2018-12-28debugobjects: call debug_objects_mem_init earilerQian Cai1-5/+3
The current value of the early boot static pool size, 1024 is not big enough for systems with large number of CPUs with timer or/and workqueue objects selected. As the results, systems have 60+ CPUs with both timer and workqueue objects enabled could trigger "ODEBUG: Out of memory. ODEBUG disabled". Some debug objects are allocated during the early boot. Enabling some options like timers or workqueue objects may increase the size required significantly with large number of CPUs. For example, CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_TIMERS: No. CPUs x 2 (worker pool) objects: start_kernel workqueue_init_early init_worker_pool init_timer_key debug_object_init plus No. CPUs objects (CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS): sched_init hrtick_rq_init hrtimer_init CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_WORK: No. CPUs objects: vmalloc_init __init_work plus No. CPUs x 6 (workqueue) objects: workqueue_init_early alloc_workqueue __alloc_workqueue_key alloc_and_link_pwqs init_pwq Also, plus No. CPUs objects: perf_event_init __init_srcu_struct init_srcu_struct_fields init_srcu_struct_nodes __init_work However, none of the things are actually used or required before debug_objects_mem_init() is invoked, so just move the call right before vmalloc_init(). According to tglx, "the reason why the call is at this place in start_kernel() is historical. It's because back in the days when debugobjects were added the memory allocator was enabled way later than today."

2018-07-30debugobjects: Make stack check warning more informativeJoel Fernandes (Google)1-2/+5
While debugging an issue debugobject tracking warned about an annotation issue of an object on stack. It turned out that the issue was due to the object in concern being on a different stack which was due to another issue. Thomas suggested to print the pointers and the location of the stack for the currently running task. This helped to figure out that the object was on the wrong stack. As this is general useful information for debugging similar issues, make the error message more informative by printing the pointers.

2018-02-13debugobjects: Use global free list in free_object()Yang Shi1-41/+22
The newly added global free list allows to avoid lengthy pool_list iterations in free_obj_work() by putting objects either into the pool list when the fill level of the pool is below the maximum or by putting them on the global free list immediately. As the pool is now guaranteed to never exceed the maximum fill level this allows to remove the batch removal from pool list in free_obj_work(). Split free_object() into two parts, so the actual queueing function can be reused without invoking schedule_work() on every invocation.

2018-02-13debugobjects: Add global free list and the counterYang Shi1-1/+57
free_object() adds objects to the pool list and schedules work when the pool list is larger than the pool size. The worker handles the actual kfree() of the object by iterating the pool list until the pool size is below the maximum pool size again. To iterate the pool list, pool_lock has to be held and the objects which should be freed() need to be put into temporary storage so pool_lock can be dropped for the actual kmem_cache_free() invocation. That's a pointless and expensive exercise if there is a large number of objects to free. In such a case its better to evaulate the fill level of the pool in free_objects() and queue the object to free either in the pool list or if it's full on a separate global free list. The worker can then do the following simpler operation: - Move objects back from the global free list to the pool list if the pool list is not longer full. - Remove the remaining objects in a single list move operation from the global free list and do the kmem_cache_free() operation lockless from the temporary list head. In fill_pool() the global free list is checked as well to avoid real allocations from the kmem cache. Add the necessary list head and a counter for the number of objects on the global free list and export that counter via sysfs: max_chain :79 max_loops :8147 warnings :0 fixups :0 pool_free :1697 pool_min_free :346 pool_used :15356 pool_max_used :23933 on_free_list :39 objs_allocated:32617 objs_freed :16588 Nothing queues objects on the global free list yet.

2018-02-13debugobjects: Export max loops counterYang Shi1-1/+8
__debug_check_no_obj_freed() can be an expensive operation depending on the size of memory freed. It already exports the maximum chain walk length via debugfs, but this only records the maximum of a single memory chunk. Though there is no information about the total number of objects inspected for a __debug_check_no_obj_freed() operation, which might be significantly larger when a huge memory region is freed. Aggregate the number of objects inspected for a single invocation of __debug_check_no_obj_freed() and export it via sysfs.

