2016-07-28mm, kasan: switch SLUB to stackdepot, enable memory quarantine for SLUBAlexander Potapenko1-1/+2
For KASAN builds: - switch SLUB allocator to using stackdepot instead of storing the allocation/deallocation stacks in the objects; - change the freelist hook so that parts of the freelist can be put into the quarantine.

2016-07-26mm: reorganize SLAB freelist randomizationThomas Garnier1-1/+1
The kernel heap allocators are using a sequential freelist making their allocation predictable. This predictability makes kernel heap overflow easier to exploit. An attacker can careful prepare the kernel heap to control the following chunk overflowed. For example these attacks exploit the predictability of the heap: - Linux Kernel CAN SLUB overflow (https://goo.gl/oMNWkU) - Exploiting Linux Kernel Heap corruptions (http://goo.gl/EXLn95) ***Problems that needed solving: - Randomize the Freelist (singled linked) used in the SLUB allocator. - Ensure good performance to encourage usage. - Get best entropy in early boot stage. ***Parts: - 01/02 Reorganize the SLAB Freelist randomization to share elements with the SLUB implementation. - 02/02 The SLUB Freelist randomization implementation. Similar approach than the SLAB but tailored to the singled freelist used in SLUB. ***Performance data: slab_test impact is between 3% to 4% on average for 100000 attempts without smp. It is a very focused testing, kernbench show the overall impact on the system is way lower. Before: Single thread testing ===================== 1.

2016-05-19mm: SLAB freelist randomizationThomas Garnier1-0/+4
Provides an optional config (CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM) to randomize the SLAB freelist. The list is randomized during initialization of a new set of pages. The order on different freelist sizes is pre-computed at boot for performance. Each kmem_cache has its own randomized freelist. Before pre-computed lists are available freelists are generated dynamically. This security feature reduces the predictability of the kernel SLAB allocator against heap overflows rendering attacks much less stable. For example this attack against SLUB (also applicable against SLAB) would be affected: https://jon.oberheide.org/blog/2010/09/10/linux-kernel-can-slub-overflow/ Also, since v4.6 the freelist was moved at the end of the SLAB. It means a controllable heap is opened to new attacks not yet publicly discussed. A kernel heap overflow can be transformed to multiple use-after-free. This feature makes this type of attack harder too. To generate entropy, we use get_random_bytes_arch because 0 bits of entropy is available in the boot stage. In the worse case this function will fallback to the get_random_bytes sub API. We also generate a shift random number to shift pre-computed freelist for each new set of pages. The config option name is not specific to the SLAB as this approach will be extended to other allocators like SLUB. Performance results highlighted no major changes: Hackbench (running 90 10 times): Before average: 0.0698 After average: 0.0663 (-5.01%) slab_test 1 run on boot. Difference only seen on the 2048 size test being the worse case scenario covered by freelist randomization. New slab pages are constantly being created on the 10000 allocations. Variance should be mainly due to getting new pages every few allocations. Before: Single thread testing ===================== 1.

2016-03-15mm/slab: alternative implementation for DEBUG_SLAB_LEAKJoonsoo Kim1-0/+3
DEBUG_SLAB_LEAK is a debug option. It's current implementation requires status buffer so we need more memory to use it. And, it cause kmem_cache initialization step more complex. To remove this extra memory usage and to simplify initialization step, this patch implement this feature with another way. When user requests to get slab object owner information, it marks that getting information is started. And then, all free objects in caches are flushed to corresponding slab page. Now, we can distinguish all freed object so we can know all allocated objects, too. After collecting slab object owner information on allocated objects, mark is checked that there is no free during the processing. If true, we can be sure that our information is correct so information is returned to user. Although this way is rather complex, it has two important benefits mentioned above. So, I think it is worth changing. There is one drawback that it takes more time to get slab object owner information but it is just a debug option so it doesn't matter at all. To help review, this patch implements new way only. Following patch will remove useless code.

2015-02-12slab: embed memcg_cache_params to kmem_cacheVladimir Davydov1-1/+1
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.

