mm: introduce and use {pgd,p4d}_populate_kernel()

2025-10-02T11:38:59+00:00

commit f2d2f9598ebb0158a3fe17cda0106d7752e654a2 upstream. Introduce and use {pgd,p4d}_populate_kernel() in core MM code when populating PGD and P4D entries for the kernel address space. These helpers ensure proper synchronization of page tables when updating the kernel portion of top-level page tables. Until now, the kernel has relied on each architecture to handle synchronization of top-level page tables in an ad-hoc manner. For example, see commit 9b861528a801 ("x86-64, mem: Update all PGDs for direct mapping and vmemmap mapping changes"). However, this approach has proven fragile for following reasons: 1) It is easy to forget to perform the necessary page table synchronization when introducing new changes. For instance, commit 4917f55b4ef9 ("mm/sparse-vmemmap: improve memory savings for compound devmaps") overlooked the need to synchronize page tables for the vmemmap area. 2) It is also easy to overlook that the vmemmap and direct mapping areas must not be accessed before explicit page table synchronization. For example, commit 8d400913c231 ("x86/vmemmap: handle unpopulated sub-pmd ranges")) caused crashes by accessing the vmemmap area before calling sync_global_pgds(). To address this, as suggested by Dave Hansen, introduce _kernel() variants of the page table population helpers, which invoke architecture-specific hooks to properly synchronize page tables. These are introduced in a new header file, include/linux/pgalloc.h, so they can be called from common code. They reuse existing infrastructure for vmalloc and ioremap. Synchronization requirements are determined by ARCH_PAGE_TABLE_SYNC_MASK, and the actual synchronization is performed by arch_sync_kernel_mappings(). This change currently targets only x86_64, so only PGD and P4D level helpers are introduced. Currently, these helpers are no-ops since no architecture sets PGTBL_{PGD,P4D}_MODIFIED in ARCH_PAGE_TABLE_SYNC_MASK. In theory, PUD and PMD level helpers can be added later if needed by other architectures. For now, 32-bit architectures (x86-32 and arm) only handle PGTBL_PMD_MODIFIED, so p*d_populate_kernel() will never affect them unless we introduce a PMD level helper.

kasan: disable kasan_non_canonical_hook() for HW tags

2023-12-23T09:42:00+00:00

commit 17c17567fe510857b18fe01b7a88027600e76ac6 upstream.

kasan: print the original fault addr when access invalid shadow

2023-11-08T16:26:40+00:00

commit babddbfb7d7d70ae7f10fedd75a45d8ad75fdddf upstream. when the checked address is illegal,the corresponding shadow address from kasan_mem_to_shadow may have no mapping in mmu table. Access such shadow address causes kernel oops. Here is a sample about oops on arm64(VA 39bit) with KASAN_SW_TAGS and KASAN_OUTLINE on: [ffffffb80aaaaaaa] pgd=000000005d3ce003, p4d=000000005d3ce003, pud=000000005d3ce003, pmd=0000000000000000 Internal error: Oops: 0000000096000006 [#1] PREEMPT SMP Modules linked in: CPU: 3 PID: 100 Comm: sh Not tainted 6.6.0-rc1-dirty #43 Hardware name: linux,dummy-virt (DT) pstate: 80000005 (Nzcv daif -PAN -UAO -TCO -DIT -SSBS BTYPE=--) pc : __hwasan_load8_noabort+0x5c/0x90 lr : do_ib_ob+0xf4/0x110 ffffffb80aaaaaaa is the shadow address for efffff80aaaaaaaa. The problem is reading invalid shadow in kasan_check_range. The generic kasan also has similar oops. It only reports the shadow address which causes oops but not the original address. Commit 2f004eea0fc8("x86/kasan: Print original address on #GP") introduce to kasan_non_canonical_hook but limit it to KASAN_INLINE. This patch extends it to KASAN_OUTLINE mode.

commit 79cc1ba7badf9e7a12af99695a557e9ce27ee967 upstream. Several run-time checkers (KASAN, UBSAN, KFENCE, KCSAN, sched) roll their own warnings, and each check "panic_on_warn".

kasan: prevent cpu_quarantine corruption when CPU offline and cache shrink occur at same time

2022-05-09T07:14:41+00:00

commit 31fa985b4196f8a66f027672e9bf2b81fea0417c upstream. kasan_quarantine_remove_cache() is called in kmem_cache_shrink()/ destroy(). The kasan_quarantine_remove_cache() call is protected by cpuslock in kmem_cache_destroy() to ensure serialization with kasan_cpu_offline(). However the kasan_quarantine_remove_cache() call is not protected by cpuslock in kmem_cache_shrink(). When a CPU is going offline and cache shrink occurs at same time, the cpu_quarantine may be corrupted by interrupt (per_cpu_remove_cache operation). So add a cpu_quarantine offline flags check in per_cpu_remove_cache().

kasan: fix quarantine conflicting with init_on_free

2022-03-08T18:12:38+00:00

[ Upstream commit 26dca996ea7b1ac7008b6b6063fc88b849e3ac3e ] KASAN's quarantine might save its metadata inside freed objects. As this happens after the memory is zeroed by the slab allocator when init_on_free is enabled, the memory coming out of quarantine is not properly zeroed. This causes lib/test_meminit.c tests to fail with Generic KASAN. Zero the metadata when the object is removed from quarantine.

mm: defer kmemleak object creation of module_alloc()

2022-03-08T18:12:38+00:00

[ Upstream commit 60115fa54ad7b913b7cb5844e6b7ffeb842d55f2 ] Yongqiang reports a kmemleak panic when module insmod/rmmod with KASAN enabled(without KASAN_VMALLOC) on x86[1]. When the module area allocates memory, it's kmemleak_object is created successfully, but the KASAN shadow memory of module allocation is not ready, so when kmemleak scan the module's pointer, it will panic due to no shadow memory with KASAN check. module_alloc __vmalloc_node_range kmemleak_vmalloc kmemleak_scan update_checksum kasan_module_alloc kmemleak_ignore Note, there is no problem if KASAN_VMALLOC enabled, the modules area entire shadow memory is preallocated. Thus, the bug only exits on ARCH which supports dynamic allocation of module area per module load, for now, only x86/arm64/s390 are involved. Add a VM_DEFER_KMEMLEAK flags, defer vmalloc'ed object register of kmemleak in module_alloc() to fix this issue.
