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.

kmemleak: Do not trigger a scan when reading the debug/kmemleak file Since there is a kernel thread for automatically scanning the memory, it makes sense for the debug/kmemleak file to only show its findings. This patch also adds support for "echo scan > debug/kmemleak" to trigger an intermediate memory scan and eliminates the kmemleak_mutex (scan_mutex covers all the cases now).

kmemleak: Do no create the clean-up thread during kmemleak_disable() The kmemleak_disable() function could be called from various contexts including IRQ. It creates a clean-up thread but the kthread_create() function has restrictions on which contexts it can be called from, mainly because of the kthread_create_lock. The patch changes the kmemleak clean-up thread to a workqueue. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Reported-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

kmemleak: Reduce the false positives by checking for modified objects If an object was modified since it was previously suspected as leak, do not report it. The modification check is done by calculating the checksum (CRC32) of such object. Several false positives are caused by objects being removed from linked lists (e.g. allocation pools) and temporarily breaking the reference chain since kmemleak runs concurrently with such list mutation primitives.

kmemleak: Save the stack trace for early allocations Before slab is initialised, kmemleak save the allocations in an early log buffer. They are later recorded as normal memory allocations. This patch adds the stack trace saving to the early log buffer, otherwise the information shown for such objects only refers to the kmemleak_init() function.

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.

kmemleak: Reduce the false positives by checking for modified objects If an object was modified since it was previously suspected as leak, do not report it. The modification check is done by calculating the checksum (CRC32) of such object. Several false positives are caused by objects being removed from linked lists (e.g. allocation pools) and temporarily breaking the reference chain since kmemleak runs concurrently with such list mutation primitives.

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.

kmemleak: Reduce the false positives by checking for modified objects If an object was modified since it was previously suspected as leak, do not report it. The modification check is done by calculating the checksum (CRC32) of such object. Several false positives are caused by objects being removed from linked lists (e.g. allocation pools) and temporarily breaking the reference chain since kmemleak runs concurrently with such list mutation primitives.

kmemleak: Scan objects allocated during a scanning episode Many of the false positives in kmemleak happen on busy systems where objects are allocated during a kmemleak scanning episode. These objects aren't scanned by default until the next memory scan. When such object is added, for example, at the head of a list, it is possible that all the other objects in the list become unreferenced until the next scan. This patch adds checking for newly allocated objects at the end of the scan and repeats the scanning on these objects. If Linux allocates new objects at a higher rate than their scanning, it stops after a predefined number of passes. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>

kmemleak: add clear command support In an ideal world your kmemleak output will be small, when its not (usually during initial bootup) you can use the clear command to ingore previously reported and unreferenced kmemleak objects. We do this by painting all currently reported unreferenced objects grey. We paint them grey instead of black to allow future scans on the same objects as such objects could still potentially reference newly allocated objects in the future. To test a critical section on demand with a clean /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak you can do: echo clear > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak test your kernel or modules echo scan > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak Then as usual to get your report with: cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak Signed-off-by: Luis R.

kmemleak: Do not trigger a scan when reading the debug/kmemleak file Since there is a kernel thread for automatically scanning the memory, it makes sense for the debug/kmemleak file to only show its findings. This patch also adds support for "echo scan > debug/kmemleak" to trigger an intermediate memory scan and eliminates the kmemleak_mutex (scan_mutex covers all the cases now).

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.
