Currently, vmalloc space is backed by the early shadow page. This
means that kasan is incompatible with VMAP_STACK.

This series provides a mechanism to back vmalloc space with real,
dynamically allocated memory. I have only wired up x86, because that's
the only currently supported arch I can work with easily, but it's
very easy to wire up other architectures, and it appears that there is
some work-in-progress code to do this on arm64 and s390.

This has been discussed before in the context of VMAP_STACK:
- https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=202009
- https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/7/22/198
- https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/7/19/822

In terms of implementation details:

Most mappings in vmalloc space are small, requiring less than a full
page of shadow space. Allocating a full shadow page per mapping would
therefore be wasteful. Furthermore, to ensure that different mappings
use different shadow pages, mappings would have to be aligned to
KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SIZE * PAGE_SIZE.

Instead, share backing space across multiple mappings. Allocate a
backing page when a mapping in vmalloc space uses a particular page of
the shadow region. This page can be shared by other vmalloc mappings
later on.

We hook in to the vmap infrastructure to lazily clean up unused shadow
memory.

Hook into vmalloc and vmap, and dynamically allocate real shadow
memory to back the mappings.

Most mappings in vmalloc space are small, requiring less than a full
page of shadow space. Allocating a full shadow page per mapping would
therefore be wasteful. Furthermore, to ensure that different mappings
use different shadow pages, mappings would have to be aligned to
KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SIZE * PAGE_SIZE.

Instead, share backing space across multiple mappings. Allocate a
backing page when a mapping in vmalloc space uses a particular page of
the shadow region. This page can be shared by other vmalloc mappings
later on.

We hook in to the vmap infrastructure to lazily clean up unused shadow
memory.

To avoid the difficulties around swapping mappings around, this code
expects that the part of the shadow region that covers the vmalloc
space will not be covered by the early shadow page, but will be left
unmapped. This will require changes in arch-specific code.

This allows KASAN with VMAP_STACK, and may be helpful for architectures
that do not have a separate module space (e.g. powerpc64, which I am
currently working on). It also allows relaxing the module alignment
back to PAGE_SIZE.

v2: let kasan_unpoison_shadow deal with ranges that do not use a
full shadow byte.

v3: relax module alignment
rename to kasan_populate_vmalloc which is a much better name
deal with concurrency correctly

v4: Mark's rework
Poision pages on vfree
Handle allocation failures

v5: Per Christophe Leroy, split out test and dynamically free pages.

v6: Guard freeing page properly. Drop WARN_ON_ONCE(pte_none(*ptep)),
on reflection it's unnecessary debugging cruft with too high a
false positive rate.

v7: tlb flush, thanks Mark.
explain more clearly how freeing works and is concurrency-safe.

A potential expansion of this mode is a hardware tag-based mode, which would
use hardware memory tagging support instead of compiler instrumentation and
manual shadow memory manipulation.
+
+What memory accesses are sanitised by KASAN?
+--------------------------------------------
+
+The kernel maps memory in a number of different parts of the address
+space. This poses something of a problem for KASAN, which requires
+that all addresses accessed by instrumented code have a valid shadow
+region.
+
+The range of kernel virtual addresses is large: there is not enough
+real memory to support a real shadow region for every address that
+could be accessed by the kernel.
+
+By default
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+By default, architectures only map real memory over the shadow region
+for the linear mapping (and potentially other small areas). For all
+other areas - such as vmalloc and vmemmap space - a single read-only
+page is mapped over the shadow area. This read-only shadow page
+declares all memory accesses as permitted.
+
+This presents a problem for modules: they do not live in the linear
+mapping, but in a dedicated module space. By hooking in to the module
+allocator, KASAN can temporarily map real shadow memory to cover
+them. This allows detection of invalid accesses to module globals, for
+example.
+
+This also creates an incompatibility with ``VMAP_STACK``: if the stack
+lives in vmalloc space, it will be shadowed by the read-only page, and
+the kernel will fault when trying to set up the shadow data for stack
+variables.
+
+CONFIG_KASAN_VMALLOC
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+With ``CONFIG_KASAN_VMALLOC``, KASAN can cover vmalloc space at the
+cost of greater memory usage. Currently this is only supported on x86.
+
+This works by hooking into vmalloc and vmap, and dynamically
+allocating real shadow memory to back the mappings.
+
+Most mappings in vmalloc space are small, requiring less than a full
+page of shadow space. Allocating a full shadow page per mapping would
+therefore be wasteful. Furthermore, to ensure that different mappings
+use different shadow pages, mappings would have to be aligned to
+``KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SIZE * PAGE_SIZE``.
+
+Instead, we share backing space across multiple mappings. We allocate
+a backing page when a mapping in vmalloc space uses a particular page
+of the shadow region. This page can be shared by other vmalloc
+mappings later on.
+
+We hook in to the vmap infrastructure to lazily clean up unused shadow
+memory.
+
+To avoid the difficulties around swapping mappings around, we expect
+that the part of the shadow region that covers the vmalloc space will
+not be covered by the early shadow page, but will be left
+unmapped. This will require changes in arch-specific code.
+
+This allows ``VMAP_STACK`` support on x86, and can simplify support of
+architectures that do not have a fixed module region.

+ * How does this work?
+ * -------------------
+ *
+ * We have a region that is page aligned, labelled as A.

