Subject: [PATCH v2] x86/pm: fix false positive kmemleak report in msr_build_context()

Since commit e2a1256b17b1 ("x86/speculation: Restore speculation related MSRs during S3 resume"),
kmemleak reports this issue:

unreferenced object 0xffff888009cedc00 (size 256):
comm "swapper/0", pid 1, jiffies 4294693823 (age 73.764s)
hex dump (first 32 bytes):
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 48 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........H.......
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................
backtrace:
msr_build_context (include/linux/slab.h:621)
pm_check_save_msr (arch/x86/power/cpu.c:520)
do_one_initcall (init/main.c:1298)
kernel_init_freeable (init/main.c:1370)
kernel_init (init/main.c:1504)
ret_from_fork (arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:304)

It is easy to reproduce it on my side:

- boot the VM with a debug kernel config (see the 'Closes:' tag)
- wait ~1 minute
- start a kmemleak scan

It seems kmemleak has an issue with the array allocated in
msr_build_context(). This array is assigned to a pointer in a static
structure (saved_context.saved_msrs->array): there is no leak then.

A simple fix for this issue would be to use kmemleak_no_leak() but Mat
noticed that the root cause here is alignment within the packed 'struct
saved_context' (from suspend_64.h). Kmemleak only searches for pointers
that are aligned (see how pointers are scanned in kmemleak.c), but
pahole shows that the saved_msrs struct member and all members after it
in the structure are unaligned:

struct saved_context {
struct pt_regs regs; /* 0 168 */
/* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) was 40 bytes ago --- */
u16 ds; /* 168 2 */
u16 es; /* 170 2 */
u16 fs; /* 172 2 */
u16 gs; /* 174 2 */
long unsigned int kernelmode_gs_base; /* 176 8 */
long unsigned int usermode_gs_base; /* 184 8 */
/* --- cacheline 3 boundary (192 bytes) --- */
long unsigned int fs_base; /* 192 8 */
long unsigned int cr0; /* 200 8 */
long unsigned int cr2; /* 208 8 */
long unsigned int cr3; /* 216 8 */
long unsigned int cr4; /* 224 8 */
u64 misc_enable; /* 232 8 */
bool misc_enable_saved; /* 240 1 */

/* Note below odd offset values for the remainder of this struct */

struct saved_msrs saved_msrs; /* 241 16 */
/* --- cacheline 4 boundary (256 bytes) was 1 bytes ago --- */
long unsigned int efer; /* 257 8 */
u16 gdt_pad; /* 265 2 */
struct desc_ptr gdt_desc; /* 267 10 */
u16 idt_pad; /* 277 2 */
struct desc_ptr idt; /* 279 10 */
u16 ldt; /* 289 2 */
u16 tss; /* 291 2 */
long unsigned int tr; /* 293 8 */
long unsigned int safety; /* 301 8 */
long unsigned int return_address; /* 309 8 */

/* size: 317, cachelines: 5, members: 25 */
/* last cacheline: 61 bytes */
} __attribute__((__packed__));

By moving 'misc_enable_saved' to the end of the struct declaration,
'saved_msrs' fits in before the cacheline 4 boundary and the kmemleak
warning goes away.

The comment above the 'saved_context' declaration says to check
wakeup_64.S file and __save/__restore_processor_state() if the struct is
modified: it looks like it's the members before 'misc_enable' that must
be carefully placed.

At the end, the false positive kmemleak report is due to a limitation
from kmemleak but that's always good to avoid unaligned member for
optimisation purposes.

Please note that it looks like this issue is not new, e.g.

https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/
https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/

But on my side, msr_build_context() is only used since:

commit e2a1256b17b1 ("x86/speculation: Restore speculation related MSRs during S3 resume").

Others probably have the same issue since:

commit 7a9c2dd08ead ("x86/pm: Introduce quirk framework to save/restore extra MSR registers around suspend/resume"),

Hence the 'Fixes' tag here below to help with the backports.

Good point, let me update the comment and the commit message in a new v3.

Why does before misc_enable matter?

arch/x86/kernel/asm-offsets_64.c computes the offsets and there is a
member like saved_context_gdt_desc which will get moved after your
change but that's not a problem because the offset will get recomputed
at build time.

Hm?

Looks like it to me. All the accesses in wakeup_64.S are done through
those offsets which are computed at build-time so they should always be
valid.

OTOH, I wouldn't mind having there some text making any future person
touching this, aware of where to look when making changes.

Some changes like removing a struct member are nicely caught, ofc,
see below. But for something else which is a lot more subtle having a
comment say "hey, have a look at where this is used in wakeup_64.S and
make sure everything is still kosher" is better than having no comment
at all. IMHO.
