is properly a wash. The new KMALLOC_CGROUP is added between KMALLOC_NORMAL and KMALLOC_RECLAIM so that the first for loop in create_kmalloc_caches() will include the newly added caches without change.

mm: Add mem_dump_obj() to print source of memory block There are kernel facilities such as per-CPU reference counts that give error messages in generic handlers or callbacks, whose messages are unenlightening. In the case of per-CPU reference-count underflow, this is not a problem when creating a new use of this facility because in that case the bug is almost certainly in the code implementing that new use. However, trouble arises when deploying across many systems, which might exercise corner cases that were not seen during development and testing. Here, it would be really nice to get some kind of hint as to which of several uses the underflow was caused by. This commit therefore exposes a mem_dump_obj() function that takes a pointer to memory (which must still be allocated if it has been dynamically allocated) and prints available information on where that memory came from. This pointer can reference the middle of the block as well as the beginning of the block, as needed by things like RCU callback functions and timer handlers that might not know where the beginning of the memory block is. These functions and handlers can use mem_dump_obj() to print out better hints as to where the problem might lie. The information printed can depend on kernel configuration. For example, the allocation return address can be printed only for slab and slub, and even then only when the necessary debug has been enabled. For slab, build with CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB=y, and either use sizes with ample space to the next power of two or use the SLAB_STORE_USER when creating the kmem_cache structure. For slub, build with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG=y and boot with slub_debug=U, or pass SLAB_STORE_USER to kmem_cache_create() if more focused use is desired. Also for slub, use CONFIG_STACKTRACE to enable printing of the allocation-time stack trace.

mm: memcg/slab: use a single set of kmem_caches for all allocations Instead of having two sets of kmem_caches: one for system-wide and non-accounted allocations and the second one shared by all accounted allocations, we can use just one. The idea is simple: space for obj_cgroup metadata can be allocated on demand and filled only for accounted allocations. It allows to remove a bunch of code which is required to handle kmem_cache clones for accounted allocations. There is no more need to create them, accumulate statistics, propagate attributes, etc. It's a quite significant simplification. Also, because the total number of slab_caches is reduced almost twice (not all kmem_caches have a memcg clone), some additional memory savings are expected. On my devvm it additionally saves about 3.5% of slab memory.

mm: memcg/slab: use a single set of kmem_caches for all accounted allocations This is fairly big but mostly red patch, which makes all accounted slab allocations use a single set of kmem_caches instead of creating a separate set for each memory cgroup. Because the number of non-root kmem_caches is now capped by the number of root kmem_caches, there is no need to shrink or destroy them prematurely. They can be perfectly destroyed together with their root counterparts. This allows to dramatically simplify the management of non-root kmem_caches and delete a ton of code. This patch performs the following changes: 1) introduces memcg_params.memcg_cache pointer to represent the kmem_cache which will be used for all non-root allocations 2) reuses the existing memcg kmem_cache creation mechanism to create memcg kmem_cache on the first allocation attempt 3) memcg kmem_caches are named <kmemcache_name>-memcg, e.g. dentry-memcg 4) simplifies memcg_kmem_get_cache() to just return memcg kmem_cache or schedule it's creation and return the root cache 5) removes almost all non-root kmem_cache management code (separate refcounter, reparenting, shrinking, etc) 6) makes slab debugfs to display root_mem_cgroup css id and never show :dead and :deact flags in the memcg_slabinfo attribute. Following patches in the series will simplify the kmem_cache creation.

mm, treewide: rename kzfree() to kfree_sensitive() As said by Linus: A symmetric naming is only helpful if it implies symmetries in use. Otherwise it's actively misleading. In "kzalloc()", the z is meaningful and an important part of what the caller wants. In "kzfree()", the z is actively detrimental, because maybe in the future we really _might_ want to use that "memfill(0xdeadbeef)" or something. The "zero" part of the interface isn't even _relevant_. The main reason that kzfree() exists is to clear sensitive information that should not be leaked to other future users of the same memory objects. Rename kzfree() to kfree_sensitive() to follow the example of the recently added kvfree_sensitive() and make the intention of the API more explicit. In addition, memzero_explicit() is used to clear the memory to make sure that it won't get optimized away by the compiler. The renaming is done by using the command sequence: git grep -w --name-only kzfree |\ xargs sed -i 's/kzfree/kfree_sensitive/' followed by some editing of the kfree_sensitive() kerneldoc and adding a kzfree backward compatibility macro in slab.h.

mm, sl[aou]b: guarantee natural alignment for kmalloc(power-of-two) In most configurations, kmalloc() happens to return naturally aligned (i.e. aligned to the block size itself) blocks for power of two sizes. That means some kmalloc() users might unknowingly rely on that alignment, until stuff breaks when the kernel is built with e.g. CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG or CONFIG_SLOB, and blocks stop being aligned. Then developers have to devise workaround such as own kmem caches with specified alignment [1], which is not always practical, as recently evidenced in [2]. The topic has been discussed at LSF/MM 2019 [3]. Adding a 'kmalloc_aligned()' variant would not help with code unknowingly relying on the implicit alignment. For slab implementations it would either require creating more kmalloc caches, or allocate a larger size and only give back part of it. That would be wasteful, especially with a generic alignment parameter (in contrast with a fixed alignment to size). Ideally we should provide to mm users what they need without difficult workarounds or own reimplementations, so let's make the kmalloc() alignment to size explicitly guaranteed for power-of-two sizes under all configurations. What this means for the three available allocators? * SLAB object layout happens to be mostly unchanged by the patch. The implicitly provided alignment could be compromised with CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB due to redzoning, however SLAB disables redzoning for caches with alignment larger than unsigned long long. Practically on at least x86 this includes kmalloc caches as they use cache line alignment, which is larger than that. Still, this patch ensures alignment on all arches and cache sizes. * SLUB layout is also unchanged unless redzoning is enabled through CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG and boot parameter for the particular kmalloc cache. With this patch, explicit alignment is guaranteed with redzoning as well. This will result in more memory being wasted, but that should be acceptable in a debugging scenario. * SLOB has no implicit alignment so this patch adds it explicitly for kmalloc(). The potential downside is increased fragmentation. While pathological allocation scenarios are certainly possible, in my testing, after booting a x86_64 kernel+userspace with virtme, around 16MB memory was consumed by slab pages both before and after the patch, with difference in the noise.

There is no needed to expose it in a public header. So move it from include/linux/slab.h to mm/slab.h. It is just a refactoring patch with no code change. In fact both the slub_def.h and slab_def.h should be moved into the mm directory as well, but that will probably cause many merge conflicts.

mm, memcg: add a memcg_slabinfo debugfs file There are concerns about memory leaks from extensive use of memory cgroups as each memory cgroup creates its own set of kmem caches. There is a possiblity that the memcg kmem caches may remain even after the memory cgroups have been offlined. Therefore, it will be useful to show the status of each of memcg kmem caches. This patch introduces a new <debugfs>/memcg_slabinfo file which is somewhat similar to /proc/slabinfo in format, but lists only information about kmem caches that have child memcg kmem caches. Information available in /proc/slabinfo are not repeated in memcg_slabinfo. A portion of a sample output of the file was: # <name> <css_id[:dead]> <active_objs> <num_objs> <active_slabs> <num_slabs> rpc_inode_cache root 13 51 1 1 rpc_inode_cache 48 0 0 0 0 fat_inode_cache root 1 45 1 1 fat_inode_cache 41 2 45 1 1 xfs_inode root 770 816 24 24 xfs_inode 92 22 34 1 1 xfs_inode 88:dead 1 34 1 1 xfs_inode 89:dead 23 34 1 1 xfs_inode 85 4 34 1 1 xfs_inode 84 9 34 1 1 The css id of the memcg is also listed.

mm: memcg/slab: reparent memcg kmem_caches on cgroup removal Let's reparent non-root kmem_caches on memcg offlining. This allows us to release the memory cgroup without waiting for the last outstanding kernel object (e.g. dentry used by another application). Since the parent cgroup is already charged, everything we need to do is to splice the list of kmem_caches to the parent's kmem_caches list, swap the memcg pointer, drop the css refcounter for each kmem_cache and adjust the parent's css refcounter. Please, note that kmem_cache->memcg_params.memcg isn't a stable pointer anymore. It's safe to read it under rcu_read_lock(), cgroup_mutex held, or any other way that protects the memory cgroup from being released. We can race with the slab allocation and deallocation paths. It's not a big problem: parent's charge and slab global stats are always correct, and we don't care anymore about the child usage and global stats. The child cgroup is already offline, so we don't use or show it anywhere. Local slab stats (NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE and NR_SLAB_UNRECLAIMABLE) aren't used anywhere except count_shadow_nodes(). But even there it won't break anything: after reparenting "nodes" will be 0 on child level (because we're already reparenting shrinker lists), and on parent level page stats always were 0, and this patch won't change anything.

mm: memcg/slab: rework non-root kmem_cache lifecycle management Currently each charged slab page holds a reference to the cgroup to which it's charged. Kmem_caches are held by the memcg and are released all together with the memory cgroup. It means that none of kmem_caches are released unless at least one reference to the memcg exists, which is very far from optimal. Let's rework it in a way that allows releasing individual kmem_caches as soon as the cgroup is offline, the kmem_cache is empty and there are no pending allocations. To make it possible, let's introduce a new percpu refcounter for non-root kmem caches. The counter is initialized to the percpu mode, and is switched to the atomic mode during kmem_cache deactivation. The counter is bumped for every charged page and also for every running allocation. So the kmem_cache can't be released unless all allocations complete. To shutdown non-active empty kmem_caches, let's reuse the work queue, previously used for the kmem_cache deactivation. Once the reference counter reaches 0, let's schedule an asynchronous kmem_cache release. * I used the following simple approach to test the performance (stolen from another patchset by T. Harding): time find / -name fname-no-exist echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches repeat 10 times Results: orig patched real 0m1.455s real 0m1.355s user 0m0.206s user 0m0.219s sys 0m0.855s sys 0m0.807s real 0m1.487s real 0m1.699s user 0m0.221s user 0m0.256s sys 0m0.806s sys 0m0.948s real 0m1.515s real 0m1.505s user 0m0.183s user 0m0.215s sys 0m0.876s sys 0m0.858s real 0m1.291s real 0m1.380s user 0m0.193s user 0m0.198s sys 0m0.843s sys 0m0.786s real 0m1.364s real 0m1.374s user 0m0.180s user 0m0.182s sys 0m0.868s sys 0m0.806s real 0m1.352s real 0m1.312s user 0m0.201s user 0m0.212s sys 0m0.820s sys 0m0.761s real 0m1.302s real 0m1.349s user 0m0.205s user 0m0.203s sys 0m0.803s sys 0m0.792s real 0m1.334s real 0m1.301s user 0m0.194s user 0m0.201s sys 0m0.806s sys 0m0.779s real 0m1.426s real 0m1.434s user 0m0.216s user 0m0.181s sys 0m0.824s sys 0m0.864s real 0m1.350s real 0m1.295s user 0m0.200s user 0m0.190s sys 0m0.842s sys 0m0.811s So it looks like the difference is not noticeable in this test.

mm: add support for kmem caches in DMA32 zone Patch series "iommu/io-pgtable-arm-v7s: Use DMA32 zone for page tables", v6. This is a followup to the discussion in [1], [2]. IOMMUs using ARMv7 short-descriptor format require page tables (level 1 and 2) to be allocated within the first 4GB of RAM, even on 64-bit systems. For L1 tables that are bigger than a page, we can just use __get_free_pages with GFP_DMA32 (on arm64 systems only, arm would still use GFP_DMA). For L2 tables that only take 1KB, it would be a waste to allocate a full page, so we considered 3 approaches: 1. This series, adding support for GFP_DMA32 slab caches. 2. genalloc, which requires pre-allocating the maximum number of L2 page tables (4096, so 4MB of memory). 3. page_frag, which is not very memory-efficient as it is unable to reuse freed fragments until the whole page is freed. [3] This series is the most memory-efficient approach. stable@ note: We confirmed that this is a regression, and IOMMU errors happen on 4.19 and linux-next/master on MT8173 (elm, Acer Chromebook R13). The issue most likely starts from commit ad67f5a6545f ("arm64: replace ZONE_DMA with ZONE_DMA32"), i.e. 4.15, and presumably breaks a number of Mediatek platforms (and maybe others?). [1] https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/iommu/2018-November/030876.html [2] https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/iommu/2018-December/031696.html [3] https://patchwork.codeaurora.org/patch/671639/ This patch (of 3): IOMMUs using ARMv7 short-descriptor format require page tables to be allocated within the first 4GB of RAM, even on 64-bit systems. On arm64, this is done by passing GFP_DMA32 flag to memory allocation functions. For IOMMU L2 tables that only take 1KB, it would be a waste to allocate a full page using get_free_pages, so we considered 3 approaches: 1. This patch, adding support for GFP_DMA32 slab caches. 2. genalloc, which requires pre-allocating the maximum number of L2 page tables (4096, so 4MB of memory). 3. page_frag, which is not very memory-efficient as it is unable to reuse freed fragments until the whole page is freed. This change makes it possible to create a custom cache in DMA32 zone using kmem_cache_create, then allocate memory using kmem_cache_alloc. We do not create a DMA32 kmalloc cache array, as there are currently no users of kmalloc(..., GFP_DMA32). These calls will continue to trigger a warning, as we keep GFP_DMA32 in GFP_SLAB_BUG_MASK. This implies that calls to kmem_cache_*alloc on a SLAB_CACHE_DMA32 kmem_cache must _not_ use GFP_DMA32 (it is anyway redundant and unnecessary).

include/linux/slab.h: fix sparse warning in kmalloc_type() Multiple people have reported the following sparse warning: ./include/linux/slab.h:332:43: warning: dubious: x & !y The minimal fix would be to change the logical & to boolean &&, which emits the same code, but Andrew has suggested that the branch-avoiding tricks are maybe not worthwile. David Laight provided a nice comparison of disassembly of multiple variants, which shows that the current version produces a 4 deep dependency chain, and fixing the sparse warning by changing logical and to multiplication emits an IMUL, making it even more expensive. The code as rewritten by this patch yielded the best disassembly, with a single predictable branch for the most common case, and a ternary operator for the rest, which gcc seems to compile without a branch or cmov by itself. The result should be more readable, without a sparse warning and probably also faster for the common case.

