[PATCH v4] mm/kasan: dump alloc and free stack for page allocator

From: Walter Wu
Date: Wed Sep 11 2019 - 09:02:07 EST


This patch is KASAN's report adds the alloc/free stack for page allocator
in order to help programmer to see memory corruption caused by the page.

By default, KASAN doesn't record alloc or free stack for page allocator.
It is difficult to fix up the page use-after-free or double-free issue.

We add the following changing:
1) KASAN enable PAGE_OWNER by default to get the alloc stack of the page.
2) Add new feature option to get the free stack of the page.

The new feature KASAN_DUMP_PAGE depends on DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, it will help
to record free stack of the page, it is very helpful for solving the page
use-after-free or double-free issue.

When KASAN_DUMP_PAGE is enabled then KASAN's report will show the last
alloc and free stack of the page, it should be:

BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in kmalloc_pagealloc_uaf+0x70/0x80
Write of size 1 at addr ffffffc0d60e4000 by task cat/115
...

kmalloc_order+0x28/0x58
kmalloc_order_trace+0x28/0xe0
kmalloc_pagealloc_uaf+0x2c/0x80
page last free stack trace:
__free_pages_ok+0x116c/0x1630
__free_pages+0x50/0x78
kfree+0x1c4/0x250
kmalloc_pagealloc_uaf+0x38/0x80

Changes since v1:
- slim page_owner and move it into kasan
- enable the feature by default

Changes since v2:
- enable PAGE_OWNER by default
- use DEBUG_PAGEALLOC to get page information

Changes since v3:
- correct typo
