Randomized slab caches for kmalloc()

When exploiting memory vulnerabilities, "heap spraying" is a common
technique targeting those related to dynamic memory allocation (i.e. the
"heap"), and it plays an important role in a successful exploitation.
Basically, it is to overwrite the memory area of vulnerable object by
triggering allocation in other subsystems or modules and therefore
getting a reference to the targeted memory location. It's usable on
various types of vulnerablity including use after free (UAF), heap out-
of-bound write and etc.

There are (at least) two reasons why the heap can be sprayed: 1) generic
slab caches are shared among different subsystems and modules, and
2) dedicated slab caches could be merged with the generic ones.
Currently these two factors cannot be prevented at a low cost: the first
one is a widely used memory allocation mechanism, and shutting down slab
merging completely via `slub_nomerge` would be overkill.

To efficiently prevent heap spraying, we propose the following approach:
to create multiple copies of generic slab caches that will never be
merged, and random one of them will be used at allocation. The random
selection is based on the address of code that calls `kmalloc()`, which
means it is static at runtime (rather than dynamically determined at
each time of allocation, which could be bypassed by repeatedly spraying
in brute force). In other words, the randomness of cache selection will
be with respect to the code address rather than time, i.e. allocations
in different code paths would most likely pick different caches,
although kmalloc() at each place would use the same cache copy whenever
it is executed. In this way, the vulnerable object and memory allocated
in other subsystems and modules will (most probably) be on different
slab caches, which prevents the object from being sprayed.

Meanwhile, the static random selection is further enhanced with a
per-boot random seed, which prevents the attacker from finding a usable
kmalloc that happens to pick the same cache with the vulnerable
subsystem/module by analyzing the open source code. In other words, with
the per-boot seed, the random selection is static during each time the
system starts and runs, but not across different system startups.

The overhead of performance has been tested on a 40-core x86 server by
comparing the results of `perf bench all` between the kernels with and
without this patch based on the latest linux-next kernel, which shows
minor difference. A subset of benchmarks are listed below:

sched/ sched/ syscall/ mem/ mem/
messaging pipe basic memcpy memset

experiment_avg 0.019 5.352 0.746 15.678608 49.766343

The overhead of memory usage was measured by executing `free` after boot
on a QEMU VM with 1GB total memory, and as expected, it's positively
correlated with # of cache copies:

control 4 copies 8 copies 16 copies

mm/slab: Replace invocation of weak PRNG

The Slab allocator randomization uses the prandom_u32
PRNG. That was added to prevent attackers to obtain information on the heap
state, by randomizing the freelists state.

However, this PRNG turned out to be weak, as noted in commit c51f8f88d705
To fix it, we have changed the invocation of prandom_u32_state to get_random_u32
to ensure the PRNG is strong. Since a modulo operation is applied right after that,
we used get_random_u32_below, to achieve uniformity.

In addition, we changed the freelist_init_state union to struct,
since the rnd_state inside which is used to store the state of prandom_u32,
is not needed anymore, since get_random_u32 maintains its own state.

mm, slab/slub: Ensure kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() is available early

The memory allocators are available during early boot even in the phase
where interrupts are disabled and scheduling is not yet possible.

The setup is so that GFP_KERNEL allocations work in this phase without
causing might_alloc() splats to be emitted because the system state is
SYSTEM_BOOTING at that point which prevents the warnings to trigger.

Most allocation/free functions use local_irq_save()/restore() or a lock
variant of that. But kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() and kmem_cache_free_bulk() use
local_[lock]_irq_disable()/enable(), which leads to a lockdep warning when
interrupts are enabled during the early boot phase.

This went unnoticed so far as there are no early users of these
interfaces. The upcoming conversion of the interrupt descriptor store from
radix_tree to maple_tree triggered this warning as maple_tree uses the bulk
interface.

Cure this by moving the kmem_cache_alloc/free() bulk variants of SLUB and
SLAB to local[_lock]_irq_save()/restore().

There is obviously no reclaim possible and required at this point so there
is no need to expand this coverage further.

No functional change.

mm/migrate: make isolate_movable_page() skip slab pages

In the next commit we want to rearrange struct slab fields to allow a larger
rcu_head. Afterwards, the page->mapping field will overlap with SLUB's "struct
list_head slab_list", where the value of prev pointer can become LIST_POISON2,
which is 0x122 + POISON_POINTER_DELTA. Unfortunately the bit 1 being set can
confuse PageMovable() to be a false positive and cause a GPF as reported by lkp
[1].

To fix this, make isolate_movable_page() skip pages with the PageSlab flag set.
This is a bit tricky as we need to add memory barriers to SLAB and SLUB's page
allocation and freeing, and their counterparts to isolate_movable_page().

Based on my RFC from [2]. Added a comment update from Matthew's variant in [3]
and, as done there, moved the PageSlab checks to happen before trying to take
the page lock.

and suggests thus mentioning __GFP_ZERO as the exception. But on closer
inspection, the part about flags being only relevant if cache has no
available objects is misleading. The slab user has no reliable way to
determine if there are available objects, and e.g. the might_sleep()
debug check can be performed even if objects are available, so passing
correct flags given the allocation context always matters.

