* mm, sl[aou]b: Move kmem_cache_create mutex handling to common codeChristoph Lameter2012-07-091-51/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | Move the mutex handling into the common kmem_cache_create() function. Then we can also move more checks out of SLAB's kmem_cache_create() into the common code.

* mm, sl[aou]b: Use a common mutex definitionChristoph Lameter2012-07-091-57/+51
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use the mutex definition from SLAB and make it the common way to take a sleeping lock. This has the effect of using a mutex instead of a rw semaphore for SLUB. SLOB gains the use of a mutex for kmem_cache_create serialization. Not needed now but SLOB may acquire some more features later (like slabinfo / sysfs support) through the expansion of the common code that will need this.

* mm, sl[aou]b: Extract common code for kmem_cache_create()Christoph Lameter2012-07-091-15/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | Kmem_cache_create() does a variety of sanity checks but those vary depending on the allocator. Use the strictest tests and put them into a slab_common file. Make the tests conditional on CONFIG_DEBUG_VM. This patch has the effect of adding sanity checks for SLUB and SLOB under CONFIG_DEBUG_VM and removes the checks in SLAB for !CONFIG_DEBUG_VM.

* slab: move FULL state transition to an initcallGlauber Costa2012-07-021-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | During kmem_cache_init_late(), we transition to the LATE state, and after some more work, to the FULL state, its last state This is quite different from slub, that will only transition to its last state (previously SYSFS), in a (late)initcall, after a lot more of the kernel is ready. This means that in slab, we have no way to taking actions dependent on the initialization of other pieces of the kernel that are supposed to start way after kmem_init_late(), such as cgroups initialization. To achieve more consistency in this behavior, that patch only transitions to the UP state in kmem_init_late. In my analysis, setup_cpu_cache() should be happy to test for >= UP, instead of == FULL. It also has passed some tests I've made. We then only mark FULL state after the reap timers are in place, meaning that no further setup is expected.

* slab/mempolicy: always use local policy from interrupt contextAndi Kleen2012-06-201-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | slab_node() could access current->mempolicy from interrupt context. However there's a race condition during exit where the mempolicy is first freed and then the pointer zeroed. Using this from interrupts seems bogus anyways. The interrupt will interrupt a random process and therefore get a random mempolicy. Many times, this will be idle's, which noone can change. Just disable this here and always use local for slab from interrupts. I also cleaned up the callers of slab_node a bit which always passed the same argument. I believe the original mempolicy code did that in fact, so it's likely a regression. v2: send version with correct logic v3: simplify. fix typo.

* mm, sl[aou]b: Extract common fields from struct kmem_cacheChristoph Lameter2012-06-141-59/+58
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Define a struct that describes common fields used in all slab allocators. A slab allocator either uses the common definition (like SLOB) or is required to provide members of kmem_cache with the definition given. After that it will be possible to share code that only operates on those fields of kmem_cache. The patch basically takes the slob definition of kmem cache and uses the field namees for the other allocators. It also standardizes the names used for basic object lengths in allocators: object_size Struct size specified at kmem_cache_create. Basically the payload expected to be used by the subsystem. size The size of memory allocator for each object. This size is larger than object_size and includes padding, alignment and extra metadata for each object (f.e. for debugging and rcu).

* | cpuset: mm: reduce large amounts of memory barrier related damage v3Mel Gorman2012-03-211-5/+8
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: restrict access to slab files under procfs and sysfsVasiliy Kulikov2011-09-271-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit e66eed651fd1 ("list: remove prefetching from regular list iterators") removed the include of prefetch.h from list.h, which uncovered several cases that had apparently relied on that rather obscure header file dependency. So this fixes things up a bit, using grep -L linux/prefetch.h $(git grep -l '[^a-z_]prefetchw*(' -- '*.[ch]') grep -L 'prefetchw*(' $(git grep -l 'linux/prefetch.h' -- '*.[ch]') to guide us in finding files that either need <linux/prefetch.h> inclusion, or have it despite not needing it. There are more of them around (mostly network drivers), but this gets many core ones.

| * | core: Replace __get_cpu_var with __this_cpu_read if not used for an address.Christoph Lameter2010-12-171-3/+3
| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | __get_cpu_var() can be replaced with this_cpu_read and will then use a single read instruction with implied address calculation to access the correct per cpu instance. However, the address of a per cpu variable passed to __this_cpu_read() cannot be determined (since it's an implied address conversion through segment prefixes). Therefore apply this only to uses of __get_cpu_var where the address of the variable is not used.