2014-10-09mm/slab: use percpu allocator for cpu cacheJoonsoo Kim1-17/+3
Because of chicken and egg problem, initialization of SLAB is really complicated. We need to allocate cpu cache through SLAB to make the kmem_cache work, but before initialization of kmem_cache, allocation through SLAB is impossible. On the other hand, SLUB does initialization in a more simple way. It uses percpu allocator to allocate cpu cache so there is no chicken and egg problem. So, this patch try to use percpu allocator in SLAB. This simplifies the initialization step in SLAB so that we could maintain SLAB code more easily. In my testing there is no performance difference. This implementation relies on percpu allocator. Because percpu allocator uses vmalloc address space, vmalloc address space could be exhausted by this change on many cpu system with *32 bit* kernel. This implementation can cover 1024 cpus in worst case by following calculation. Worst: 1024 cpus * 4 bytes for pointer * 300 kmem_caches * 120 objects per cpu_cache = 140 MB Normal: 1024 cpus * 4 bytes for pointer * 150 kmem_caches(slab merge) * 80 objects per cpu_cache = 46 MB Signed-off-by: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com> Acked-by: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Cc: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: Jeremiah Mahler <jmmahler@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2014-01-21reciprocal_divide: update/correction of the algorithmHannes Frederic Sowa1-1/+3
Jakub Zawadzki noticed that some divisions by reciprocal_divide() were not correct [1][2], which he could also show with BPF code after divisions are transformed into reciprocal_value() for runtime invariance which can be passed to reciprocal_divide() later on; reverse in BPF dump ended up with a different, off-by-one K in some situations. This has been fixed by Eric Dumazet in commit aee636c4809fa5 ("bpf: do not use reciprocal divide"). This follow-up patch improves reciprocal_value() and reciprocal_divide() to work in all cases by using Granlund and Montgomery method, so that also future use is safe and without any non-obvious side-effects. Known problems with the old implementation were that division by 1 always returned 0 and some off-by-ones when the dividend and divisor where very large. This seemed to not be problematic with its current users, as far as we can tell. Eric Dumazet checked for the slab usage, we cannot surely say so in the case of flex_array. Still, in order to fix that, we propose an extension from the original implementation from commit 6a2d7a955d8d resp. [3][4], by using the algorithm proposed in "Division by Invariant Integers Using Multiplication" [5], Torbjörn Granlund and Peter L. Montgomery, that is, pseudocode for q = n/d where q, n, d is in u32 universe: 1) Initialization: int l = ceil(log_2 d) uword m' = floor((1<<32)*((1<<l)-d)/d)+1 int sh_1 = min(l,1) int sh_2 = max(l-1,0) 2) For q = n/d, all uword: uword t = (n*m')>>32 q = (t+((n-t)>>sh_1))>>sh_2 The assembler implementation from Agner Fog [6] also helped a lot while implementing. We have tested the implementation on x86_64, ppc64, i686, s390x; on x86_64/haswell we're still half the latency compared to normal divide. Joint work with Daniel Borkmann.

2013-10-24slab: use struct page for slab managementJoonsoo Kim1-2/+2
Now, there are a few field in struct slab, so we can overload these over struct page. This will save some memory and reduce cache footprint. After this change, slabp_cache and slab_size no longer related to a struct slab, so rename them as freelist_cache and freelist_size. These changes are just mechanical ones and there is no functional change.

2013-09-04mm/sl[aou]b: Move kmallocXXX functions to common codeChristoph Lameter1-106/+0
The kmalloc* functions of all slab allcoators are similar now so lets move them into slab.h. This requires some function naming changes in slob. As a results of this patch there is a common set of functions for all allocators. Also means that kmalloc_large() is now available in general to perform large order allocations that go directly via the page allocator. kmalloc_large() can be substituted if kmalloc() throws warnings because of too large allocations. kmalloc_large() has exactly the same semantics as kmalloc but can only used for allocations > PAGE_SIZE.

Make slab use the common functions. We can get rid of a lot of old ugly stuff as a results. Among them the sizes array and the weird include/linux/kmalloc_sizes file and some pretty bad #include statements in slab_def.h. The one thing that is different in slab is that the 32 byte cache will also be created for arches that have page sizes larger than 4K. There are numerous smaller allocations that SLOB and SLUB can handle better because of their support for smaller allocation sizes so lets keep the 32 byte slab also for arches with > 4K pages.

2012-12-11slab: Simplify bootstrapChristoph Lameter1-1/+5
The nodelists field in kmem_cache is pointing to the first unused object in the array field when bootstrap is complete. A problem with the current approach is that the statically sized kmem_cache structure use on boot can only contain NR_CPUS entries. If the number of nodes plus the number of cpus is greater then we would overwrite memory following the kmem_cache_boot definition. Increase the size of the array field to ensure that also the node pointers fit into the array field. Once we do that we no longer need the kmem_cache_nodelists array and we can then also use that structure elsewhere.

