Patch series "kasan: boot parameters for hardware tag-based mode", v4.
=== Overview
Hardware tag-based KASAN mode [1] is intended to eventually be used in
production as a security mitigation. Therefore there's a need for finer
control over KASAN features and for an existence of a kill switch.
This patchset adds a few boot parameters for hardware tag-based KASAN that
allow to disable or otherwise control particular KASAN features, as well
as provides some initial optimizations for running KASAN in production.
There's another planned patchset what will further optimize hardware
tag-based KASAN, provide proper benchmarking and tests, and will fully
enable tag-based KASAN for production use.
Hardware tag-based KASAN relies on arm64 Memory Tagging Extension (MTE)
[2] to perform memory and pointer tagging. Please see [3] and [4] for
detailed analysis of how MTE helps to fight memory safety problems.
The features that can be controlled are:
1. Whether KASAN is enabled at all.
2. Whether KASAN collects and saves alloc/free stacks.
3. Whether KASAN panics on a detected bug or not.
The patch titled "kasan: add and integrate kasan boot parameters" of this
series adds a few new boot parameters.
kasan.mode allows to choose one of three main modes:
- kasan.mode=off - KASAN is disabled, no tag checks are performed
- kasan.mode=prod - only essential production features are enabled
- kasan.mode=full - all KASAN features are enabled
The chosen mode provides default control values for the features mentioned
above. However it's also possible to override the default values by
providing:
- kasan.stacktrace=off/on - enable stacks collection
(default: on for mode=full, otherwise off)
- kasan.fault=report/panic - only report tag fault or also panic
(default: report)
If kasan.mode parameter is not provided, it defaults to full when
CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL is enabled, and to prod otherwise.
It is essential that switching between these modes doesn't require
rebuilding the kernel with different configs, as this is required by
the Android GKI (Generic Kernel Image) initiative.
=== Benchmarks
For now I've only performed a few simple benchmarks such as measuring
kernel boot time and slab memory usage after boot. There's an upcoming
patchset which will optimize KASAN further and include more detailed
benchmarking results.
The benchmarks were performed in QEMU and the results below exclude the
slowdown caused by QEMU memory tagging emulation (as it's different from
the slowdown that will be introduced by hardware and is therefore
irrelevant).
KASAN_HW_TAGS=y + kasan.mode=off introduces no performance or memory
impact compared to KASAN_HW_TAGS=n.
kasan.mode=prod (manually excluding tagging) introduces 3% of performance
and no memory impact (except memory used by hardware to store tags)
compared to kasan.mode=off.
kasan.mode=full has about 40% performance and 30% memory impact over
kasan.mode=prod. Both come from alloc/free stack collection.
=== Notes

https://github.com/xairy/linux/tree/up-boot-mte-v4
This patchset is based on v11 of "kasan: add hardware tag-based mode for
arm64" patchset [1].
For testing in QEMU hardware tag-based KASAN requires:
1. QEMU built from master [6] (use "-machine virt,mte=on -cpu max" arguments
to run).
2. GCC version 10.

Patch series "kasan: add hardware tag-based mode for arm64", v11.
This patchset adds a new hardware tag-based mode to KASAN [1]. The new
mode is similar to the existing software tag-based KASAN, but relies on
arm64 Memory Tagging Extension (MTE) [2] to perform memory and pointer
tagging (instead of shadow memory and compiler instrumentation).
This patchset is co-developed and tested by
Vincenzo Frascino <vincenzo.frascino@arm.com>.
This patchset is available here:
https://github.com/xairy/linux/tree/up-kasan-mte-v11
For testing in QEMU hardware tag-based KASAN requires:
1. QEMU built from master [4] (use "-machine virt,mte=on -cpu max" arguments
to run).
2. GCC version 10.

