[ From v7 we think this series is ready to be included in the mm tree. Where appropriate, we would welcome additional Acks / Reviews by MM, x86, and arm64 maintainers. Thank you! ] 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].

This information helps more easily identify e.g. racy use-after-frees. v5: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20201027141606.426816-1-elver@xxxxxxxxxx * Lots of smaller fixes (see details in patches). * Optimize is_kfence_address() by using better in-range check. * Removal of HAVE_ARCH_KFENCE_STATIC_POOL and static pool support in favor of memblock_alloc'd pool only, as it avoids all issues with virt_to translations. With the new optimizations to is_kfence_address(), we measure no noticeable performance impact. * Taint with TAINT_BAD_PAGE, to distinguish memory errors from regular warnings (also used by SL*B/KASAN/etc. for memory errors). * Rework sample_interval parameter dynamic setting semantics. * Rework kfence_shutdown_cache(). * Fix obj_to_index+objs_per_slab_page, which among other things is required when using memcg accounted allocations. * Rebase to 5.10-rc1. v4: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200929133814.2834621-1-elver@xxxxxxxxxx * MAINTAINERS: Split out from first patch. * Make static memory pool's attrs entirely arch-dependent. * Fix report generation if __slab_free tail-called. * Clarify RCU test comment [reported by Paul E. McKenney]. v3: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200921132611.1700350-1-elver@xxxxxxxxxx * Rewrite SLAB/SLUB patch descriptions to clarify need for 'orig_size'. * Various smaller fixes (see details in patches). v2: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200915132046.3332537-1-elver@xxxxxxxxxx * Various comment/documentation changes (see details in patches). * Various smaller fixes (see details in patches). * Change all reports to reference the kfence object, "kfence-#nn". * Skip allocation/free internals stack trace. * Rework KMEMLEAK compatibility patch.
