2021-04-30mm: page_poison: print page info when corruption is caughtSergei Trofimovich1-2/+4
When page_poison detects page corruption it's useful to see who freed a page recently to have a guess where write-after-free corruption happens. After this change corruption report has extra page data. Example report from real corruption (includes only page_pwner part): pagealloc: memory corruption e00000014cd61d10: 11 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 30 1d d2 ff ff 0f 00 60 ........0......` e00000014cd61d20: b0 1d d2 ff ff 0f 00 60 90 fe 1c 00 08 00 00 20 .......`....... ...

When page poisoning is enabled, it accesses memory that is marked as poisoned by KASAN, which leas to false-positive KASAN reports. Suppress the reports by adding KASAN annotations to unpoison_page() (poison_page() already has them).

2020-12-22kasan, mm: reset tags when accessing metadataAndrey Konovalov1-1/+1
Kernel allocator code accesses metadata for slab objects, that may lie out-of-bounds of the object itself, or be accessed when an object is freed. Such accesses trigger tag faults and lead to false-positive reports with hardware tag-based KASAN. Software KASAN modes disable instrumentation for allocator code via KASAN_SANITIZE Makefile macro, and rely on kasan_enable/disable_current() annotations which are used to ignore KASAN reports. With hardware tag-based KASAN neither of those options are available, as it doesn't use compiler instrumetation, no tag faults are ignored, and MTE is disabled after the first one. Instead, reset tags when accessing metadata (currently only for SLUB).

2020-12-15mm, page_poison: remove CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_NO_SANITYVlastimil Babka1-3/+0
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.

2020-12-15mm, page_poison: use static key more efficientlyVlastimil Babka1-46/+7
Commit 11c9c7edae06 ("mm/page_poison.c: replace bool variable with static key") changed page_poisoning_enabled() to a static key check. However, the function is not inlined, so each check still involves a function call with overhead not eliminated when page poisoning is disabled. Analogically to how debug_pagealloc is handled, this patch converts page_poisoning_enabled() back to boolean check, and introduces page_poisoning_enabled_static() for fast paths. Both functions are inlined. The function kernel_poison_pages() is also called unconditionally and does the static key check inside. Remove it from there and put it to callers. Also split it to two functions kernel_poison_pages() and kernel_unpoison_pages() instead of the confusing bool parameter. Also optimize the check that enables page poisoning instead of debug_pagealloc for architectures without proper debug_pagealloc support. Move the check to init_mem_debugging_and_hardening() to enable a single static key instead of having two static branches in page_poisoning_enabled_static().

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman1-0/+1
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.

2017-05-04mm: enable page poisoning early at bootVinayak Menon1-65/+12
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.

2016-03-16mm/page_poisoning.c: allow for zero poisoningLaura Abbott1-2/+5
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.

2016-03-16mm/page_poison.c: enable PAGE_POISONING as a separate optionLaura Abbott1-0/+173
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.
