x86/pm: Fix false positive kmemleak report in msr_build_context()
Since
e2a1256 ("x86/speculation: Restore speculation related MSRs during S3 resume")
kmemleak reports this issue:
unreferenced object 0xffff888009cedc00 (size 256):
comm "swapper/0", pid 1, jiffies 4294693823 (age 73.764s)
hex dump (first 32 bytes):
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 48 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........H.......
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................
backtrace:
msr_build_context (include/linux/slab.h:621)
pm_check_save_msr (arch/x86/power/cpu.c:520)
do_one_initcall (init/main.c:1298)
kernel_init_freeable (init/main.c:1370)
kernel_init (init/main.c:1504)
ret_from_fork (arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:304)
Reproducer:
- boot the VM with a debug kernel config (see
multipath-tcp/mptcp_net-next#268)
- wait ~1 minute
- start a kmemleak scan
The root cause here is alignment within the packed struct saved_context
(from suspend_64.h). Kmemleak only searches for pointers that are
aligned (see how pointers are scanned in kmemleak.c), but pahole shows
that the saved_msrs struct member and all members after it in the
structure are unaligned:
struct saved_context {
struct pt_regs regs; /* 0 168 */
/* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) was 40 bytes ago --- */
u16 ds; /* 168 2 */
...
u64 misc_enable; /* 232 8 */
bool misc_enable_saved; /* 240 1 */
/* Note below odd offset values for the remainder of this struct */
struct saved_msrs saved_msrs; /* 241 16 */
/* --- cacheline 4 boundary (256 bytes) was 1 bytes ago --- */
long unsigned int efer; /* 257 8 */
u16 gdt_pad; /* 265 2 */
struct desc_ptr gdt_desc; /* 267 10 */
u16 idt_pad; /* 277 2 */
struct desc_ptr idt; /* 279 10 */
u16 ldt; /* 289 2 */
u16 tss; /* 291 2 */
long unsigned int tr; /* 293 8 */
long unsigned int safety; /* 301 8 */
long unsigned int return_address; /* 309 8 */
/* size: 317, cachelines: 5, members: 25 */
/* last cacheline: 61 bytes */
} __attribute__((__packed__));
Move misc_enable_saved to the end of the struct declaration so that
saved_msrs fits in before the cacheline 4 boundary.
The comment above the saved_context declaration says to fix wakeup_64.S
file and __save/__restore_processor_state() if the struct is modified:
it looks like all the accesses in wakeup_64.S are done through offsets
which are computed at build-time. Update that comment accordingly.
At the end, the false positive kmemleak report is due to a limitation
from kmemleak but it is always good to avoid unaligned members for
optimisation purposes.
Please note that it looks like this issue is not new, e.g.
