2019-07-17x86: Add "nopv" parameter to disable PV extensionsZhenzhong Duan1-0/+5
In virtualization environment, PV extensions (drivers, interrupts, timers, etc) are enabled in the majority of use cases which is the best option. However, in some cases (kexec not fully working, benchmarking) we want to disable PV extensions. We have "xen_nopv" for that purpose but only for XEN. For a consistent admin experience a common command line parameter "nopv" set across all PV guest implementations is a better choice. There are guest types which just won't work without PV extensions, like Xen PV, Xen PVH and jailhouse. add a "ignore_nopv" member to struct hypervisor_x86 set to true for those guest types and call the detect functions only if nopv is false or ignore_nopv is true.

The xen-selfballoon driver depends on tmem, so it can be removed, too.

2019-07-16vmcore: add a kernel parameter novmcoreddKairui Song1-0/+11
Since commit 2724273e8fd0 ("vmcore: add API to collect hardware dump in second kernel"), drivers are allowed to add device related dump data to vmcore as they want by using the device dump API. This has a potential issue, the data is stored in memory, drivers may append too much data and use too much memory. The vmcore is typically used in a kdump kernel which runs in a pre-reserved small chunk of memory. So as a result it will make kdump unusable at all due to OOM issues. So introduce new 'novmcoredd' command line option. User can disable device dump to reduce memory usage. This is helpful if device dump is using too much memory, disabling device dump could make sure a regular vmcore without device dump data is still available.

2019-07-12mm: security: introduce init_on_alloc=1 and init_on_free=1 boot optionsAlexander Potapenko1-0/+9
Patch series "add init_on_alloc/init_on_free boot options", v10. Provide init_on_alloc and init_on_free boot options. These are aimed at preventing possible information leaks and making the control-flow bugs that depend on uninitialized values more deterministic. Enabling either of the options guarantees that the memory returned by the page allocator and SL[AU]B is initialized with zeroes. SLOB allocator isn't supported at the moment, as its emulation of kmem caches complicates handling of SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU caches correctly. Enabling init_on_free also guarantees that pages and heap objects are initialized right after they're freed, so it won't be possible to access stale data by using a dangling pointer. As suggested by Michal Hocko, right now we don't let the heap users to disable initialization for certain allocations. There's not enough evidence that doing so can speed up real-life cases, and introducing ways to opt-out may result in things going out of control. This patch (of 2): The new options are needed to prevent possible information leaks and make control-flow bugs that depend on uninitialized values more deterministic. This is expected to be on-by-default on Android and Chrome OS. And it gives the opportunity for anyone else to use it under distros too via the boot args. (The init_on_free feature is regularly requested by folks where memory forensics is included in their threat models.) init_on_alloc=1 makes the kernel initialize newly allocated pages and heap objects with zeroes. Initialization is done at allocation time at the places where checks for __GFP_ZERO are performed. init_on_free=1 makes the kernel initialize freed pages and heap objects with zeroes upon their deletion. This helps to ensure sensitive data doesn't leak via use-after-free accesses. Both init_on_alloc=1 and init_on_free=1 guarantee that the allocator returns zeroed memory. The two exceptions are slab caches with constructors and SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU flag. Those are never zero-initialized to preserve their semantics. Both init_on_alloc and init_on_free default to zero, but those defaults can be overridden with CONFIG_INIT_ON_ALLOC_DEFAULT_ON and CONFIG_INIT_ON_FREE_DEFAULT_ON. If either SLUB poisoning or page poisoning is enabled, those options take precedence over init_on_alloc and init_on_free: initialization is only applied to unpoisoned allocations. Slowdown for the new features compared to init_on_free=0, init_on_alloc=0: hackbench, init_on_free=1: +7.62% sys time (st.err 0.74%) hackbench, init_on_alloc=1: +7.75% sys time (st.err 2.14%) Linux build with -j12, init_on_free=1: +8.38% wall time (st.err 0.39%) Linux build with -j12, init_on_free=1: +24.42% sys time (st.err 0.52%) Linux build with -j12, init_on_alloc=1: -0.13% wall time (st.err 0.42%) Linux build with -j12, init_on_alloc=1: +0.57% sys time (st.err 0.40%) The slowdown for init_on_free=0, init_on_alloc=0 compared to the baseline is within the standard error. The new features are also going to pave the way for hardware memory tagging (e.g. arm64's MTE), which will require both on_alloc and on_free hooks to set the tags for heap objects. With MTE, tagging will have the same cost as memory initialization. Although init_on_free is rather costly, there are paranoid use-cases where in-memory data lifetime is desired to be minimized. There are various arguments for/against the realism of the associated threat models, but given that we'll need the infrastructure for MTE anyway, and there are people who want wipe-on-free behavior no matter what the performance cost, it seems reasonable to include it in this series.

2019-07-12mm, memcg: introduce memory.events.localShakeel Butt1-0/+10
The memory controller in cgroup v2 exposes memory.events file for each memcg which shows the number of times events like low, high, max, oom and oom_kill have happened for the whole tree rooted at that memcg. Users can also poll or register notification to monitor the changes in that file. Any event at any level of the tree rooted at memcg will notify all the listeners along the path till root_mem_cgroup. There are existing users which depend on this behavior. However there are users which are only interested in the events happening at a specific level of the memcg tree and not in the events in the underlying tree rooted at that memcg. One such use-case is a centralized resource monitor which can dynamically adjust the limits of the jobs running on a system. The jobs can create their sub-hierarchy for their own sub-tasks. The centralized monitor is only interested in the events at the top level memcgs of the jobs as it can then act and adjust the limits of the jobs. Using the current memory.events for such centralized monitor is very inconvenient. The monitor will keep receiving events which it is not interested and to find if the received event is interesting, it has to read memory.event files of the next level and compare it with the top level one. So, let's introduce memory.events.local to the memcg which shows and notify for the events at the memcg level. Now, does memory.stat and memory.pressure need their local versions. IMHO no due to the no internal process contraint of the cgroup v2. The memory.stat file of the top level memcg of a job shows the stats and vmevents of the whole tree. The local stats or vmevents of the top level memcg will only change if there is a process running in that memcg but v2 does not allow that. Similarly for memory.pressure there will not be any process in the internal nodes and thus no chance of local pressure.

2019-07-12mm, debug_pagealloc: use a page type instead of page_ext flagVlastimil Babka1-6/+4
When debug_pagealloc is enabled, we currently allocate the page_ext array to mark guard pages with the PAGE_EXT_DEBUG_GUARD flag. Now that we have the page_type field in struct page, we can use that instead, as guard pages are neither PageSlab nor mapped to userspace. This reduces memory overhead when debug_pagealloc is enabled and there are no other features requiring the page_ext array.
