Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] mm/kasan: dump alloc/free stack for page allocator

From: Walter Wu <[email protected]>

This patch is KASAN report adds the alloc/free stacks for page allocator
in order to help programmer to see memory corruption caused by page.

By default, KASAN doesn't record alloc and free stack for page allocator.
It is difficult to fix up page use-after-free or dobule-free issue.

Our patchsets will record the last stack of pages.
It is very helpful for solving the page use-after-free or double-free.

KASAN report will show the last stack of page, it may be:
a) If page is in-use state, then it prints alloc stack.
It is useful to fix up page out-of-bound issue.

BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in kmalloc_pagealloc_oob_right+0x88/0x90
Write of size 1 at addr ffffffc0d64ea00a by task cat/115
...
Allocation stack of page:
set_page_stack.constprop.1+0x30/0xc8
kasan_alloc_pages+0x18/0x38
prep_new_page+0x5c/0x150
get_page_from_freelist+0xb8c/0x17c8
__alloc_pages_nodemask+0x1a0/0x11b0
kmalloc_order+0x28/0x58
kmalloc_order_trace+0x28/0xe0
kmalloc_pagealloc_oob_right+0x2c/0x68

b) If page is freed state, then it prints free stack.
It is useful to fix up page use-after-free or double-free issue.

BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in kmalloc_pagealloc_uaf+0x70/0x80
Write of size 1 at addr ffffffc0d651c000 by task cat/115
...
Free stack of page:
kasan_free_pages+0x68/0x70
__free_pages_ok+0x3c0/0x1328
__free_pages+0x50/0x78
kfree+0x1c4/0x250
kmalloc_pagealloc_uaf+0x38/0x80

This has been discussed, please refer below link.
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=203967

Changes since v1:
- slim page_owner and move it into kasan
- enable the feature by default

Hi All,

We implement another version, it is different with v1. We hope that you
can give an ideas and make the KASAN report better. If it is possible,
we can use the less memory to show the corruption information that is
enough to help programmer to fix up memory corruption.

Thanks.
Walter

For slab objects we memorize both alloc and free stacks. You'll never know in advance what information will be usefull
to fix an issue, so it usually better to provide more information. I don't think we should do anything different for pages.

Given that we already have the page_owner responsible for providing alloc/free stacks for pages, all that we should in KASAN do is to
enable the feature by default. Free stack saving should be decoupled from debug_pagealloc into separate option so that it can be enabled
by KASAN and/or debug_pagealloc.

Exactly, thanks.

Right. Walter, can you do it that way, or should I?

Thanks,

I still disagree with duplicating most of page_owner functionality for
the sake of using a single stack handle for both alloc and free (while
page_owner + debug_pagealloc with patches in mmotm uses two handles). It
reduces the amount of potentially important debugging information, and I
really doubt the u32-per-page savings are significant, given the rest of
KASAN overhead.

That's not a discussion, but a single comment from Dmitry, which btw
contains "provide alloc *and* free stacks for it" ("it" refers to page,
emphasis mine). It would be nice if he or other KASAN guys could clarify.
