Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:
- SLAB deprecation:
Following the discussion at LSF/MM 2023 [1] and no objections, the
SLAB allocator is deprecated by renaming the config option (to make
its users notice) to CONFIG_SLAB_DEPRECATED with updated help text.
SLUB should be used instead. Existing defconfigs with CONFIG_SLAB are
also updated.
- SLAB_NO_MERGE kmem_cache flag (Jesper Dangaard Brouer):
There are (very limited) cases where kmem_cache merging is
undesirable, and existing ways to prevent it are hacky. Introduce a
new flag to do that cleanly and convert the existing hacky users.
Btrfs plans to use this for debug kernel builds (that use case is
always fine), networking for performance reasons (that should be very
rare).
- Replace the usage of weak PRNGs (David Keisar Schmidt):
In addition to using stronger RNGs for the security related features,
the code is a bit cleaner.
- Misc code cleanups (SeongJae Parki, Xiongwei Song, Zhen Lei, and
zhaoxinchao)

Allow API users of kmem_cache_create to specify that they don't want
any slab merge or aliasing (with similar sized objects). Use this in
kfence_test.
The SKB (sk_buff) kmem_cache slab is critical for network performance.
Network stack uses kmem_cache_{alloc,free}_bulk APIs to gain
performance by amortising the alloc/free cost.
For the bulk API to perform efficiently the slub fragmentation need to
be low. Especially for the SLUB allocator, the efficiency of bulk free
API depend on objects belonging to the same slab (page).
When running different network performance microbenchmarks, I started
to notice that performance was reduced (slightly) when machines had
longer uptimes. I believe the cause was 'skbuff_head_cache' got
aliased/merged into the general slub for 256 bytes sized objects (with
my kernel config, without CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY).
For SKB kmem_cache network stack have reasons for not merging, but it
varies depending on kernel config (e.g. CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY).
We want to explicitly set SLAB_NO_MERGE for this kmem_cache.
Another use case for the flag has been described by David Sterba [1]:
> This can be used for more fine grained control over the caches or for
> debugging builds where separate slabs can verify that no objects leak.
> The slab_nomerge boot option is too coarse and would need to be
> enabled on all testing hosts. There are some other ways how to disable
> merging, e.g. a slab constructor but this disables poisoning besides
> that it adds additional overhead. Other flags are internal and may
> have other semantics.
> A concrete example what motivates the flag. During 'btrfs balance'
> slab top reported huge increase in caches like
> 1330095 1330095 100% 0.10K 34105 39 136420K Acpi-ParseExt

A series by myself to remove CONFIG_SLOB:
The SLOB allocator was deprecated in 6.2 and there have been no
complaints so far so let's proceed with the removal.
Besides the code cleanup, the main immediate benefit will be allowing
kfree() family of function to work on kmem_cache_alloc() objects, which
was incompatible with SLOB. This includes kfree_rcu() which had no
kmem_cache_free_rcu() counterpart yet and now it shouldn't be necessary
anymore.
Otherwise it's all straightforward removal. After this series, 'git grep
slob' or 'git grep SLOB' will have 3 remaining relevant hits in non-mm
code:
- tomoyo - patch submitted and carried there, doesn't need to wait for
this series
- skbuff - patch to cleanup now-unnecessary #ifdefs will be posted to
netdev after this is merged, as requested to avoid conflicts
- ftrace ring_buffer - patch to remove obsolete comment is carried there
The rest of 'git grep SLOB' hits are false positives, or intentional
(CREDITS, and mm/Kconfig SLUB_TINY description to help those that will
happen to migrate later).
CONFIG_SLOB has been removed from Kconfig. Remove code and #ifdef's
specific to SLOB in the slab headers and common code.

The SLOB allocator adds maintenance burden and stands in the way of
API improvements [1]. Deprecate it by renaming the config option (to

SLUB should be used instead as SLAB will be the next on the removal

Based on reports from a riscv k210 board with 8MB RAM, add a
CONFIG_SLUB_TINY option to minimize SLUB's memory usage at the
expense of scalability. This has resolved the k210 regression [2] so
in case there are no others (that wouldn't be resolvable by further

- Miscellaneous fixes.
- Introduce a default-off Kconfig option that depends on RCU_NOCB_CPU
that, on CPUs mentioned in the nohz_full or rcu_nocbs boot-argument
CPU lists, causes call_rcu() to introduce delays.
These delays result in significant power savings on nearly idle
Android and ChromeOS systems. These savings range from a few percent
to more than ten percent.
This series also includes several commits that change call_rcu() to a
new call_rcu_hurry() function that avoids these delays in a few
cases, for example, where timely wakeups are required. Several of
these are outside of RCU and thus have acks and reviews from the
relevant maintainers.

NMI-safe this_cpu_inc(). These NMI-safe SRCU functions are required
by the upcoming lockless printk() work by John Ogness et al.

