SubjectRe: [PATCH v3 1/3] kasan: support backing vmalloc space with real shadow memory
Hi Daniel,

This is looking really good!

I spotted a few more things we need to deal with, so I've suggested some
(not even compile-tested) code for that below. Mostly that's just error
handling, and using helpers to avoid things getting too verbose.

From looking at this for a while, there are a few more things we should
sort out:

* We need to handle allocations failing. I think we can get most of that
by using apply_to_page_range() to allocate the tables for us.

* Between poisoning the page and updating the page table, we need an
smp_wmb() to ensure that the poison is visible to other CPUs, similar
to what __pte_alloc() and friends do when allocating new tables.

* We can use the split pmd locks (used by both x86 and arm64) to
minimize contention on the init_mm ptl. As apply_to_page_range()
doesn't pass the corresponding pmd in, we'll have to re-walk the table
in the callback, but I suspect that's better than having all vmalloc
operations contend on the same ptl.

I think it would make sense to follow the style of the __alloc_p??
functions and factor out the actual initialization into a helper like:

static int __kasan_populate_vmalloc_pte(pmd_t *pmdp, pte_t *ptep)
{
unsigned long page;
spinlock_t *ptl;
pte_t pte;

page = __get_free_page(GFP_KERNEL);
if (!page)
return -ENOMEM;

memset((void *)page, KASAN_VMALLOC_INVALID, PAGE_SIZE);
pte = pfn_pte(page_to_pfn(page), PAGE_KERNEL);

/*
* Ensure poisoning is visible before the shadow is made visible
* to other CPUs.
*/
smp_wmb();

ptl = pmd_lock(&init_mm, pmdp);
if (likely(pte_none(*ptep))) {
set_pte(ptep, pte)
page = 0;
}
spin_unlock(ptl);
if (page)
free_page(page);
return 0;
}

... with the apply_to_page_range() callback looking a bit like
alloc_p??(), grabbing the pmd for its ptl.

static int kasan_populate_vmalloc_pte(pte_t *ptep, unsigned long addr, void *unused)
{
pgd_t *pgdp;
p4d_t *p4dp;
pud_t *pudp;
pmd_t *pmdp;

if (likely(!pte_none(*ptep)))
return 0;

pgdp = pgd_offset_k(addr);
p4dp = p4d_offset(pgdp, addr)
pudp = pud_pffset(p4dp, addr);
pmdp = pmd_offset(pudp, addr);

return __kasan_populate_vmalloc_pte(pmdp, ptep);
}

... and the main function looking something like:

int kasan_populate_vmalloc(...)
{
unsigned long shadow_start, shadow_size;
unsigned long addr;
int ret;

// calculate shadow bounds here

ret = apply_to_page_range(&init_mm, shadow_start, shadow_size,
kasan_populate_vmalloc_pte, NULL);
if (ret)
return ret;

...

// unpoison the new allocation here
}

Is it painful to do the unpoison in the vfree/vunmap paths? I haven't
looked, so I might have missed something that makes that nasty.

If it's possible, I think it would be preferable to do so. It would be
consistent with the non-vmalloc KASAN cases. IIUC in that case we only
need the requested size here (and not the vmap_area), so we could just
take start and size as arguments.

Thanks,
Mark.
