ANDROID: gki_defconfig: reduce KFENCE pool size
CONFIG_KFENCE_NUM_OBJECTS controls the constant memory overhead that
KFENCE introduces for its memory pool. By default it is 255 objects
(2Mb extra memory), but since concerns have been raised that low-memory
devices may not afford that, we are lowering the number of objects
to 63 (512Kb extra memory).

So far we haven't seen Android devices allocate more than 50 KFENCE
objects. Should the kernel exhaust the pool, KFENCE will stop allocating
new objects and fall back to SLAB/SLUB until one of the objects is
freed.

An immediate consequence of reducing the pool size is that a freed
KFENCE object will be reused 4x times faster, effectively reducing the
probability of detecting a use-after-free. Since KFENCE is a best-effort
error detection tool, not a use-after-free mitigation mechanism, we
believe this should not be problematic.

ANDROID: GKI: enable KFENCE by setting the sample interval to 500ms
This change effectively enables KFENCE in GKI kernels with a sample
interval of 500ms.
It is still possible to disable KFENCE at boot time using
kfence.sample_interval=0.

UPSTREAM: random: split initialization into early step and later step
The full RNG initialization relies on some timestamps, made possible
with initialization functions like time_init() and timekeeping_init().
However, these are only available rather late in initialization.
Meanwhile, other things, such as memory allocator functions, make use of
the RNG much earlier.

So split RNG initialization into two phases. We can provide arch
randomness very early on, and then later, after timekeeping and such are
available, initialize the rest.

This ensures that, for example, slabs are properly randomized if RDRAND
is available. Without this, CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM=y loses a degree
of its security, because its random seed is potentially deterministic,
since it hasn't yet incorporated RDRAND. It also makes it possible to
use a better seed in kfence, which currently relies on only the cycle
counter.

Another positive consequence is that on systems with RDRAND, running
with CONFIG_WARN_ALL_UNSEEDED_RANDOM=y results in no warnings at all.

One subtle side effect of this change is that on systems with no RDRAND,
RDTSC is now only queried by random_init() once, committing the moment
of the function call, instead of multiple times as before. This is
intentional, as the multiple RDTSCs in a loop before weren't
accomplishing very much, with jitter being better provided by
try_to_generate_entropy(). Plus, filling blocks with RDTSC is still
being done in extract_entropy(), which is necessarily called before
random bytes are served anyway.

UPSTREAM: kfence: avoid passing -g for test
Nathan reported that when building with GNU as and a version of clang that
defaults to DWARF5:

  $ make -skj"$(nproc)" ARCH=riscv CROSS_COMPILE=riscv64-linux-gnu- \
			LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=0 O=build \
			mrproper allmodconfig mm/kfence/kfence_test.o
  /tmp/kfence_test-08a0a0.s: Assembler messages:

  /tmp/kfence_test-08a0a0.s:14639: Error: non-constant .uleb128 is not supported
  ...

This is because `-g` defaults to the compiler debug info default.  If the
assembler does not support some of the directives used, the above errors
occur.  To fix, remove the explicit passing of `-g`.

All the test wants is that stack traces print valid function names, and
debug info is not required for that.  (I currently cannot recall why I
added the explicit `-g`.)

UPSTREAM: net: add and use skb_unclone_keeptruesize() helper
While commit 097b9146c0e2 ("net: fix up truesize of cloned
skb in skb_prepare_for_shift()") fixed immediate issues found
when KFENCE was enabled/tested, there are still similar issues,
when tcp_trim_head() hits KFENCE while the master skb
is cloned.

This happens under heavy networking TX workloads,
when the TX completion might be delayed after incoming ACK.

This patch fixes the WARNING in sk_stream_kill_queues
when sk->sk_mem_queued/sk->sk_forward_alloc are not zero.

         do_syscall_64+0x33/0x40
         entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9

I find that we can easily reproduce this problem with the following
commands:

	cat /sys/kernel/debug/kfence/objects
	echo scan > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
	cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak

The leaked memory is allocated in the stack below:

    do_syscall_64
      do_sys_open
        do_dentry_open
          full_proxy_open
            seq_open            ---> alloc seq_file
      vfs_read
        full_proxy_read
          seq_read
            seq_read_iter
              traverse          ---> alloc seq_buf

And it should have been released in the following process:

    do_syscall_64
      syscall_exit_to_user_mode
        exit_to_user_mode_prepare
          task_work_run
            ____fput
              __fput
                full_proxy_release  ---> free here

However, the release function corresponding to file_operations is not
implemented in kfence.  As a result, a memory leak occurs.  Therefore,
the solution to this problem is to implement the corresponding release
function.

