From 3c7b4e6b8be4c16f1e6e5c558e33b7ff0db2dfaf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Catalin Marinas Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2009 13:22:39 +0100 Subject: kmemleak: Add the base support This patch adds the base support for the kernel memory leak detector. It traces the memory allocation/freeing in a way similar to the Boehm's conservative garbage collector, the difference being that the unreferenced objects are not freed but only shown in /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak. Enabling this feature introduces an overhead to memory allocations. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas Cc: Ingo Molnar Acked-by: Pekka Enberg Cc: Andrew Morton Reviewed-by: Paul E.

The object_list is the main list + * holding the metadata (struct kmemleak_object) for the allocated memory + * blocks. The object_tree_root is a priority search tree used to look-up + * metadata based on a pointer to the corresponding memory block. The + * kmemleak_object structures are added to the object_list and + * object_tree_root in the create_object() function called from the + * kmemleak_alloc() callback and removed in delete_object() called from the + * kmemleak_free() callback + * - kmemleak_object.lock (spinlock): protects a kmemleak_object. Accesses to + * the metadata (e.g. count) are protected by this lock. Note that some + * members of this structure may be protected by other means (atomic or + * kmemleak_lock). This lock is also held when scanning the corresponding + * memory block to avoid the kernel freeing it via the kmemleak_free() + * callback. This is less heavyweight than holding a global lock like + * kmemleak_lock during scanning + * - scan_mutex (mutex): ensures that only one thread may scan the memory for + * unreferenced objects at a time. The gray_list contains the objects which + * are already referenced or marked as false positives and need to be + * scanned. This list is only modified during a scanning episode when the + * scan_mutex is held. At the end of a scan, the gray_list is always empty. + * Note that the kmemleak_object.use_count is incremented when an object is + * added to the gray_list and therefore cannot be freed + * - kmemleak_mutex (mutex): prevents multiple users of the "kmemleak" debugfs + * file together with modifications to the memory scanning parameters + * including the scan_thread pointer + * + * The kmemleak_object structures have a use_count incremented or decremented + * using the get_object()/put_object() functions. When the use_count becomes + * 0, this count can no longer be incremented and put_object() schedules the + * kmemleak_object freeing via an RCU callback.

A similar method is used by the +Valgrind tool (memcheck --leak-check) to detect the memory leaks in +user-space applications. + +Usage +----- + +CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK in "Kernel hacking" has to be enabled. A kernel +thread scans the memory every 10 minutes (by default) and prints any new +unreferenced objects found. To trigger an intermediate scan and display +all the possible memory leaks: + + # mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug/ + # cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak + +Note that the orphan objects are listed in the order they were allocated +and one object at the beginning of the list may cause other subsequent +objects to be reported as orphan. + +Memory scanning parameters can be modified at run-time by writing to the +/sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak file. The following parameters are supported: + + off - disable kmemleak (irreversible) + stack=on - enable the task stacks scanning + stack=off - disable the tasks stacks scanning + scan=on - start the automatic memory scanning thread + scan=off - stop the automatic memory scanning thread + scan= - set the automatic memory scanning period in seconds (0 + to disable it) + +Kmemleak can also be disabled at boot-time by passing "kmemleak=off" on +the kernel command line. + +Basic Algorithm +--------------- + +The memory allocations via kmalloc, vmalloc, kmem_cache_alloc and +friends are traced and the pointers, together with additional +information like size and stack trace, are stored in a prio search tree. +The corresponding freeing function calls are tracked and the pointers +removed from the kmemleak data structures. + +An allocated block of memory is considered orphan if no pointer to its +start address or to any location inside the block can be found by +scanning the memory (including saved registers). This means that there +might be no way for the kernel to pass the address of the allocated +block to a freeing function and therefore the block is considered a +memory leak. + +The scanning algorithm steps: + + 1. mark all objects as white (remaining white objects will later be + considered orphan) + 2. scan the memory starting with the data section and stacks, checking + the values against the addresses stored in the prio search tree. If + a pointer to a white object is found, the object is added to the + gray list + 3. scan the gray objects for matching addresses (some white objects + can become gray and added at the end of the gray list) until the + gray set is finished + 4. the remaining white objects are considered orphan and reported via + /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak + +Some allocated memory blocks have pointers stored in the kernel's +internal data structures and they cannot be detected as orphans. To +avoid this, kmemleak can also store the number of values pointing to an +address inside the block address range that need to be found so that the +block is not considered a leak. One example is __vmalloc(). + +Kmemleak API +------------ + +See the include/linux/kmemleak.h header for the functions prototype. + +kmemleak_init - initialize kmemleak +kmemleak_alloc - notify of a memory block allocation +kmemleak_free - notify of a memory block freeing +kmemleak_not_leak - mark an object as not a leak +kmemleak_ignore - do not scan or report an object as leak +kmemleak_scan_area - add scan areas inside a memory block +kmemleak_no_scan - do not scan a memory block +kmemleak_erase - erase an old value in a pointer variable +kmemleak_alloc_recursive - as kmemleak_alloc but checks the recursiveness +kmemleak_free_recursive - as kmemleak_free but checks the recursiveness + +Dealing with false positives/negatives +-------------------------------------- + +The false negatives are real memory leaks (orphan objects) but not +reported by kmemleak because values found during the memory scanning +point to such objects. To reduce the number of false negatives, kmemleak +provides the kmemleak_ignore, kmemleak_scan_area, kmemleak_no_scan and +kmemleak_erase functions (see above). The task stacks also increase the +amount of false negatives and their scanning is not enabled by default. + +The false positives are objects wrongly reported as being memory leaks +(orphan). For objects known not to be leaks, kmemleak provides the +kmemleak_not_leak function. The kmemleak_ignore could also be used if +the memory block is known not to contain other pointers and it will no +longer be scanned. + +Some of the reported leaks are only transient, especially on SMP +systems, because of pointers temporarily stored in CPU registers or +stacks. Kmemleak defines MSECS_MIN_AGE (defaulting to 1000) representing +the minimum age of an object to be reported as a memory leak. + +Limitations and Drawbacks +------------------------- + +The main drawback is the reduced performance of memory allocation and +freeing. To avoid other penalties, the memory scanning is only performed +when the /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak file is read. Anyway, this tool is +intended for debugging purposes where the performance might not be the +most important requirement. + +To keep the algorithm simple, kmemleak scans for values pointing to any +address inside a block's address range. This may lead to an increased +number of false negatives. However, it is likely that a real memory leak +will eventually become visible. + +Another source of false negatives is the data stored in non-pointer +values. In a future version, kmemleak could only scan the pointer +members in the allocated structures. This feature would solve many of +the false negative cases described above. + +The tool can report false positives. These are cases where an allocated +block doesn't need to be freed (some cases in the init_call functions), +the pointer is calculated by other methods than the usual container_of +macro or the pointer is stored in a location not scanned by kmemleak. + +Page allocations and ioremap are not tracked. Only the ARM and x86 +architectures are currently supported. -- cgit v0.10.2 From d5cff635290aec9ad7e6ee546aa4fae895361cbb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Catalin Marinas Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2009 13:22:40 +0100 Subject: kmemleak: Add the slab memory allocation/freeing hooks This patch adds the callbacks to kmemleak_(alloc|free) functions from the slab allocator.