__GFP_RECLAIMABLE and can help against fragmentation by grouping pages
by mobility, but on tiny systems mobility grouping is likely disabled
anyway and ignoring SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT might instead lead to merging

and suggests thus mentioning __GFP_ZERO as the exception. But on closer
inspection, the part about flags being only relevant if cache has no
available objects is misleading. The slab user has no reliable way to
determine if there are available objects, and e.g. the might_sleep()
debug check can be performed even if objects are available, so passing
correct flags given the allocation context always matters.
Thus remove that sentence completely, and while at it, move the comment
to from SLAB-specific mm/slab.c to the common include/linux/slab.h
The comment otherwise refers flags description for kmalloc(), so add
__GFP_ZERO comment there and remove a very misleading GFP_HIGHUSER
(not applicable to slab) description from there. Mention kzalloc() and
kmem_cache_zalloc() shortcuts.

For !CONFIG_TRACING kernels, the kmalloc() implementation tries (in cases where
the allocation size is build-time constant) to save a function call, by
inlining kmalloc_trace() to a kmem_cache_alloc() call.
However since commit 6edf2576a6 ("mm/slub: enable debugging memory wasting of
kmalloc") this path now fails to pass the original request size to be
eventually recorded (for kmalloc caches with debugging enabled).
We could adjust the code to call __kmem_cache_alloc_node() as the
CONFIG_TRACING variant, but that would as a result inline a call with 5
parameters, bloating the kmalloc() call sites. The cost of extra function
call (to kmalloc_trace()) seems like a lesser evil.
It also appears that the !CONFIG_TRACING variant is incompatible with upcoming
hardening efforts [1] so it's easier if we just remove it now. Kernels with no
tracing are rare these days and the benefit is dubious anyway.

Right now, kasan_cache_create() assigns SLAB_KASAN for all KASAN modes and
then sets up metadata-related cache parameters for the Generic mode.
SLAB_KASAN is used in two places:
1. In slab_ksize() to account for per-object metadata when
calculating the size of the accessible memory within the object.
2. In slab_common.c via kasan_never_merge() to prevent merging of
caches with per-object metadata.
Both cases are only relevant when per-object metadata is present, which is
only the case with the Generic mode.
Thus, assign SLAB_KASAN and define kasan_cache_create() only for the
Generic mode.
Also update the SLAB_KASAN-related comment.

The first two patches from a series by Kees Cook [1] that introduce
kmalloc_size_roundup(). This will allow merging of per-subsystem patches using
the new function and ultimately stop (ab)using ksize() in a way that causes
ongoing trouble for debugging functionality and static checkers.

Resolved a conflict of modifying mm/slab.c __ksize() comment with a commit that
unifies __ksize() implementation into mm/slab_common.c
A patch from Feng Tang that enhances the existing debugfs alloc_traces
file for kmalloc caches with information about how much space is wasted
by allocations that needs less space than the particular kmalloc cache
provides.
In the effort to help the compiler reason about buffer sizes, the
__alloc_size attribute was added to allocators. This improves the scope
of the compiler's ability to apply CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS and (in the near
future) CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE. For most allocations, this works well,
as the vast majority of callers are not expecting to use more memory
than what they asked for.
There is, however, one common exception to this: anticipatory resizing
of kmalloc allocations. These cases all use ksize() to determine the
actual bucket size of a given allocation (e.g. 128 when 126 was asked
for). This comes in two styles in the kernel:
1) An allocation has been determined to be too small, and needs to be
resized. Instead of the caller choosing its own next best size, it
wants to minimize the number of calls to krealloc(), so it just uses
ksize() plus some additional bytes, forcing the realloc into the next
bucket size, from which it can learn how large it is now. For example:
data = krealloc(data, ksize(data) + 1, gfp);
data_len = ksize(data);
2) The minimum size of an allocation is calculated, but since it may
grow in the future, just use all the space available in the chosen
bucket immediately, to avoid needing to reallocate later. A good
example of this is skbuff's allocators:
data = kmalloc_reserve(size, gfp_mask, node, &pfmemalloc);
...
/* kmalloc(size) might give us more room than requested.
* Put skb_shared_info exactly at the end of allocated zone,
* to allow max possible filling before reallocation.
*/
osize = ksize(data);
size = SKB_WITH_OVERHEAD(osize);
In both cases, the "how much was actually allocated?" question is answered
_after_ the allocation, where the compiler hinting is not in an easy place
to make the association any more. This mismatch between the compiler's
view of the buffer length and the code's intention about how much it is
going to actually use has already caused problems[1]. It is possible to
fix this by reordering the use of the "actual size" information.
We can serve the needs of users of ksize() and still have accurate buffer
length hinting for the compiler by doing the bucket size calculation
_before_ the allocation. Code can instead ask "how large an allocation
would I get for a given size?".
Introduce kmalloc_size_roundup(), to serve this function so we can start
replacing the "anticipatory resizing" uses of ksize().