UPSTREAM: kfence: unconditionally use unbound work queue
Unconditionally use unbound work queue, and not just if wq_power_efficient
is true.  Because if the system is idle, KFENCE may wait, and by being run
on the unbound work queue, we permit the scheduler to make better
scheduling decisions and not require pinning KFENCE to the same CPU upon
waking up.

UPSTREAM: kfence: use TASK_IDLE when awaiting allocation
Since wait_event() uses TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE by default, waiting for an
allocation counts towards load.  However, for KFENCE, this does not make
any sense, since there is no busy work we're awaiting.

Instead, use TASK_IDLE via wait_event_idle() to not count towards load.

UPSTREAM: kfence: fix is_kfence_address() for addresses below KFENCE_POOL_SIZE
Originally the addr != NULL check was meant to take care of the case
where __kfence_pool == NULL (KFENCE is disabled).  However, this does
not work for addresses where addr > 0 && addr < KFENCE_POOL_SIZE.

This can be the case on NULL-deref where addr > 0 && addr < PAGE_SIZE or
any other faulting access with addr < KFENCE_POOL_SIZE.  While the
kernel would likely crash, the stack traces and report might be
confusing due to double faults upon KFENCE's attempt to unprotect such
an address.

Fix it by just checking that __kfence_pool != NULL instead.

FROMLIST: kfence: skip all GFP_ZONEMASK allocations
Allocation requests outside ZONE_NORMAL (MOVABLE, HIGHMEM or DMA) cannot
be fulfilled by KFENCE, because KFENCE memory pool is located in a
zone different from the requested one.

Because callers of kmem_cache_alloc() may actually rely on the
allocation to reside in the requested zone (e.g. memory allocations done
with __GFP_DMA must be DMAable), skip all allocations done with
GFP_ZONEMASK and/or respective SLAB flags (SLAB_CACHE_DMA and
SLAB_CACHE_DMA32).

ANDROID: kasan: fix interoperability with KFENCE
MTE-related KASAN changes were preceded by noticeable KASAN refactorings
that were backported to android12-5.10, but not android12-5.4.
As a result, some last-minute mm changes fixing "kfence, kasan: make KFENCE
compatible with KASAN"
(https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/common/+/f03825db4d6834a9d97e96eee2404a36ca79dafa)
did not make it to android12-5.4.

Given that they do not exist as separate upstream commits and do not
apply cleanly to 5.4 kernels, reimplement them.

These changes boil down to skipping KASAN poisoning for KFENCE-allocated
objects and to resetting the object tag in __kasan_kmalloc().

UPSTREAM: arm64: mm: don't use CON and BLK mapping if KFENCE is enabled
When we added KFENCE support for arm64, we intended that it would
force the entire linear map to be mapped at page granularity, but we
only enforced this in arch_add_memory() and not in map_mem(), so
memory mapped at boot time can be mapped at a larger granularity.

When booting a kernel with KFENCE=y and RODATA_FULL=n, this results in
the following WARNING at boot:

FROMGIT: kfence: maximize allocation wait timeout duration
The allocation wait timeout was initially added because of warnings due to
CONFIG_DETECT_HUNG_TASK=y [1].  While the 1 sec timeout is sufficient to
resolve the warnings (given the hung task timeout must be 1 sec or larger)
it may cause unnecessary wake-ups if the system is idle.  [1]
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/CADYN=9J0DQhizAGB0-jz4HOBBh+05kMBXb4c0cXMS7Qi5NAJiw@mail.gmail.com

Fix it by computing the timeout duration in terms of the current
sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs value.

FROMGIT: kfence: await for allocation using wait_event
Patch series "kfence: optimize timer scheduling", v2.

We have observed that mostly-idle systems with KFENCE enabled wake up
otherwise idle CPUs, preventing such to enter a lower power state.
Debugging revealed that KFENCE spends too much active time in
toggle_allocation_gate().

While the first version of KFENCE was using all the right bits to be
scheduling optimal, and thus power efficient, by simply using wait_event()
+ wake_up(), that code was unfortunately removed.

