When CONFIG_NUMA is enabled, alloc_pages() is a wrapper around alloc_pages_current(). This is pointless, just implement alloc_pages() directly. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210225150642.2582252-5-willy@infradead.orgSigned-off-by:

There are only two callers of __alloc_pages() so prune the thicket of alloc_page variants by combining the two functions together. Current callers of __alloc_pages() simply add an extra 'NULL' parameter and current callers of __alloc_pages_nodemask() call __alloc_pages() instead.

Patch series "Rationalise __alloc_pages wrappers", v3. I was poking around the __alloc_pages variants trying to understand why they each exist, and couldn't really find a good justification for keeping __alloc_pages and __alloc_pages_nodemask as separate functions. That led to getting rid of alloc_pages_current() and then I noticed the documentation was bad, and then I noticed the mempolicy documentation wasn't included. Anyway, this is all cleanups & doc fixes. This patch (of 7): We have two masks involved -- the nodemask and the gfp mask, so alloc_mask is an unclear name.

The naming convention used in include/linux/page-flags-layout.h: *_SHIFT: the number of bits trying to allocate *_WIDTH: the number of bits successfully allocated So when it comes to LAST_CPUPID_WIDTH, we need to check whether all previous *_WIDTH and LAST_CPUPID_SHIFT can fit into page flags.

__alloc_contig_migrate_range already has lru_add_drain_all call via migrate_prep. It's necessary to move LRU taget pages into LRU list to be able to isolated. However, lru_add_drain_all call after __alloc_contig_migrate_range is pointless since it has changed source page freeing from putback_lru_pages to put_page[1]. This patch removes it.

The information that some PFNs are busy is: a) not helpful for ordinary users: we don't even know *who* called alloc_contig_range(). This is certainly not worth a pr_info.*(). b) not really helpful for debugging: we don't have any details *why* these PFNs are busy, and that is what we usually care about. c) not complete: there are other cases where we fail alloc_contig_range() using different paths that are not getting recorded. For example, we reach this path once we succeeded in isolating pageblocks, but failed to migrate some pages - which can happen easily on ZONE_NORMAL (i.e., has_unmovable_pages() is racy) but also on ZONE_MOVABLE i.e., we would have to retry longer to migrate). For example via virtio-mem when unplugging memory, we can create quite some noise (especially with ZONE_NORMAL) that is not of interest to users - it's expected that some allocations may fail as memory is busy. Let's just drop that pr_info_ratelimit() and rather implement a dynamic debugging mechanism in the future that can give us a better reason why alloc_contig_range() failed on specific pages.

Currently, KASAN-KUnit tests can check that a particular annotated part of code causes a KASAN report. However, they do not check that no unwanted reports happen between the annotated parts. This patch implements these checks. It is done by setting report_data.report_found to false in kasan_test_init() and at the end of KUNIT_EXPECT_KASAN_FAIL() and then checking that it remains false at the beginning of KUNIT_EXPECT_KASAN_FAIL() and in kasan_test_exit(). kunit_add_named_resource() call is moved to kasan_test_init(), and the value of fail_data.report_expected is kept as false in between KUNIT_EXPECT_KASAN_FAIL() annotations for consistency.

Why record task_work_add() call stack? Syzbot reports many use-after-free issues for task_work, see [1]. After seeing the free stack and the current auxiliary stack, we think they are useless, we don't know where the work was registered. This work may be the free call stack, so we miss the root cause and don't solve the use-after-free. Add the task_work_add() call stack into the KASAN auxiliary stack in order to improve KASAN reports. It helps programmers solve use-after-free issues.

This change uses the previously added memory initialization feature of HW_TAGS KASAN routines for slab memory when init_on_free is enabled. With this change, memory initialization memset() is no longer called when both HW_TAGS KASAN and init_on_free are enabled. Instead, memory is initialized in KASAN runtime. For SLUB, the memory initialization memset() is moved into slab_free_hook() that currently directly follows the initialization loop. A new argument is added to slab_free_hook() that indicates whether to initialize the memory or not. To avoid discrepancies with which memory gets initialized that can be caused by future changes, both KASAN hook and initialization memset() are put together and a warning comment is added. Combining setting allocation tags with memory initialization improves HW_TAGS KASAN performance when init_on_free is enabled.

Patch series "kasan: integrate with init_on_alloc/free", v3. This patch series integrates HW_TAGS KASAN with init_on_alloc/free by initializing memory via the same arm64 instruction that sets memory tags. This is expected to improve HW_TAGS KASAN performance when init_on_alloc/free is enabled. The exact perfomance numbers are unknown as MTE-enabled hardware doesn't exist yet. This patch (of 5): This change adds an argument to mte_set_mem_tag_range() that allows to enable memory initialization when settinh the allocation tags. The implementation uses stzg instruction instead of stg when this argument indicates to initialize memory. Combining setting allocation tags with memory initialization will improve HW_TAGS KASAN performance when init_on_alloc/free is enabled.

