mm, page_poison: remove CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_ZERO

2020-12-15T20:13:46+00:00

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.

mm, page_poison: remove CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_NO_SANITY

2020-12-15T20:13:46+00:00

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.

kernel/power: allow hibernation with page_poison sanity checking

2020-12-15T20:13:46+00:00

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.

treewide: replace '---help---' in Kconfig files with 'help'

2020-06-13T16:57:21+00:00

Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over
'---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually
decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances.

This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines,
I also fixed the indentation.

There are a variety of indentation styles found.

  a) 4 spaces + '---help---'
  b) 7 spaces + '---help---'
  c) 8 spaces + '---help---'
  d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---'
  e) 1 tab + '---help---'    (correct indentation)
  f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---'
  g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---'

In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the
following commend:

  $ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/'

mm: add DEBUG_WX support

2020-06-04T03:09:49+00:00

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.

mm, page_owner, debug_pagealloc: save and dump freeing stack trace

2019-09-24T22:54:08+00:00

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):

mm, debug_pagealloc: use a page type instead of page_ext flag

2019-07-12T18:05:43+00:00

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.

mm, page_alloc: more extensive free page checking with debug_pagealloc

2019-07-12T18:05:43+00:00

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.