As KFENCE was exposed to various different configs and tests, the
scheduling optimal code slowly disappeared.  First because of hung task
warnings, and finally because of deadlocks when an allocation is made by
timer code with debug objects enabled.  Clearly, the "fixes" were not too
friendly for devices that want to be power efficient.

Therefore, let's try a little harder to fix the hung task and deadlock
problems that we have with wait_event() + wake_up(), while remaining as
scheduling friendly and power efficient as possible.

Crucially, we need to defer the wake_up() to an irq_work, avoiding any
potential for deadlock.

The result with this series is that on the devices where we observed a
power regression, power usage returns back to baseline levels.

This patch (of 3):

On mostly-idle systems, we have observed that toggle_allocation_gate() is
a cause of frequent wake-ups, preventing an otherwise idle CPU to go into
a lower power state.

A late change in KFENCE's development, due to a potential deadlock [1],
required changing the scheduling-friendly wait_event_timeout() and
wake_up() to an open-coded wait-loop using schedule_timeout().  [1]
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/000000000000c0645805b7f982e4@google.com

To avoid unnecessary wake-ups, switch to using wait_event_timeout().

Unfortunately, we still cannot use a version with direct wake_up() in
__kfence_alloc() due to the same potential for deadlock as in [1].
Instead, add a level of indirection via an irq_work that is scheduled if
we determine that the kfence_timer requires a wake_up().

UPSTREAM: kfence: make compatible with kmemleak
Because memblock allocations are registered with kmemleak, the KFENCE
pool was seen by kmemleak as one large object.  Later allocations
through kfence_alloc() that were registered with kmemleak via
slab_post_alloc_hook() would then overlap and trigger a warning.
Therefore, once the pool is initialized, we can remove (free) it from
kmemleak again, since it should be treated as allocator-internal and be
seen as "free memory".

The second problem is that kmemleak is passed the rounded size, and not
the originally requested size, which is also the size of KFENCE objects.
To avoid kmemleak scanning past the end of an object and trigger a
KFENCE out-of-bounds error, fix the size if it is a KFENCE object.

For simplicity, to avoid a call to kfence_ksize() in
slab_post_alloc_hook() (and avoid new IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK)
guard), just call kfence_ksize() in mm/kmemleak.c:create_object().

Instead, simply rely on the newly introduced "no_hash_pointers" to print
unhashed kernel pointers, as well as decide if our reports can include
other potentially sensitive information such as registers and corrupted
bytes.

UPSTREAM: lib/vsprintf: no_hash_pointers prints all addresses as unhashed
If the no_hash_pointers command line parameter is set, then
printk("%p") will print pointers as unhashed, which is useful for
debugging purposes.  This change applies to any function that uses
vsprintf, such as print_hex_dump() and seq_buf_printf().

A large warning message is displayed if this option is enabled.
Unhashed pointers expose kernel addresses, which can be a security
risk.

Also update test_printf to skip the hashed pointer tests if the
command-line option is set.

FROMGIT: kfence: use error_report_end tracepoint
Make it possible to trace KFENCE error reporting.  A good usecase is
watching for trace events from the userspace to detect and process memory
corruption reports from the kernel.

FROMGIT: tracing: add error_report_end trace point
Patch series "Add error_report_end tracepoint to KFENCE and KASAN", v3.

This patchset adds a tracepoint, error_repor_end, that is to be used by
KFENCE, KASAN, and potentially other bug detection tools, when they print
an error report.  One of the possible use cases is userspace collection of
kernel error reports: interested parties can subscribe to the tracing
event via tracefs, and get notified when an error report occurs.

This patch (of 3):

Introduce error_report_end tracepoint.  It can be used in debugging tools
like KASAN, KFENCE, etc.  to provide extensions to the error reporting
mechanisms (e.g.  allow tests hook into error reporting, ease error report
collection from production kernels).  Another benefit would be making use
of ftrace for debugging or benchmarking the tools themselves.

Should we need it, the tracepoint name leaves us with the possibility to
introduce a complementary error_report_start tracepoint in the future.

BACKPORT: mm, kfence: insert KFENCE hooks for SLUB
Inserts KFENCE hooks into the SLUB allocator.