2017-08-14debugobjects: Make kmemleak ignore debug objectsWaiman Long1-0/+3
The allocated debug objects are either on the free list or in the hashed bucket lists. So they won't get lost. However if both debug objects and kmemleak are enabled and kmemleak scanning is done while some of the debug objects are transitioning from one list to the others, false negative reporting of memory leaks may happen for those objects. For example, [38687.275678] kmemleak: 12 new suspected memory leaks (see /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak) unreferenced object 0xffff92e98aabeb68 (size 40): comm "ksmtuned", pid 4344, jiffies 4298403600 (age 906.430s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 d0 bc db 92 e9 92 ff ff ................ 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 38 36 8a 61 e9 92 ff ff ........86.a.... backtrace: [<ffffffff8fa5378a>] kmemleak_alloc+0x4a/0xa0 [<ffffffff8f47c019>] kmem_cache_alloc+0xe9/0x320 [<ffffffff8f62ed96>] __debug_object_init+0x3e6/0x400 [<ffffffff8f62ef01>] debug_object_activate+0x131/0x210 [<ffffffff8f330d9f>] __call_rcu+0x3f/0x400 [<ffffffff8f33117d>] call_rcu_sched+0x1d/0x20 [<ffffffff8f4a183c>] put_object+0x2c/0x40 [<ffffffff8f4a188c>] __delete_object+0x3c/0x50 [<ffffffff8f4a18bd>] delete_object_full+0x1d/0x20 [<ffffffff8fa535c2>] kmemleak_free+0x32/0x80 [<ffffffff8f47af07>] kmem_cache_free+0x77/0x350 [<ffffffff8f453912>] unlink_anon_vmas+0x82/0x1e0 [<ffffffff8f440341>] free_pgtables+0xa1/0x110 [<ffffffff8f44af91>] exit_mmap+0xc1/0x170 [<ffffffff8f29db60>] mmput+0x80/0x150 [<ffffffff8f2a7609>] do_exit+0x2a9/0xd20 The references in the debug objects may also hide a real memory leak.

2017-02-05debugobjects: Reduce contention on the global pool_lockWaiman Long1-9/+23
On a large SMP system with many CPUs, the global pool_lock may become a performance bottleneck as all the CPUs that need to allocate or free debug objects have to take the lock. That can sometimes cause soft lockups like: NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#35 stuck for 22s! [rcuos/1:21] ...

This will temporarily increase the amount of free objects available at the free pool when the system is busy. As a result, the number of kmem_cache allocation and freeing is reduced. To further reduce the lock operations free debug objects in batches of four.

On a large SMP systems with hundreds of CPUs, the current thresholds for allocating and freeing debug objects (256 and 1024 respectively) may not work well. This can cause a lot of needless calls to kmem_aloc() and kmem_free() on those systems. To alleviate this thrashing problem, the object freeing threshold is now increased to "1024 + # of CPUs * 32". Whereas the object allocation threshold is increased to "256 + # of CPUs * 4". That should make the debug objects subsystem scale better with the number of CPUs available in the system.

Drivers, or other modules, that use a mixture of objects (especially objects embedded within other objects) would like to take advantage of the debugobjects facilities to help catch misuse. Currently, the debugobjects interface is only available to builtin drivers and requires a set of EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL for use by modules. I am using the debugobjects in i915.ko to try and catch some invalid operations on embedded objects. The problem currently only presents itself across module unload so forcing i915 to be builtin is not an option.

2016-05-20debugobjects: insulate non-fixup logic related to static obj from fixup ↵Du, Changbin1-17/+32
callbacks When activating a static object we need make sure that the object is tracked in the object tracker. If it is a non-static object then the activation is illegal. In previous implementation, each subsystem need take care of this in their fixup callbacks. Actually we can put it into debugobjects core. Thus we can save duplicated code, and have *pure* fixup callbacks. To achieve this, a new callback "is_static_object" is introduced to let the type specific code decide whether a object is static or not. If yes, we take it into object tracker, otherwise give warning and invoke fixup callback. This change has paassed debugobjects selftest, and I also do some test with all debugobjects supports enabled. At last, I have a concern about the fixups that can it change the object which is in incorrect state on fixup? Because the 'addr' may not point to any valid object if a non-static object is not tracked. Then Change such object can overwrite someone's memory and cause unexpected behaviour. For example, the timer_fixup_activate bind timer to function stub_timer.