kasan, mm: change hooks signatures 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. [1] https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/dev-tools/kasan.html [2] http://clang.llvm.org/docs/HardwareAssistedAddressSanitizerDesign.html [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.

mm, slab/slub: introduce kmalloc-reclaimable caches Kmem caches can be created with a SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT flag, which indicates they contain objects which can be reclaimed under memory pressure (typically through a shrinker). This makes the slab pages accounted as NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE in vmstat, which is reflected also the MemAvailable meminfo counter and in overcommit decisions. The slab pages are also allocated with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE, which is good for anti-fragmentation through grouping pages by mobility. The generic kmalloc-X caches are created without this flag, but sometimes are used also for objects that can be reclaimed, which due to varying size cannot have a dedicated kmem cache with SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT flag. A prominent example are dcache external names, which prompted the creation of a new, manually managed vmstat counter NR_INDIRECTLY_RECLAIMABLE_BYTES in commit f1782c9bc547 ("dcache: account external names as indirectly reclaimable memory"). To better handle this and any other similar cases, this patch introduces SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT variants of kmalloc caches, named kmalloc-rcl-X. They are used whenever the kmalloc() call passes __GFP_RECLAIMABLE among gfp flags. They are added to the kmalloc_caches array as a new type. Allocations with both __GFP_DMA and __GFP_RECLAIMABLE will use a dma type cache. This change only applies to SLAB and SLUB, not SLOB. This is fine, since SLOB's target are tiny system and this patch does add some overhead of kmem management objects.

mm, slab: combine kmalloc_caches and kmalloc_dma_caches 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: ... kmalloc-rcl-4M 0 0 4194304 1 1024 : tunables 1 1 0 : slabdata 0 0 0 ... kmalloc-rcl-96 7 32 128 32 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 1 1 0 kmalloc-rcl-64 25 128 64 64 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 2 2 0 kmalloc-rcl-32 0 0 32 124 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 0 0 0 kmalloc-4M 0 0 4194304 1 1024 : tunables 1 1 0 : slabdata 0 0 0 kmalloc-2M 0 0 2097152 1 512 : tunables 1 1 0 : slabdata 0 0 0 kmalloc-1M 0 0 1048576 1 256 : tunables 1 1 0 : slabdata 0 0 0 ... /proc/vmstat with renamed nr_indirectly_reclaimable_bytes counter: ... nr_slab_reclaimable 2817 nr_slab_unreclaimable 1781 ... nr_kernel_misc_reclaimable 0 ... /proc/meminfo with new KReclaimable counter: ... Shmem: 564 kB KReclaimable: 11260 kB Slab: 18368 kB SReclaimable: 11260 kB SUnreclaim: 7108 kB KernelStack: 1248 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.

Also remove <linux/kmemleak.h> from source files that do not use it. This is tested on i386 allmodconfig and x86_64 allmodconfig. It would be good to run it through the 0day bot for other $ARCHes. I have neither the horsepower nor the storage space for the other $ARCHes. Update: This patch has been extensively build-tested by both the 0day bot & kisskb/ozlabs build farms. Both of them reported 2 build failures for which patches are included here (in v2). [ slab.h is the second most used header file after module.h; kernel.h is right there with slab.h. There could be some minor error in the counting due to some #includes having comments after them and I didn't combine all of those. ] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: security/keys/big_key.c needs vmalloc.h, per sfr] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/e4309f98-3749-93e1-4bb7-d9501a39d015@infradead.org Link: http://kisskb.ellerman.id.au/kisskb/head/13396/ Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@infradead.org> Reviewed-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Reported-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> [2 build failures] Reported-by: Fengguang Wu <fengguang.wu@intel.com> [2 build failures] Reviewed-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Wei Yongjun <weiyongjun1@huawei.com> Cc: Luis R.

It is therefore better to use unsigned variables 2) Some integers in the code are either "size_t" or "unsigned long" for no reason. size_t usually comes from people trying to maintain type correctness and figuring out that "sizeof" operator returns size_t or memset/memcpy takes size_t so should everything passed to it. However the number of 4GB+ objects in the kernel is very small. Most, if not all, dynamically allocated objects with kmalloc() or kmem_cache_create() aren't actually big. Maintaining wide types doesn't do anything. 64-bit ops are bigger than 32-bit on our beloved x86_64, so try to not use 64-bit where it isn't necessary (read: everywhere where integers are integers not pointers) 3) in case of SLAB allocators, there are additional limitations *) page->inuse, page->objects are only 16-/15-bit, *) cache size was always 32-bit *) slab orders are small, order 20 is needed to go 64-bit on x86_64 (PAGE_SIZE << order) Basically everything is 32-bit except kmalloc(1ULL<<32) which gets shortcut through page allocator. Christoph said: : : That changes with large base page size on power and ARM64 f.e. but then : we do not want to encourage larger allocations through slab anyways.

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. Suggested-by: Matthew Garrett <mjg59@google.com> Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>

usercopy: Prepare for usercopy whitelisting 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: Total Slab Memory: 48074720 Usercopyable Memory: 6367532 13.2% task_struct 0.2% 4480/1630720 RAW 0.3% 300/96000 RAWv6 2.1% 1408/64768 ext4_inode_cache 3.0% 269760/8740224 dentry 11.1% 585984/5273856 mm_struct 29.1% 54912/188448 kmalloc-8 100.0% 24576/24576 kmalloc-16 100.0% 28672/28672 kmalloc-32 100.0% 81920/81920 kmalloc-192 100.0% 96768/96768 kmalloc-128 100.0% 143360/143360 names_cache 100.0% 163840/163840 kmalloc-64 100.0% 167936/167936 kmalloc-256 100.0% 339968/339968 kmalloc-512 100.0% 350720/350720 kmalloc-96 100.0% 455616/455616 kmalloc-8192 100.0% 655360/655360 kmalloc-1024 100.0% 812032/812032 kmalloc-4096 100.0% 819200/819200 kmalloc-2048 100.0% 1310720/1310720 After some kernel build workloads, the percentage (mainly driven by dentry and inode caches expanding) drops under 10%: Total Slab Memory: 95516184 Usercopyable Memory: 8497452 8.8% task_struct 0.2% 4000/1456000 RAW 0.3% 300/96000 RAWv6 2.1% 1408/64768 ext4_inode_cache 3.0% 1217280/39439872 dentry 11.1% 1623200/14608800 mm_struct 29.1% 73216/251264 kmalloc-8 100.0% 24576/24576 kmalloc-16 100.0% 28672/28672 kmalloc-32 100.0% 94208/94208 kmalloc-192 100.0% 96768/96768 kmalloc-128 100.0% 143360/143360 names_cache 100.0% 163840/163840 kmalloc-64 100.0% 245760/245760 kmalloc-256 100.0% 339968/339968 kmalloc-512 100.0% 350720/350720 kmalloc-96 100.0% 563520/563520 kmalloc-8192 100.0% 655360/655360 kmalloc-1024 100.0% 794624/794624 kmalloc-4096 100.0% 819200/819200 kmalloc-2048 100.0% 1257472/1257472 Signed-off-by: David Windsor <dave@nullcore.net> [kees: adjust commit log, split out a few extra kmalloc hunks] [kees: add field names to function declarations] [kees: convert BUGs to WARNs and fail closed] [kees: add attack surface reduction analysis to commit log] Cc: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: linux-mm@kvack.org Cc: linux-xfs@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Acked-by: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com>

