6d6ea1e967 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 ad67f5a654 ("arm64: replace ZONE_DMA
  with ZONE_DMA32"), i.e. 4.15, and presumably breaks a number of Mediatek
  platforms (and maybe others?).

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).

4e45f712d8 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.

0116523cff 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.

====== 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.

====== 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.

1291523f2c 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 f1782c9bc5 ("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.

cc252eae85 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:

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.

92ee383f6d mm: fix race between kmem_cache destroy, create and deactivate
The memcg kmem cache creation and deactivation (SLUB only) is
asynchronous.  If a root kmem cache is destroyed whose memcg cache is in
the process of creation or deactivation, the kernel may crash.

Example of one such crash:
	general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI
	CPU: 1 PID: 1721 Comm: kworker/14:1 Not tainted 4.17.0-smp
	...
	Workqueue: memcg_kmem_cache kmemcg_deactivate_workfn
	RIP: 0010:has_cpu_slab
	...
	Call Trace:
	? on_each_cpu_cond
	__kmem_cache_shrink
	kmemcg_cache_deact_after_rcu
	kmemcg_deactivate_workfn
	process_one_work
	worker_thread
	kthread
	ret_from_fork+0x35/0x40

To fix this race, on root kmem cache destruction, mark the cache as
dying and flush the workqueue used for memcg kmem cache creation and
deactivation.  SLUB's memcg kmem cache deactivation also includes RCU
callback and thus make sure all previous registered RCU callbacks have
completed as well.

514c603249 headers: untangle kmemleak.h from mm.h
Currently <linux/slab.h> #includes <linux/kmemleak.h> for no obvious
reason.  It looks like it's only a convenience, so remove kmemleak.h
from slab.h and add <linux/kmemleak.h> to any users of kmemleak_* that
don't already #include it.  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. ]

Out of curiosity I created 4GB kmem_cache, it oopsed with division by 0.
kmem_cache_create(1UL<<32+1) created 1-byte cache as expected.

This patch start a series of converting SLUB (mostly) to "unsigned int".

1) Most integers in the code are in fact unsigned entities: array
   indexes, lengths, buffer sizes, allocation orders. 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.

2d891fbc3b usercopy: Allow strict enforcement of whitelists
This introduces CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY_FALLBACK to control the
behavior of hardened usercopy whitelist violations. By default, whitelist
violations will continue to WARN() so that any bad or missing usercopy
whitelists can be discovered without being too disruptive.

If this config is disabled at build time or a system is booted with
"slab_common.usercopy_fallback=0", usercopy whitelists will BUG() instead
of WARN(). This is useful for admins that want to use usercopy whitelists
immediately.

8eb8284b41 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:

f4e6e289cb usercopy: Include offset in hardened usercopy report
This refactors the hardened usercopy code so that failure reporting can
happen within the checking functions instead of at the top level. This
simplifies the return value handling and allows more details and offsets
to be included in the report. Having the offset can be much more helpful
in understanding hardened usercopy bugs.

453f85d43f 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.

5799b255c4 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().

b24413180f 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.

dcda9b0471 mm, tree wide: replace __GFP_REPEAT by __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL with more useful semantic
__GFP_REPEAT was designed to allow retry-but-eventually-fail semantic to
the page allocator.  This has been true but only for allocations
requests larger than PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER.  It has been always
ignored for smaller sizes.  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.

5f0d5a3ae7 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.

01fb58bcba 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.

510ded33e0 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().

bc2791f857 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.

9eeadc8b6e slab: reorganize memcg_cache_params
We're going to change how memcg caches are iterated.  In preparation,
clean up and reorganize memcg_cache_params.

* The shared ->list is replaced by ->children in root and
  ->children_node in children.

* ->is_root_cache is removed.  Instead ->root_cache is moved out of
  the child union and now used by both root and children.  NULL
  indicates root cache.  Non-NULL a memcg one.

This patch doesn't cause any observable behavior changes.

Andrey Konovalov has reported the following warning triggered by the

The issue is caused by a lack of size check for the request size in
ep_write_iter which should be fixed.  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.

f5509cc18d 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

48a270554a include/linux: apply __malloc attribute
Attach the malloc attribute to a few allocation functions.  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).

A simple example of what this allows gcc to do can be seen by looking at
the last part of drm_atomic_helper_plane_reset:

	plane->state = kzalloc(sizeof(*plane->state), GFP_KERNEL);

	if (plane->state) {
		plane->state->plane = plane;
		plane->state->rotation = BIT(DRM_ROTATE_0);
	}

which compiles to

    e8 99 bf d6 ff          callq  ffffffff8116d540 <kmem_cache_alloc_trace>
    48 85 c0                test   %rax,%rax
    48 89 83 40 02 00 00    mov    %rax,0x240(%rbx)
    74 11                   je     ffffffff814015c4 <drm_atomic_helper_plane_reset+0x64>
    48 89 18                mov    %rbx,(%rax)
    48 8b 83 40 02 00 00    mov    0x240(%rbx),%rax [*]
    c7 40 40 01 00 00 00    movl   $0x1,0x40(%rax)

With this patch applied, the instruction at [*] is elided, since the
store to plane->state->plane is known to not alter the value of
plane->state.

ca25719551 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.

This does increase the code size a bit, but implementing a separate
kfree_bulk() call would likely increase code size even more.

Below benchmarks cost of alloc+free (obj size 256 bytes) on CPU i7-4790K

230e9fc286 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).

865762a811 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.

94a58c360a 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)

484748f0b6 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).

a9730fca99 Fix kmalloc slab creation sequence
This patch restores the slab creation sequence that was broken by commit
4066c33d03 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.

Fixes: 4066c33d03 ("support the slub_debug boot option")