Thus remove that sentence completely, and while at it, move the comment
to from SLAB-specific mm/slab.c to the common include/linux/slab.h
The comment otherwise refers flags description for kmalloc(), so add
__GFP_ZERO comment there and remove a very misleading GFP_HIGHUSER
(not applicable to slab) description from there. Mention kzalloc() and
kmem_cache_zalloc() shortcuts.

mm/slub: only zero requested size of buffer for kzalloc when debug enabled

kzalloc/kmalloc will round up the request size to a fixed size

requested. Currently kzalloc family APIs will zero all the
allocated memory.

To detect out-of-bound usage of the extra allocated memory, only
zero the requested part, so that redzone sanity check could be
added to the extra space later.

For kzalloc users who will call ksize() later and utilize this
extra space, please be aware that the space is not zeroed any
more when debug is enabled. (Thanks to Kees Cook's effort to
sanitize all ksize() user cases [1], this won't be a big issue).

mm/slab: use kmalloc_node() for off slab freelist_idx_t array allocation

After commit d6a71648dbc0 ("mm/slab: kmalloc: pass requests larger than
order-1 page to page allocator"), SLAB passes large ( > PAGE_SIZE * 2)
requests to buddy like SLUB does.

SLAB has been using kmalloc caches to allocate freelist_idx_t array for
off slab caches. But after the commit, freelist_size can be bigger than
KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE.

Instead of using pointer to kmalloc cache, use kmalloc_node() and only
check if the kmalloc cache is off slab during calculate_slab_order().
If freelist_size > KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE, no looping condition happens
as it allocates freelist_idx_t array directly from buddy.

treewide: use get_random_u32() when possible

The prandom_u32() function has been a deprecated inline wrapper around
get_random_u32() for several releases now, and compiles down to the
exact same code. Replace the deprecated wrapper with a direct call to
the real function. The same also applies to get_random_int(), which is
just a wrapper around get_random_u32(). This was done as a basic find
and replace.

slab: Introduce kmalloc_size_roundup()

In the effort to help the compiler reason about buffer sizes, the
__alloc_size attribute was added to allocators. This improves the scope
of the compiler's ability to apply CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS and (in the near
future) CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE. For most allocations, this works well,
as the vast majority of callers are not expecting to use more memory
than what they asked for.

There is, however, one common exception to this: anticipatory resizing
of kmalloc allocations. These cases all use ksize() to determine the
actual bucket size of a given allocation (e.g. 128 when 126 was asked
for). This comes in two styles in the kernel:

1) An allocation has been determined to be too small, and needs to be
resized. Instead of the caller choosing its own next best size, it
wants to minimize the number of calls to krealloc(), so it just uses
ksize() plus some additional bytes, forcing the realloc into the next
bucket size, from which it can learn how large it is now. For example:

data = krealloc(data, ksize(data) + 1, gfp);
data_len = ksize(data);

2) The minimum size of an allocation is calculated, but since it may
grow in the future, just use all the space available in the chosen
bucket immediately, to avoid needing to reallocate later. A good
example of this is skbuff's allocators:

data = kmalloc_reserve(size, gfp_mask, node, &pfmemalloc);
...
/* kmalloc(size) might give us more room than requested.
* Put skb_shared_info exactly at the end of allocated zone,
* to allow max possible filling before reallocation.
*/
osize = ksize(data);
size = SKB_WITH_OVERHEAD(osize);

In both cases, the "how much was actually allocated?" question is answered
_after_ the allocation, where the compiler hinting is not in an easy place
to make the association any more. This mismatch between the compiler's
view of the buffer length and the code's intention about how much it is
going to actually use has already caused problems[1]. It is possible to
fix this by reordering the use of the "actual size" information.

We can serve the needs of users of ksize() and still have accurate buffer
length hinting for the compiler by doing the bucket size calculation
_before_ the allocation. Code can instead ask "how large an allocation
would I get for a given size?".

Introduce kmalloc_size_roundup(), to serve this function so we can start
replacing the "anticipatory resizing" uses of ksize().

And then this patch does:
- Do not pass pointer to struct kmem_cache to trace_kmalloc.
gfp flag is enough to know if it's accounted or not.
- Avoid dereferencing s->object_size and s->size when not using kmem_cache_alloc event.
- Avoid dereferencing s->name in when not using kmem_cache_free event.
- Adjust s->size to SLOB_UNITS(s->size) * SLOB_UNIT in SLOB

This will break some tools that depend on {kmem_cache_alloc,kmalloc}_node,
but at this point maintaining both kmem_alloc and kmem_alloc_node
event classes does not makes sense at all.

Move its implementation to slab_common.c by using
__kmem_cache_alloc_node(), but keep CONFIG_TRACING=n varients to save a
function call when CONFIG_TRACING=n.

Use __assume_kmalloc_alignment for kmalloc[_node]_trace instead of

requirements.
