Since the SLAB allocator has been removed, so we can clean up the
sl[au]b_$params. With only one slab allocator left, it's better to use the
generic "slab" term instead of "slub" which is an implementation detail,
which is pointed out by Vlastimil Babka. For more information please see
[1]. Hence, we are going to use "slab_$param" as the primary prefix.
This patch is changing the following slab parameters
- slub_max_order
- slub_min_order
- slub_min_objects
- slub_debug
to
- slab_max_order
- slab_min_order
- slab_min_objects
- slab_debug
as the primary slab parameters for all references of them in docs and
comments. But this patch won't change variables and functions inside
slub as we will have wider slub/slab change.
Meanwhile, "slub_$params" can also be passed by command line, which is
to keep backward compatibility. Also mark all "slub_$params" as legacy.
Remove the separate descriptions for slub_[no]merge, append legacy tip
for them at the end of descriptions of slab_[no]merge.

Remove CONFIG_SLAB, CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB, CONFIG_SLAB_DEPRECATED and
everything in Kconfig files and mm/Makefile that depends on those. Since
SLUB is the only remaining allocator, remove the allocator choice, make
CONFIG_SLUB a "def_bool y" for now and remove all explicit dependencies
on SLUB or SLAB as it's now always enabled. Make every option's verbose
name and description refer to "the slab allocator" without refering to
the specific implementation. Do not rename the CONFIG_ option names yet.
Everything under #ifdef CONFIG_SLAB, and mm/slab.c is now dead code, all
code under #ifdef CONFIG_SLUB is now always compiled.

Without EXCLUSIVE_SYSTEM_RAM, users are allowed to map arbitrary
physical memory regions into the userspace via /dev/mem. At the same
time, pages may change their properties (e.g., from anonymous pages to
named pages) while they are still being mapped in the userspace, leading
to "corruption" detected by the page table check.
To avoid these false positives, this patch makes PAGE_TABLE_CHECK
depends on EXCLUSIVE_SYSTEM_RAM. This dependency is understandable
because PAGE_TABLE_CHECK is a hardening technique but /dev/mem without
STRICT_DEVMEM (i.e., !EXCLUSIVE_SYSTEM_RAM) is itself a security
problem.
Even with EXCLUSIVE_SYSTEM_RAM, I/O pages may be still allowed to be
mapped via /dev/mem. However, these pages are always considered as named
pages, so they won't break the logic used in the page table check.

kmemleak-test.c was moved to the samples directory in 1abbef4f51724
("mm,kmemleak-test.c: move kmemleak-test.c to samples dir").
If CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_TEST=m and CONFIG_SAMPLES is unset,
kmemleak-test.c will be unnecessarily compiled.
So move the entry for CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_TEST from mm/Kconfig and add a
new CONFIG_SAMPLE_KMEMLEAK in samples/ to control whether kmemleak-test.c
is built or not.

For tiny systems that have used SLOB until now, SLUB might be
impractical due to its higher memory usage. To help with that, introduce
an option CONFIG_SLUB_TINY that modifies SLUB to use less memory.
This is done by sacrificing scalability, security and debugging
features, therefore not recommended for any system with more than 16MB
RAM.
This commit introduces the option and uses it to set other related
options in a way that reduces memory usage.

Check user page table entries at the time they are added and removed.
Allows to synchronously catch memory corruption issues related to double
mapping.
When a pte for an anonymous page is added into page table, we verify
that this pte does not already point to a file backed page, and vice
versa if this is a file backed page that is being added we verify that
this page does not have an anonymous mapping
We also enforce that read-only sharing for anonymous pages is allowed
(i.e. cow after fork). All other sharing must be for file pages.
Page table check allows to protect and debug cases where "struct page"
metadata became corrupted for some reason. For example, when refcnt or
mapcount become invalid.

CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_ZERO uses the zero pattern instead of 0xAA. It was
introduced by commit 1414c7f4f7d7 ("mm/page_poisoning.c: allow for zero
poisoning"), noting that using zeroes retains the benefit of sanitizing
content of freed pages, with the benefit of not having to zero them again
on alloc, and the downside of making some forms of corruption (stray
writes of NULLs) harder to detect than with the 0xAA pattern. Together
with CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_NO_SANITY it made possible to sanitize the
contents on free without checking it back on alloc.
These days we have the init_on_free() option to achieve sanitization with
zeroes and to save clearing on alloc (and without checking on alloc).
Arguably if someone does choose to check the poison for corruption on
alloc, the savings of not clearing the page are secondary, and it makes
sense to always use the 0xAA poison pattern. Thus, remove the
CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_ZERO option for being redundant.

CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_NO_SANITY skips the check on page alloc whether the
poison pattern was corrupted, suggesting a use-after-free. The motivation
to introduce it in commit 8823b1dbc05f ("mm/page_poison.c: enable
PAGE_POISONING as a separate option") was to simply sanitize freed pages,
optimally together with CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_ZERO.
These days we have an init_on_free=1 boot option, which makes this use
case of page poisoning redundant. For sanitizing, writing zeroes is
sufficient, there is pretty much no benefit from writing the 0xAA poison
pattern to freed pages, without checking it back on alloc. Thus, remove
this option and suggest init_on_free instead in the main config's help.

Page poisoning used to be incompatible with hibernation, as the state of
poisoned pages was lost after resume, thus enabling CONFIG_HIBERNATION
forces CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_NO_SANITY. For the same reason, the
poisoning with zeroes variant CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_ZERO used to disable
hibernation. The latter restriction was removed by commit 1ad1410f632d
("PM / Hibernate: allow hibernation with PAGE_POISONING_ZERO") and
similarly for init_on_free by commit 18451f9f9e58 ("PM: hibernate: fix
crashes with init_on_free=1") by making sure free pages are cleared after
resume.
We can use the same mechanism to instead poison free pages with
PAGE_POISON after resume. This covers both zero and 0xAA patterns. Thus
we can remove the Kconfig restriction that disables page poison sanity
checking when hibernation is enabled.

a) 4 spaces + '---help---'
b) 7 spaces + '---help---'
c) 8 spaces + '---help---'
d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---'
e) 1 tab + '---help---' (correct indentation)

Patch series "Extract DEBUG_WX to shared use".
Some architectures support DEBUG_WX function, it's verbatim from each
others, so extract to mm/Kconfig.debug for shared use.
PPC and ARM ports don't support generic page dumper yet, so we only
refine x86 and arm64 port in this patch series.
For RISC-V port, the DEBUG_WX support depends on other patches which
be merged already:
- RISC-V page table dumper
- Support strict kernel memory permissions for security
This patch (of 4):
Some architectures support DEBUG_WX function, it's verbatim from each
others. Extract to mm/Kconfig.debug for shared use.

The debug_pagealloc functionality is useful to catch buggy page allocator
users that cause e.g. use after free or double free. When page
inconsistency is detected, debugging is often simpler by knowing the call
stack of process that last allocated and freed the page. When page_owner
is also enabled, we record the allocation stack trace, but not freeing.
This patch therefore adds recording of freeing process stack trace to page
owner info, if both page_owner and debug_pagealloc are configured and
enabled. With only page_owner enabled, this info is not useful for the
memory leak debugging use case. dump_page() is adjusted to print the
info. An example result of calling __free_pages() twice may look like
this (note the page last free stack trace):

When debug_pagealloc is enabled, we currently allocate the page_ext
array to mark guard pages with the PAGE_EXT_DEBUG_GUARD flag. Now that
we have the page_type field in struct page, we can use that instead, as
guard pages are neither PageSlab nor mapped to userspace. This reduces
memory overhead when debug_pagealloc is enabled and there are no other
features requiring the page_ext array.