mm: remove __GFP_COLD As the page free path makes no distinction between cache hot and cold pages, there is no real useful ordering of pages in the free list that allocation requests can take advantage of. Juding from the users of __GFP_COLD, it is likely that a number of them are the result of copying other sites instead of actually measuring the impact. Remove the __GFP_COLD parameter which simplifies a number of paths in the page allocator. This is potentially controversial but bear in mind that the size of the per-cpu pagelists versus modern cache sizes means that the whole per-cpu list can often fit in the L3 cache. Hence, there is only a potential benefit for microbenchmarks that alloc/free pages in a tight loop. It's even worse when THP is taken into account which has little or no chance of getting a cache-hot page as the per-cpu list is bypassed and the zeroing of multiple pages will thrash the cache anyway. The truncate microbenchmarks are not shown as this patch affects the allocation path and not the free path. A page fault microbenchmark was tested but it showed no sigificant difference which is not surprising given that the __GFP_COLD branches are a miniscule percentage of the fault path.

include/linux/slab.h: add kmalloc_array_node() and kcalloc_node() Patch series "Add kmalloc_array_node() and kcalloc_node()". Our current memeory allocation routines suffer form an API imbalance, for one we have kmalloc_array() and kcalloc() which check for overflows in size multiplication and we have kmalloc_node() and kzalloc_node() which allow for memory allocation on a certain NUMA node but don't check for eventual overflows. This patch (of 6): We have kmalloc_array() and kcalloc() wrappers on top of kmalloc() which ensure us overflow free multiplication for the size of a memory allocation but these implementations are not NUMA-aware. Likewise we have kmalloc_node() which is a NUMA-aware version of kmalloc() but the implementation is not aware of any possible overflows in eventual size calculations. Introduce a combination of the two above cases to have a NUMA-node aware version of kmalloc_array() and kcalloc().

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.

This is a bit unfortunate because there is no way to express the same semantic for those requests and they are considered too important to fail so they might end up looping in the page allocator for ever, similarly to GFP_NOFAIL requests. Now that the whole tree has been cleaned up and accidental or misled usage of __GFP_REPEAT flag has been removed for !costly requests we can give the original flag a better name and more importantly a more useful semantic. Let's rename it to __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL which tells the user that the allocator would try really hard but there is no promise of a success. This will work independent of the order and overrides the default allocator behavior. Page allocator users have several levels of guarantee vs. cost options (take GFP_KERNEL as an example) - GFP_KERNEL & ~__GFP_RECLAIM - optimistic allocation without _any_ attempt to free memory at all. The most light weight mode which even doesn't kick the background reclaim. Should be used carefully because it might deplete the memory and the next user might hit the more aggressive reclaim - GFP_KERNEL & ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM (or GFP_NOWAIT)- optimistic allocation without any attempt to free memory from the current context but can wake kswapd to reclaim memory if the zone is below the low watermark. Can be used from either atomic contexts or when the request is a performance optimization and there is another fallback for a slow path. - (GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_HIGH) & ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM (aka GFP_ATOMIC) - non sleeping allocation with an expensive fallback so it can access some portion of memory reserves. Usually used from interrupt/bh context with an expensive slow path fallback. - GFP_KERNEL - both background and direct reclaim are allowed and the _default_ page allocator behavior is used. That means that !costly allocation requests are basically nofail but there is no guarantee of that behavior so failures have to be checked properly by callers (e.g. OOM killer victim is allowed to fail currently). - GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NORETRY - overrides the default allocator behavior and all allocation requests fail early rather than cause disruptive reclaim (one round of reclaim in this implementation). The OOM killer is not invoked. - GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL - overrides the default allocator behavior and all allocation requests try really hard. The request will fail if the reclaim cannot make any progress. The OOM killer won't be triggered. - GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NOFAIL - overrides the default allocator behavior and all allocation requests will loop endlessly until they succeed. This might be really dangerous especially for larger orders. Existing users of __GFP_REPEAT are changed to __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL because they already had their semantic. No new users are added. __alloc_pages_slowpath is changed to bail out for __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL if there is no progress and we have already passed the OOM point. This means that all the reclaim opportunities have been exhausted except the most disruptive one (the OOM killer) and a user defined fallback behavior is more sensible than keep retrying in the page allocator.

mm: Rename SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU 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. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

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

slab: implement slab_root_caches list 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_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 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. 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.

It, however, points to another problem, that SLUB defines KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE too large because the its KMALLOC_SHIFT_MAX is (MAX_ORDER + PAGE_SHIFT) which means that the resulting page allocator request might be MAX_ORDER which is too large (see __alloc_pages_slowpath). The same applies to the SLOB allocator which allows even larger sizes. Make sure that they are capped properly and never request more than MAX_ORDER order.

mm: Hardened usercopy This is the start of porting PAX_USERCOPY into the mainline kernel. This is the first set of features, controlled by CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY. The work is based on code by PaX Team and Brad Spengler, and an earlier port from Casey Schaufler. Additional non-slab page tests are from Rik van Riel. This patch contains the logic for validating several conditions when performing copy_to_user() and copy_from_user() on the kernel object being copied to/from: - address range doesn't wrap around - address range isn't NULL or zero-allocated (with a non-zero copy size) - if on the slab allocator: - object size must be less than or equal to copy size (when check is implemented in the allocator, which appear in subsequent patches) - otherwise, object must not span page allocations (excepting Reserved and CMA ranges) - if on the stack - object must not extend before/after the current process stack - object must be contained by a valid stack frame (when there is arch/build support for identifying stack frames) - object must not overlap with kernel text Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Tested-by: Valdis Kletnieks <valdis.kletnieks@vt.edu> Tested-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

This helps gcc generate better code by telling it that the return value doesn't alias any existing pointers (which is even more valuable given the pessimizations implied by -fno-strict-aliasing).

mm: new API kfree_bulk() for SLAB+SLUB allocators 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.

slab: add SLAB_ACCOUNT flag 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 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.

