mm/page_ext: resurrect struct page extending code for debugging
When we debug something, we'd like to insert some information to every
page. For this purpose, we sometimes modify struct page itself. But,
this has drawbacks. First, it requires re-compile. This makes us
hesitate to use the powerful debug feature so development process is
slowed down. And, second, sometimes it is impossible to rebuild the
kernel due to third party module dependency. At third, system behaviour
would be largely different after re-compile, because it changes size of
struct page greatly and this structure is accessed by every part of
kernel. Keeping this as it is would be better to reproduce errornous
situation.
This feature is intended to overcome above mentioned problems. This
feature allocates memory for extended data per page in certain place
rather than the struct page itself. This memory can be accessed by the
accessor functions provided by this code. During the boot process, it
checks whether allocation of huge chunk of memory is needed or not. If
not, it avoids allocating memory at all. With this advantage, we can
include this feature into the kernel in default and can avoid rebuild and
solve related problems.
Until now, memcg uses this technique. But, now, memcg decides to embed
their variable to struct page itself and it's code to extend struct page
has been removed. I'd like to use this code to develop debug feature, so
this patch resurrect it.
To help these things to work well, this patch introduces two callbacks for
clients. One is the need callback which is mandatory if user wants to
avoid useless memory allocation at boot-time. The other is optional, init
callback, which is used to do proper initialization after memory is
allocated. Detailed explanation about purpose of these functions is in
code comment. Please refer it.
Others are completely same with previous extension code in memcg.

mm, page_alloc: more extensive free page checking with debug_pagealloc
The page allocator checks struct pages for expected state (mapcount,
flags etc) as pages are being allocated (check_new_page()) and freed
(free_pages_check()) to provide some defense against errors in page
allocator users.
Prior commits 479f854a207c ("mm, page_alloc: defer debugging checks of
pages allocated from the PCP") and 4db7548ccbd9 ("mm, page_alloc: defer
debugging checks of freed pages until a PCP drain") this has happened
for order-0 pages as they were allocated from or freed to the per-cpu
caches (pcplists). Since those are fast paths, the checks are now
performed only when pages are moved between pcplists and global free
lists. This however lowers the chances of catching errors soon enough.
In order to increase the chances of the checks to catch errors, the
kernel has to be rebuilt with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM, which also enables
multiple other internal debug checks (VM_BUG_ON() etc), which is
suboptimal when the goal is to catch errors in mm users, not in mm code
itself.
To catch some wrong users of the page allocator we have
CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, which is designed to have virtually no overhead
unless enabled at boot time. Memory corruptions when writing to freed
pages have often the same underlying errors (use-after-free, double free)
as corrupting the corresponding struct pages, so this existing debugging
functionality is a good fit to extend by also perform struct page checks
at least as often as if CONFIG_DEBUG_VM was enabled.
Specifically, after this patch, when debug_pagealloc is enabled on boot,
and CONFIG_DEBUG_VM disabled, pages are checked when allocated from or
freed to the pcplists *in addition* to being moved between pcplists and
free lists. When both debug_pagealloc and CONFIG_DEBUG_VM are enabled,
pages are checked when being moved between pcplists and free lists *in
addition* to when allocated from or freed to the pcplists.
When debug_pagealloc is not enabled on boot, the overhead in fast paths
should be virtually none thanks to the use of static key.

Also, the state of page tracking structures is checked more often as
|
|
|
|
|
pages are being allocated and freed, as unexpected state changes
|
|
|
|
|
often happen for same reasons as memory corruption (e.g. double free,
|
mm, page_owner, debug_pagealloc: save and dump freeing stack trace
The debug_pagealloc functionality is useful to catch buggy page allocator
users that cause e.g. use after free or double free. When page
inconsistency is detected, debugging is often simpler by knowing the call
stack of process that last allocated and freed the page. When page_owner
is also enabled, we record the allocation stack trace, but not freeing.
This patch therefore adds recording of freeing process stack trace to page
owner info, if both page_owner and debug_pagealloc are configured and
enabled. With only page_owner enabled, this info is not useful for the
memory leak debugging use case. dump_page() is adjusted to print the
info. An example result of calling __free_pages() twice may look like
this (note the page last free stack trace):

mm/page_ref: add tracepoint to track down page reference manipulation
CMA allocation should be guaranteed to succeed by definition, but,
unfortunately, it would be failed sometimes. It is hard to track down
the problem, because it is related to page reference manipulation and we
don't have any facility to analyze it.
This patch adds tracepoints to track down page reference manipulation.
With it, we can find exact reason of failure and can fix the problem.
Following is an example of tracepoint output. (note: this example is
stale version that printing flags as the number. Recent version will
print it as human readable string.)

improve performance, pages are not freed immediately. They are gathered

possible and CMA allocation is failed. This problem is hard to find
without this page reference tracepoint facility.
Enabling this feature bloat kernel text 30 KB in my configuration.

This is a feature to add tracepoint for tracking down page reference
|
|
|
|
|
manipulation. This tracking is useful to diagnose functional failure
|
|
|
|
|
due to migration failures caused by page reference mismatches. Be
|
|
|
|
|
careful when enabling this feature because it adds about 30 KB to the
|
|
|
|
|
kernel code. However the runtime performance overhead is virtually
|
|
|
|
|
nil until the tracepoints are actually enabled.

This is useful for discovering cases where the kernel is leaving W+X
|
|
|
|
|
mappings after applying NX, as such mappings are a security risk.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Look for a message in dmesg output like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<arch>/mm: Checked W+X mappings: passed, no W+X pages found.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
or like this, if the check failed:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<arch>/mm: Checked W+X mappings: failed, <N> W+X pages found.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that even if the check fails, your kernel is possibly
|
|
|
|
|
still fine, as W+X mappings are not a security hole in
|
|
|
|
|
themselves, what they do is that they make the exploitation
|
|
|
|
|
of other unfixed kernel bugs easier.
|
|
|

There is no runtime or memory usage effect of this option
|
|

|
|
once the kernel has booted up - it's a one time check.

Say Y here to enable success, retry and failure counters of page
|
|
|
|
|
faults handled under protection of per-vma locks. When enabled, the
|
|
|
|
|
counters are exposed in /proc/vmstat. This information is useful for
|
|
|
|
|
kernel developers to evaluate effectiveness of per-vma locks and to
|
|
|
|
|
identify pathological cases. Counting these events introduces a small
|
|
|
|
|
overhead in the page fault path.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If in doubt, say N.
