Percpu embedded first chunk allocator is the firstly option, but it
could fail on ARM64, eg,
percpu: max_distance=0x5fcfdc640000 too large for vmalloc space 0x781fefff0000
percpu: max_distance=0x600000540000 too large for vmalloc space 0x7dffb7ff0000
percpu: max_distance=0x5fff9adb0000 too large for vmalloc space 0x5dffb7ff0000
then we could get to
WARNING: CPU: 15 PID: 461 at vmalloc.c:3087 pcpu_get_vm_areas+0x488/0x838
and the system cannot boot successfully.
Let's implement page mapping percpu first chunk allocator as a fallback
to the embedding allocator to increase the robustness of the system.
Also fix a crash when both NEED_PER_CPU_PAGE_FIRST_CHUNK and
KASAN_VMALLOC enabled.
Tested on ARM64 qemu with cmdline "percpu_alloc=page".
This patch (of 3):
There are some fixed locations in the vmalloc area be reserved in
ARM(see iotable_init()) and ARM64(see map_kernel()), but for
pcpu_page_first_chunk(), it calls vm_area_register_early() and choose
VMALLOC_START as the start address of vmap area which could be
conflicted with above address, then could trigger a BUG_ON in
vm_area_add_early().
Let's choose a suit start address by traversing the vmlist.

Huge vmalloc allocation on heavy loaded node can lead to a global memory
shortage. Task called vmalloc can have worst badness and be selected by
OOM-killer, however taken fatal signal does not interrupt allocation
cycle. Vmalloc repeat page allocaions again and again, exacerbating the
crisis and consuming the memory freed up by another killed tasks.
After a successful completion of the allocation procedure, a fatal
signal will be processed and task will be destroyed finally. However it
may not release the consumed memory, since the allocated object may have
a lifetime unrelated to the completed task. In the worst case, this can
lead to the host will panic due to "Out of memory and no killable
processes..."
This patch allows OOM-killer to break vmalloc cycle, makes OOM more
effective and avoid host panic. It does not check oom condition
directly, however, and breaks page allocation cycle when fatal signal
was received.
This may trigger some hidden problems, when caller does not handle
vmalloc failures, or when rollaback after failed vmalloc calls own
vmallocs inside. However all of these scenarios are incorrect: vmalloc
does not guarantee successful allocation, it has never been called with
__GFP_NOFAIL and threfore either should not be used for any rollbacks or
should handle such errors correctly and not lead to critical failures.

We used to include an alignment overhead into a search length, in that
case we guarantee that a found area will definitely fit after applying a
specific alignment that user specifies. From the other hand we do not
guarantee that an area has the lowest address if an alignment is >=
PAGE_SIZE.
It means that, when a user specifies a special alignment together with a
range that corresponds to an exact requested size then an allocation
will fail. This is what happens to KASAN, it wants the free block that
exactly matches a specified range during onlining memory banks:

The vmalloc guard pages are added on top of each allocation, thereby
isolating any two allocations from one another. The top guard of the
lower allocation is the bottom guard guard of the higher allocation etc.
Therefore VM_NO_GUARD is dangerous; it breaks the basic premise of
isolating separate allocations.
There are only two in-tree users of this flag, neither of which use it
through the exported interface. Ensure it stays this way.

__find_vmap_area is try to find a vmap_area that include target address,
if target address is smaller than the leftmost node in vmap_area_root, it
will return NULL, then vread will read nothing. This behavior is
different from the primitive semantics.
The correct way is find the first vmap_are that bigger than target addr,
that is what function find_vmap_area_exceed_addr does.

Currently for order-0 pages we use a bulk-page allocator to get set of
pages. From the other hand not allocating all pages is something that
might occur. In that case we should fallbak to the single-page allocator
trying to get missing pages, because it is more permissive(direct reclaim,
etc).
Introduce a vm_area_alloc_pages() function where the described logic is