The __malloc attribute should not be applied to "realloc" functions, as
the returned pointer may alias the storage of the prior pointer. Instead
of splitting __malloc from __alloc_size, which would be a huge amount of
churn, just create __realloc_size for the few cases where it is needed.
Thanks to Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org> for reporting build
failures with gcc-8 in earlier version which tried to remove the #ifdef.
While the "alloc_size" attribute is available on all GCC versions, I
forgot that it gets disabled explicitly by the kernel in GCC < 9.1 due
to misbehaviors. Add a note to the compiler_attributes.h entry for it.

kmalloc's API family is critical for mm, with one nature that it will
round up the request size to a fixed one (mostly power of 2). Say
when user requests memory for '2^n + 1' bytes, actually 2^(n+1) bytes
could be allocated, so in worst case, there is around 50% memory
space waste.
The wastage is not a big issue for requests that get allocated/freed
quickly, but may cause problems with objects that have longer life
time.
We've met a kernel boot OOM panic (v5.10), and from the dumped slab
info:
[ 26.062145] kmalloc-2k 814056KB 814056KB
From debug we found there are huge number of 'struct iova_magazine',
whose size is 1032 bytes (1024 + 8), so each allocation will waste
1016 bytes. Though the issue was solved by giving the right (bigger)
size of RAM, it is still nice to optimize the size (either use a
kmalloc friendly size or create a dedicated slab for it).
And from lkml archive, there was another crash kernel OOM case [1]
back in 2019, which seems to be related with the similar slab waste
situation, as the log is similar:
[ 4.332648] iommu: Adding device 0000:20:02.0 to group 16
[ 4.338946] swapper/0 invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x6040c0(GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_COMP), nodemask=(null), order=0, oom_score_adj=0
...
[ 4.857565] kmalloc-2048 59164KB 59164KB
The crash kernel only has 256M memory, and 59M is pretty big here.
(Note: the related code has been changed and optimised in recent
kernel [2], these logs are just picked to demo the problem, also
a patch changing its size to 1024 bytes has been merged)
So add an way to track each kmalloc's memory waste info, and
leverage the existing SLUB debug framework (specifically
SLUB_STORE_USER) to show its call stack of original allocation,
so that user can evaluate the waste situation, identify some hot
spots and optimize accordingly, for a better utilization of memory.
The waste info is integrated into existing interface:
'/sys/kernel/debug/slab/kmalloc-xx/alloc_traces', one example of
'kmalloc-4k' after boot is:
126 ixgbe_alloc_q_vector+0xbe/0x830 [ixgbe] waste=233856/1856 age=280763/281414/282065 pid=1330 cpus=32 nodes=1
__kmem_cache_alloc_node+0x11f/0x4e0
__kmalloc_node+0x4e/0x140
ixgbe_alloc_q_vector+0xbe/0x830 [ixgbe]
ixgbe_init_interrupt_scheme+0x2ae/0xc90 [ixgbe]
ixgbe_probe+0x165f/0x1d20 [ixgbe]
local_pci_probe+0x78/0xc0
work_for_cpu_fn+0x26/0x40
...
which means in 'kmalloc-4k' slab, there are 126 requests of
2240 bytes which got a 4KB space (wasting 1856 bytes each
and 233856 bytes in total), from ixgbe_alloc_q_vector().
And when system starts some real workload like multiple docker
instances, there could are more severe waste.

By default kfence allocation can happen for any slab object, whose size is
up to PAGE_SIZE, as long as that allocation is the first allocation after
expiration of kfence sample interval. But in certain debugging scenarios
we may be interested in debugging corruptions involving some specific slub
objects like dentry or ext4_* etc. In such cases limiting kfence for
allocations involving only specific slub objects will increase the
probablity of catching the issue since kfence pool will not be consumed by
other slab objects.
This patch introduces a sysfs interface
'/sys/kernel/slab/<name>/skip_kfence' to disable kfence for specific
slabs. Having the interface work in this way does not impact
current/default behavior of kfence and allows us to use kfence for
specific slabs (when needed) as well. The decision to skip/use kfence is
taken depending on whether kmem_cache.flags has (newly introduced)
SLAB_SKIP_KFENCE flag set or not.

Move its implementation to slab_common.c by using
__kmem_cache_alloc_node(), but keep CONFIG_TRACING=n varients to save a

Use __assume_kmalloc_alignment for kmalloc[_node]_trace instead of

The comment next to the __assume_kmalloc_alignment definition is not
precise: kmalloc relies on kmem_cache_alloc, so kmalloc technically returns
pointers aligned to both ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN and ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN,
not only to ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN.
(See create_kmalloc_cache()->create_boot_cache()->calculate_alignment()
for SLAB and SLUB and __do_kmalloc_node() for SLOB.)
Clarify the comment.
The assumption specified by __assume_kmalloc_alignment is still correct,
although it can be made stronger. I'll leave this to a separate patch.
