This has served its purpose and is no longer used.  All usercopy
violations appear to have been handled by now, any remaining instances
(or new bugs) will cause copies to be rejected.

This isn't a direct revert of commit 2d891fbc3bb6 ("usercopy: Allow
strict enforcement of whitelists"); since usercopy_fallback is
effectively 0, the fallback handling is removed too.

This also removes the usercopy_fallback module parameter on slab_common.

<title>mm: slub: move flush_cpu_slab() invocations __free_slab() invocations out of IRQ context</title>

flush_all() flushes a specific SLAB cache on each CPU (where the cache
is present). The deactivate_slab()/__free_slab() invocation happens
within IPI handler and is problematic for PREEMPT_RT.

The flush operation is not a frequent operation or a hot path. The
per-CPU flush operation can be moved to within a workqueue.

Because a workqueue handler, unlike IPI handler, does not disable irqs,
flush_slab() now has to disable them for working with the kmem_cache_cpu
fields. deactivate_slab() is safe to call with irqs enabled.

The KMALLOC_NORMAL (kmalloc-&lt;n&gt;) caches are for unaccounted objects only
when CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is enabled.  To make sure that this condition
remains true, we will have to prevent KMALOC_NORMAL caches to merge with
other kmem caches.  This is now done by setting its refcount to -1 right
after its creation.

<title>mm: memcg/slab: create a new set of kmalloc-cg-&lt;n&gt; caches</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=494c1dfe855ec1f70f89552fce5eadf4a1717552'/>
<id>urn:sha1:494c1dfe855ec1f70f89552fce5eadf4a1717552</id>
<content type='text'>
There are currently two problems in the way the objcg pointer array
(memcg_data) in the page structure is being allocated and freed.

On its allocation, it is possible that the allocated objcg pointer
array comes from the same slab that requires memory accounting. If this
happens, the slab will never become empty again as there is at least
one object left (the obj_cgroup array) in the slab.

When it is freed, the objcg pointer array object may be the last one
in its slab and hence causes kfree() to be called again. With the
right workload, the slab cache may be set up in a way that allows the
recursive kfree() calling loop to nest deep enough to cause a kernel
stack overflow and panic the system.

One way to solve this problem is to split the kmalloc-&lt;n&gt; caches
(KMALLOC_NORMAL) into two separate sets - a new set of kmalloc-&lt;n&gt;
(KMALLOC_NORMAL) caches for unaccounted objects only and a new set of
kmalloc-cg-&lt;n&gt; (KMALLOC_CGROUP) caches for accounted objects only. All
the other caches can still allow a mix of accounted and unaccounted
objects.

With this change, all the objcg pointer array objects will come from
KMALLOC_NORMAL caches which won't have their objcg pointer arrays. So
both the recursive kfree() problem and non-freeable slab problem are
gone.

Since both the KMALLOC_NORMAL and KMALLOC_CGROUP caches no longer have
mixed accounted and unaccounted objects, this will slightly reduce the
number of objcg pointer arrays that need to be allocated and save a bit
of memory. On the other hand, creating a new set of kmalloc caches does
have the effect of reducing cache utilization. So it is properly a wash.

The new KMALLOC_CGROUP is added between KMALLOC_NORMAL and
KMALLOC_RECLAIM so that the first for loop in create_kmalloc_caches()
will include the newly added caches without change.

<title>mm: slub: move sysfs slab alloc/free interfaces to debugfs</title>

<content type='text'>
alloc_calls and free_calls implementation in sysfs have two issues, one is
PAGE_SIZE limitation of sysfs and other is it does not adhere to "one
value per file" rule.

To overcome this issues, move the alloc_calls and free_calls
implementation to debugfs.

Debugfs cache will be created if SLAB_STORE_USER flag is set.

Rename the alloc_calls/free_calls to alloc_traces/free_traces, to be
inline with what it does.

<id>urn:sha1:588c7fa022d7b2361500ead5660d9a1a2ecd9b7d</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently when size is not supported by kmalloc_index, compiler will
generate a run-time BUG() while compile-time error is also possible, and
better.  So change BUG to BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG to make compile-time check
possible.

Also remove code that allocates more than 32MB because current
implementation supports only up to 32MB.

<title>mm/slub: fix redzoning for small allocations</title>

<id>urn:sha1:74c1d3e081533825f2611e46edea1fcdc0701985</id>
<content type='text'>
The redzone area for SLUB exists between s-&gt;object_size and s-&gt;inuse
(which is at least the word-aligned object_size).  If a cache were
created with an object_size smaller than sizeof(void *), the in-object
stored freelist pointer would overwrite the redzone (e.g.  with boot
param "slub_debug=ZF"):

  BUG test (Tainted: G    B            ): Right Redzone overwritten

  Padding  (____ptrval____): 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00    ........

Store the freelist pointer out of line when object_size is smaller than
sizeof(void *) and redzoning is enabled.

Additionally remove the "smaller than sizeof(void *)" check under
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM in kmem_cache_sanity_check() as it is now redundant:
SLAB and SLOB both handle small sizes.

(Note that no caches within this size range are known to exist in the
kernel currently.)

This is because there's one order of locking from the hotplug callbacks:

lock(cpu_hotplug_lock); // from hotplug machinery itself
lock(slab_mutex); // in e.g. slab_mem_going_offline_callback()

And commit 1f0723a4c0df made the reverse sequence possible:
lock(slab_mutex); // in kmem_cache_create_usercopy()
lock(cpu_hotplug_lock); // kmem_cache_open() -&gt; static_key_enable()

The simplest fix is to move static_key_enable() to a place before slab_mutex is
taken. That means kmem_cache_create_usercopy() in mm/slab_common.c which is not
ideal for SLUB-specific code, but the #ifdef CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG makes it
at least self-contained and obvious.
