2011-10-31lib/string.c: introduce memchr_inv()Akinobu Mita
memchr_inv() is mainly used to check whether the whole buffer is filled with just a specified byte. The function name and prototype are stolen from logfs and the implementation is from SLUB.

2011-09-27mm: restrict access to slab files under procfs and sysfsVasiliy Kulikov
Historically /proc/slabinfo and files under /sys/kernel/slab/* have world read permissions and are accessible to the world. slabinfo contains rather private information related both to the kernel and userspace tasks. Depending on the situation, it might reveal either private information per se or information useful to make another targeted attack. Some examples of what can be learned by reading/watching for /proc/slabinfo entries: 1) dentry (and different *inode*) number might reveal other processes fs activity. The number of dentry "active objects" doesn't strictly show file count opened/touched by a process, however, there is a good correlation between them. The patch "proc: force dcache drop on unauthorized access" relies on the privacy of dentry count. 2) different inode entries might reveal the same information as (1), but these are more fine granted counters. If a filesystem is mounted in a private mount point (or even a private namespace) and fs type differs from other mounted fs types, fs activity in this mount point/namespace is revealed. If there is a single ecryptfs mount point, the whole fs activity of a single user is revealed. Number of files in ecryptfs mount point is a private information per se. 3) fuse_* reveals number of files / fs activity of a user in a user private mount point. It is approx. the same severity as ecryptfs infoleak in (2). 4) sysfs_dir_cache similar to (2) reveals devices' addition/removal, which can be otherwise hidden by "chmod 0700 /sys/". With 0444 slabinfo the precise number of sysfs files is known to the world. 5) buffer_head might reveal some kernel activity. With other information leaks an attacker might identify what specific kernel routines generate buffer_head activity. 6) *kmalloc* infoleaks are very situational. Attacker should watch for the specific kmalloc size entry and filter the noise related to the unrelated kernel activity. If an attacker has relatively silent victim system, he might get rather precise counters. Additional information sources might significantly increase the slabinfo infoleak benefits. E.g. if an attacker knows that the processes activity on the system is very low (only core daemons like syslog and cron), he may run setxid binaries / trigger local daemon activity / trigger network services activity / await sporadic cron jobs activity / etc. and get rather precise counters for fs and network activity of these privileged tasks, which is unknown otherwise. Also hiding slabinfo and /sys/kernel/slab/* is a one step to complicate exploitation of kernel heap overflows (and possibly, other bugs). The related discussion: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1108378 To keep compatibility with old permission model where non-root monitoring daemon could watch for kernel memleaks though slabinfo one should do: groupadd slabinfo usermod -a -G slabinfo $MONITOR_USER And add the following commands to init scripts (to mountall.conf in Ubuntu's upstart case): chmod g+r /proc/slabinfo /sys/kernel/slab/*/* chgrp slabinfo /proc/slabinfo /sys/kernel/slab/*/* Signed-off-by: Vasiliy Kulikov <segoon@openwall.com> Reviewed-by: Kees Cook <kees@ubuntu.com> Reviewed-by: Dave Hansen <dave@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: Christoph Lameter <cl@gentwo.org> Acked-by: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> CC: Valdis.Kletnieks@vt.edu CC: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> CC: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org>

2011-08-27slub: add slab with one free object to partial list tailShaohua Li
The slab has just one free object, adding it to partial list head doesn't make sense. And it can cause lock contentation. For example, 1. CPU takes the slab from partial list 2. fetch an object 3. switch to another slab 4. free an object, then the slab is added to partial list again In this way n->list_lock will be heavily contended. In fact, Alex had a hackbench regression. 3.1-rc1 performance drops about 70% against 3.0. This patch fixes it.

2011-08-19slub: per cpu cache for partial pagesChristoph Lameter
Allow filling out the rest of the kmem_cache_cpu cacheline with pointers to partial pages. The partial page list is used in slab_free() to avoid per node lock taking. In __slab_alloc() we can then take multiple partial pages off the per node partial list in one go reducing node lock pressure. We can also use the per cpu partial list in slab_alloc() to avoid scanning partial lists for pages with free objects. The main effect of a per cpu partial list is that the per node list_lock is taken for batches of partial pages instead of individual ones. Potential future enhancements: 1. The pickup from the partial list could be perhaps be done without disabling interrupts with some work. The free path already puts the page into the per cpu partial list without disabling interrupts. 2. __slab_free() may have some code paths that could use optimization.

There is no need to mask gfpflags in __slab_alloc in particular since most frequent processing in __slab_alloc does not require the use of a gfpmask.