Recently there has been introduced a page bulk allocator for users which
need to get number of pages per one call request.
For order-0 pages switch to an alloc_pages_bulk_array_node() instead of
alloc_pages_node(), the reason is the former is not capable of allocating
set of pages, thus a one call is per one page.
Second, according to my tests the bulk allocator uses less cycles even for
scenarios when only one page is requested. Running the "perf" on same
test case shows below difference:
<default>
- 45.18% __vmalloc_node
- __vmalloc_node_range
- 35.60% __alloc_pages
- get_page_from_freelist
3.36% __list_del_entry_valid
3.00% check_preemption_disabled
1.42% prep_new_page
<default>
<patch>
- 31.00% __vmalloc_node
- __vmalloc_node_range
- 14.48% __alloc_pages_bulk
3.22% __list_del_entry_valid
- 0.83% __alloc_pages
get_page_from_freelist
<patch>
The "test_vmalloc.sh" also shows performance improvements:
fix_size_alloc_test_4MB loops: 1000000 avg: 89105095 usec
fix_size_alloc_test loops: 1000000 avg: 513672 usec

In commit 121e6f3258 ("mm/vmalloc: hugepage vmalloc mappings"),
__vmalloc_node_range was changed such that __get_vm_area_node was no
longer called with the requested/real size of the vmalloc allocation,
but rather with a rounded-up size.
This means that __get_vm_area_node called kasan_unpoision_vmalloc() with
a rounded up size rather than the real size. This led to it allowing
access to too much memory and so missing vmalloc OOBs and failing the
kasan kunit tests.
Pass the real size and the desired shift into __get_vm_area_node. This
allows it to round up the size for the underlying allocators while still
unpoisioning the correct quantity of shadow memory.
Adjust the other call-sites to pass in PAGE_SHIFT for the shift value.

Patch series "mm: add vmalloc_no_huge and use it", v4.
Add vmalloc_no_huge() and export it, so modules can allocate memory with
small pages.
Use the newly added vmalloc_no_huge() in KVM on s390 to get around a
hardware limitation.
This patch (of 2):
Commit 121e6f3258 ("mm/vmalloc: hugepage vmalloc mappings") added
support for hugepage vmalloc mappings, it also added the flag
VM_NO_HUGE_VMAP for __vmalloc_node_range to request the allocation to be
performed with 0-order non-huge pages.
This flag is not accessible when calling vmalloc, the only option is to
call directly __vmalloc_node_range, which is not exported.
This means that a module can't vmalloc memory with small pages.
Case in point: KVM on s390x needs to vmalloc a large area, and it needs
to be mapped with non-huge pages, because of a hardware limitation.
This patch adds the function vmalloc_no_huge, which works like vmalloc,
but it is guaranteed to always back the mapping using small pages. This
new function is exported, therefore it is usable by modules.

A potential use after free can occur in _vm_unmap_aliases where an already
freed vmap_area could be accessed, Consider the following scenario:
Process 1 Process 2
__vm_unmap_aliases __vm_unmap_aliases
purge_fragmented_blocks_allcpus rcu_read_lock()
rcu_read_lock()
list_del_rcu(&vb->free_list)
list_for_each_entry_rcu(vb .. )
__purge_vmap_area_lazy
kmem_cache_free(va)
va_start = vb->va->va_start
Here Process 1 is in purge path and it does list_del_rcu on vmap_block and
later frees the vmap_area, since Process 2 was holding the rcu lock at
this time vmap_block will still be present in and Process 2 accesse it and
thereby it tries to access vmap_area of that vmap_block which was already
freed by Process 1 and this results in use after free.
Fix this by adding a check for vb->dirty before accessing vmap_area
structure since vb->dirty will be set to VMAP_BBMAP_BITS in purge path
checking for this will prevent the use after free.

Support huge page vmalloc mappings. Config option HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMALLOC
enables support on architectures that define HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP and
supports PMD sized vmap mappings.
vmalloc will attempt to allocate PMD-sized pages if allocating PMD size or
larger, and fall back to small pages if that was unsuccessful.
Architectures must ensure that any arch specific vmalloc allocations that
require PAGE_SIZE mappings (e.g., module allocations vs strict module rwx)
use the VM_NOHUGE flag to inhibit larger mappings.
This can result in more internal fragmentation and memory overhead for a
given allocation, an option nohugevmalloc is added to disable at boot.

This commit adds vmalloc() support to mem_dump_obj(). Note that the
vmalloc_dump_obj() function combines the checking and dumping, in
contrast with the split between kmem_valid_obj() and kmem_dump_obj().
The reason for the difference is that the checking in the vmalloc()
case involves acquiring a global lock, and redundant acquisitions of
global locks should be avoided, even on not-so-fast paths.
Note that this change causes on-stack variables to be reported as
vmalloc() storage from kernel_clone() or similar, depending on the degree
of inlining that your compiler does. This is likely more helpful than
the earlier "non-paged (local) memory".
