This change uses the previously added memory initialization feature of
HW_TAGS KASAN routines for slab memory when init_on_free is enabled.
With this change, memory initialization memset() is no longer called when
both HW_TAGS KASAN and init_on_free are enabled. Instead, memory is
initialized in KASAN runtime.
For SLUB, the memory initialization memset() is moved into
slab_free_hook() that currently directly follows the initialization loop.
A new argument is added to slab_free_hook() that indicates whether to
initialize the memory or not.
To avoid discrepancies with which memory gets initialized that can be
caused by future changes, both KASAN hook and initialization memset() are
put together and a warning comment is added.
Combining setting allocation tags with memory initialization improves
HW_TAGS KASAN performance when init_on_free is enabled.

Patch series "kasan: integrate with init_on_alloc/free", v3.
This patch series integrates HW_TAGS KASAN with init_on_alloc/free by
initializing memory via the same arm64 instruction that sets memory tags.
This is expected to improve HW_TAGS KASAN performance when
init_on_alloc/free is enabled. The exact perfomance numbers are unknown
as MTE-enabled hardware doesn't exist yet.
This patch (of 5):
This change adds an argument to mte_set_mem_tag_range() that allows to
enable memory initialization when settinh the allocation tags. The
implementation uses stzg instruction instead of stg when this argument
indicates to initialize memory.
Combining setting allocation tags with memory initialization will improve
HW_TAGS KASAN performance when init_on_alloc/free is enabled.
This change doesn't integrate memory initialization with KASAN, this is

During boot, all non-reserved memblock memory is exposed to page_alloc via
memblock_free_pages->__free_pages_core(). This results in
kasan_free_pages() being called, which poisons that memory.
Poisoning all that memory lengthens boot time. The most noticeable effect
is observed with the HW_TAGS mode. A boot-time impact may potentially
also affect systems with large amount of RAM.
This patch changes the tag-based modes to not poison the memory during the
memblock->page_alloc transition.
An exception is made for KASAN_GENERIC. Since it marks all new memory as
accessible, not poisoning the memory released from memblock will lead to
KASAN missing invalid boot-time accesses to that memory.
With KASAN_SW_TAGS, as it uses the invalid 0xFE tag as the default tag for
all memory, it won't miss bad boot-time accesses even if the poisoning of
memblock memory is removed.
With KASAN_HW_TAGS, the default memory tags values are unspecified.
Therefore, if memblock poisoning is removed, this KASAN mode will miss the
mentioned type of boot-time bugs with a 1/16 probability. This is taken
as an acceptable trafe-off.
Internally, the poisoning is removed as follows. __free_pages_core() is
used when exposing fresh memory during system boot and when onlining
memory during hotplug. This patch adds a new FPI_SKIP_KASAN_POISON flag
and passes it to __free_pages_ok() through free_pages_prepare() from
__free_pages_core(). If FPI_SKIP_KASAN_POISON is set, kasan_free_pages()
is not called.
All memory allocated normally when the boot is over keeps getting poisoned
as usual.

Currently, KASAN_SW_TAGS uses 0xFF as the default tag value for
unallocated memory. The underlying idea is that since that memory hasn't
been allocated yet, it's only supposed to be dereferenced through a
pointer with the native 0xFF tag.
While this is a good idea in terms on consistency, practically it doesn't
bring any benefit. Since the 0xFF pointer tag is a match-all tag, it
doesn't matter what tag the accessed memory has. No accesses through
0xFF-tagged pointers are considered buggy by KASAN.
This patch changes the default tag value for unallocated memory to 0xFE,
which is the tag KASAN uses for inaccessible memory. This doesn't affect
accesses through 0xFF-tagged pointer to this memory, but this allows KASAN
to detect wild and large out-of-bounds invalid memory accesses through
otherwise-tagged pointers.
This is a prepatory patch for the next one, which changes the tag-based
KASAN modes to not poison the boot memory.

We can sometimes end up with kasan_byte_accessible() being called on
non-slab memory. For example ksize() and krealloc() may end up calling it
on KFENCE allocated memory. In this case the memory will be tagged with
KASAN_SHADOW_INIT, which a subsequent patch ("kasan: initialize shadow to
TAG_INVALID for SW_TAGS") will set to the same value as KASAN_TAG_INVALID,
causing kasan_byte_accessible() to fail when called on non-slab memory.
This highlighted the fact that the check in kasan_byte_accessible() was
inconsistent with checks as implemented for loads and stores
(kasan_check_range() in SW tags mode and hardware-implemented checks in HW
tags mode). kasan_check_range() does not have a check for
KASAN_TAG_INVALID, and instead has a comparison against
KASAN_SHADOW_START. In HW tags mode, we do not have either, but we do set
TCR_EL1.TCMA which corresponds with the comparison against
KASAN_TAG_KERNEL.
Therefore, update kasan_byte_accessible() for both SW and HW tags modes to
correspond with the respective checks on loads and stores.

