Currently, vmalloc space is backed by the early shadow page. This
means that kasan is incompatible with VMAP_STACK.
This series provides a mechanism to back vmalloc space with real,
dynamically allocated memory. I have only wired up x86, because that's
the only currently supported arch I can work with easily, but it's
very easy to wire up other architectures, and it appears that there is
some work-in-progress code to do this on arm64 and s390.
This has been discussed before in the context of VMAP_STACK:
- https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=202009
- https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/7/22/198
- https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/7/19/822
In terms of implementation details:
Most mappings in vmalloc space are small, requiring less than a full
page of shadow space. Allocating a full shadow page per mapping would
therefore be wasteful. Furthermore, to ensure that different mappings
use different shadow pages, mappings would have to be aligned to
KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SIZE * PAGE_SIZE.
Instead, share backing space across multiple mappings. Allocate a
backing page when a mapping in vmalloc space uses a particular page of
the shadow region. This page can be shared by other vmalloc mappings
later on.
We hook in to the vmap infrastructure to lazily clean up unused shadow
memory.

- Patch 3: prepopulate pgds rather than faulting things in
v3: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/[email protected]/
Address comments from Mark Rutland:
- kasan_populate_vmalloc is a better name
- handle concurrency correctly

v4: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/[email protected]/
Changes to patch 1 only:
- Integrate Mark's rework, thanks Mark!
- handle the case where kasan_populate_shadow might fail
- poision shadow on free, allowing the alloc path to just
unpoision memory that it uses
v5: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/[email protected]/
Address comments from Christophe Leroy:
- Fix some issues with my descriptions in commit messages and docs
- Dynamically free unused shadow pages by hooking into the vmap book-keeping
- Split out the test into a separate patch
- Optional patch to track the number of pages allocated
- minor checkpatch cleanups
v6: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/[email protected]/
Properly guard freeing pages in patch 1, drop debugging code.
v7: Add a TLB flush on freeing, thanks Mark Rutland.
Explain more clearly how I think freeing is concurrency-safe.

2.20.1
Hook into vmalloc and vmap, and dynamically allocate real shadow
memory to back the mappings.
Most mappings in vmalloc space are small, requiring less than a full
page of shadow space. Allocating a full shadow page per mapping would
therefore be wasteful. Furthermore, to ensure that different mappings
use different shadow pages, mappings would have to be aligned to
KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SIZE * PAGE_SIZE.
Instead, share backing space across multiple mappings. Allocate a
backing page when a mapping in vmalloc space uses a particular page of
the shadow region. This page can be shared by other vmalloc mappings
later on.
We hook in to the vmap infrastructure to lazily clean up unused shadow
memory.
To avoid the difficulties around swapping mappings around, this code
expects that the part of the shadow region that covers the vmalloc
space will not be covered by the early shadow page, but will be left
unmapped. This will require changes in arch-specific code.
This allows KASAN with VMAP_STACK, and may be helpful for architectures
that do not have a separate module space (e.g. powerpc64, which I am
currently working on). It also allows relaxing the module alignment
back to PAGE_SIZE.

A potential expansion of this mode is a hardware tag-based mode, which would
use hardware memory tagging support instead of compiler instrumentation and
manual shadow memory manipulation.
+
+What memory accesses are sanitised by KASAN?
+--------------------------------------------
+
+The kernel maps memory in a number of different parts of the address
+space. This poses something of a problem for KASAN, which requires
+that all addresses accessed by instrumented code have a valid shadow
+region.
+
+The range of kernel virtual addresses is large: there is not enough
+real memory to support a real shadow region for every address that
+could be accessed by the kernel.
+
+By default
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+By default, architectures only map real memory over the shadow region
+for the linear mapping (and potentially other small areas). For all
+other areas - such as vmalloc and vmemmap space - a single read-only
+page is mapped over the shadow area. This read-only shadow page
+declares all memory accesses as permitted.
+
+This presents a problem for modules: they do not live in the linear
+mapping, but in a dedicated module space. By hooking in to the module
+allocator, KASAN can temporarily map real shadow memory to cover
+them. This allows detection of invalid accesses to module globals, for
+example.
+
+This also creates an incompatibility with ``VMAP_STACK``: if the stack
+lives in vmalloc space, it will be shadowed by the read-only page, and
+the kernel will fault when trying to set up the shadow data for stack
+variables.
+
+CONFIG_KASAN_VMALLOC
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+With ``CONFIG_KASAN_VMALLOC``, KASAN can cover vmalloc space at the
+cost of greater memory usage. Currently this is only supported on x86.
+
+This works by hooking into vmalloc and vmap, and dynamically
+allocating real shadow memory to back the mappings.
+
+Most mappings in vmalloc space are small, requiring less than a full
+page of shadow space. Allocating a full shadow page per mapping would
+therefore be wasteful. Furthermore, to ensure that different mappings
+use different shadow pages, mappings would have to be aligned to
+``KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SIZE * PAGE_SIZE``.
+
+Instead, we share backing space across multiple mappings. We allocate
+a backing page when a mapping in vmalloc space uses a particular page
+of the shadow region. This page can be shared by other vmalloc
+mappings later on.
+
+We hook in to the vmap infrastructure to lazily clean up unused shadow
+memory.
+
+To avoid the difficulties around swapping mappings around, we expect
+that the part of the shadow region that covers the vmalloc space will
+not be covered by the early shadow page, but will be left
+unmapped. This will require changes in arch-specific code.
+
+This allows ``VMAP_STACK`` support on x86, and can simplify support of
+architectures that do not have a fixed module region.