+ *
+ * start end
+ * v v
+ * |????????|????????|AAAAAAAA|AA....AA|AAAAAAAA|????????| < vmalloc
+ * -------- -------- -------- -------- --------
+ * | | | | |
+ * | | | /-------/ |
+ * \-------\|/------/ |/---------------/
+ * ||| ||
+ * |??AAAAAA|AAAAAAAA|AA??????| < shadow
+ * (1) (2) (3)
+ *
+ * First we align the start upwards and the end downwards, so that the
+ * shadow of the region aligns with shadow page boundaries. In the
+ * example, this gives us the shadow page (2). This is the shadow entirely
+ * covered by this allocation.
+ *
+ * Then we have the tricky bits. We want to know if we can free the
+ * partially covered shadow pages - (1) and (3) in the example. For this,
+ * we are given the start and end of the free region that contains this
+ * allocation. Extending our previous example, we could have:
+ *
+ * free_region_start free_region_end
+ * | start end |
+ * v v v v
+ * |FFFFFFFF|FFFFFFFF|AAAAAAAA|AA....AA|AAAAAAAA|FFFFFFFF| < vmalloc
+ * -------- -------- -------- -------- --------
+ * | | | | |
+ * | | | /-------/ |
+ * \-------\|/------/ |/---------------/
+ * ||| ||
+ * |FFAAAAAA|AAAAAAAA|AAF?????| < shadow
+ * (1) (2) (3)
+ *
+ * Once again, we align the start of the free region up, and the end of
+ * the free region down so that the shadow is page aligned. So we can free
+ * page (1) - we know no allocation currently uses anything in that page,
+ * because all of it is in the vmalloc free region. But we cannot free
+ * page (3), because we can't be sure that the rest of it is unused.
+ *
+ * We only consider pages that contain part of the original region for
+ * freeing: we don't try to free other pages from the free region or we'd
+ * end up trying to free huge chunks of virtual address space.
+ *
+ * Concurrency
+ * -----------
+ *
+ * How do we know that we're not freeing a page that is simultaneously
+ * being used for a fresh allocation in kasan_populate_vmalloc(_pte)?
+ *
+ * We _can_ have kasan_release_vmalloc and kasan_populate_vmalloc running
+ * at the same time. While we run under vmap_area_lock, the population
+ * code does not: alloc_vmap_area and the per-cpu allocator both take the
+ * lock before calling __alloc_vmap_area to identify and reserve a region,
+ * and both release the lock before we call kasan_populate_vmalloc.
+ *
+ * vmap_area_lock instead operates to ensure that the larger range
+ * [free_region_start, free_region_end) is safe: because __alloc_vmap_area
+ * is excluded, no space identified as free will become non-free while we
+ * are running. This means that so long as we are careful with alignment
+ * and only free shadow pages entirely covered by the free region, we will
+ * not run in to trouble - any simultaneous allocations will be for
+ * disjoint regions.

Supporting VMAP_STACK with KASAN_VMALLOC is straightforward:

- clear the shadow region of vmapped stacks when swapping them in
- tweak Kconfig to allow VMAP_STACK to be turned on with KASAN

In the case where KASAN directly allocates memory to back vmalloc
space, don't map the early shadow page over it.

We prepopulate pgds/p4ds for the range that would otherwise be empty.
This is required to get it synced to hardware on boot, allowing the
lower levels of the page tables to be filled dynamically.

v8: rename kasan_vmalloc/shadow_pages -> kasan/vmalloc_shadow_pages

On v4 (no dynamic freeing), I saw the following approximate figures
on my test VM:

- fresh boot: 720
- after test_vmalloc: ~14000

With v5 (lazy dynamic freeing):

- boot: ~490-500
- running modprobe test_vmalloc pushes the figures up to sometimes
as high as ~14000, but they drop down to ~560 after the test ends.
I'm not sure where the extra sixty pages are from, but running the
test repeately doesn't cause the number to keep growing, so I don't
think we're leaking.
- with vmap_stack, spawning tasks pushes the figure up to ~4200, then
some clearing kicks in and drops it down to previous levels again.

The call to kasan_release_vmalloc() is a static inline no-op if
CONFIG_KASAN_VMALLOC is not defined, which I thought was the preferred
way to do things rather than sprinkling the code with ifdefs?

The complier should be smart enough to eliminate all the
orig_state/orig_end stuff at compile time because it can see that it's
not used, so there's no cost in the binary.

Daniel

I agree that is totally correct.

It should. I was more thinking about if those two variables can be
considered as unused, resulting in compile warning like "set but not used".
But that is theory and in case of having any warning the test robot will
notify anyway about that.

So, i am totally fine with that if compiler does not complain. If so,
please ignore my comments :)

Hello, Daniel.

Looking at it one more, i think above part of code is a bit wrong
and should be separated from merge_or_add_vmap_area() logic. The
reason is to keep it simple and do only what it is supposed to do:
merging or adding.

Also the kasan_release_vmalloc() gets called twice there and looks like
a duplication. Apart of that, merge_or_add_vmap_area() can be called via
recovery path when vmap/vmaps is/are not even setup. See percpu
allocator.

I guess your part could be moved directly to the __purge_vmap_area_lazy()
where all vmaps are lazily freed. To do so, we also need to modify
merge_or_add_vmap_area() to return merged area:

Thanks for the review. I've integrated your snippet - it seems to work
fine, and I agree that it is much simpler and clearer. so I've rolled it
in to v9 which I will post soon.

KASAN itself uses __vmalloc_node_range() to allocate and map shadow in memory online callback.
So we should either skip non-vmalloc and non-module addresses here or teach kasan's memory online/offline
callbacks to not use __vmalloc_node_range() (do something similar to kasan_populate_vmalloc() perhaps?).

Mark might be better able to answer this, but my understanding is that
we want to make sure that we never have a situation where the writes are
reordered so that PTE is installed before all the poisioning is written
out. I think it follows the logic in __pte_alloc() in mm/memory.c:

/*

* visible before the pte is made visible to other CPUs by being

smp_wmb(); /* Could be smp_wmb__xxx(before|after)_spin_lock */

I can clarify the comment.
Ah, right you are. I haven't been testing that.