2011-08-19slub: free slabs without holding locksChristoph Lameter
There are two situations in which slub holds a lock while releasing pages: A. During kmem_cache_shrink() B. During kmem_cache_close() For A build a list while holding the lock and then release the pages later. In case of B we are the last remaining user of the slab so there is no need to take the listlock. After this patch all calls to the page allocator to free pages are done without holding any spinlocks. kmem_cache_destroy() will still hold the slub_lock semaphore.

2011-08-09slub: Fix partial count comparison confusionChristoph Lameter
deactivate_slab() has the comparison if more than the minimum number of partial pages are in the partial list wrong. An effect of this may be that empty pages are not freed from deactivate_slab(). The result could be an OOM due to growth of the partial slabs per node. Frees mostly occur from __slab_free which is okay so this would only affect use cases where a lot of switching around of per cpu slabs occur. Switching per cpu slabs occurs with high frequency if debugging options are enabled.

2011-08-09slub: fix check_bytes() for slub debuggingAkinobu Mita
The check_bytes() function is used by slub debugging. It returns a pointer to the first unmatching byte for a character in the given memory area. If the character for matching byte is greater than 0x80, check_bytes() doesn't work. Becuase 64-bit pattern is generated as below. value64 = value | value << 8 | value << 16 | value << 24; value64 = value64 | value64 << 32; The integer promotions are performed and sign-extended as the type of value is u8. The upper 32 bits of value64 is 0xffffffff in the first line, and the second line has no effect. This fixes the 64-bit pattern generation.

2011-07-02slub: Avoid disabling interrupts in free slowpathChristoph Lameter
Disabling interrupts can be avoided now. However, list operation still require disabling interrupts since allocations can occur from interrupt contexts and there is no way to perform atomic list operations. The acquition of the list_lock therefore has to disable interrupts as well. Dropping interrupt handling significantly simplifies the slowpath.

2011-07-02slub: Disable interrupts in free_debug processingChristoph Lameter

2011-07-02slub: Invert locking and avoid slab lockChristoph Lameter
Locking slabs is no longer necesary if the arch supports cmpxchg operations and if no debuggin features are used on a slab. If the arch does not support cmpxchg then we fallback to use the slab lock to do a cmpxchg like operation. The patch also changes the lock order. Slab locks are subsumed to the node lock now. With that approach slab_trylocking is no longer necessary. Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org>

2011-07-02slub: explicit list_lock takingChristoph Lameter
The allocator fastpath rework does change the usage of the list_lock. Remove the list_lock processing from the functions that hide them from the critical sections and move them into those critical sections. This in turn simplifies the support functions (no __ variant needed anymore) and simplifies the lock handling on bootstrap. Inline add_partial since it becomes pretty simple.

2011-07-02slub: Do not use frozen page flag but a bit in the page countersChristoph Lameter

2011-07-02slub: Push irq disable into allocate_slab()Christoph Lameter

2011-06-03slub: always align cpu_slab to honor cmpxchg_double requirementChris Metcalf
On an architecture without CMPXCHG_LOCAL but with DEBUG_VM enabled, the VM_BUG_ON() in __pcpu_double_call_return_bool() will cause an early panic during boot unless we always align cpu_slab properly. In principle we could remove the alignment-testing VM_BUG_ON() for architectures that don't have CMPXCHG_LOCAL, but leaving it in means that new code will tend not to break x86 even if it is introduced on another platform, and it's low cost to require alignment.

2011-05-25slub: Fix double bit unlock in debug modeChristoph Lameter
Commit 442b06bcea23 ("slub: Remove node check in slab_free") added a call to deactivate_slab() in the debug case in __slab_alloc(), which unlocks the current slab used for allocation. Going to the label 'unlock_out' then does it again. Also, in the debug case we do not need all the other processing that the 'unlock_out' path does. We always fall back to the slow path in the debug case. So the tid update is useless. Similarly, ALLOC_SLOWPATH would just be incremented for all allocations. Also a pretty useless thing. So simply restore irq flags and return the object.

2011-05-21slub: Remove node check in slab_freeChristoph Lameter
We can set the page pointing in the percpu structure to NULL to have the same effect as setting c->node to NUMA_NO_NODE. Gets rid of one check in slab_free() that was only used for forcing the slab_free to the slowpath for debugging. We still need to set c->node to NUMA_NO_NODE to force the slab_alloc() fastpath to the slowpath in case of debugging.

2011-05-17slub: avoid label inside conditionalDavid Rientjes
Jumping to a label inside a conditional is considered poor style, especially considering the current organization of __slab_alloc(). This removes the 'load_from_page' label and just duplicates the three lines of code that it uses: c->node = page_to_nid(page); c->page = page; goto load_freelist; since it's probably not worth making this a separate helper function.