To pass the originally requested size to KFENCE, add an argument
'orig_size' to slab_alloc*(). The additional argument is required to
preserve the requested original size for kmalloc() allocations, which
uses size classes (e.g. an allocation of 272 bytes will return an object
of size 512). Therefore, kmem_cache::size does not represent the
kmalloc-caller's requested size, and we must introduce the argument
'orig_size' to propagate the originally requested size to KFENCE.

Without the originally requested size, we would not be able to detect
out-of-bounds accesses for objects placed at the end of a KFENCE object
page if that object is not equal to the kmalloc-size class it was
bucketed into.

When KFENCE is disabled, there is no additional overhead, since
slab_alloc*() functions are __always_inline.

FROMGIT: mm/slab: rerform init_on_free earlier
Currently in CONFIG_SLAB init_on_free happens too late, and heap objects
go to the heap quarantine not being erased.

Lets move init_on_free clearing before calling kasan_slab_free().  In that
case heap quarantine will store erased objects, similarly to CONFIG_SLUB=y
behavior.

FROMGIT: kfence: use pt_regs to generate stack trace on faults
Instead of removing the fault handling portion of the stack trace based on
the fault handler's name, just use struct pt_regs directly.

Change kfence_handle_page_fault() to take a struct pt_regs, and plumb it
through to kfence_report_error() for out-of-bounds, use-after-free, or
invalid access errors, where pt_regs is used to generate the stack trace.

If the kernel is a DEBUG_KERNEL, also show registers for more information.

BACKPORT: arm64, kfence: enable KFENCE for ARM64
Add architecture specific implementation details for KFENCE and enable
KFENCE for the arm64 architecture. In particular, this implements the
required interface in <asm/kfence.h>.

KFENCE requires that attributes for pages from its memory pool can
individually be set. Therefore, force the entire linear map to be mapped
at page granularity. Doing so may result in extra memory allocated for
page tables in case rodata=full is not set; however, currently
CONFIG_RODATA_FULL_DEFAULT_ENABLED=y is the default, and the common case
is therefore not affected by this change.

FROMGIT: kfence: add option to use KFENCE without static keys
For certain usecases, specifically where the sample interval is always
set to a very low value such as 1ms, it can make sense to use a dynamic
branch instead of static branches due to the overhead of toggling a
static branch.

Therefore, add a new Kconfig option to remove the static branches and
instead check kfence_allocation_gate if a KFENCE allocation should be
set up.

FROMGIT: kfence: fix potential deadlock due to wake_up()
Lockdep reports that we may deadlock when calling wake_up() in
__kfence_alloc(), because we may already hold base->lock.  This can happen
if debug objects are enabled:

    ...
    __kfence_alloc+0xa0/0xbc0 mm/kfence/core.c:710
    kfence_alloc include/linux/kfence.h:108 [inline]
    ...

    __mod_timer+0x77d/0xe30 kernel/time/timer.c:1048
    ...

Therefore, switch to an open-coded wait loop.  The difference to before is
that the waiter wakes up and rechecks the condition after 1 jiffy;
however, given the infrequency of kfence allocations, the difference is
insignificant.

FROMGIT: kfence: avoid stalling work queue task without allocations
To toggle the allocation gates, we set up a delayed work that calls
toggle_allocation_gate().  Here we use wait_event() to await an allocation
and subsequently disable the static branch again.  However, if the kernel
has stopped doing allocations entirely, we'd wait indefinitely, and stall
the worker task.  This may also result in the appropriate warnings if
CONFIG_DETECT_HUNG_TASK=y.

Therefore, introduce a 1 second timeout and use wait_event_timeout().  If
the timeout is reached, the static branch is disabled and a new delayed
work is scheduled to try setting up an allocation at a later time.

Note that, this scenario is very unlikely during normal workloads once the
kernel has booted and user space tasks are running.  It can, however,
happen during early boot after KFENCE has been enabled, when e.g.  running
tests that do not result in any allocations.

BACKPORT: mm: add Kernel Electric-Fence infrastructure
Patch series "KFENCE: A low-overhead sampling-based memory safety error detector", v7.

This adds the Kernel Electric-Fence (KFENCE) infrastructure. KFENCE is a
low-overhead sampling-based memory safety error detector of heap
use-after-free, invalid-free, and out-of-bounds access errors.  This
series enables KFENCE for the x86 and arm64 architectures, and adds
KFENCE hooks to the SLAB and SLUB allocators.