I am a bit nervous about further restricting kasan_populate_vmalloc: I
seem to remember having problems with code using the vmalloc family of
functions to map memory that doesn't lie within vmalloc space but which
still has instrumented accesses.

On the other hand, I'm not keen on rewriting any of the memory
on/offline code if I can avoid it!

I'll have a look and get back you as soon as I can.

Thanks for catching this.

Kind regards,
Daniel

Yup. We need to ensure that if a thread sees a populated shadow PTE, the
corresponding shadow memory has been zeroed. Thus, we need to ensure
that the zeroing is observed by other CPUs before we update the PTE.

We're relying on the absence of a TLB entry preventing another CPU from
loading the corresponding shadow shadow memory until its PTE has been
populated (after the zeroing is visible). Consequently there is no
barrier on the other side, and just a control-dependency (which would be
insufficient on its own).

There is a potential problem here, as Will Deacon wrote up at:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/2019082713181...@kernel.org/

... in the section starting:

| *** Other architecture maintainers -- start here! ***

... whereby the CPU can spuriously fault on an access after observing a
valid PTE.

For arm64 we handle the spurious fault, and it looks like x86 would need
something like its vmalloc_fault() applying to the shadow region to
cater for this.

Thanks,
Mark.

There should be TLB maintenance between clearing the PTE and freeing the
page here.

I was wrong or remembering early implementation bugs.

If the memory we're allocating in __vmalloc_node_range falls outside of
vmalloc and module space, it shouldn't be getting shadow mapped for it
by kasan_populate_vmalloc. For v9, I've guarded the call with
is_vmalloc_or_module. It seems to work fine when tested with hotplugged
memory.

Thanks again.

Daniel

I'm not really up on x86 - my first thought would be that their stronger
memory ordering might be sufficient but I really don't know. Reading the
thread I see arm and powerpc discussions but nothing from anyone else,
so I'm none the wiser there...

Andy, do you have any thoughts?

Daniel

I don't see how is this relevant here.

barrier in __pte_alloc() for very the following case:

CPU 0 CPU 1
__pte_alloc(): pte_offset_kernel(pmd_t * dir, unsigned long address):
pgtable_t new = pte_alloc_one(mm); pte_t *new = (pte_t *) pmd_page_vaddr(*dir) + ((address >> PAGE_SHIFT) & (PTRS_PER_PAGE - 1));
smp_wmb(); smp_read_barrier_depends();
pmd_populate(mm, pmd, new);
/* do something with pte, e.g. check if (pte_none(*new)) */


It's needed to ensure that if CPU1 sees pmd_populate() it also sees initialized contents of the 'new'.

In our case the barrier would have been needed if we had the other side like this:

if (!pte_none(*vmalloc_shadow_pte)) {
shadow_addr = (unsigned long)__va(pte_pfn(*vmalloc_shadow_pte) << PAGE_SHIFT);
smp_read_barrier_depends();
*shadow_addr; /* read the shadow, barrier ensures that if we see installed pte, we will see initialized shadow memory. */
}


Without such other side the barrier is pointless.

The problem isn't quite the same, but it's a similar shape. See below

The barrier isn't pointless, but we are relying on a subtlety that is
not captured in LKMM, as one of the observers involved is the TLB (and
associated page table walkers) of the CPU.

Until the PTE written by CPU 0 has been observed by the TLB of CPU 1, it
is not possible for CPU 1 to satisfy loads from the memory that PTE
maps, as it doesn't yet know which memory that is.

Once the PTE written by CPU has been observed by the TLB of CPU 1, it is
possible for CPU 1 to satisfy those loads. At this instant, CPU 1 must
respect the smp_wmb() before the PTE was written, and hence sees zeroes
written before this. Note that if this were not true, we could not
safely swap userspace memory.

There is the risk (as laid out in [1]) that CPU 1 attempts to hoist the
loads of the shadow memory above the load of the PTE, samples a stale
(faulting) status from the TLB, then performs the load of the PTE and
sees a valid value. In this case (on arm64) a spurious fault could be
taken when the access is architecturally performed.

It is possible on arm64 to use a barrier here to prevent the spurious
fault, but this is not smp_read_barrier_depends(), as that does nothing
for everyone but alpha. On arm64 We have a spurious fault handler to fix
this up.

Thanks,
Mark.

Currently, vmalloc space is backed by the early shadow page. This
means that kasan is incompatible with VMAP_STACK.

This series provides a mechanism to back vmalloc space with real,
dynamically allocated memory. I have only wired up x86, because that's
the only currently supported arch I can work with easily, but it's
very easy to wire up other architectures, and it appears that there is
some work-in-progress code to do this on arm64 and s390.

This has been discussed before in the context of VMAP_STACK:
- https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=202009
- https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/7/22/198
- https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/7/19/822

In terms of implementation details:

Most mappings in vmalloc space are small, requiring less than a full
page of shadow space. Allocating a full shadow page per mapping would
therefore be wasteful. Furthermore, to ensure that different mappings
use different shadow pages, mappings would have to be aligned to
KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SIZE * PAGE_SIZE.

Instead, share backing space across multiple mappings. Allocate a
backing page when a mapping in vmalloc space uses a particular page of
the shadow region. This page can be shared by other vmalloc mappings
later on.

We hook in to the vmap infrastructure to lazily clean up unused shadow
memory.

v8: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/201910010658...@axtens.net/
rename kasan_vmalloc/shadow_pages to kasan/vmalloc_shadow_pages
v9: address a number of review comments for patch 1.