====== Overview
The underlying ideas of the approach used by hardware tag-based KASAN are:
1. By relying on the Top Byte Ignore (TBI) arm64 CPU feature, pointer tags
are stored in the top byte of each kernel pointer.
2. With the Memory Tagging Extension (MTE) arm64 CPU feature, memory tags
for kernel memory allocations are stored in a dedicated memory not
accessible via normal instuctions.
3. On each memory allocation, a random tag is generated, embedded it into
the returned pointer, and the corresponding memory is tagged with the
same tag value.
4. With MTE the CPU performs a check on each memory access to make sure
that the pointer tag matches the memory tag.
5. On a tag mismatch the CPU generates a tag fault, and a KASAN report is
printed.
Same as other KASAN modes, hardware tag-based KASAN is intended as a
debugging feature at this point.
====== Rationale
There are two main reasons for this new hardware tag-based mode:
1. Previously implemented software tag-based KASAN is being successfully
used on dogfood testing devices due to its low memory overhead (as
initially planned). The new hardware mode keeps the same low memory
overhead, and is expected to have significantly lower performance
impact, due to the tag checks being performed by the hardware.
Therefore the new mode can be used as a better alternative in dogfood
testing for hardware that supports MTE.
2. The new mode lays the groundwork for the planned in-kernel MTE-based
memory corruption mitigation to be used in production.
====== Technical details
Considering the implementation perspective, hardware tag-based KASAN is
almost identical to the software mode. The key difference is using MTE
for assigning and checking tags.
Compared to the software mode, the hardware mode uses 4 bits per tag, as
dictated by MTE. Pointer tags are stored in bits [56:60), the top 4 bits
have the normal value 0xF. Having less distict tags increases the
probablity of false negatives (from ~1/256 to ~1/16) in certain cases.
Only synchronous exceptions are set up and used by hardware tag-based KASAN.
====== Benchmarks
Note: all measurements have been performed with software emulation of Memory
Tagging Extension, performance numbers for hardware tag-based KASAN on the
actual hardware are expected to be better.
Boot time [1]:
* 2.8 sec for clean kernel
* 5.7 sec for hardware tag-based KASAN
* 11.8 sec for software tag-based KASAN
* 11.6 sec for generic KASAN
Slab memory usage after boot [2]:
* 7.0 kb for clean kernel
* 9.7 kb for hardware tag-based KASAN
* 9.7 kb for software tag-based KASAN
* 41.3 kb for generic KASAN
Measurements have been performed with:
* defconfig-based configs
* Manually built QEMU master
* QEMU arguments: -machine virt,mte=on -cpu max
* CONFIG_KASAN_STACK_ENABLE disabled
* CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE enabled
* clang-10 as the compiler and gcc-10 as the assembler
[1] Time before the ext4 driver is initialized.
[2] Measured as `cat /proc/meminfo | grep Slab`.

nr_pages to be 0.
Then in generic_file_buffered_read_get_pages() find_get_pages_contig()
returns 0 - because we asked for 0 pages, so we call
generic_file_buffered_read_no_cached_page() which attempts to add a page
to the page cache, which fails with -EEXIST, and then we loop. Oops...

virtio-mem soon wants to use offline_and_remove_memory() memory that
exceeds a single Linux memory block (memory_block_size_bytes()). Let's
remove that restriction.
Let's remember the old state and try to restore that if anything goes
wrong. While re-onlining can, in general, fail, it's highly unlikely to
happen (usually only when a notifier fails to allocate memory, and these
are rather rare).
This will be used by virtio-mem to offline+remove memory ranges that are
bigger than a single memory block - for example, with a device block
size of 1 GiB (e.g., gigantic pages in the hypervisor) and a Linux memory
block size of 128MB.
While we could compress the state into 2 bit, using 8 bit is much
easier.
This handling is similar, but different to acpi_scan_try_to_offline():
a) We don't try to offline twice. I am not sure if this CONFIG_MEMCG
optimization is still relevant - it should only apply to ZONE_NORMAL
(where we have no guarantees). If relevant, we can always add it.
b) acpi_scan_try_to_offline() simply onlines all memory in case
something goes wrong. It doesn't restore previous online type. Let's do
that, so we won't overwrite what e.g., user space configured.
