| * slub: only IPI CPUs that have per cpu obj to flushGilad Ben-Yossef2012-03-291-1/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | flush_all() is called for each kmem_cache_destroy(). So every cache being destroyed dynamically ends up sending an IPI to each CPU in the system, regardless if the cache has ever been used there. For example, if you close the Infinband ipath driver char device file, the close file ops calls kmem_cache_destroy(). So running some infiniband config tool on one a single CPU dedicated to system tasks might interrupt the rest of the 127 CPUs dedicated to some CPU intensive or latency sensitive task. I suspect there is a good chance that every line in the output of "git grep kmem_cache_destroy linux/ | grep '\->'" has a similar scenario. This patch attempts to rectify this issue by sending an IPI to flush the per cpu objects back to the free lists only to CPUs that seem to have such objects. The check which CPU to IPI is racy but we don't care since asking a CPU without per cpu objects to flush does no damage and as far as I can tell the flush_all by itself is racy against allocs on remote CPUs anyway, so if you required the flush_all to be determinstic, you had to arrange for locking regardless. Without this patch the following artificial test case: $ cd /sys/kernel/slab $ for DIR in *; do cat $DIR/alloc_calls > /dev/null; done produces 166 IPIs on an cpuset isolated CPU. With it it produces none. The code path of memory allocation failure for CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y config was tested using fault injection framework.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sysfs_slab_add() calls various sysfs functions that actually may end up in userspace doing all sorts of things. Release the slub_lock after adding the kmem_cache structure to the list. At that point the address of the kmem_cache is not known so we are guaranteed exlusive access to the following modifications to the kmem_cache structure. If the sysfs_slab_add fails then reacquire the slub_lock to remove the kmem_cache structure from the list.

Adding a prefetch of cache line containing the pointer to next object in slab_alloc() helps a lot in many workloads, in particular on assymetric ones (allocations done on one cpu, frees on another cpus). Added cost is three machine instructions only. Examples on my dual socket quad core ht machine (Intel CPU E5540 @2.53GHz) (16 logical cpus, 2 memory nodes), 64bit kernel.

* | cpuset: mm: reduce large amounts of memory barrier related damage v3Mel Gorman2012-03-221-15/+25
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit c0ff7453bb5c ("cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when changing cpuset's mems") wins a super prize for the largest number of memory barriers entered into fast paths for one commit. [get|put]_mems_allowed is incredibly heavy with pairs of full memory barriers inserted into a number of hot paths. This was detected while investigating at large page allocator slowdown introduced some time after 2.6.32. The largest portion of this overhead was shown by oprofile to be at an mfence introduced by this commit into the page allocator hot path. For extra style points, the commit introduced the use of yield() in an implementation of what looks like a spinning mutex. This patch replaces the full memory barriers on both read and write sides with a sequence counter with just read barriers on the fast path side. This is much cheaper on some architectures, including x86. The main bulk of the patch is the retry logic if the nodemask changes in a manner that can cause a false failure. While updating the nodemask, a check is made to see if a false failure is a risk. If it is, the sequence number gets bumped and parallel allocators will briefly stall while the nodemask update takes place. In a page fault test microbenchmark, oprofile samples from __alloc_pages_nodemask went from 4.53% of all samples to 1.15%.

The actual number of page faults is noticeably improved. For benchmarks like kernel builds, the overall benefit is marginal but the system CPU time is slightly reduced. To test the actual bug the commit fixed I opened two terminals. The first ran within a cpuset and continually ran a small program that faulted 100M of anonymous data. In a second window, the nodemask of the cpuset was continually randomised in a loop. Without the commit, the program would fail every so often (usually within 10 seconds) and obviously with the commit everything worked fine. With this patch applied, it also worked fine so the fix should be functionally equivalent.

* mm,slub,x86: decouple size of struct page from CONFIG_CMPXCHG_LOCALHeiko Carstens2012-01-131-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While implementing cmpxchg_double() on s390 I realized that we don't set CONFIG_CMPXCHG_LOCAL despite the fact that we have support for it. However setting that option will increase the size of struct page by eight bytes on 64 bit, which we certainly do not want. Also, it doesn't make sense that a present cpu feature should increase the size of struct page. Besides that it looks like the dependency to CMPXCHG_LOCAL is wrong and that it should depend on CMPXCHG_DOUBLE instead. This patch: If an architecture supports CMPXCHG_LOCAL this shouldn't result automatically in larger struct pages if the SLUB allocator is used. Instead introduce a new config option "HAVE_ALIGNED_STRUCT_PAGE" which can be selected if a double word aligned struct page is required. Also update x86 Kconfig so that it should work as before.