2016-05-20debugobjects: make fixup functions return bool instead of intDu, Changbin1-22/+21
I am going to introduce debugobjects infrastructure to USB subsystem. But before this, I found the code of debugobjects could be improved. This patchset will make fixup functions return bool type instead of int. Because fixup only need report success or no. boolean is the 'real' type. This patch (of 7): The object debugging infrastructure core provides some fixup callbacks for the subsystem who use it. These callbacks are called from the debug code whenever a problem in debug_object_init is detected. And debugobjects core suppose them returns 1 when the fixup was successful, otherwise 0. So the return type is boolean. A bad thing is that debug_object_fixup use the return value for arithmetic operation. It confused me that what is the reall return type. Reading over the whole code, I found some place do use the return value incorrectly(see next patch). So why use bool type instead?

2013-02-28hlist: drop the node parameter from iteratorsSasha Levin1-11/+10
I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member) The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter: hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member) Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate. Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required: - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones. - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this was modified to use 'obj->member' instead. - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

2010-05-11Debugobjects transition checkMathieu Desnoyers1-3/+56
Implement a basic state machine checker in the debugobjects. This state machine checker detects races and inconsistencies within the "active" life of a debugobject. The checker only keeps track of the current state; all the state machine logic is kept at the object instance level. The checker works by adding a supplementary "unsigned int astate" field to the debug_obj structure. It keeps track of the current "active state" of the object. The only constraints that are imposed on the states by the debugobjects system is that: - activation of an object sets the current active state to 0, - deactivation of an object expects the current active state to be 0. For the rest of the states, the state mapping is determined by the specific object instance. Therefore, the logic keeping track of the state machine is within the specialized instance, without any need to know about it at the debugobject level. The current object active state is changed by calling: debug_object_active_state(addr, descr, expect, next) where "expect" is the expected state and "next" is the next state to move to if the expected state is found. A warning is generated if the expected is not found. Signed-off-by: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com> Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Acked-by: David S.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo1-0/+1
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2009-03-17debugobjects: delay free of internal objectsThomas Gleixner1-12/+41
Impact: avoid recursive kfree calls, less slab activity on heavy load debugobjects checks on kfree whether tracked objects are freed. When a tracked object is freed debugobjects frees the internal reference object as well. The debug object slab cache is marked to not recurse into debugobjects when a slab objects is freed, but the recursive call can be problematic versus locking in the memory allocator. Defer the freeing of debug slab objects via schedule_work. The reasons not to use RCU are: 1) rcu makes the data structure larger 2) there is no real need for rcu as nothing references the obj after we freed it 3) under heavy load it is easier to reuse the to be freed objects instead of allocating new objects from the slab. This lowered the slab activity significantly in a heavy load networking test where lots of timers are created/destroyed. The workqueue based delayed free allows us just to put the to be freed objects back into the object pool and reuse them right away.

These static reference objects have to be handled seperately in free_object(). The handling of these objects is in the way of implementing a delayed free functionality. The delayed free is required to avoid callbacks into the mm code from debug_check_no_obj_freed(). Replace the static object references with dynamic ones after the slab cache has been initialized. The static objects are now marked initdata. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> LKML-Reference: <200903162049.58058.nickpiggin@yahoo.com.au>

Make this more convenient (and randomizable) by also providing a .config method. Enable it by default. (DEBUG_OBJECTS itself is default-off) Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Daniel J. Blueman reported: > ======================================================= > [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ] > 2.6.27-rc4-224c #1 > ------------------------------------------------------- > hald/4680 is trying to acquire lock: > (&n->list_lock){++..}, at: [<ffffffff802bfa26>] add_partial+0x26/0x80 > > but task is already holding lock: > (&obj_hash[i].lock){++..}, at: [<ffffffff8041cfdc>] > debug_object_free+0x5c/0x120 We fix it by moving the actual freeing to outside the lock (the lock now only protects the list). The pool lock is also promoted to irq-safe (suggested by Dan). It's necessary because free_pool is now called outside the irq disabled region. So we need to protect against an interrupt handler which calls debug_object_init().

2008-07-26Use WARN() in lib/Arjan van de Ven1-10/+5
Use WARN() instead of a printk+WARN_ON() pair; this way the message becomes part of the warning section for better reporting/collection. In addition, one of the if() clauses collapes into the WARN() entirely now.