The page allocator checks struct pages for expected state (mapcount,
flags etc) as pages are being allocated (check_new_page()) and freed
(free_pages_check()) to provide some defense against errors in page
allocator users.
Prior commits 479f854a207c ("mm, page_alloc: defer debugging checks of
pages allocated from the PCP") and 4db7548ccbd9 ("mm, page_alloc: defer
debugging checks of freed pages until a PCP drain") this has happened
for order-0 pages as they were allocated from or freed to the per-cpu
caches (pcplists). Since those are fast paths, the checks are now
performed only when pages are moved between pcplists and global free
lists. This however lowers the chances of catching errors soon enough.
In order to increase the chances of the checks to catch errors, the
kernel has to be rebuilt with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM, which also enables
multiple other internal debug checks (VM_BUG_ON() etc), which is
suboptimal when the goal is to catch errors in mm users, not in mm code
itself.
To catch some wrong users of the page allocator we have
CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, which is designed to have virtually no overhead
unless enabled at boot time. Memory corruptions when writing to freed
pages have often the same underlying errors (use-after-free, double free)
as corrupting the corresponding struct pages, so this existing debugging
functionality is a good fit to extend by also perform struct page checks
at least as often as if CONFIG_DEBUG_VM was enabled.
Specifically, after this patch, when debug_pagealloc is enabled on boot,
and CONFIG_DEBUG_VM disabled, pages are checked when allocated from or
freed to the pcplists *in addition* to being moved between pcplists and
free lists. When both debug_pagealloc and CONFIG_DEBUG_VM are enabled,
pages are checked when being moved between pcplists and free lists *in
addition* to when allocated from or freed to the pcplists.
When debug_pagealloc is not enabled on boot, the overhead in fast paths
should be virtually none thanks to the use of static key.

'default n' is the default value for any bool or tristate Kconfig
setting so there is no need to write it explicitly.
Also since commit f467c5640c29 ("kconfig: only write '# CONFIG_FOO
is not set' for visible symbols") the Kconfig behavior is the same
regardless of 'default n' being present or not:
...
One side effect of (and the main motivation for) this change is making
the following two definitions behave exactly the same:
config FOO
bool
config FOO
bool
default n
With this change, neither of these will generate a
'# CONFIG_FOO is not set' line (assuming FOO isn't selected/implied).
That might make it clearer to people that a bare 'default n' is
redundant.

While here, change description of CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_ZERO too, as it's

when not zeroing. Additionally removes a stray "bool" in the Kconfig.

On SPARSEMEM systems page poisoning is enabled after buddy is up,
because of the dependency on page extension init. This causes the pages
released by free_all_bootmem not to be poisoned. This either delays or
misses the identification of some issues because the pages have to
undergo another cycle of alloc-free-alloc for any corruption to be
detected.
Enable page poisoning early by getting rid of the PAGE_EXT_DEBUG_POISON
flag. Since all the free pages will now be poisoned, the flag need not
be verified before checking the poison during an alloc.

because using inline assembly directly.
And cacheflush.h is not a suitable location for rodata-test related
things. Since they were in cacheflush.h, If someone change the state of
CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA_TEST, It cause overhead of kernel build.
To solve the above issues, write arch-independent testcases and move it
to shared location.

PAGE_POISONING_ZERO disables zeroing new pages on alloc, they are
poisoned (zeroed) as they become available.
In the hibernate use case, free pages will appear in the system without
being cleared, left there by the loading kernel.
This patch will make sure free pages are cleared on resume when
PAGE_POISONING_ZERO is enabled. We free the pages just after resume
because we can't do it later: going through any device resume code might
allocate some memory and invalidate the free pages bitmap.
Thus we don't need to disable hibernation when PAGE_POISONING_ZERO is
enabled.

CMA allocation should be guaranteed to succeed by definition, but,
unfortunately, it would be failed sometimes. It is hard to track down
the problem, because it is related to page reference manipulation and we
don't have any facility to analyze it.
This patch adds tracepoints to track down page reference manipulation.
With it, we can find exact reason of failure and can fix the problem.
Following is an example of tracepoint output. (note: this example is
stale version that printing flags as the number. Recent version will
print it as human readable string.)

without this page reference tracepoint facility.

By default, page poisoning uses a poison value (0xaa) on free. If this
is changed to 0, the page is not only sanitized but zeroing on alloc
with __GFP_ZERO can be skipped as well. The tradeoff is that detecting
corruption from the poisoning is harder to detect. This feature also
cannot be used with hibernation since pages are not guaranteed to be
zeroed after hibernation.

Page poisoning is currently set up as a feature if architectures don't
have architecture debug page_alloc to allow unmapping of pages. It has
uses apart from that though. Clearing of the pages on free provides an
increase in security as it helps to limit the risk of information leaks.
Allow page poisoning to be enabled as a separate option independent of
kernel_map pages since the two features do separate work. Because of
how hiberanation is implemented, the checks on alloc cannot occur if
hibernation is enabled. The runtime alloc checks can also be enabled
with an option when !HIBERNATION.

