commit 704573851b51808b45dae2d62059d1d8189138a2 upstream.

mm: krealloc: Fix MTE false alarm in __do_krealloc

commit 704573851b51808b45dae2d62059d1d8189138a2 upstream.

This patch addresses an issue introduced by commit 1a83a716ec233 ("mm:
krealloc: consider spare memory for __GFP_ZERO") which causes MTE
(Memory Tagging Extension) to falsely report a slab-out-of-bounds error.

The problem occurs when zeroing out spare memory in __do_krealloc. The
original code only considered software-based KASAN and did not account
for MTE. It does not reset the KASAN tag before calling memset, leading
to a mismatch between the pointer tag and the memory tag, resulting
in a false positive.

Example of the error:

mm: krealloc: consider spare memory for __GFP_ZERO

commit 1a83a716ec233990e1fd5b6fbb1200ade63bf450 upstream.

As long as krealloc() is called with __GFP_ZERO consistently, starting
with the initial memory allocation, __GFP_ZERO should be fully honored.

However, if for an existing allocation krealloc() is called with a
decreased size, it is not ensured that the spare portion the allocation is
zeroed. Thus, if krealloc() is subsequently called with a larger size
again, __GFP_ZERO can't be fully honored, since we don't know the previous
size, but only the bucket size.

Example:

buf = kzalloc(64, GFP_KERNEL);
memset(buf, 0xff, 64);

buf = krealloc(buf, 48, GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_ZERO);

/* After this call the last 16 bytes are still 0xff. */
buf = krealloc(buf, 64, GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_ZERO);

Fix this, by explicitly setting spare memory to zero, when shrinking an
allocation with __GFP_ZERO flag set or init_on_alloc enabled.

mm: Remove kmem_valid_obj()

commit 6e284c55fc0bef7d25fd34d29db11f483da60ea4 upstream.

Function kmem_dump_obj() will splat if passed a pointer to a non-slab
object. So nothing calls it directly, instead calling kmem_valid_obj()
first to determine whether the passed pointer to a valid slab object. This
means that merging kmem_valid_obj() into kmem_dump_obj() will make the
code more concise. Therefore, convert kmem_dump_obj() to work the same
way as vmalloc_dump_obj(), removing the need for the kmem_dump_obj()
caller to check kmem_valid_obj(). After this, there are no remaining
calls to kmem_valid_obj() anymore, and it can be safely removed.

mm: slab: Do not create kmalloc caches smaller than arch_slab_minalign()

Commit b035f5a6d852 ("mm: slab: reduce the kmalloc() minimum alignment
if DMA bouncing possible") allows architectures with non-coherent DMA to
define a small ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN (e.g. sizeof(unsigned long long))
and this has been enabled on arm64. With KASAN_HW_TAGS enabled, however,
ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN becomes 16 on arm64 (arch_slab_minalign() dynamically
selects it since commit d949a8155d13 ("mm: make minimum slab alignment a
runtime property")). This can lead to a situation where kmalloc-8 caches
are attempted to be created with a kmem_caches.size aligned to 16. When
the cache is mergeable, it can lead to kernel warnings like:

slab: kmalloc_size_roundup() must not return 0 for non-zero size

slab: kmalloc_size_roundup() must not return 0 for non-zero size

The typical use of kmalloc_size_roundup() is:

ptr = kmalloc(sz = kmalloc_size_roundup(size), ...);
if (!ptr) return -ENOMEM.

This means it is vitally important that the returned value isn't less
than the argument even if the argument is insane.
In particular if kmalloc_slab() fails or the value is above
(MAX_ULONG - PAGE_SIZE) zero is returned and kmalloc() will return
its single zero-length buffer ZERO_SIZE_PTR.

Fix this by returning the input size if the size exceeds
KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE. kmalloc() will then return NULL as the size really is
too big.

kmalloc_slab() should not normally return NULL, unless called too early.
Again, returning zero is not the correct action as it can be in some
usage scenarios stored to a variable and only later cause kmalloc()
return ZERO_SIZE_PTR and subsequent crashes on access. Instead we can
simply stop checking the kmalloc_slab() result completely, as calling
kmalloc_size_roundup() too early would then result in an immediate crash
during boot and the developer noticing an issue in their code.

mm/slab_common: fix slab_caches list corruption after kmem_cache_destroy()

After the commit in Fixes:, if a module that created a slab cache does not
release all of its allocated objects before destroying the cache (at rmmod
time), we might end up releasing the kmem_cache object without removing it
from the slab_caches list thus corrupting the list as kmem_cache_destroy()
ignores the return value from shutdown_cache(), which in turn never removes
the kmem_cache object from slabs_list in case __kmem_cache_shutdown() fails
to release all of the cache's slabs.

This is easily observable on a kernel built with CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST=y
as after that ill release the system will immediately trip on list_add,
or list_del, assertions similar to the one shown below as soon as another
kmem_cache gets created, or destroyed:

[ 1041.213632] list_del corruption. next->prev should be ffff89f596fb5768, but was 52f1e5016aeee75d. (next=ffff89f595a1b268)

[ 1041.231212] RIP: 0010:__list_del_entry_valid+0xae/0xb0

Another quick way to trigger this issue, in a kernel with CONFIG_SLUB=y,
is to set slub_debug to poison the released objects and then just run
cat /proc/slabinfo after removing the module that leaks slab objects,
in which case the kernel will panic:

This patch fixes this issue by properly checking shutdown_cache()'s
return value before taking the kmem_cache_release() branch.

swiotlb: make io_tlb_default_mem local to swiotlb.c

SWIOTLB implementation details should not be exposed to the rest of the
kernel. This will allow to make changes to the implementation without
modifying non-swiotlb code.

To avoid breaking existing users, provide helper functions for the few
required fields.

As a bonus, using a helper function to initialize struct device allows to
get rid of an #ifdef in driver core.

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/

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