Patch series "kernel-doc and MAINTAINERS clean-up".
Roughly 900 warnings of about 21.000 kernel-doc warnings in the kernel
tree warn with 'cannot understand function prototype:', i.e., the
kernel-doc parser cannot parse the function's signature. The majority,
about 600 cases of those, are just struct definitions following the
kernel-doc description. Further, spot-check investigations suggest that
the authors of the specific kernel-doc descriptions simply were not
aware that the general format for a kernel-doc description for a
structure requires to prefix the struct name with the keyword 'struct',
as in 'struct struct_name - Brief description.'. Details on kernel-doc
are at the Link below.
Without the struct keyword, kernel-doc does not check if the kernel-doc
description fits to the actual struct definition in the source code.
Fortunately, in roughly a quarter of these cases, the kernel-doc
description is actually complete wrt. its corresponding struct
definition. So, the trivial change adding the struct keyword will allow
us to keep the kernel-doc descriptions more consistent for future
changes, by checking for new kernel-doc warnings.
Also, some of the files in ./include/ are not assigned to a specific
MAINTAINERS section and hence have no dedicated maintainer. So, if
needed, the files in ./include/ are also assigned to the fitting
MAINTAINERS section, as I need to identify whom to send the clean-up
patch anyway.
Here is the change from this kernel-doc janitorial work in the
./include/ directory for MEMORY MANAGEMENT.
This patch (of 2):
Commit a520110e4a ("mm: split out a new pagewalk.h header from mm.h")
adds a new file in ./include/linux, but misses to update MAINTAINERS
accordingly. Hence,
./scripts/get_maintainers.pl include/linux/pagewalk.h
points only to lkml as general fallback for all files, whereas the
original include/linux/mm.h clearly marks this file part of MEMORY
MANAGEMENT.
Assign include/linux/pagewalk.h to MEMORY MANAGEMENT.

A 'single_cpu_test' parameter is odd and it does not exist anymore.
Instead there was introduced a 'nr_threads' one. If it is not set it
behaves as the former parameter.
That is why update a "stress mode" according to this change specifying
number of workers which are equal to number of CPUs. Also update an
output of help message based on a new interface.

By using this parameter we can specify how many workers are created to
perform vmalloc tests. By default it is one CPU. The maximum value is
set to 1024.
As a result of this change a 'single_cpu_test' one becomes obsolete,
therefore it is no longer needed.

A potential use after free can occur in _vm_unmap_aliases where an already
freed vmap_area could be accessed, Consider the following scenario:
Process 1 Process 2
__vm_unmap_aliases __vm_unmap_aliases
purge_fragmented_blocks_allcpus rcu_read_lock()
rcu_read_lock()
list_del_rcu(&vb->free_list)
list_for_each_entry_rcu(vb .. )
__purge_vmap_area_lazy
kmem_cache_free(va)
va_start = vb->va->va_start
Here Process 1 is in purge path and it does list_del_rcu on vmap_block and
later frees the vmap_area, since Process 2 was holding the rcu lock at
this time vmap_block will still be present in and Process 2 accesse it and
thereby it tries to access vmap_area of that vmap_block which was already
freed by Process 1 and this results in use after free.
Fix this by adding a check for vb->dirty before accessing vmap_area
structure since vb->dirty will be set to VMAP_BBMAP_BITS in purge path
checking for this will prevent the use after free.

Support huge page vmalloc mappings. Config option HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMALLOC
enables support on architectures that define HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP and
supports PMD sized vmap mappings.
vmalloc will attempt to allocate PMD-sized pages if allocating PMD size or
larger, and fall back to small pages if that was unsuccessful.
Architectures must ensure that any arch specific vmalloc allocations that
require PAGE_SIZE mappings (e.g., module allocations vs strict module rwx)
use the VM_NOHUGE flag to inhibit larger mappings.
This can result in more internal fragmentation and memory overhead for a
given allocation, an option nohugevmalloc is added to disable at boot.

This changes the awkward approach where architectures provide init
functions to determine which levels they can provide large mappings for,
to one where the arch is queried for each call.
This removes code and indirection, and allows constant-folding of dead
code for unsupported levels.
This also adds a prot argument to the arch query. This is unused
currently but could help with some architectures (e.g., some powerpc
processors can't map uncacheable memory with large pages).

vmalloc_to_page returns NULL for addresses mapped by larger pages[*].
Whether or not a vmap is huge depends on the architecture details,
alignments, boot options, etc., which the caller can not be expected to
know. Therefore HUGE_VMAP is a regression for vmalloc_to_page.
This change teaches vmalloc_to_page about larger pages, and returns the
struct page that corresponds to the offset within the large page. This
makes the API agnostic to mapping implementation details.