Hook into vmalloc and vmap, and dynamically allocate real shadow
memory to back the mappings.

Most mappings in vmalloc space are small, requiring less than a full
page of shadow space. Allocating a full shadow page per mapping would
therefore be wasteful. Furthermore, to ensure that different mappings
use different shadow pages, mappings would have to be aligned to
KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SIZE * PAGE_SIZE.

Instead, share backing space across multiple mappings. Allocate a
backing page when a mapping in vmalloc space uses a particular page of
the shadow region. This page can be shared by other vmalloc mappings
later on.

We hook in to the vmap infrastructure to lazily clean up unused shadow
memory.

To avoid the difficulties around swapping mappings around, this code
expects that the part of the shadow region that covers the vmalloc
space will not be covered by the early shadow page, but will be left
unmapped. This will require changes in arch-specific code.

This allows KASAN with VMAP_STACK, and may be helpful for architectures
that do not have a separate module space (e.g. powerpc64, which I am
currently working on). It also allows relaxing the module alignment
back to PAGE_SIZE.

[I haven't tried to resolve the question of spurious faults. My
understanding is that in order to see the issue, you'd need to:

a) on CPU 0, allocate shadow memory for memory in the vmalloc or
module region, where the allocation is located at a fixed
address, and

b) on CPU 1, access that shadow memory via the fixed address (to
avoid the dependency that would otherwise require the correct
ordering)

If this is an issue on x86, we can fix it in the x86 enablement
patch. Hopefully someone from x86land can let us know.]

v2: let kasan_unpoison_shadow deal with ranges that do not use a
full shadow byte.

v3: relax module alignment
rename to kasan_populate_vmalloc which is a much better name
deal with concurrency correctly

v4: Mark's rework
Poision pages on vfree
Handle allocation failures

v5: Per Christophe Leroy, split out test and dynamically free pages.

v6: Guard freeing page properly. Drop WARN_ON_ONCE(pte_none(*ptep)),
on reflection it's unnecessary debugging cruft with too high a
false positive rate.

v7: tlb flush, thanks Mark.
explain more clearly how freeing works and is concurrency-safe.

v9: - Pull in Uladzislau Rezki's changes to better line up with the
design of the new vmalloc implementation. Thanks Vlad.
- clarify comment explaining smp_wmb() per Mark and Andrey's discussion
- tighten up the allocation of backing memory so that it only
happens for vmalloc or module space allocations. Thanks Andrey
Ryabinin.
- A TLB flush in the freeing path, thanks Mark Rutland.

Supporting VMAP_STACK with KASAN_VMALLOC is straightforward:

- clear the shadow region of vmapped stacks when swapping them in
- tweak Kconfig to allow VMAP_STACK to be turned on with KASAN

In the case where KASAN directly allocates memory to back vmalloc
space, don't map the early shadow page over it.

We prepopulate pgds/p4ds for the range that would otherwise be empty.
This is required to get it synced to hardware on boot, allowing the
lower levels of the page tables to be filled dynamically.

v8: rename kasan_vmalloc/shadow_pages -> kasan/vmalloc_shadow_pages

On v4 (no dynamic freeing), I saw the following approximate figures
on my test VM:

- fresh boot: 720
- after test_vmalloc: ~14000

With v5 (lazy dynamic freeing):

- boot: ~490-500
- running modprobe test_vmalloc pushes the figures up to sometimes
as high as ~14000, but they drop down to ~560 after the test ends.
I'm not sure where the extra sixty pages are from, but running the
test repeately doesn't cause the number to keep growing, so I don't
think we're leaking.
- with vmap_stack, spawning tasks pushes the figure up to ~4200, then
some clearing kicks in and drops it down to previous levels again.

None of that really explains how the race looks like.
Please, describe concrete race race condition diagram starting with something like

CPU0 CPU1
p0 = vmalloc() p1 = vmalloc()
...




Or let me put it this way. Let's assume that CPU0 accesses shadow and CPU1 did the memset() and installed pte.
CPU0 may not observe memset() only if it dereferences completely random vmalloc addresses
or it performs out-of-bounds access which crosses KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE*PAGE_SIZE boundary, i.e. access to shadow crosses page boundary.
In both cases it will be hard to avoid crashes. OOB crossing the page boundary in vmalloc pretty much guarantees crash because of guard page,
and derefencing random address isn't going to last for long.

If CPU0 obtained pointer via vmalloc() call and it's doing out-of-bounds (within boundaries of the page) or use-after-free,
than the spin_[un]lock(&init_mm.page_table_lock) should allow CPU0 to see the memset done by CPU1 without any additional barrier.

Hi Mark and Andrey,

I've spent some quality time with the barrier documentation and
all of your emails.

I'm still trying to puzzle out the barrier. The memory model
documentation doesn't talk about how synchronisation works when a
page-table walk is involved, so that's making things hard. However, I
think I have something for the spurious fault case. Apologies for the
length, and for any mistakes!

I am assuming here that the poison and zeros and PTEs are correctly
being stored and we're just concerned about whether an architecturally
correct load can cause a spurious fault on x86.

Will's email has the following example:

CPU 0 CPU 1
----- -----
spin_lock(&lock); spin_lock(&lock);
set_fixmap(0, paddr, prot); if (mapped)
mapped = true; foo = *fix_to_virt(0);
spin_unlock(&lock); spin_unlock(&lock);


If I understand the following properly, it's because of a quirk in
ARM, the translation of fix_to_virt(0) can escape outside the lock:

So the DSB isn't sufficient to stop the CPU speculating the
_translation_ above the page table store - to do that you need an
ISB. [I'm not an ARM person so apologies if I've butchered this!] Then
the load then uses the speculated translation and faults.