slab.h: sprinkle __assume_aligned attributes The various allocators return aligned memory. Telling the compiler that allows it to generate better code in many cases, for example when the return value is immediately passed to memset(). Some code does become larger, but at least we win twice as much as we lose: $ scripts/bloat-o-meter /tmp/vmlinux vmlinux add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 13/52 up/down: 995/-2140 (-1145) An example of the different (and smaller) code can be seen in mm_alloc(). Before: : 48 8d 78 08 lea 0x8(%rax),%rdi : 48 89 c1 mov %rax,%rcx : 48 89 c2 mov %rax,%rdx : 48 c7 00 00 00 00 00 movq $0x0,(%rax) : 48 c7 80 48 03 00 00 movq $0x0,0x348(%rax) : 00 00 00 00 : 31 c0 xor %eax,%eax : 48 83 e7 f8 and $0xfffffffffffffff8,%rdi : 48 29 f9 sub %rdi,%rcx : 81 c1 50 03 00 00 add $0x350,%ecx : c1 e9 03 shr $0x3,%ecx : f3 48 ab rep stos %rax,%es:(%rdi) After: : 48 89 c2 mov %rax,%rdx : b9 6a 00 00 00 mov $0x6a,%ecx : 31 c0 xor %eax,%eax : 48 89 d7 mov %rdx,%rdi : f3 48 ab rep stos %rax,%es:(%rdi) So gcc's strategy is to do two possibly (but not really, of course) unaligned stores to the first and last word, then do an aligned rep stos covering the middle part with a little overlap. Maybe arches which do not allow unaligned stores gain even more. I don't know if gcc can actually make use of alignments greater than 8 for anything, so one could probably drop the __assume_xyz_alignment macros and just use __assume_aligned(8). The increases in code size are mostly caused by gcc deciding to opencode strlen() using the check-four-bytes-at-a-time trick when it knows the buffer is sufficiently aligned (one function grew by 200 bytes). Now it turns out that many of these strlen() calls showing up were in fact redundant, and they're gone from -next. Applying the two patches to next-20151001 bloat-o-meter instead says add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 6/52 up/down: 244/-2140 (-1896) Signed-off-by: Rasmus Villemoes <linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk> Acked-by: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org> Cc: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

slab: infrastructure for bulk object allocation and freeing 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).

Fix kmalloc slab creation sequence This patch restores the slab creation sequence that was broken by commit 4066c33d0308f8 and also reverts the portions that introduced the KMALLOC_LOOP_XXX macros. Those can never really work since the slab creation is much more complex than just going from a minimum to a maximum number. The latest upstream kernel boots cleanly on my machine with a 64 bit x86 configuration under KVM using either SLAB or SLUB.

mm: slub: add kernel address sanitizer support for slub allocator With this patch kasan will be able to catch bugs in memory allocated by slub. Initially all objects in newly allocated slab page, marked as redzone. Later, when allocation of slub object happens, requested by caller number of bytes marked as accessible, and the rest of the object (including slub's metadata) marked as redzone (inaccessible). We also mark object as accessible if ksize was called for this object. There is some places in kernel where ksize function is called to inquire size of really allocated area. Such callers could validly access whole allocated memory, so it should be marked as accessible. Code in slub.c and slab_common.c files could validly access to object's metadata, so instrumentation for this files are disabled.

slab: link memcg caches of the same kind into a list Sometimes, we need to iterate over all memcg copies of a particular root kmem cache. Currently, we use memcg_cache_params->memcg_caches array for that, because it contains all existing memcg caches. However, it's a bad practice to keep all caches, including those that belong to offline cgroups, in this array, because it will be growing beyond any bounds then. I'm going to wipe away dead caches from it to save space. To still be able to perform iterations over all memcg caches of the same kind, let us link them into a list.

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.

memcg: zap memcg_slab_caches and memcg_slab_mutex mem_cgroup->memcg_slab_caches is a list of kmem caches corresponding to the given cgroup. Currently, it is only used on css free in order to destroy all caches corresponding to the memory cgroup being freed. The list is protected by memcg_slab_mutex. The mutex is also used to protect kmem_cache->memcg_params->memcg_caches arrays and synchronizes kmem_cache_destroy vs memcg_unregister_all_caches. However, we can perfectly get on without these two. To destroy all caches corresponding to a memory cgroup, we can walk over the global list of kmem caches, slab_caches, and we can do all the synchronization stuff using the slab_mutex instead of the memcg_slab_mutex. This patch therefore gets rid of the memcg_slab_caches and memcg_slab_mutex. Apart from this nice cleanup, it also: - assures that rcu_barrier() is called once at max when a root cache is destroyed or a memory cgroup is freed, no matter how many caches have SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU flag set; - fixes the race between kmem_cache_destroy and kmem_cache_create that exists, because memcg_cleanup_cache_params, which is called from kmem_cache_destroy after checking that kmem_cache->refcount=0, releases the slab_mutex, which gives kmem_cache_create a chance to make an alias to a cache doomed to be destroyed.

memcg: fix possible use-after-free in memcg_kmem_get_cache() Suppose task @t that belongs to a memory cgroup @memcg is going to allocate an object from a kmem cache @c. The copy of @c corresponding to @memcg, @mc, is empty. Then if kmem_cache_alloc races with the memory cgroup destruction we can access the memory cgroup's copy of the cache after it was destroyed: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- [ current=@t @mc->memcg_params->nr_pages=0 ] kmem_cache_alloc(@c): call memcg_kmem_get_cache(@c); proceed to allocation from @mc: alloc a page for @mc: ... move @t from @memcg destroy @memcg: mem_cgroup_css_offline(@memcg): memcg_unregister_all_caches(@memcg): kmem_cache_destroy(@mc) add page to @mc We could fix this issue by taking a reference to a per-memcg cache, but that would require adding a per-cpu reference counter to per-memcg caches, which would look cumbersome. Instead, let's take a reference to a memory cgroup, which already has a per-cpu reference counter, in the beginning of kmem_cache_alloc to be dropped in the end, and move per memcg caches destruction from css offline to css free. As a side effect, per-memcg caches will be destroyed not one by one, but all at once when the last page accounted to the memory cgroup is freed. This doesn't sound as a high price for code readability though. Note, this patch does add some overhead to the kmem_cache_alloc hot path, but it is pretty negligible - it's just a function call plus a per cpu counter decrement, which is comparable to what we already have in memcg_kmem_get_cache. Besides, it's only relevant if there are memory cgroups with kmem accounting enabled. I don't think we can find a way to handle this race w/o it, because alloc_page called from kmem_cache_alloc may sleep so we can't flush all pending kmallocs w/o reference counting.

memcg: use generic slab iterators for showing slabinfo Let's use generic slab_start/next/stop for showing memcg caches info. In contrast to the current implementation, this will work even if all memcg caches' info doesn't fit into a seq buffer (a page), plus it simply looks neater. Actually, the main reason I do this isn't mere cleanup. I'm going to zap the memcg_slab_caches list, because I find it useless provided we have the slab_caches list, and this patch is a step in this direction. It should be noted that before this patch an attempt to read memory.kmem.slabinfo of a cgroup that doesn't have kmem limit set resulted in -EIO, while after this patch it will silently show nothing except the header, but I don't think it will frustrate anyone.

If they are disabled, we could save one argument passing overhead by calling __kmalloc(_node)(). But, I think that it would be marginal. Furthermore, default slab allocator, SLUB, doesn't use this technique so I think that it's okay to change this situation.

