    lib/stackdepot: allow optional init and stack_table allocation by kvmalloc() · 2dba5eb1
    Vlastimil Babka authored
    Currently, enabling CONFIG_STACKDEPOT means its stack_table will be
    allocated from memblock, even if stack depot ends up not actually used.
    The default size of stack_table is 4MB on 32-bit, 8MB on 64-bit.
    
    This is fine for use-cases such as KASAN which is also a config option
    and has overhead on its own.  But it's an issue for functionality that
    has to be actually enabled on boot (page_owner) or depends on hardware
    (GPU drivers) and thus the memory might be wasted.  This was raised as
    an issue [1] when attempting to add stackdepot support for SLUB's debug
    object tracking functionality.  It's common to build kernels with
    CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG and enable slub_debug on boot only when needed, or
    create only specific kmem caches with debugging for testing purposes.
    
    It would thus be more efficient if stackdepot's table was allocated only
    when actually going to be used.  This patch thus makes the allocation
    (and whole stack_depot_init() call) optional:
    
     - Add a CONFIG_STACKDEPOT_ALWAYS_INIT flag to keep using the current
       well-defined point of allocation as part of mem_init(). Make
       CONFIG_KASAN select this flag.
    
     - Other users have to call stack_depot_init() as part of their own init
       when it's determined that stack depot will actually be used. This may
       depend on both config and runtime conditions. Convert current users
       which are page_owner and several in the DRM subsystem. Same will be
       done for SLUB later.
    
     - Because the init might now be called after the boot-time memblock
       allocation has given all memory to the buddy allocator, change
       stack_depot_init() to allocate stack_table with kvmalloc() when
       memblock is no longer available. Also handle allocation failure by
       disabling stackdepot (could have theoretically happened even with
       memblock allocation previously), and don't unnecessarily align the
       memblock allocation to its own size anymore.

    There is a spelling mistake of the work allocation so fix this and
    re-phrase the message to make it easier to read.

    On FLATMEM, we call page_ext_init_flatmem_late() just before
    kmem_cache_init() which means stack_depot_init() (called by page owner
    init) will not recognize properly it should use kvmalloc() and not
    memblock_alloc().  memblock_alloc() will also not issue a warning and
    return a block memory that can be invalid and cause kernel page fault when
    saving stacks, as reported by the kernel test robot [1].
    
    Fix this by moving page_ext_init_flatmem_late() below kmem_cache_init() so
    that slab_is_available() is true during stack_depot_init().  SPARSEMEM
    doesn't have this issue, as it doesn't do page_ext_init_flatmem_late(),
    but a different page_ext_init() even later in the boot process.
    
    Thanks to Mike Rapoport for pointing out the FLATMEM init ordering issue.
    
    While at it, also actually resolve a checkpatch warning in stack_depot_init()
    from DRM CI, which was supposed to be in the original patch already.

    Due to cd06ab2f ("drm/locking: add backtrace for locking contended
    locks without backoff") landing recently to -next adding a new stack depot
    user in drivers/gpu/drm/drm_modeset_lock.c we need to add an appropriate
    call to stack_depot_init() there as well.