The former allowed the compiler to not recognize the need to re-load the data in case it had it cached in some register, while the latter was overly destructive. The types of the local copies of the old and new values were incorrect (the types of the pointed-to variables should be used here, to make sure the respective old/new variable types are compatible). The __dummy/__junk variables were pointless, given that local copies of the inputs already existed (and can hence be used for discarded outputs). The 32-bit variant of cmpxchg_double_local() referenced cmpxchg16b_local(). At once also: - change the return value type to what it really is: 'bool' - unify 32- and 64-bit variants - abstract out the common part of the 'normal' and 'local' variants Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@suse.com> Cc: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/4F01F12A020000780006A19B@nat28.tlf.novell.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

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.

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>

This caused the following full list corruption when SLUB debugging was enabled: [ 5913.233035] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 5913.233097] WARNING: at lib/list_debug.c:53 __list_del_entry+0x8d/0x98() [ 5913.233101] Hardware name: Adamo 13 [ 5913.233105] list_del corruption. prev->next should be ffffea000434fd20, but was ffffea0004199520 [ 5913.233108] Modules linked in: nfs fscache fuse ebtable_nat ebtables ppdev parport_pc lp parport ipt_MASQUERADE iptable_nat nf_nat nfsd lockd nfs_acl auth_rpcgss xt_CHECKSUM sunrpc iptable_mangle bridge stp llc cpufreq_ondemand acpi_cpufreq freq_table mperf ip6t_REJECT nf_conntrack_ipv6 nf_defrag_ipv6 ip6table_filter ip6_tables rfcomm bnep arc4 iwlagn snd_hda_codec_hdmi snd_hda_codec_idt snd_hda_intel btusb mac80211 snd_hda_codec bluetooth snd_hwdep snd_seq snd_seq_device snd_pcm usb_debug dell_wmi sparse_keymap cdc_ether usbnet cdc_acm uvcvideo cdc_wdm mii cfg80211 snd_timer dell_laptop videodev dcdbas snd microcode v4l2_compat_ioctl32 soundcore joydev tg3 pcspkr snd_page_alloc iTCO_wdt i2c_i801 rfkill iTCO_vendor_support wmi virtio_net kvm_intel kvm ipv6 xts gf128mul dm_crypt i915 drm_kms_helper drm i2c_algo_bit i2c_core video [last unloaded: scsi_wait_scan] [ 5913.233213] Pid: 0, comm: swapper Not tainted 3.0.0+ #127 [ 5913.233213] Call Trace: [ 5913.233213] <IRQ> [<ffffffff8105df18>] warn_slowpath_common+0x83/0x9b [ 5913.233213] [<ffffffff8105dfd3>] warn_slowpath_fmt+0x46/0x48 [ 5913.233213] [<ffffffff8127e7c1>] __list_del_entry+0x8d/0x98 [ 5913.233213] [<ffffffff8127e7da>] list_del+0xe/0x2d [ 5913.233213] [<ffffffff814e0430>] __slab_free+0x1db/0x235 [ 5913.233213] [<ffffffff811706ab>] ? bvec_free_bs+0x35/0x37 [ 5913.233213] [<ffffffff811706ab>] ? bvec_free_bs+0x35/0x37 [ 5913.233213] [<ffffffff811706ab>] ? bvec_free_bs+0x35/0x37 [ 5913.233213] [<ffffffff81133085>] kmem_cache_free+0x88/0x102 [ 5913.233213] [<ffffffff811706ab>] bvec_free_bs+0x35/0x37 [ 5913.233213] [<ffffffff811706e1>] bio_free+0x34/0x64 [ 5913.233213] [<ffffffff813dc390>] dm_bio_destructor+0x12/0x14 [ 5913.233213] [<ffffffff8116fef6>] bio_put+0x2b/0x2d [ 5913.233213] [<ffffffff813dccab>] clone_endio+0x9e/0xb4 [ 5913.233213] [<ffffffff8116f7dd>] bio_endio+0x2d/0x2f [ 5913.233213] [<ffffffffa00148da>] crypt_dec_pending+0x5c/0x8b [dm_crypt] [ 5913.233213] [<ffffffffa00150a9>] crypt_endio+0x78/0x81 [dm_crypt] [ Full discussion here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/8/4/375 ] Make sure that we remove such a slab also from the full lists.

| * slub: When allocating a new slab also prep the first objectChristoph Lameter2011-07-251-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We need to branch to the debug code for the first object if we allocate a new slab otherwise the first object will be marked wrongly as inactive.

| * slub: disable interrupts in cmpxchg_double_slab when falling back to pagelockChristoph Lameter2011-07-181-4/+45
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Split cmpxchg_double_slab into two functions. One for the case where we know that interrupts are disabled (and therefore the fallback does not need to disable interrupts) and one for the other cases where fallback will also disable interrupts. This fixes the issue that __slab_free called cmpxchg_double_slab in some scenarios without disabling interrupts.