Therfore, move it to slab_common.c and move kmem_cache definition to internal header. After this change, we can change kmem_cache definition easily without full kernel build.

memcg, slab: simplify synchronization scheme At present, we have the following mutexes protecting data related to per memcg kmem caches: - slab_mutex. This one is held during the whole kmem cache creation and destruction paths. We also take it when updating per root cache memcg_caches arrays (see memcg_update_all_caches). As a result, taking it guarantees there will be no changes to any kmem cache (including per memcg). Why do we need something else then? The point is it is private to slab implementation and has some internal dependencies with other mutexes (get_online_cpus). So we just don't want to rely upon it and prefer to introduce additional mutexes instead. - activate_kmem_mutex. Initially it was added to synchronize initializing kmem limit (memcg_activate_kmem). However, since we can grow per root cache memcg_caches arrays only on kmem limit initialization (see memcg_update_all_caches), we also employ it to protect against memcg_caches arrays relocation (e.g. see __kmem_cache_destroy_memcg_children). - We have a convention not to take slab_mutex in memcontrol.c, but we want to walk over per memcg memcg_slab_caches lists there (e.g. for destroying all memcg caches on offline). So we have per memcg slab_caches_mutex's protecting those lists. The mutexes are taken in the following order: activate_kmem_mutex -> slab_mutex -> memcg::slab_caches_mutex Such a syncrhonization scheme has a number of flaws, for instance: - We can't call kmem_cache_{destroy,shrink} while walking over a memcg::memcg_slab_caches list due to locking order. As a result, in mem_cgroup_destroy_all_caches we schedule the memcg_cache_params::destroy work shrinking and destroying the cache. - We don't have a mutex to synchronize per memcg caches destruction between memcg offline (mem_cgroup_destroy_all_caches) and root cache destruction (__kmem_cache_destroy_memcg_children). Currently we just don't bother about it. This patch simplifies it by substituting per memcg slab_caches_mutex's with the global memcg_slab_mutex. It will be held whenever a new per memcg cache is created or destroyed, so it protects per root cache memcg_caches arrays and per memcg memcg_slab_caches lists. The locking order is following: activate_kmem_mutex -> memcg_slab_mutex -> slab_mutex This allows us to call kmem_cache_{create,shrink,destroy} under the memcg_slab_mutex. As a result, we don't need memcg_cache_params::destroy work any more - we can simply destroy caches while iterating over a per memcg slab caches list. Also using the global mutex simplifies synchronization between concurrent per memcg caches creation/destruction, e.g. mem_cgroup_destroy_all_caches vs __kmem_cache_destroy_memcg_children. The downside of this is that we substitute per-memcg slab_caches_mutex's with a hummer-like global mutex, but since we already take either the slab_mutex or the cgroup_mutex along with a memcg::slab_caches_mutex, it shouldn't hurt concurrency a lot.

memcg, slab: do not schedule cache destruction when last page goes away This patchset is a part of preparations for kmemcg re-parenting. It targets at simplifying kmemcg work-flows and synchronization. First, it removes async per memcg cache destruction (see patches 1, 2). Now caches are only destroyed on memcg offline. That means the caches that are not empty on memcg offline will be leaked. However, they are already leaked, because memcg_cache_params::nr_pages normally never drops to 0 so the destruction work is never scheduled except kmem_cache_shrink is called explicitly. In the future I'm planning reaping such dead caches on vmpressure or periodically. Second, it substitutes per memcg slab_caches_mutex's with the global memcg_slab_mutex, which should be taken during the whole per memcg cache creation/destruction path before the slab_mutex (see patch 3). This greatly simplifies synchronization among various per memcg cache creation/destruction paths. I'm still not quite sure about the end picture, in particular I don't know whether we should reap dead memcgs' kmem caches periodically or try to merge them with their parents (see https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/20/38 for more details), but whichever way we choose, this set looks like a reasonable change to me, because it greatly simplifies kmemcg work-flows and eases further development. This patch (of 3): After a memcg is offlined, we mark its kmem caches that cannot be deleted right now due to pending objects as dead by setting the memcg_cache_params::dead flag, so that memcg_release_pages will schedule cache destruction (memcg_cache_params::destroy) as soon as the last slab of the cache is freed (memcg_cache_params::nr_pages drops to zero). I guess the idea was to destroy the caches as soon as possible, i.e. immediately after freeing the last object. However, it just doesn't work that way, because kmem caches always preserve some pages for the sake of performance, so that nr_pages never gets to zero unless the cache is shrunk explicitly using kmem_cache_shrink. Of course, we could account the total number of objects on the cache or check if all the slabs allocated for the cache are empty on kmem_cache_free and schedule destruction if so, but that would be too costly. Thus we have a piece of code that works only when we explicitly call kmem_cache_shrink, but complicates the whole picture a lot. Moreover, it's racy in fact. For instance, kmem_cache_shrink may free the last slab and thus schedule cache destruction before it finishes checking that the cache is empty, which can lead to use-after-free. So I propose to remove this async cache destruction from memcg_release_pages, and check if the cache is empty explicitly after calling kmem_cache_shrink instead. This will simplify things a lot w/o introducing any functional changes. And regarding dead memcg caches (i.e. those that are left hanging around after memcg offline for they have objects), I suppose we should reap them either periodically or on vmpressure as Glauber suggested initially. I'm going to implement this later.

mm: get rid of __GFP_KMEMCG Currently to allocate a page that should be charged to kmemcg (e.g. threadinfo), we pass __GFP_KMEMCG flag to the page allocator. The page allocated is then to be freed by free_memcg_kmem_pages. Apart from looking asymmetrical, this also requires intrusion to the general allocation path. So let's introduce separate functions that will alloc/free pages charged to kmemcg. The new functions are called alloc_kmem_pages and free_kmem_pages. They should be used when the caller actually would like to use kmalloc, but has to fall back to the page allocator for the allocation is large. They only differ from alloc_pages and free_pages in that besides allocating or freeing pages they also charge them to the kmem resource counter of the current memory cgroup.

This commit fixes the situation by using KMALLOC_MIN_SIZE, instead of KMALLOC_SHIFT_LOW. KMALLOC_SHIFT_LOW is parsed to ilog2() on some architecture and this ilog2() uses __builtin_constant_p() and results in the problem.

mm: fix GFP_THISNODE callers and clarify GFP_THISNODE is for callers that implement their own clever fallback to remote nodes. It restricts the allocation to the specified node and does not invoke reclaim, assuming that the caller will take care of it when the fallback fails, e.g. through a subsequent allocation request without GFP_THISNODE set. However, many current GFP_THISNODE users only want the node exclusive aspect of the flag, without actually implementing their own fallback or triggering reclaim if necessary. This results in things like page migration failing prematurely even when there is easily reclaimable memory available, unless kswapd happens to be running already or a concurrent allocation attempt triggers the necessary reclaim. Convert all callsites that don't implement their own fallback strategy to __GFP_THISNODE. This restricts the allocation a single node too, but at the same time allows the allocator to enter the slowpath, wake kswapd, and invoke direct reclaim if necessary, to make the allocation happen when memory is full.

slab: restrict the number of objects in a slab To prepare to implement byte sized index for managing the freelist of a slab, we should restrict the number of objects in a slab to be less or equal to 256, since byte only represent 256 different values. Setting the size of object to value equal or more than newly introduced SLAB_OBJ_MIN_SIZE ensures that the number of objects in a slab is less or equal to 256 for a slab with 1 page. If page size is rather larger than 4096, above assumption would be wrong. In this case, we would fall back on 2 bytes sized index. If minimum size of kmalloc is less than 16, we use it as minimum object size and give up this optimization.