So, do we need to do something to protect ourselves against the case of
these sorts of spurious faults on x86? I'm also not an x86 person, so
again apologies in advance if I've butchered anything.

Firstly, it's not trivial to get a fixed address from the vmalloc
infrastructure - you have to do something like
__vmalloc_node_range(size, align, fixed_start_address, fixed_start_address + size, ...)
I don't see any callers doing that. But we press on just in case.

Section 4.10.2.3 of Book 3 of the Intel Developers Manual says:

| The processor may cache translations required for prefetches and for
| accesses that are a result of speculative execution that would never
| actually occur in the executed code path.

That's all it says, it doesn't say if it will cache a negative or
faulting lookup in the speculative case. However, if you _could_ cache
a negative result, you'd hope the documentation on when to invalidate
would tell you. That's in 4.10.4.

4.10.4.3 Optional Invalidations includes:

| The read of a paging-structure entry in translating an address being
| used to fetch an instruction may appear to execute before an earlier
| write to that paging-structure entry if there is no serializing
| instruction between the write and the instruction fetch. Note that
| the invalidating instructions identified in Section 4.10.4.1 are all
| serializing instructions.

That only applies to _instruction fetch_, not data fetch. There's no
corresponding dot point for data fetch, suggesting that data fetches
aren't subject to this.

Lastly, arch/x86's native_set_pte_at() performs none of the extra
barriers that ARM does - this also suggests to me that this isn't a
concern on x86. Perhaps page-table walking for data fetches is able to
snoop the store queues, and that's how they get around it.

Given that analysis, that x86 has generally strong memory ordering, and
the lack of response to Will's email from x86ers, I think we probably do
not need a spurious fault handler on x86. (Although I'd love to hear
from any actual x86 experts on this!) Other architecture enablement will
have to do their own analysis.

As I said up top, I'm still puzzling through the smp_wmb() discussion
and I hope to have something for that soon.

Daniel

I have puzzled through the barrier stuff. Here's what I
have. Apologies for the length, and for any mistakes - I'm pretty new
to deep kernel memory model stuff!

One thing that I don't think we've considered so far is _un_poisioning:


| ret = apply_to_page_range(&init_mm, shadow_start,
| shadow_end - shadow_start,
| kasan_populate_vmalloc_pte, NULL);
| if (ret)
| return ret;
|
| kasan_unpoison_shadow(area->addr, requested_size);

That unpoisioning is going to write to the shadow via its virtual
address, loading translations into the TLB. So we cannot assume that
another CPU is doing the page table walk and loading the TLB entry for
the first time. We need to make sure that correctness does not depend
on that.

We have 2x2 cases to consider:

{Access via fixed address, access via unknown address}
x
{Access within object - unpoisioned, access just beyond object but
within shadow - poisoned}

I think we can first drop all consideration of access via fixed
addresses. Such accesses will have to be synchronised via some
external mechanism, such as a flag, with appropriate
locking/barriers. Those barriers will order the rest of the memory
accesses within vmalloc(), and I considered speculative faults in my
other email.

That leaves just memory accesses via an unknown address. I'm imagining
the following two cases:

[Access of Unpoisoned Shadow - valid access]

CPU#0 CPU#1
----- -----
WRITE_ONCE(p, vmalloc(100)) while (!(x = READ_ONCE(p))) ;
x[99] = 1;

[Access of Poisoned Shadow - invalid read past the end]

CPU#0 CPU#1
----- -----
WRITE_ONCE(p, vmalloc(100)) while (!(x = READ_ONCE(p))) ;
x[100] = 1;


---------- Access to the unpoisioned region of shadow ----------

Expanding the CPU#0 side, let `a` be area->addr:

// kasan_populate_vmalloc_pte
...
STORE page+PAGE_SIZE-1, poison
// Mark's proposed smp_wmb() goes here
ACQUIRE page_table_lock
STORE ptep, pte
RELEASE page_table_lock
// return to kasan_populate_vmalloc
// call kasan_unpoison_shadow(a, 100)
STORE shadow(a), unpoison
...
STORE shadow(a+99), unpoison
// rest of vmalloc()
STORE p, a


CPU#1 looks like (removing the loop bit):

x = LOAD p
<data dependency>
shadow_x = LOAD *shadow(x+99)
// if shadow_x poisoned, report
STORE (x+99), 1

Putting the last few operations side-by-side:

CPU#0 CPU#1
STORE shadow(a+99), unpoision x = LOAD p
<data dependency>
STORE p, a shadow_x = LOAD shadow(x+99)


While there is a data dependency between x and shadow_x, there's no
barrier in kasan_populate_vmalloc() that forces the _un_poisoning to
be correctly ordered.

My worry would be that CPU#0 might commit the store to p before it
commits the store to the shadow. Then, even with the data dependency,
CPU#1 could observe store to shadow(a+99) after it executed the load
of shadow(x+99). This would lead CPU#1 to observe a false-positive
poison.

We need a write barrier, and Mark's proposed smp_wmb() is too early to
help here.

Now, there is an smp_wmb() in clear_vm_uninitialized_flag(), which is
called by __vmalloc_node_range between kasan_populate_vmalloc and the
end of the function. That makes things look like this:

CPU#0 CPU#1
STORE shadow(a+99), unpoision x = LOAD p
smp_wmb() <data dependency>
STORE p, a shadow_x = LOAD shadow(x+99)

memory-barriers.txt says that a data dependency and a write barrier
are sufficient to order this correctly.

Outside of __vmalloc_node_range(), the other times we call
kasan_populate_vmalloc() are:

- get_vm_area() and friends. get_vm_area does not mapping any pages
into the area returned. So the caller will have to do that, which
will require taking the page table lock. A release should pair with
a data dependency, making the unpoisoning visible.

