The LoongArch architecture is different from other architectures. It
needs to update __kfence_pool during arch_kfence_init_pool().

This patch modifies the assignment location of the local variable addr
in the kfence_init_pool() function to support the case of updating
__kfence_pool in arch_kfence_init_pool().

kfence_metadata is currently a static array.  For the purpose of
allocating scalable __kfence_pool, we first change it to runtime
allocation of metadata.  Since the size of an object of kfence_metadata is
1160 bytes, we can save at least 72 pages (with default 256 objects)
without enabling kfence.

<content type='text'>
When exploiting memory vulnerabilities, "heap spraying" is a common
technique targeting those related to dynamic memory allocation (i.e. the
"heap"), and it plays an important role in a successful exploitation.
Basically, it is to overwrite the memory area of vulnerable object by
triggering allocation in other subsystems or modules and therefore
getting a reference to the targeted memory location. It's usable on
various types of vulnerablity including use after free (UAF), heap out-
of-bound write and etc.

There are (at least) two reasons why the heap can be sprayed: 1) generic
slab caches are shared among different subsystems and modules, and
2) dedicated slab caches could be merged with the generic ones.
Currently these two factors cannot be prevented at a low cost: the first
one is a widely used memory allocation mechanism, and shutting down slab
merging completely via `slub_nomerge` would be overkill.

To efficiently prevent heap spraying, we propose the following approach:
to create multiple copies of generic slab caches that will never be
merged, and random one of them will be used at allocation. The random
selection is based on the address of code that calls `kmalloc()`, which
means it is static at runtime (rather than dynamically determined at
each time of allocation, which could be bypassed by repeatedly spraying
in brute force). In other words, the randomness of cache selection will
be with respect to the code address rather than time, i.e. allocations
in different code paths would most likely pick different caches,
although kmalloc() at each place would use the same cache copy whenever
it is executed. In this way, the vulnerable object and memory allocated
in other subsystems and modules will (most probably) be on different
slab caches, which prevents the object from being sprayed.

Meanwhile, the static random selection is further enhanced with a
per-boot random seed, which prevents the attacker from finding a usable
kmalloc that happens to pick the same cache with the vulnerable
subsystem/module by analyzing the open source code. In other words, with
the per-boot seed, the random selection is static during each time the
system starts and runs, but not across different system startups.

The overhead of performance has been tested on a 40-core x86 server by
comparing the results of `perf bench all` between the kernels with and
without this patch based on the latest linux-next kernel, which shows
minor difference. A subset of benchmarks are listed below:

on a QEMU VM with 1GB total memory, and as expected, it's positively
correlated with # of cache copies:

<title>mm/slab: introduce kmem_cache flag SLAB_NO_MERGE</title>

Allow API users of kmem_cache_create to specify that they don't want
any slab merge or aliasing (with similar sized objects). Use this in
kfence_test.

The SKB (sk_buff) kmem_cache slab is critical for network performance.
Network stack uses kmem_cache_{alloc,free}_bulk APIs to gain
performance by amortising the alloc/free cost.

For the bulk API to perform efficiently the slub fragmentation need to
be low. Especially for the SLUB allocator, the efficiency of bulk free
API depend on objects belonging to the same slab (page).

When running different network performance microbenchmarks, I started
to notice that performance was reduced (slightly) when machines had
longer uptimes. I believe the cause was 'skbuff_head_cache' got
aliased/merged into the general slub for 256 bytes sized objects (with
my kernel config, without CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY).

For SKB kmem_cache network stack have reasons for not merging, but it
varies depending on kernel config (e.g. CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY).
We want to explicitly set SLAB_NO_MERGE for this kmem_cache.

Another use case for the flag has been described by David Sterba [1]:

&gt; This can be used for more fine grained control over the caches or for
&gt; debugging builds where separate slabs can verify that no objects leak.

&gt; The slab_nomerge boot option is too coarse and would need to be
&gt; enabled on all testing hosts. There are some other ways how to disable
&gt; merging, e.g. a slab constructor but this disables poisoning besides
&gt; that it adds additional overhead. Other flags are internal and may
&gt; have other semantics.

&gt; A concrete example what motivates the flag. During 'btrfs balance'
&gt; slab top reported huge increase in caches like

&gt;  1330095 1330095 100%    0.10K  34105       39    136420K Acpi-ParseExt
&gt;  1734684 1734684 100%    0.14K  61953       28    247812K pid_namespace
&gt;  8244036 6873075  83%    0.11K 229001       36    916004K khugepaged_mm_slot

&gt; which was confusing and that it's because of slab merging was not the
&gt; first idea.  After rebooting with slab_nomerge all the caches were
&gt; from btrfs_ namespace as expected.