Another issue is that the documentation for kmalloc_node() refers to kcalloc()'s documentation to describe its 'flags' parameter, while kcalloc() refered to kmalloc()'s documentation, which doesn't exist! This patch is a proposed fix for this. It also removes the documentation for kmalloc() in include/linux/slob_def.h which isn't included to generate the documentation anyway. This way, kmalloc() is described in only one place.

slab: propagate tunable values SLAB allows us to tune a particular cache behavior with tunables. When creating a new memcg cache copy, we'd like to preserve any tunables the parent cache already had. This could be done by an explicit call to do_tune_cpucache() after the cache is created. But this is not very convenient now that the caches are created from common code, since this function is SLAB-specific. Another method of doing that is taking advantage of the fact that do_tune_cpucache() is always called from enable_cpucache(), which is called at cache initialization. We can just preset the values, and then things work as expected. 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. This change will require us to move the assignment of root_cache in memcg_params a bit earlier. We need this to be already set - which memcg_kmem_register_cache will do - when we reach __kmem_cache_create() Signed-off-by: Glauber Costa <glommer@parallels.com> Cc: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@redhat.com> Cc: Greg Thelen <gthelen@google.com> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: JoonSoo Kim <js1304@gmail.com> Cc: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Mel Gorman <mel@csn.ul.ie> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> Cc: Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: Suleiman Souhlal <suleiman@google.com> Cc: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

When the slub allocator is being used, it will only merge caches that belong to the same memcg. We'll do this by scanning the global list, and then translating the cache to a memcg-specific cache Default function is created as a wrapper, passing NULL to the memcg version. We only merge caches that belong to the same memcg. A helper is provided, memcg_css_id: because slub needs a unique cache name for sysfs. Since this is visible, but not the canonical location for slab data, the cache name is not used, the css_id should suffice.

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).

kmemcheck: add mm functions With kmemcheck enabled, the slab allocator needs to do this: 1. Tell kmemcheck to allocate the shadow memory which stores the status of each byte in the allocation proper, e.g. whether it is initialized or uninitialized. 2. Tell kmemcheck which parts of memory that should be marked uninitialized. There are actually a few more states, such as "not yet allocated" and "recently freed". If a slab cache is set up using the SLAB_NOTRACK flag, it will never return memory that can take page faults because of kmemcheck. If a slab cache is NOT set up using the SLAB_NOTRACK flag, callers can still request memory with the __GFP_NOTRACK flag. This does not prevent the page faults from occuring, however, but marks the object in question as being initialized so that no warnings will ever be produced for this object. In addition to (and in contrast to) __GFP_NOTRACK, the __GFP_NOTRACK_FALSE_POSITIVE flag indicates that the allocation should not be tracked _because_ it would produce a false positive. Their values are identical, but need not be so in the future (for example, we could now enable/disable false positives with a config option).

slab,slub: don't enable interrupts during early boot As explained by Benjamin Herrenschmidt: Oh and btw, your patch alone doesn't fix powerpc, because it's missing a whole bunch of GFP_KERNEL's in the arch code... You would have to grep the entire kernel for things that check slab_is_available() and even then you'll be missing some. For example, slab_is_available() didn't always exist, and so in the early days on powerpc, we used a mem_init_done global that is set form mem_init() (not perfect but works in practice). And we still have code using that to do the test. Therefore, mask out __GFP_WAIT, __GFP_IO, and __GFP_FS in the slab allocators in early boot code to avoid enabling interrupts.

slab: introduce kzfree() kzfree() is a wrapper for kfree() that additionally zeroes the underlying memory before releasing it to the slab allocator. Currently there is code which memset()s the memory region of an object before releasing it back to the slab allocator to make sure security-sensitive data are really zeroed out after use. These callsites can then just use kzfree() which saves some code, makes users greppable and allows for a stupid destructor that isn't necessarily aware of the actual object size.

When something like updatedb is called, long-lived and unmovable kernel allocations tend to be spread throughout the address space which increases fragmentation. This patch groups these allocations together as much as possible by adding a new MIGRATE_TYPE.

slob: initial NUMA support This adds preliminary NUMA support to SLOB, primarily aimed at systems with small nodes (tested all the way down to a 128kB SRAM block), whether asymmetric or otherwise. We follow the same conventions as SLAB/SLUB, preferring current node placement for new pages, or with explicit placement, if a node has been specified. Presently on UP NUMA this has the side-effect of preferring node#0 allocations (since numa_node_id() == 0, though this could be reworked if we could hand off a pfn to determine node placement), so single-CPU NUMA systems will want to place smaller nodes further out in terms of node id. Once a page has been bound to a node (via explicit node id typing), we only do block allocations from partial free pages that have a matching node id in the page flags. The current implementation does have some scalability problems, in that all partial free pages are tracked in the global freelist (with contention due to the single spinlock). However, these are things that are being reworked for SMP scalability first, while things like per-node freelists can easily be built on top of this sort of functionality once it's been added.

Slab allocators: define common size limitations Currently we have a maze of configuration variables that determine the maximum slab size. Worst of all it seems to vary between SLAB and SLUB. So define a common maximum size for kmalloc. For conveniences sake we use the maximum size ever supported which is 32 MB. We limit the maximum size to a lower limit if MAX_ORDER does not allow such large allocations. For many architectures this patch will have the effect of adding large kmalloc sizes. x86_64 adds 5 new kmalloc sizes. So a small amount of memory will be needed for these caches (contemporary SLAB has dynamically sizeable node and cpu structure so the waste is less than in the past) Most architectures will then be able to allocate object with sizes up to MAX_ORDER. We have had repeated breakage (in fact whenever we doubled the number of supported processors) on IA64 because one or the other struct grew beyond what the slab allocators supported. This will avoid future issues and f.e. avoid fixes for 2k and 4k cpu support. CONFIG_LARGE_ALLOCS is no longer necessary so drop it. It fixes sparc64 with SLAB.

In particular given that the slab allocators run with interrupts disabled. Actions in constructors and destructors are by their nature very limited and usually do not go beyond initializing variables and list operations. (The i386 pgd ctor and dtors do take a spinlock in constructor and destructor..... I think that is the furthest we go at this point.)

slab allocators: Remove SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL flag I have never seen a use of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL. It is only supported by SLAB. I think its purpose was to have a callback after an object has been freed to verify that the state is the constructor state again? The callback is performed before each freeing of an object. I would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually before the free. That also places the check near the code object manipulation of the object. Also the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was compiled with SLAB debugging on. If there would be code in a constructor handling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on SLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code. But there is no such code in the kernel. I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real use of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the same effect (i.e. add debug code before kfree). There is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be clear in fs inode caches. Remove the pointless checks (they would even be pointless without removeal of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL) from the fs constructors. This is the last slab flag that SLUB did not support. Remove the check for unimplemented flags from SLUB.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab.

[PATCH] Cleanup slab headers / API to allow easy addition of new slab allocators This is a response to an earlier discussion on linux-mm about splitting slab.h components per allocator. Patch is against 2.6.19-git11. See http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-mm&m=116469577431008&w=2 This patch cleans up the slab header definitions. We define the common functions of slob and slab in slab.h and put the extra definitions needed for slab's kmalloc implementations in <linux/slab_def.h>. In order to get a greater set of common functions we add several empty functions to slob.c and also rename slob's kmalloc to __kmalloc. Slob does not need any special definitions since we introduce a fallback case. If there is no need for a slab implementation to provide its own kmalloc mess^H^H^Hacros then we simply fall back to __kmalloc functions. That is sufficient for SLOB. Sort the function in slab.h according to their functionality. First the functions operating on struct kmem_cache * then the kmalloc related functions followed by special debug and fallback definitions. Also redo a lot of comments.

