This SLUB free list pointer obfuscation code is modified from Brad Spengler/PaX Team's code in the last public patch of grsecurity/PaX based on my understanding of the code. Changes or omissions from the original code are mine and don't reflect the original grsecurity/PaX code. This adds a per-cache random value to SLUB caches that is XORed with their freelist pointer address and value. This adds nearly zero overhead and frustrates the very common heap overflow exploitation method of overwriting freelist pointers. A recent example of the attack is written up here: http://cyseclabs.com/blog/cve-2016-6187-heap-off-by-one-exploit and there is a section dedicated to the technique the book "A Guide to Kernel Exploitation: Attacking the Core". This is based on patches by Daniel Micay, and refactored to minimize the use of #ifdef. With 200-count cycles of "hackbench -g 20 -l 1000" I saw the following run times: before: mean 10.11882499999999999995 variance .03320378329145728642 stdev .18221905304181911048 after: mean 10.12654000000000000014 variance .04700556623115577889 stdev .21680767106160192064 The difference gets lost in the noise, but if the above is to be taken literally, using CONFIG_FREELIST_HARDENED is 0.07% slower.

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.

Some hardened environments want to build kernels with slab_nomerge already set (so that they do not depend on remembering to set the kernel command line option). This is desired to reduce the risk of kernel heap overflows being able to overwrite objects from merged caches and changes the requirements for cache layout control, increasing the difficulty of these attacks. By keeping caches unmerged, these kinds of exploits can usually only damage objects in the same cache (though the risk to metadata exploitation is unchanged).

Some of the boot code in init_kernel_freeable() which runs before SMP bringup assumes (rightfully) that it runs on the boot CPU and therefore can use smp_processor_id() in preemptible context. That works so far because the smp_processor_id() check starts to be effective after smp bringup. That's just wrong. Starting with SMP bringup and the ability to move threads around, smp_processor_id() in preemptible context is broken. Aside of that it does not make sense to allow init to run on all CPUs before sched_smp_init() has been run. Pin the init to the boot CPU so the existing code can continue to use smp_processor_id() without triggering the checks when the enabling of those checks starts earlier. Tested-by:

sys_newlstat is a system call implementation that is meant for user space, and that copies kernel-internal data structure to the user format, which is not needed for in-kernel users. Further, as we rearrange the system call implementation so we can extend it with 64-bit time_t, the prototype for sys_newlstat changes. This changes the initramfs code to use vfs_lstat directly, to get it out of the way of the time_t changes, and make it slightly more efficient in the process. Along the same lines we also replace sys_stat and sys_stat64 with vfs_stat. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170314214932.4052842-1-arnd@arndb.de Signed-off-by:

Many "embedded" architectures provide CMDLINE_FORCE to allow the kernel to override the command line provided by an inflexible bootloader. However there is currrently no way for the kernel to override the initramfs image provided by the bootloader meaning there are still ways for bootloaders to make things difficult for us. Fix this by introducing INITRAMFS_FORCE which can prevent the kernel from loading the bootloader supplied image. We use CMDLINE_FORCE (and its friend CMDLINE_EXTEND) to imply that the system has an inflexible bootloader. This allow us to avoid presenting this config option to users of systems where inflexible bootloaders aren't usually a problem.

In OpenRISC we do not have a bootloader passed initrd, but the built in initramfs does contain the /init and other binaries, including modules. The previous commit 08865514 ("initramfs: finish fput() before accessing any binary from initramfs") made a change to only call fput() if the bootloader initrd was available, this caused intermittent crashes for OpenRISC. This patch changes the fput() to happen unconditionally if any rootfs is loaded. Also, I added some comments to make it a bit more clear why we call unpack_to_rootfs() multiple times.

If the CONFIG_SRCU option is not selected, for example, when building arch/tile allnoconfig, the following build errors appear: kernel/rcu/tree.o: In function `srcu_online_cpu': tree.c:(.text+0x4248): multiple definition of `srcu_online_cpu' kernel/rcu/srcutree.o:srcutree.c:(.text+0x2120): first defined here kernel/rcu/tree.o: In function `srcu_offline_cpu': tree.c:(.text+0x4250): multiple definition of `srcu_offline_cpu' kernel/rcu/srcutree.o:srcutree.c:(.text+0x2160): first defined here The corresponding .config file shows CONFIG_TREE_SRCU=y, but no sign of CONFIG_SRCU, which fatally confuses SRCU's #ifdefs, resulting in the above errors. The reason this occurs is the folowing line in init/Kconfig's definition for TREE_SRCU: default y if !TINY_RCU && !CLASSIC_SRCU If CONFIG_CLASSIC_SRCU=n, as it will be in for allnoconfig, and if CONFIG_SMP=y, then we will get CONFIG_TREE_SRCU=y but no CONFIG_SRCU, as seen in the .config file, and which will result in the above errors. This error did not show up during rcutorture testing because rcutorture forces CONFIG_SRCU=y, as it must to prevent build errors in rcutorture.c. This commit therefore conditions TREE_SRCU (and TINY_SRCU, while it is at it) with SRCU, like this: default y if SRCU && !TINY_RCU && !CLASSIC_SRCU Reported-by:

Relying on free_reserved_area() to call ftrace to free init memory proved to not be sufficient. The issue is that on x86, when debug_pagealloc is enabled, the init memory is not freed, but simply set as not present. Since ftrace was uninformed of this, starting function tracing still tries to update pages that are not present according to the page tables, causing ftrace to bug, as well as killing the kernel itself. Instead of relying on free_reserved_area(), have init/main.c call ftrace directly just before it frees the init memory. Then it needs to use __init_begin and __init_end to know where the init memory location is. Looking at all archs (and testing what I can), it appears that this should work for each of them.

Yang Li has reported that drain_all_pages triggers a WARN_ON which means that this function is called earlier than the mm_percpu_wq is initialized on arm64 with CMA configured: WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 1 at mm/page_alloc.c:2423 drain_all_pages+0x244/0x25c Modules linked in: CPU: 2 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 4.11.0-rc1-next-20170310-00027-g64dfbc5 #127 Hardware name: Freescale Layerscape 2088A RDB Board (DT) task: ffffffc07c4a6d00 task.stack: ffffffc07c4a8000 PC is at drain_all_pages+0x244/0x25c LR is at start_isolate_page_range+0x14c/0x1f0 [...] drain_all_pages+0x244/0x25c start_isolate_page_range+0x14c/0x1f0 alloc_contig_range+0xec/0x354 cma_alloc+0x100/0x1fc dma_alloc_from_contiguous+0x3c/0x44 atomic_pool_init+0x7c/0x208 arm64_dma_init+0x44/0x4c do_one_initcall+0x38/0x128 kernel_init_freeable+0x1a0/0x240 kernel_init+0x10/0xfc ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20 Fix this by moving the whole setup_vmstat which is an initcall right now to init_mm_internals which will be called right after the WQ subsystem is initialized.

Initialize the ftrace records immediately after memory initialization, as that is all that is required for the records to be created. This will allow for future work to get function tracing started earlier in the boot process. Signed-off-by:

Create an early_trace_init() function that will initialize the buffers and allow for ealier use of trace_printk(). This will also allow for future work to have function tracing start earlier at boot up. Signed-off-by:

We are going to split <linux/sched/task_stack.h> out of <linux/sched.h>, which will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files. Create a trivial placeholder <linux/sched/task_stack.h> file that just maps to <linux/sched.h> to make this patch obviously correct and bisectable. Include the new header in the files that are going to need it. Acked-by:
