Yonghong Song 7758e308ae bpf: Fix kmemleak warning for percpu hashmap 
[ Upstream commit 11ba7ce076 ]

Vlad Poenaru reported the following kmemleak issue:

  unreferenced object 0x606fd7c44ac8 (size 32):
    backtrace (crc 0):
      pcpu_alloc_noprof+0x730/0xeb0
      bpf_map_alloc_percpu+0x69/0xc0
      prealloc_init+0x9d/0x1b0
      htab_map_alloc+0x363/0x510
      map_create+0x215/0x3a0
      __sys_bpf+0x16b/0x3e0
      __x64_sys_bpf+0x18/0x20
      do_syscall_64+0x7b/0x150
      entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x4b/0x53

Further investigation shows the reason is due to not 8-byte aligned
store of percpu pointer in htab_elem_set_ptr():
  *(void __percpu **)(l->key + key_size) = pptr;

Note that the whole htab_elem alignment is 8 (for x86_64). If the key_size
is 4, that means pptr is stored in a location which is 4 byte aligned but
not 8 byte aligned. In mm/kmemleak.c, scan_block() scans the memory based
on 8 byte stride, so it won't detect above pptr, hence reporting the memory
leak.

In htab_map_alloc(), we already have

        htab->elem_size = sizeof(struct htab_elem) +
                          round_up(htab->map.key_size, 8);
        if (percpu)
                htab->elem_size += sizeof(void *);
        else
                htab->elem_size += round_up(htab->map.value_size, 8);

So storing pptr with 8-byte alignment won't cause any problem and can fix
kmemleak too.

The issue can be reproduced with bpf selftest as well:
  1. Enable CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK config
  2. Add a getchar() before skel destroy in test_hash_map() in prog_tests/for_each.c.
     The purpose is to keep map available so kmemleak can be detected.
  3. run './test_progs -t for_each/hash_map &' and a kmemleak should be reported.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
