[PATCH] kasan, module, vmalloc: rework shadow allocation for modules

From: Andrey Ryabinin
Date: Wed Feb 18 2015 - 12:44:43 EST


Current approach in handling shadow memory for modules is broken.

Shadow memory could be freed only after memory shadow corresponds
it is no longer used.
vfree() called from interrupt context could use memory its
freeing to store 'struct llist_node' in it:

void vfree(const void *addr)
{
...
if (unlikely(in_interrupt())) {
struct vfree_deferred *p = this_cpu_ptr(&vfree_deferred);
if (llist_add((struct llist_node *)addr, &p->list))
schedule_work(&p->wq);

Latter this list node used in free_work() which actually frees memory.
Currently module_memfree() called in interrupt context will free
shadow before freeing module's memory which could provoke kernel
crash.
So shadow memory should be freed after module's memory.
However, such deallocation order could race with kasan_module_alloc()
in module_alloc().

To fix this we could move kasan hooks into vmalloc code. This allows
us to allocate/free shadow memory in appropriate time and order.

This hooks also might be helpful in future if we decide to track
other vmalloc'ed memory.