- The per_cpu allocator: again the caller has to map pages into the
area returned - pcpu_map_pages calls map_kernel_range_noflush.

So, where the address is not known in advance, the unpoisioning does
need a barrier. However, we do hit one anyway before we return. We
should document that we're relying on the barrier in
clear_vm_uninitialized_flag() or barriers from other callers.

---------- Access to the poisioned region of shadow ----------

Now, what about the case that we do an overread that's still in the
shadow page?

CPU#0 CPU#1
STORE page+100, poison
...
# Mark's proposed smp_wmb()
ACQUIRE page_table_lock
STORE ptep, pte
RELEASE page_table_lock
...
STORE shadow(a+99), unpoision x = LOAD p
smp_wmb() <data dependency>
STORE p, a shadow_x = LOAD shadow(x+100)


Here, because of both the release and the smp_wmb(), the store of the
poison will be safe. Because we're not expecting anything funky with
fixed addresses or other CPUs doing page-table walks, I still think we
don't need an extra barrier where Mark has proposed.

-------------------- Conclusion --------------------

I will send a v10 that:

- drops the smp_wmb() for poisoning

- adds a comment that explains that we're dependent on later barriers
for _un_poisioning

I'd really like to get this into the coming merge window, if at all
possible.

Daniel

Currently, vmalloc space is backed by the early shadow page. This
means that kasan is incompatible with VMAP_STACK.

This series provides a mechanism to back vmalloc space with real,
dynamically allocated memory. I have only wired up x86, because that's
the only currently supported arch I can work with easily, but it's
very easy to wire up other architectures, and it appears that there is
some work-in-progress code to do this on arm64 and s390.

This has been discussed before in the context of VMAP_STACK:
- https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=202009
- https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/7/22/198
- https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/7/19/822

In terms of implementation details:

Most mappings in vmalloc space are small, requiring less than a full
page of shadow space. Allocating a full shadow page per mapping would
therefore be wasteful. Furthermore, to ensure that different mappings
use different shadow pages, mappings would have to be aligned to
KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SIZE * PAGE_SIZE.

Instead, share backing space across multiple mappings. Allocate a
backing page when a mapping in vmalloc space uses a particular page of
the shadow region. This page can be shared by other vmalloc mappings
later on.

We hook in to the vmap infrastructure to lazily clean up unused shadow
memory.

Daniel Axtens (5):
kasan: support backing vmalloc space with real shadow memory
kasan: add test for vmalloc
fork: support VMAP_STACK with KASAN_VMALLOC
x86/kasan: support KASAN_VMALLOC

Hook into vmalloc and vmap, and dynamically allocate real shadow
memory to back the mappings.

Most mappings in vmalloc space are small, requiring less than a full
page of shadow space. Allocating a full shadow page per mapping would
therefore be wasteful. Furthermore, to ensure that different mappings
use different shadow pages, mappings would have to be aligned to
KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SIZE * PAGE_SIZE.

Instead, share backing space across multiple mappings. Allocate a
backing page when a mapping in vmalloc space uses a particular page of
the shadow region. This page can be shared by other vmalloc mappings
later on.

We hook in to the vmap infrastructure to lazily clean up unused shadow
memory.

To avoid the difficulties around swapping mappings around, this code
expects that the part of the shadow region that covers the vmalloc
space will not be covered by the early shadow page, but will be left
unmapped. This will require changes in arch-specific code.

This allows KASAN with VMAP_STACK, and may be helpful for architectures
that do not have a separate module space (e.g. powerpc64, which I am
currently working on). It also allows relaxing the module alignment
back to PAGE_SIZE.

v2: let kasan_unpoison_shadow deal with ranges that do not use a

v3: relax module alignment
rename to kasan_populate_vmalloc which is a much better name
deal with concurrency correctly

v4: Mark's rework
Poision pages on vfree
Handle allocation failures

v5: Per Christophe Leroy, split out test and dynamically free pages.

v6: Guard freeing page properly. Drop WARN_ON_ONCE(pte_none(*ptep)),
on reflection it's unnecessary debugging cruft with too high a
false positive rate.

v7: tlb flush, thanks Mark.
explain more clearly how freeing works and is concurrency-safe.

v9: - Pull in Uladzislau Rezki's changes to better line up with the
design of the new vmalloc implementation. Thanks Vlad.
- clarify comment explaining smp_wmb() per Mark and Andrey's discussion
- tighten up the allocation of backing memory so that it only
happens for vmalloc or module space allocations. Thanks Andrey
Ryabinin.
- A TLB flush in the freeing path, thanks Mark Rutland.

v10: - rebase on next, pulling in Vlad's new work on splitting the
vmalloc locks. This doesn't require changes in our behaviour
but does require rechecking and rewording the explanation of why
our behaviour is safe.
- after much discussion of barriers, I now document where I think they
are needed and why. Thanks Mark and Andrey.
- clean up some TLB flushing. We were doing it twice - once after each
page and once at the end of the whole process. Only do it at the end
of the whole depopulate process.
- checkpatch cleanups

Supporting VMAP_STACK with KASAN_VMALLOC is straightforward:

- clear the shadow region of vmapped stacks when swapping them in
- tweak Kconfig to allow VMAP_STACK to be turned on with KASAN

In the case where KASAN directly allocates memory to back vmalloc
space, don't map the early shadow page over it.