[PATCH] copy_process: cleanup bad_fork_cleanup_signal __exit_signal() does important cleanups atomically under ->siglock. It is also called from copy_process's error path. This is not good, for example we can't move __unhash_process() under ->siglock for that reason. We should not mix these 2 paths, just look at ugly 'if (p->sighand)' under 'bad_fork_cleanup_sighand:' label. For copy_process() case it is sufficient to just backout copy_signal(), nothing more. Again, nobody can see this task yet. For CLONE_THREAD case we just decrement signal->count, otherwise nobody can see this ->signal and we can free it lockless.

[PATCH] cpuset memory spread slab cache implementation Provide the slab cache infrastructure to support cpuset memory spreading. See the previous patches, cpuset_mem_spread, for an explanation of cpuset memory spreading. This patch provides a slab cache SLAB_MEM_SPREAD flag. If set in the kmem_cache_create() call defining a slab cache, then any task marked with the process state flag PF_MEMSPREAD will spread memory page allocations for that cache over all the allowed nodes, instead of preferring the local (faulting) node. On systems not configured with CONFIG_NUMA, this results in no change to the page allocation code path for slab caches. On systems with cpusets configured in the kernel, but the "memory_spread" cpuset option not enabled for the current tasks cpuset, this adds a call to a cpuset routine and failed bit test of the processor state flag PF_SPREAD_SLAB. For tasks so marked, a second inline test is done for the slab cache flag SLAB_MEM_SPREAD, and if that is set and if the allocation is not in_interrupt(), this adds a call to to a cpuset routine that computes which of the tasks mems_allowed nodes should be preferred for this allocation. ==> This patch adds another hook into the performance critical code path to allocating objects from the slab cache, in the ____cache_alloc() chunk, below. The next patch optimizes this hook, reducing the impact of the combined mempolicy plus memory spreading hooks on this critical code path to a single check against the tasks task_struct flags word. This patch provides the generic slab flags and logic needed to apply memory spreading to a particular slab. A subsequent patch will mark a few specific slab caches for this placement policy.

[PATCH] slab: Remove SLAB_NO_REAP option SLAB_NO_REAP is documented as an option that will cause this slab not to be reaped under memory pressure. However, that is not what happens. The only thing that SLAB_NO_REAP controls at the moment is the reclaim of the unused slab elements that were allocated in batch in cache_reap(). Cache_reap() is run every few seconds independently of memory pressure. Could we remove the whole thing? Its only used by three slabs anyways and I cannot find a reason for having this option. There is an additional problem with SLAB_NO_REAP. If set then the recovery of objects from alien caches is switched off. Objects not freed on the same node where they were initially allocated will only be reused if a certain amount of objects accumulates from one alien node (not very likely) or if the cache is explicitly shrunk. (Strangely __cache_shrink does not check for SLAB_NO_REAP) Getting rid of SLAB_NO_REAP fixes the problems with alien cache freeing.

[PATCH] slab: fix kzalloc and kstrdup caller report for CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB Fix kzalloc() and kstrdup() caller report for CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB. We must pass the caller to __cache_alloc() instead of directly doing __builtin_return_address(0) there; otherwise kzalloc() and kstrdup() are reported as the allocation site instead of the real one. Thanks to Valdis Kletnieks for reporting the problem and Steven Rostedt for the original idea.

[PATCH] slob: introduce the SLOB allocator configurable replacement for slab allocator This adds a CONFIG_SLAB option under CONFIG_EMBEDDED. When CONFIG_SLAB is disabled, the kernel falls back to using the 'SLOB' allocator. SLOB is a traditional K&R/UNIX allocator with a SLAB emulation layer, similar to the original Linux kmalloc allocator that SLAB replaced. It's signicantly smaller code and is more memory efficient. But like all similar allocators, it scales poorly and suffers from fragmentation more than SLAB, so it's only appropriate for small systems. It's been tested extensively in the Linux-tiny tree. I've also stress-tested it with make -j 8 compiles on a 3G SMP+PREEMPT box (not recommended). Here's a comparison for otherwise identical builds, showing SLOB saving nearly half a megabyte of RAM: $ size vmlinux* text data bss dec hex filename 3336372 529360 190812 4056544 3de5e0 vmlinux-slab 3323208 527948 190684 4041840 3dac70 vmlinux-slob $ size mm/{slab,slob}.o text data bss dec hex filename 13221 752 48 14021 36c5 mm/slab.o 1896 52 8 1956 7a4 mm/slob.o /proc/meminfo: SLAB SLOB delta MemTotal: 27964 kB 27980 kB +16 kB MemFree: 24596 kB 25092 kB +496 kB Buffers: 36 kB 36 kB 0 kB Cached: 1188 kB 1188 kB 0 kB SwapCached: 0 kB 0 kB 0 kB Active: 608 kB 600 kB -8 kB Inactive: 808 kB 812 kB +4 kB HighTotal: 0 kB 0 kB 0 kB HighFree: 0 kB 0 kB 0 kB LowTotal: 27964 kB 27980 kB +16 kB LowFree: 24596 kB 25092 kB +496 kB SwapTotal: 0 kB 0 kB 0 kB SwapFree: 0 kB 0 kB 0 kB Dirty: 4 kB 12 kB +8 kB Writeback: 0 kB 0 kB 0 kB Mapped: 560 kB 556 kB -4 kB Slab: 1756 kB 0 kB -1756 kB CommitLimit: 13980 kB 13988 kB +8 kB Committed_AS: 4208 kB 4208 kB 0 kB PageTables: 28 kB 28 kB 0 kB VmallocTotal: 1007312 kB 1007312 kB 0 kB VmallocUsed: 48 kB 48 kB 0 kB VmallocChunk: 1007264 kB 1007264 kB 0 kB (this work has been sponsored in part by CELF) From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Fix 32-bitness bugs in mm/slob.c.

[PATCH] gfp flags annotations - part 1 - added typedef unsigned int __nocast gfp_t; - replaced __nocast uses for gfp flags with gfp_t - it gives exactly the same warnings as far as sparse is concerned, doesn't change generated code (from gcc point of view we replaced unsigned int with typedef) and documents what's going on far better.

[PATCH] add kmalloc_node, inline cleanup The patch makes the following function calls available to allocate memory on a specific node without changing the basic operation of the slab allocator: kmem_cache_alloc_node(kmem_cache_t *cachep, unsigned int flags, int node); kmalloc_node(size_t size, unsigned int flags, int node); in a similar way to the existing node-blind functions: kmem_cache_alloc(kmem_cache_t *cachep, unsigned int flags); kmalloc(size, flags); kmem_cache_alloc_node was changed to pass flags and the node information through the existing layers of the slab allocator (which lead to some minor rearrangements). The functions at the lowest layer (kmem_getpages, cache_grow) are already node aware. Also __alloc_percpu can call kmalloc_node now.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2 Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