KFENCE is designed to be enabled in production kernels, and has near
zero performance overhead. Compared to KASAN, KFENCE trades performance
for precision. The main motivation behind KFENCE's design, is that with
enough total uptime KFENCE will detect bugs in code paths not typically
exercised by non-production test workloads. One way to quickly achieve a
large enough total uptime is when the tool is deployed across a large
fleet of machines.

KFENCE objects each reside on a dedicated page, at either the left or
right page boundaries. The pages to the left and right of the object
page are "guard pages", whose attributes are changed to a protected
state, and cause page faults on any attempted access to them. Such page
faults are then intercepted by KFENCE, which handles the fault
gracefully by reporting a memory access error.

Guarded allocations are set up based on a sample interval (can be set
via kfence.sample_interval). After expiration of the sample interval,
the next allocation through the main allocator (SLAB or SLUB) returns a
guarded allocation from the KFENCE object pool. At this point, the timer
is reset, and the next allocation is set up after the expiration of the
interval.

To enable/disable a KFENCE allocation through the main allocator's
fast-path without overhead, KFENCE relies on static branches via the
static keys infrastructure. The static branch is toggled to redirect the
allocation to KFENCE.

The KFENCE memory pool is of fixed size, and if the pool is exhausted no
further KFENCE allocations occur. The default config is conservative
with only 255 objects, resulting in a pool size of 2 MiB (with 4 KiB
pages).

We have verified by running synthetic benchmarks (sysbench I/O,
hackbench) and production server-workload benchmarks that a kernel with
KFENCE (using sample intervals 100-500ms) is performance-neutral
compared to a non-KFENCE baseline kernel.

KFENCE is inspired by GWP-ASan [1], a userspace tool with similar
properties. The name "KFENCE" is a homage to the Electric Fence Malloc
Debugger [2].

For more details, see Documentation/dev-tools/kfence.rst added in the
series -- also viewable here:

This patch (of 9):

This adds the Kernel Electric-Fence (KFENCE) infrastructure. KFENCE is a
low-overhead sampling-based memory safety error detector of heap
use-after-free, invalid-free, and out-of-bounds access errors.

KFENCE is designed to be enabled in production kernels, and has near
zero performance overhead. Compared to KASAN, KFENCE trades performance
for precision. The main motivation behind KFENCE's design, is that with
enough total uptime KFENCE will detect bugs in code paths not typically
exercised by non-production test workloads. One way to quickly achieve a
large enough total uptime is when the tool is deployed across a large
fleet of machines.

KFENCE objects each reside on a dedicated page, at either the left or
right page boundaries. The pages to the left and right of the object
page are "guard pages", whose attributes are changed to a protected
state, and cause page faults on any attempted access to them. Such page
faults are then intercepted by KFENCE, which handles the fault
gracefully by reporting a memory access error. To detect out-of-bounds
writes to memory within the object's page itself, KFENCE also uses
pattern-based redzones. The following figure illustrates the page
layout:

  ---+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+---
     | xxxxxxxxx | O :       | xxxxxxxxx |       : O | xxxxxxxxx |
     | xxxxxxxxx | B :       | xxxxxxxxx |       : B | xxxxxxxxx |
     | x GUARD x | J : RED-  | x GUARD x | RED-  : J | x GUARD x |
     | xxxxxxxxx | E :  ZONE | xxxxxxxxx |  ZONE : E | xxxxxxxxx |
     | xxxxxxxxx | C :       | xxxxxxxxx |       : C | xxxxxxxxx |
     | xxxxxxxxx | T :       | xxxxxxxxx |       : T | xxxxxxxxx |
  ---+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+---

Guarded allocations are set up based on a sample interval (can be set
via kfence.sample_interval). After expiration of the sample interval, a
guarded allocation from the KFENCE object pool is returned to the main
allocator (SLAB or SLUB). At this point, the timer is reset, and the
next allocation is set up after the expiration of the interval.

To enable/disable a KFENCE allocation through the main allocator's
fast-path without overhead, KFENCE relies on static branches via the
static keys infrastructure. The static branch is toggled to redirect the
allocation to KFENCE. To date, we have verified by running synthetic
benchmarks (sysbench I/O, hackbench) that a kernel compiled with KFENCE
is performance-neutral compared to the non-KFENCE baseline.

For more details, see Documentation/dev-tools/kfence.rst (added later in
the series).