We prepopulate pgds/p4ds for the range that would otherwise be empty.
This is required to get it synced to hardware on boot, allowing the
lower levels of the page tables to be filled dynamically.

v10: rebase on linux-next/master.

v8: rename kasan_vmalloc/shadow_pages -> kasan/vmalloc_shadow_pages

On v4 (no dynamic freeing), I saw the following approximate figures
on my test VM:

- fresh boot: 720
- after test_vmalloc: ~14000

With v5 (lazy dynamic freeing):

- boot: ~490-500
- running modprobe test_vmalloc pushes the figures up to sometimes
as high as ~14000, but they drop down to ~560 after the test ends.
I'm not sure where the extra sixty pages are from, but running the
test repeately doesn't cause the number to keep growing, so I don't
think we're leaking.
- with vmap_stack, spawning tasks pushes the figure up to ~4200, then
some clearing kicks in and drops it down to previous levels again.

Just sharing the thought. We could possibly add poisoning in free_thread_stack()
to catch possible usage of freed cached stack. But it might be a bad idea because cached
stacks supposed to be reused very quickly. So it might just add overhead without much gain.

This doesn't make sense. start is not even a pfn. With linear mapping
we try to identify nid to have the shadow on the same node as memory. But
in this case we don't have memory or the corresponding shadow (yet),
we only install pgd/p4d.
I guess we could just use NUMA_NO_NODE.

The rest looks ok, so with that fixed:

I wouldn't merge this. I don't see use-case for this, besides
testing this patch set. And I think that number should be possible to
extract via page_owner mechanism.

Ah wow, that's quite the clanger on my part.

There are a couple of other invocations of early_pfn_to_nid in that file
that use an address directly, but at least they reference actual memory.
I'll send a separate patch to fix those up.

I see only one incorrect, in kasan_init(): early_pfn_to_nid(__pa(_stext))
It should be wrapped with PFN_DOWN().
Other usages in map_range() seems to be correct, range->start,end is pfns.

This should be VMALLOC_START, there is no point to allocate pgds for the hole between linear mapping
and vmalloc, just waste of memory. It make sense to map early shadow for that hole, because if code
dereferences address in that hole we will see the page fault on that address instead of fault on the shadow.

So something like this might work:

kasan_populate_early_shadow(
kasan_mem_to_shadow((void *)PAGE_OFFSET + MAXMEM),
kasan_mem_to_shadow((void *)VMALLOC_START));

if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KASAN_VMALLOC)
kasan_shallow_populate_pgds(kasan_mem_to_shadow(VMALLOC_START), kasan_mem_to_shadow((void *)VMALLOC_END))
else
kasan_populate_early_shadow(kasan_mem_to_shadow(VMALLOC_START), kasan_mem_to_shadow((void *)VMALLOC_END));

kasan_populate_early_shadow(
kasan_mem_to_shadow((void *)VMALLOC_END + 1),
shadow_cpu_entry_begin);

I have some questions here. I have not analyzed kasan_releace_vmalloc()
logic in detail, sorry for that if i miss something. __purge_vmap_area_lazy()
deals with big address space, so not only vmalloc addresses it frees here,
basically it can be any, starting from 1 until ULONG_MAX, whereas vmalloc
space spans from VMALLOC_START - VMALLOC_END:

1) Should it be checked that vmalloc only address is freed or you handle
it somewhere else?

if (is_vmalloc_addr(va->va_start))
kasan_release_vmalloc(...)

2) Have you run any bencmarking just to see how much overhead it adds?
I am asking, because probably it make sense to add those figures to the
backlog(commit message). For example you can run:

<snip>
sudo ./test_vmalloc.sh performance
and
sudo ./test_vmalloc.sh sequential_test_order=1
<snip>

Thanks!

So in kasan_release_vmalloc we only free the region covered by the
shadow of orig_start to orig_end, and possibly 1 page to either side. So
it will never attempt to free an enormous area. And it will also do
nothing if called for a region where there is no shadow backin
installed.

Having said that, there should be a test on orig_start, and I've added
that in v11 - good catch.

I have now done that:

Testing with test_vmalloc.sh on an x86 VM with 2 vCPUs shows that:

- Turning on KASAN, inline instrumentation, without this feature, introuduces
a 4.1x-4.2x slowdown in vmalloc operations.

- Turning this on introduces the following slowdowns over KASAN:
* ~1.76x slower single-threaded (test_vmalloc.sh performance)
* ~2.18x slower when both cpus are performing operations
simultaneously (test_vmalloc.sh sequential_test_order=1)

This is unfortunate but given that this is a debug feature only, not
the end of the world.

The full figures are:

Currently, vmalloc space is backed by the early shadow page. This
means that kasan is incompatible with VMAP_STACK.

This series provides a mechanism to back vmalloc space with real,
dynamically allocated memory. I have only wired up x86, because that's
the only currently supported arch I can work with easily, but it's
very easy to wire up other architectures, and it appears that there is
some work-in-progress code to do this on arm64 and s390.

This has been discussed before in the context of VMAP_STACK:
- https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=202009
- https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/7/22/198
- https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/7/19/822

In terms of implementation details:

Most mappings in vmalloc space are small, requiring less than a full
page of shadow space. Allocating a full shadow page per mapping would
therefore be wasteful. Furthermore, to ensure that different mappings
use different shadow pages, mappings would have to be aligned to
KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SIZE * PAGE_SIZE.

Instead, share backing space across multiple mappings. Allocate a
backing page when a mapping in vmalloc space uses a particular page of
the shadow region. This page can be shared by other vmalloc mappings
later on.

We hook in to the vmap infrastructure to lazily clean up unused shadow
memory.

Testing with test_vmalloc.sh on an x86 VM with 2 vCPUs shows that:

- Turning on KASAN, inline instrumentation, without vmalloc, introuduces
a 4.1x-4.2x slowdown in vmalloc operations.