+ * v v
+ * |????????|????????|AAAAAAAA|AA....AA|AAAAAAAA|????????| < vmalloc

+ * | | | | |
+ * | | | /-------/ |
+ * \-------\|/------/ |/---------------/
+ * ||| ||
+ * |??AAAAAA|AAAAAAAA|AA??????| < shadow
+ * (1) (2) (3)
+ *
+ * First we align the start upwards and the end downwards, so that the
+ * shadow of the region aligns with shadow page boundaries. In the
+ * example, this gives us the shadow page (2). This is the shadow entirely
+ * covered by this allocation.
+ *
+ * Then we have the tricky bits. We want to know if we can free the
+ * partially covered shadow pages - (1) and (3) in the example. For this,
+ * we are given the start and end of the free region that contains this
+ * allocation. Extending our previous example, we could have:
+ *
+ * free_region_start free_region_end
+ * | start end |
+ * v v v v
+ * |FFFFFFFF|FFFFFFFF|AAAAAAAA|AA....AA|AAAAAAAA|FFFFFFFF| < vmalloc
+ * -------- -------- -------- -------- --------
+ * | | | | |
+ * | | | /-------/ |
+ * \-------\|/------/ |/---------------/
+ * ||| ||
+ * |FFAAAAAA|AAAAAAAA|AAF?????| < shadow
+ * (1) (2) (3)
+ *
+ * Once again, we align the start of the free region up, and the end of
+ * the free region down so that the shadow is page aligned. So we can free
+ * page (1) - we know no allocation currently uses anything in that page,
+ * because all of it is in the vmalloc free region. But we cannot free
+ * page (3), because we can't be sure that the rest of it is unused.
+ *
+ * We only consider pages that contain part of the original region for
+ * freeing: we don't try to free other pages from the free region or we'd
+ * end up trying to free huge chunks of virtual address space.
+ *
+ * Concurrency
+ * -----------
+ *
+ * How do we know that we're not freeing a page that is simultaneously
+ * being used for a fresh allocation in kasan_populate_vmalloc(_pte)?
+ *
+ * We _can_ have kasan_release_vmalloc and kasan_populate_vmalloc running
+ * at the same time. While we run under vmap_area_lock, the population
+ * code does not: alloc_vmap_area and the per-cpu allocator both take the
+ * lock before calling __alloc_vmap_area to identify and reserve a region,
+ * and both release the lock before we call kasan_populate_vmalloc.
+ *
+ * vmap_area_lock instead operates to ensure that the larger range
+ * [free_region_start, free_region_end) is safe: because __alloc_vmap_area
+ * is excluded, no space identified as free will become non-free while we
+ * are running. This means that so long as we are careful with alignment
+ * and only free shadow pages entirely covered by the free region, we will
+ * not run in to trouble - any simultaneous allocations will be for

In the case where KASAN directly allocates memory to back vmalloc
space, don't map the early shadow page over it.
We prepopulate pgds/p4ds for the range that would otherwise be empty.
This is required to get it synced to hardware on boot, allowing the
lower levels of the page tables to be filled dynamically.

Merging this is probably overkill, but I leave it to the discretion
of the broader community.
On v4 (no dynamic freeing), I saw the following approximate figures
on my test VM:
- fresh boot: 720
- after test_vmalloc: ~14000
With v5 (lazy dynamic freeing):
- boot: ~490-500
- running modprobe test_vmalloc pushes the figures up to sometimes
as high as ~14000, but they drop down to ~560 after the test ends.
I'm not sure where the extra sixty pages are from, but running the
test repeately doesn't cause the number to keep growing, so I don't
think we're leaking.
- with vmap_stack, spawning tasks pushes the figure up to ~4200, then
some clearing kicks in and drops it down to previous levels again.

Maybe it makes sense to put this into /sys/kernel/debug/kasan/
(without _vmalloc) and name e.g. vmalloc_shadow_pages? In case we want
to expose more generic KASAN debugging info later.

We certainly could. I just wonder if this patch is useful on an ongoing
basis. I wrote it to validate my work on lazy freeing of shadow pages -
which is why I included it - but I'm not sure it has much ongoing value
beyond demonstrating that the freeing code works.
If we think it's worth holding on to this patch, I can certainly adjust
the paths.

Daniel

Hi Christophe,

It applies on the latest linux-next. I didn't base it on powerpc/*
because it's generic.

Ok, thanks.
I backported it to powerpc/merge and I'm testing it on PPC32 with
VMAP_STACK.
Got a few challenges but it is working now.