2012-06-14mm, sl[aou]b: Extract common fields from struct kmem_cacheChristoph Lameter1-4/+6
Define a struct that describes common fields used in all slab allocators. A slab allocator either uses the common definition (like SLOB) or is required to provide members of kmem_cache with the definition given. After that it will be possible to share code that only operates on those fields of kmem_cache. The patch basically takes the slob definition of kmem cache and uses the field namees for the other allocators. It also standardizes the names used for basic object lengths in allocators: object_size Struct size specified at kmem_cache_create. Basically the payload expected to be used by the subsystem. size The size of memory allocator for each object. This size is larger than object_size and includes padding, alignment and extra metadata for each object (f.e. for debugging and rcu).

2012-01-09tracing/mm: Move include of trace/events/kmem.h out of header into slab.cSteven Rostedt1-2/+0
Including trace/events/*.h TRACE_EVENT() macro headers in other headers can cause strange side effects if another trace/event/*.h header includes that header. Having trace/events/kmem.h inside slab_def.h caused a compile error in sparc64 when changes were done to some header files. Moving the kmem.h trace header out of slab.h and into slab.c fixes the problem. Note, both slub.c and slob.c already include the trace/events/kmem.h file. Only slab.c had it missing.

2010-08-11dma-mapping: rename ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to ARCH_DMA_MINALIGNFUJITA Tomonori1-1/+3
Now each architecture has the own dma_get_cache_alignment implementation. dma_get_cache_alignment returns the minimum DMA alignment. Architectures define it as ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN (it's used to make sure that malloc'ed buffer is DMA-safe; the buffer doesn't share a cache with the others). So we can unify dma_get_cache_alignment implementations. This patch: dma_get_cache_alignment() needs to know if an architecture defines ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN or not (needs to know if architecture has DMA alignment restriction). However, slab.h define ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN if architectures doesn't define it. Let's rename ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN. ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN is used only in the internals of slab/slob/slub (except for crypto).

2009-01-27kmalloc: return NULL instead of link failureJeff Mahoney1-8/+2
The SLAB kmalloc with a constant value isn't consistent with the other implementations because it bails out with __you_cannot_kmalloc_that_much rather than returning NULL and properly allowing the caller to fall back to vmalloc or take other action. This doesn't happen with a non-constant value or with SLOB or SLUB. Starting with 2.6.28, I've been seeing build failures on s390x. This is due to init_section_page_cgroup trying to allocate 2.5MB when the max size for a kmalloc on s390x is 2MB. It's failing because the value is constant. The workarounds at the call size are ugly and the caller shouldn't have to change behavior depending on what the backend of the API is. So, this patch eliminates the link failure and returns NULL like the other implementations.

About the node...it seems to always be -1. I don't know why but that shouldn't be difficult to find. I moved linux/tracepoint.h to trace/tracepoint.h as well. I think that would be more easy to find the tracer headers if they are all in their common directory.

2008-12-29kmemtrace: SLAB hooks.Eduard - Gabriel Munteanu1-9/+59
This adds hooks for the SLAB allocator, to allow tracing with kmemtrace. We also convert some inline functions to __always_inline to make sure _RET_IP_, which expands to __builtin_return_address(0), always works as expected.

2008-01-02Unify /proc/slabinfo configurationLinus Torvalds1-3/+0
Both SLUB and SLAB really did almost exactly the same thing for /proc/slabinfo setup, using duplicate code and per-allocator #ifdef's. This just creates a common CONFIG_SLABINFO that is enabled by both SLUB and SLAB, and shares all the setup code. Maybe SLOB will want this some day too.

2007-07-17Slab allocators: Cleanup zeroing allocationsChristoph Lameter1-30/+0
It becomes now easy to support the zeroing allocs with generic inline functions in slab.h. Provide inline definitions to allow the continued use of kzalloc, kmem_cache_zalloc etc but remove other definitions of zeroing functions from the slab allocators and util.c.

2007-07-17Slab allocators: consistent ZERO_SIZE_PTR support and NULL result semanticsChristoph Lameter1-0/+12
Define ZERO_OR_NULL_PTR macro to be able to remove the checks from the allocators. Move ZERO_SIZE_PTR related stuff into slab.h. Make ZERO_SIZE_PTR work for all slab allocators and get rid of the WARN_ON_ONCE(size == 0) that is still remaining in SLAB. Make slub return NULL like the other allocators if a too large memory segment is requested via __kmalloc.

2007-07-16slob: initial NUMA supportPaul Mundt1-0/+4
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.

2006-12-13[PATCH] Cleanup slab headers / API to allow easy addition of new slab allocatorsChristoph Lameter1-0/+100
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.