- Turning this on introduces the following slowdowns over KASAN:
* ~1.76x slower single-threaded (test_vmalloc.sh performance)
* ~2.18x slower when both cpus are performing operations
simultaneously (test_vmalloc.sh sequential_test_order=1)

This is unfortunate but given that this is a debug feature only, not
the end of the world. The benchmarks are also a stress-test for the
vmalloc subsystem: they're not indicative of an overall 2x slowdown!

Hook into vmalloc and vmap, and dynamically allocate real shadow
memory to back the mappings.

Most mappings in vmalloc space are small, requiring less than a full
page of shadow space. Allocating a full shadow page per mapping would
therefore be wasteful. Furthermore, to ensure that different mappings
use different shadow pages, mappings would have to be aligned to
KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SIZE * PAGE_SIZE.

Instead, share backing space across multiple mappings. Allocate a
backing page when a mapping in vmalloc space uses a particular page of
the shadow region. This page can be shared by other vmalloc mappings
later on.

We hook in to the vmap infrastructure to lazily clean up unused shadow
memory.

To avoid the difficulties around swapping mappings around, this code
expects that the part of the shadow region that covers the vmalloc
space will not be covered by the early shadow page, but will be left
unmapped. This will require changes in arch-specific code.

This allows KASAN with VMAP_STACK, and may be helpful for architectures
that do not have a separate module space (e.g. powerpc64, which I am
currently working on). It also allows relaxing the module alignment
back to PAGE_SIZE.

Testing with test_vmalloc.sh on an x86 VM with 2 vCPUs shows that:

- Turning on KASAN, inline instrumentation, without vmalloc, introuduces
a 4.1x-4.2x slowdown in vmalloc operations.

- Turning this on introduces the following slowdowns over KASAN:
* ~1.76x slower single-threaded (test_vmalloc.sh performance)
* ~2.18x slower when both cpus are performing operations
simultaneously (test_vmalloc.sh sequential_test_order=1)

This is unfortunate but given that this is a debug feature only, not
the end of the world.

Supporting VMAP_STACK with KASAN_VMALLOC is straightforward:

- clear the shadow region of vmapped stacks when swapping them in
- tweak Kconfig to allow VMAP_STACK to be turned on with KASAN

In the case where KASAN directly allocates memory to back vmalloc
space, don't map the early shadow page over it.

We prepopulate pgds/p4ds for the range that would otherwise be empty.
This is required to get it synced to hardware on boot, allowing the
lower levels of the page tables to be filled dynamically.

You can send just the fix. Andrew will fold it into the original patch before sending it to Linus.

Hi Andrew,

This is a quick fixup to patch 1 of the "kasan: support backing
vmalloc space with real shadow memory" series, v11, which you pulled
in to your mmotm tree.

There are 2 changes:

- A fixup to the per-cpu allocator path to avoid allocating memory
under a spinlock, thanks Qian Cai.

- Insert flush_cache_vmap() between mapping shadow and poisoning
it. This is a no-op on x86 and arm64, but on powerpc it does a
ptesync instruction which prevents occasional page faults.

Here are updated benchmark figures for the commit message:

Testing with test_vmalloc.sh on an x86 VM with 2 vCPUs shows that:

- Turning on KASAN, inline instrumentation, without vmalloc, introuduces
a 5.7x-6.4x slowdown in vmalloc operations.

- Turning this on introduces the following slowdowns over KASAN:
* ~1.82x slower single-threaded (test_vmalloc.sh performance)
* ~2.11x slower when both cpus are performing operations
simultaneously (test_vmalloc.sh sequential_test_order=1)

This is unfortunate, but given that this is a debug feature only, not
the end of the world.

The full results are:

Very likely the same as with ion:

# git grep vm_map_ram|grep xfs
fs/xfs/xfs_buf.c: * vm_map_ram() will allocate auxiliary structures (e.g.
fs/xfs/xfs_buf.c: bp->b_addr = vm_map_ram(bp->b_pages, bp->b_page_count,

Hi Dmitry,
It looks like this one is the same.

There is a patch to fix it:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/201911200527...@axtens.net/

Andrew said he had picked it up on the 22nd:
https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm-commits&m=157438241512561&w=2
It's landed in mmots but not mmotm, so hopefully that will happen and
then it will land in -next very soon!

I will look into your other bug report shortly.

Regards,
Daniel

Aaargh, that's an embarassing miss.

It's a bit intricate because kasan_vmalloc_populate function is
currently set up to take a vm_struct not a vmap_area, but I'll see if I
can get something simple out this evening - I'm away for the first part
of next week.

Do you have to do anything interesting to get it to explode with xfs? Is
it as simple as mounting a drive and doing some I/O? Or do you need to
do something more involved?

Daniel

As simple as running syzkaller :)

I instead trigger something a bit different by manually triggering a crash first to make the XFS
partition uncleanly shutdown.

# echo c >/proc/sysrq-trigger

and then reboot the same kernel where it will crash while checking the XFS. This can be workaround
by rebooting to an older kernel (v4.18) first where xfs_repair will be successfully there, and then rebooting
to the new linux-next kernel will be fine.

For crashes in XFS, binder etc that implicate vm_map_ram, see:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/2019112915451...@axtens.net/

The easiest way I found to repro the bug is
sudo modprobe i915 mock_selftest=-1

For lock warns, one that goes through the percpu alloc path, the patch
is already queued in mmots.

For Dmitry's latest one where there's an allocation in the
purge_vmap_area_lazy path that triggers a locking warning, you'll have
to wait until next week, sorry.

Regards,
Daniel

There is also work for providing VMAP_STACK on powerpc32. There is a
series waiting to be merged at