Since commit 031bc5743f158 ("mm/debug-pagealloc: make debug-pagealloc
boottime configurable") CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is by default not adding
any page debugging.
This resulted in several unnoticed bugs, e.g.
https://lkml.kernel.org/g/<569F5E29.3090107@de.ibm.com>
or
https://lkml.kernel.org/g/<56A20F30.4050705@de.ibm.com>
as this behaviour change was not even documented in Kconfig.
Let's provide a new Kconfig symbol that allows to change the default
back to enabled, e.g. for debug kernels. This also makes the change
obvious to kernel packagers.
Let's also change the Kconfig description for CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, to
indicate that there are two stages of overhead.

Until now, debug-pagealloc needs extra flags in struct page, so we need to
recompile whole source code when we decide to use it. This is really
painful, because it takes some time to recompile and sometimes rebuild is
not possible due to third party module depending on struct page. So, we
can't use this good feature in many cases.
Now, we have the page extension feature that allows us to insert extra
flags to outside of struct page. This gets rid of third party module
issue mentioned above. And, this allows us to determine if we need extra
memory for this page extension in boottime. With these property, we can
avoid using debug-pagealloc in boottime with low computational overhead in
the kernel built with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC. This will help our
development process greatly.
This patch is the preparation step to achive above goal. debug-pagealloc
originally uses extra field of struct page, but, after this patch, it will
use field of struct page_ext. Because memory for page_ext is allocated
later than initialization of page allocator in CONFIG_SPARSEMEM, we should
disable debug-pagealloc feature temporarily until initialization of
page_ext. This patch implements this.

When we debug something, we'd like to insert some information to every
page. For this purpose, we sometimes modify struct page itself. But,
this has drawbacks. First, it requires re-compile. This makes us
hesitate to use the powerful debug feature so development process is
slowed down. And, second, sometimes it is impossible to rebuild the
kernel due to third party module dependency. At third, system behaviour
would be largely different after re-compile, because it changes size of
struct page greatly and this structure is accessed by every part of
kernel. Keeping this as it is would be better to reproduce errornous
situation.
This feature is intended to overcome above mentioned problems. This
feature allocates memory for extended data per page in certain place
rather than the struct page itself. This memory can be accessed by the
accessor functions provided by this code. During the boot process, it
checks whether allocation of huge chunk of memory is needed or not. If
not, it avoids allocating memory at all. With this advantage, we can
include this feature into the kernel in default and can avoid rebuild and
solve related problems.
Until now, memcg uses this technique. But, now, memcg decides to embed
their variable to struct page itself and it's code to extend struct page
has been removed. I'd like to use this code to develop debug feature, so
this patch resurrect it.
To help these things to work well, this patch introduces two callbacks for
clients. One is the need callback which is mandatory if user wants to
avoid useless memory allocation at boot-time. The other is optional, init
callback, which is used to do proper initialization after memory is
allocated. Detailed explanation about purpose of these functions is in
code comment. Please refer it.
Others are completely same with previous extension code in memcg.

With CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC configured, the CPU will generate an exception
on access (read,write) to an unallocated page, which permits us to catch
code which corrupts memory. However the kernel is trying to maximise
memory usage, hence there are usually few free pages in the system and
buggy code usually corrupts some crucial data.
This patch changes the buddy allocator to keep more free/protected pages
and to interlace free/protected and allocated pages to increase the
probability of catching corruption.
When the kernel is compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC,
debug_guardpage_minorder defines the minimum order used by the page
allocator to grant a request. The requested size will be returned with
the remaining pages used as guard pages.
The default value of debug_guardpage_minorder is zero: no change from
current behaviour.

CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is now supported by x86, powerpc, sparc64, and
s390. This patch implements it for the rest of the architectures by
filling the pages with poison byte patterns after free_pages() and
verifying the poison patterns before alloc_pages().
This generic one cannot detect invalid page accesses immediately but
invalid read access may cause invalid dereference by poisoned memory and
invalid write access can be detected after a long delay.