Since commit 1ba3cbf3ec3b ("mm: kfence: improve the performance of
__kfence_alloc() and __kfence_free()"), kfence reports failures in random
places at boot on big endian machines.

The problem is that the new KFENCE_CANARY_PATTERN_U64 encodes the address
of each byte in its value, so it needs to be byte swapped on big endian
machines.

The compiler is smart enough to do the le64_to_cpu() at compile time, so
there is no runtime overhead.

Since commit 1ba3cbf3ec3b ("mm: kfence: improve the performance of
__kfence_alloc() and __kfence_free()"), kfence reports failures in random
places at boot on big endian machines.

The problem is that the new KFENCE_CANARY_PATTERN_U64 encodes the address
of each byte in its value, so it needs to be byte swapped on big endian
machines.

The compiler is smart enough to do the le64_to_cpu() at compile time, so
there is no runtime overhead.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - Nick Piggin's "shoot lazy tlbs" series, to improve the peformance of
   switching from a user process to a kernel thread.

 - More folio conversions from Kefeng Wang, Zhang Peng and Pankaj
   Raghav.

 - zsmalloc performance improvements from Sergey Senozhatsky.

 - Yue Zhao has found and fixed some data race issues around the
   alteration of memcg userspace tunables.

 - VFS rationalizations from Christoph Hellwig:
     - removal of most of the callers of write_one_page()
     - make __filemap_get_folio()'s return value more useful

 - Luis Chamberlain has changed tmpfs so it no longer requires swap
   backing. Use `mount -o noswap'.

 - Qi Zheng has made the slab shrinkers operate locklessly, providing
   some scalability benefits.

 - Keith Busch has improved dmapool's performance, making part of its
   operations O(1) rather than O(n).

 - Peter Xu adds the UFFD_FEATURE_WP_UNPOPULATED feature to userfaultd,
   permitting userspace to wr-protect anon memory unpopulated ptes.

 - Kirill Shutemov has changed MAX_ORDER's meaning to be inclusive
   rather than exclusive, and has fixed a bunch of errors which were
   caused by its unintuitive meaning.

 - Axel Rasmussen give userfaultfd the UFFDIO_CONTINUE_MODE_WP feature,
   which causes minor faults to install a write-protected pte.

 - Vlastimil Babka has done some maintenance work on vma_merge():
   cleanups to the kernel code and improvements to our userspace test
   harness.

 - Cleanups to do_fault_around() by Lorenzo Stoakes.

 - Mike Rapoport has moved a lot of initialization code out of various
   mm/ files and into mm/mm_init.c.

 - Lorenzo Stoakes removd vmf_insert_mixed_prot(), which was added for
   DRM, but DRM doesn't use it any more.

 - Lorenzo has also coverted read_kcore() and vread() to use iterators
   and has thereby removed the use of bounce buffers in some cases.

 - Lorenzo has also contributed further cleanups of vma_merge().

 - Chaitanya Prakash provides some fixes to the mmap selftesting code.

 - Matthew Wilcox changes xfs and afs so they no longer take sleeping
   locks in -&gt;map_page(), a step towards RCUification of pagefaults.

 - Suren Baghdasaryan has improved mmap_lock scalability by switching to
   per-VMA locking.

 - Frederic Weisbecker has reworked the percpu cache draining so that it
   no longer causes latency glitches on cpu isolated workloads.

 - Mike Rapoport cleans up and corrects the ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER Kconfig
   logic.

 - Liu Shixin has changed zswap's initialization so we no longer waste a
   chunk of memory if zswap is not being used.

 - Yosry Ahmed has improved the performance of memcg statistics
   flushing.

 - David Stevens has fixed several issues involving khugepaged,
   userfaultfd and shmem.

 - Christoph Hellwig has provided some cleanup work to zram's IO-related
   code paths.

 - David Hildenbrand has fixed up some issues in the selftest code's
   testing of our pte state changing.

 - Pankaj Raghav has made page_endio() unneeded and has removed it.

 - Peter Xu contributed some rationalizations of the userfaultfd
   selftests.

 - Yosry Ahmed has fixed an issue around memcg's page recalim
   accounting.

 - Chaitanya Prakash has fixed some arm-related issues in the
   selftests/mm code.

 - Longlong Xia has improved the way in which KSM handles hwpoisoned
   pages.

 - Peter Xu fixes a few issues with uffd-wp at fork() time.

 - Stefan Roesch has changed KSM so that it may now be used on a
   per-process and per-cgroup basis.
