mm: introduce arch_get_unmapped_area_vmflags()

2024-04-26T03:56:26Z

When memory is being placed, mmap() will take care to respect the guard gaps of certain types of memory (VM_SHADOWSTACK, VM_GROWSUP and VM_GROWSDOWN). In order to ensure guard gaps between mappings, mmap() needs to consider two things: 1. That the new mapping isn't placed in an any existing mappings guard gaps. 2. That the new mapping isn't placed such that any existing mappings are not in *its* guard gaps. The longstanding behavior of mmap() is to ensure 1, but not take any care around 2. So for example, if there is a PAGE_SIZE free area, and a mmap() with a PAGE_SIZE size, and a type that has a guard gap is being placed, mmap() may place the shadow stack in the PAGE_SIZE free area. Then the mapping that is supposed to have a guard gap will not have a gap to the adjacent VMA. In order to take the start gap into account, the maple tree search needs to know the size of start gap the new mapping will need. The call chain from do_mmap() to the actual maple tree search looks like this: do_mmap(size, vm_flags, map_flags, ..) mm/mmap.c:get_unmapped_area(size, map_flags, ...) arch_get_unmapped_area(size, map_flags, ...) vm_unmapped_area(struct vm_unmapped_area_info) One option would be to add another MAP_ flag to mean a one page start gap (as is for shadow stack), but this consumes a flag unnecessarily. Another option could be to simply increase the size passed in do_mmap() by the start gap size, and adjust after the fact, but this will interfere with the alignment requirements passed in struct vm_unmapped_area_info, and unknown to mmap.c. Instead, introduce variants of arch_get_unmapped_area/_topdown() that take vm_flags. In future changes, these variants can be used in mmap.c:get_unmapped_area() to allow the vm_flags to be passed through to vm_unmapped_area(), while preserving the normal arch_get_unmapped_area/_topdown() for the existing callers.

mm: switch mm->get_unmapped_area() to a flag

2024-04-26T03:56:25Z

The mm_struct contains a function pointer *get_unmapped_area(), which is set to either arch_get_unmapped_area() or arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown() during the initialization of the mm. Since the function pointer only ever points to two functions that are named the same across all arch's, a function pointer is not really required. In addition future changes will want to add versions of the functions that take additional arguments. So to save a pointers worth of bytes in mm_struct, and prevent adding additional function pointers to mm_struct in future changes, remove it and keep the information about which get_unmapped_area() to use in a flag. Add the new flag to MMF_INIT_MASK so it doesn't get clobbered on fork by mmf_init_flags(). Most MM flags get clobbered on fork. In the pre-existing behavior mm->get_unmapped_area() would get copied to the new mm in dup_mm(), so not clobbering the flag preserves the existing behavior around inheriting the topdown-ness. Introduce a helper, mm_get_unmapped_area(), to easily convert code that refers to the old function pointer to instead select and call either arch_get_unmapped_area() or arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown() based on the flag. Then drop the mm->get_unmapped_area() function pointer. Leave the get_unmapped_area() pointer in struct file_operations alone. The main purpose of this change is to reorganize in preparation for future changes, but it also converts the calls of mm->get_unmapped_area() from indirect branches into a direct ones. The stress-ng bigheap benchmark calls realloc a lot, which calls through get_unmapped_area() in the kernel. On x86, the change yielded a ~1% improvement there on a retpoline config. In testing a few x86 configs, removing the pointer unfortunately didn't result in any actual size reductions in the compiled layout of mm_struct. But depending on compiler or arch alignment requirements, the change could shrink the size of mm_struct.

mm: document memalloc_noreclaim_save() and memalloc_pin_save()

2024-02-22T18:24:57Z

The memalloc_noreclaim_save() function currently has no documentation comment, so the implications of its usage are not obvious. Namely that it not only prevents entering reclaim (as the name suggests), but also allows using all memory reserves and thus should be only used in contexts that are allocating memory to free memory. This may lead to new improper usages being added. Thus add a documenting comment, based on the description of __GFP_MEMALLOC. While at it, also document memalloc_pin_save() so that all the memalloc_ scopes are documented. For those already documented, add missing Return: descriptions, and mark Context: description per kernel-docs style guide. In the comments describing the relevant PF_MEMALLOC flags, refer to their scope setting functions.

mm: kmem: scoped objcg protection

2023-10-25T23:47:11Z

Switch to a scope-based protection of the objcg pointer on slab/kmem allocation paths. Instead of using the get_() semantics in the pre-allocation hook and put the reference afterwards, let's rely on the fact that objcg is pinned by the scope. It's possible because: 1) if the objcg is received from the current task struct, the task is keeping a reference to the objcg. 2) if the objcg is received from an active memcg (remote charging), the memcg is pinned by the scope and has a reference to the corresponding objcg.