Patch series "huge vmalloc mappings", v13.
The kernel virtual mapping layer grew support for mapping memory with >
PAGE_SIZE ptes with commit 0ddab1d2ed ("lib/ioremap.c: add huge I/O
map capability interfaces"), and implemented support for using those
huge page mappings with ioremap.
According to the submission, the use-case is mapping very large
non-volatile memory devices, which could be GB or TB:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1425404664-19675-1-git-send-email-toshi.kani@hp.com/
The benefit is said to be in the overhead of maintaining the mapping,
perhaps both in memory overhead and setup / teardown time. Memory
overhead for the mapping with a 4kB page and 8 byte page table is 2GB
per TB of mapping, down to 4MB / TB with 2MB pages.
The same huge page vmap infrastructure can be quite easily adapted and
used for mapping vmalloc memory pages without more complexity for arch
or core vmap code. However unlike ioremap, vmalloc page table overhead
is not a real problem, so the advantage to justify this is performance.
Several of the most structures in the kernel (e.g., vfs and network hash
tables) are allocated with vmalloc on NUMA machines, in order to
distribute access bandwidth over the machine. Mapping these with larger
pages can improve TLB usage significantly, for example this reduces TLB
misses by nearly 30x on a `git diff` workload on a 2-node POWER9 (59,800
-> 2,100) and reduces CPU cycles by 0.54%, due to vfs hashes being
allocated with 2MB pages.
[ Other numbers?
- The difference is even larger in a guest due to more costly TLB
misses.
- Eric Dumazet was keen on the network hash performance possibilities.
- Other archs? Ding was doing x86 testing. ]
The kernel module allocator also uses vmalloc to map module images even on
non-NUMA, which can result in high iTLB pressure on highly modular distro
type of kernels. This series does not implement huge mappings for modules
yet, but it's a step along the way. Rick Edgecombe was looking at that
IIRC.
The per-cpu allocator similarly might be able to take advantage of this.
Also on the todo list.
The disadvantages of this I can see are:
* Memory fragmentation can waste some physical memory because it will
attempt to allocate larger pages to fit the required size, rounding up
(once the requested size is >= 2MB).
- I don't see it being a big problem in practice unless some user
crops up that allocates thousands of 2.5MB ranges. We can tewak
heuristics a bit there if needed to reduce peak waste.
* Less granular mappings can make the NUMA distribution less balanced.
- Similar to the above.
- Could also allocate all major system hashes with one allocation
up-front and spread them all across the one block, which should help
overall NUMA distribution and reduce fragmentation waste.
* Callers might expect something about the underlying allocated pages.
- Tried to keep the apperance of base PAGE_SIZE pages throughout the
APIs and exposed data structures.
- Added a VM_NO_HUGE_VMAP flag to hammer troublesome cases with.
- Finally, added a nohugevmalloc boot option to turn it off (independent
of nohugeiomap).
This patch (of 14):
ARM uses its own PMD folding scheme which is missing pud_page which should

vread() has been linearly searching vmap_area_list for looking up vmalloc
areas to read from. These same areas are also tracked by a rb_tree
(vmap_area_root) which offers logarithmic lookup.
This patch modifies vread() to use the rb_tree structure instead of the
list and the speedup for heavy /proc/kcore readers can be pretty
significant. Below are the wall clock measurements of a Python
application that leverages the drgn debugging library to read and
interpret data read from /proc/kcore.
Before the patch:
-----
$ time sudo sdb -e 'dbuf | head 3000 | wc'
(unsigned long)3000
real 0m22.446s
user 0m2.321s
sys 0m20.690s
-----
With the patch:
-----
$ time sudo sdb -e 'dbuf | head 3000 | wc'
(unsigned long)3000
real 0m2.104s
user 0m2.043s
sys 0m0.921s

Patch series "remap_vmalloc_range cleanups".
This series removes an open coded instance of remap_vmalloc_range and
removes the unused remap_vmalloc_range_partial export.
This patch (of 2):
Use remap_vmalloc_range instead of open coding it using
remap_vmalloc_range_partial.

sparse_buffer_init() and sparse_buffer_fini() should appear in pair, or a
WARN issue would be through the next time sparse_buffer_init() runs.
Add the missing sparse_buffer_fini() in error branch.

strlcpy is marked as deprecated in Documentation/process/deprecated.rst,
and there is no functional difference when the caller expects truncation
(when not checking the return value). strscpy is relatively better as it
also avoids scanning the whole source string.