During boot, all non-reserved memblock memory is exposed to page_alloc via memblock_free_pages->__free_pages_core(). This results in kasan_free_pages() being called, which poisons that memory. Poisoning all that memory lengthens boot time. The most noticeable effect is observed with the HW_TAGS mode. A boot-time impact may potentially also affect systems with large amount of RAM. This patch changes the tag-based modes to not poison the memory during the memblock->page_alloc transition. An exception is made for KASAN_GENERIC. Since it marks all new memory as accessible, not poisoning the memory released from memblock will lead to KASAN missing invalid boot-time accesses to that memory. With KASAN_SW_TAGS, as it uses the invalid 0xFE tag as the default tag for all memory, it won't miss bad boot-time accesses even if the poisoning of memblock memory is removed. With KASAN_HW_TAGS, the default memory tags values are unspecified. Therefore, if memblock poisoning is removed, this KASAN mode will miss the mentioned type of boot-time bugs with a 1/16 probability. This is taken as an acceptable trafe-off. Internally, the poisoning is removed as follows. __free_pages_core() is used when exposing fresh memory during system boot and when onlining memory during hotplug. This patch adds a new FPI_SKIP_KASAN_POISON flag and passes it to __free_pages_ok() through free_pages_prepare() from __free_pages_core(). If FPI_SKIP_KASAN_POISON is set, kasan_free_pages() is not called. All memory allocated normally when the boot is over keeps getting poisoned as usual.

Currently, KASAN_SW_TAGS uses 0xFF as the default tag value for unallocated memory. The underlying idea is that since that memory hasn't been allocated yet, it's only supposed to be dereferenced through a pointer with the native 0xFF tag. While this is a good idea in terms on consistency, practically it doesn't bring any benefit. Since the 0xFF pointer tag is a match-all tag, it doesn't matter what tag the accessed memory has. No accesses through 0xFF-tagged pointers are considered buggy by KASAN. This patch changes the default tag value for unallocated memory to 0xFE, which is the tag KASAN uses for inaccessible memory. This doesn't affect accesses through 0xFF-tagged pointer to this memory, but this allows KASAN to detect wild and large out-of-bounds invalid memory accesses through otherwise-tagged pointers. This is a prepatory patch for the next one, which changes the tag-based KASAN modes to not poison the boot memory.

We can sometimes end up with kasan_byte_accessible() being called on non-slab memory. For example ksize() and krealloc() may end up calling it on KFENCE allocated memory. In this case the memory will be tagged with KASAN_SHADOW_INIT, which a subsequent patch ("kasan: initialize shadow to TAG_INVALID for SW_TAGS") will set to the same value as KASAN_TAG_INVALID, causing kasan_byte_accessible() to fail when called on non-slab memory. This highlighted the fact that the check in kasan_byte_accessible() was inconsistent with checks as implemented for loads and stores (kasan_check_range() in SW tags mode and hardware-implemented checks in HW tags mode). kasan_check_range() does not have a check for KASAN_TAG_INVALID, and instead has a comparison against KASAN_SHADOW_START. In HW tags mode, we do not have either, but we do set TCR_EL1.TCMA which corresponds with the comparison against KASAN_TAG_KERNEL. Therefore, update kasan_byte_accessible() for both SW and HW tags modes to correspond with the respective checks on loads and stores.

Patch series "kernel-doc and MAINTAINERS clean-up". Roughly 900 warnings of about 21.000 kernel-doc warnings in the kernel tree warn with 'cannot understand function prototype:', i.e., the kernel-doc parser cannot parse the function's signature. The majority, about 600 cases of those, are just struct definitions following the kernel-doc description. Further, spot-check investigations suggest that the authors of the specific kernel-doc descriptions simply were not aware that the general format for a kernel-doc description for a structure requires to prefix the struct name with the keyword 'struct', as in 'struct struct_name - Brief description.'. Details on kernel-doc are at the Link below. Without the struct keyword, kernel-doc does not check if the kernel-doc description fits to the actual struct definition in the source code. Fortunately, in roughly a quarter of these cases, the kernel-doc description is actually complete wrt. its corresponding struct definition. So, the trivial change adding the struct keyword will allow us to keep the kernel-doc descriptions more consistent for future changes, by checking for new kernel-doc warnings. Also, some of the files in ./include/ are not assigned to a specific MAINTAINERS section and hence have no dedicated maintainer. So, if needed, the files in ./include/ are also assigned to the fitting MAINTAINERS section, as I need to identify whom to send the clean-up patch anyway. Here is the change from this kernel-doc janitorial work in the ./include/ directory for MEMORY MANAGEMENT. This patch (of 2): Commit a520110e ("mm: split out a new pagewalk.h header from mm.h") adds a new file in ./include/linux, but misses to update MAINTAINERS accordingly. Hence, ./scripts/get_maintainers.pl include/linux/pagewalk.h points only to lkml as general fallback for all files, whereas the original include/linux/mm.h clearly marks this file part of MEMORY MANAGEMENT. Assign include/linux/pagewalk.h to MEMORY MANAGEMENT.

The kernel-doc script complains about include/linux/mm.h:425: warning: wrong kernel-doc identifier on line: * Fault flag definitions. I don't know how to document a series of #defines, so turn these definitions into an enum and document that instead.

Instead of keeping open-coded style, move the code related to preloading into a separate function. Therefore introduce the preload_this_cpu_lock() routine that prelaods a current CPU with one extra vmap_area object. There is no functional change as a result of this patch.
