From 2394ac4145ea91b92271e675a09af2a9ea6840b7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" Date: Wed, 14 Feb 2024 11:20:46 -0500 Subject: tracing: Inform kmemleak of saved_cmdlines allocation The allocation of the struct saved_cmdlines_buffer structure changed from: s = kmalloc(sizeof(*s), GFP_KERNEL); s->saved_cmdlines = kmalloc_array(TASK_COMM_LEN, val, GFP_KERNEL); to: orig_size = sizeof(*s) + val * TASK_COMM_LEN; order = get_order(orig_size); size = 1 << (order + PAGE_SHIFT); page = alloc_pages(GFP_KERNEL, order); if (!page) return NULL; s = page_address(page); memset(s, 0, sizeof(*s)); s->saved_cmdlines = kmalloc_array(TASK_COMM_LEN, val, GFP_KERNEL); Where that s->saved_cmdlines allocation looks to be a dangling allocation to kmemleak. That's because kmemleak only keeps track of kmalloc() allocations. For allocations that use page_alloc() directly, the kmemleak needs to be explicitly informed about it. Add kmemleak_alloc() and kmemleak_free() around the page allocation so that it doesn't give the following false positive: unreferenced object 0xffff8881010c8000 (size 32760): comm "swapper", pid 0, jiffies 4294667296 hex dump (first 32 bytes): ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ................ ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ................ backtrace (crc ae6ec1b9): [] kmemleak_alloc+0x45/0x80 [] __kmalloc_large_node+0x10d/0x190 [] __kmalloc+0x3b1/0x4c0 [] allocate_cmdlines_buffer+0x113/0x230 [] tracer_alloc_buffers.isra.0+0x124/0x460 [] early_trace_init+0x14/0xa0 [] start_kernel+0x12e/0x3c0 [] x86_64_start_reservations+0x18/0x30 [] x86_64_start_kernel+0x7b/0x80 [] secondary_startup_64_no_verify+0x15e/0x16b Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/87r0hfnr9r.fsf@kernel.org/ Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20240214112046.09a322d6@gandalf.local.home Cc: Masami Hiramatsu Cc: Mathieu Desnoyers Cc: Catalin Marinas Fixes: 44dc5c41b5b1 ("tracing: Fix wasted memory in saved_cmdlines logic") Reported-by: Kalle Valo Tested-by: Kalle Valo Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) --- kernel/trace/trace.c | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) (limited to 'kernel') diff --git a/kernel/trace/trace.c b/kernel/trace/trace.c index aa54810e8b56..8198bfc54b58 100644 --- a/kernel/trace/trace.c +++ b/kernel/trace/trace.c @@ -39,6 +39,7 @@ #include #include #include +#include #include #include #include @@ -2339,6 +2340,7 @@ static void free_saved_cmdlines_buffer(struct saved_cmdlines_buffer *s) int order = get_order(sizeof(*s) + s->cmdline_num * TASK_COMM_LEN); kfree(s->map_cmdline_to_pid); + kmemleak_free(s); free_pages((unsigned long)s, order); } @@ -2358,6 +2360,7 @@ static struct saved_cmdlines_buffer *allocate_cmdlines_buffer(unsigned int val) return NULL; s = page_address(page); + kmemleak_alloc(s, size, 1, GFP_KERNEL); memset(s, 0, sizeof(*s)); /* Round up to actual allocation */ -- cgit v1.2.3-58-ga151
