mm/damon/paddr: support REPORT_MADE type probe filter
This commit adds support for the DAMON_FILTER_TYPE_REPORT_MADE probe
filter in the physical address space operation set by querying
damon_report_exist() over the last sampling interval.

[Severity: Medium]
Can assigning pa and pa + 1 into addr_range truncate 64-bit physical
addresses and miss reports when ctx->addr_unit > 1?
struct damon_addr_range defines start and end as unsigned long, so on
32-bit PAE/LPAE systems where phys_addr_t is 64-bit, physical addresses
at or above 4 GiB lose their upper 32 bits (and pa + 1 wraps to 0 when
the low 32 bits are 0xffffffff). In addition, when ctx->addr_unit > 1,
pa is aligned to ctx->addr_unit, so setting addr_range.end = pa + 1 only
checks the first byte of the sampled unit instead of [pa, pa +
ctx->addr_unit).

[Severity: High]
Does calling damon_report_exist() read uninitialized or out-of-bounds
elements from damon_report_queue.reports?
In damon_submit_report(), the report is written at queue->reports[tail]
and queue->tail is then incremented, so queue->tail points to the next
slot to be written and is never wrapped when it reaches queue->size:
mm/damon/core.c:damon_submit_report() {
...
tail = queue->tail;
if (tail == queue->size)
tail = 0;
queue->reports[tail] = *report;
queue->tail++;
...
}
mm/damon/core.c:damon_report_exist() {
...
idx = queue->tail;
for (nr_read = 0; nr_read < queue->nr_reports; nr_read++) {
report = &queue->reports[idx];
if (idx)
idx--;
else
idx = queue->size - 1;
...
}
Because damon_report_exist() indexes queue->reports[idx] at queue->tail
before decrementing idx, it reads uninitialized heap memory on the first
iteration while 1 <= nr_reports < queue->size (and never inspects index
0), and reads out of bounds at queue->reports[queue->size] and beyond once
queue->size reports have been submitted.
[Severity: Medium]
Can filter->report_type be uninitialized here when a new
DAMON_FILTER_TYPE_REPORT_MADE filter is added via damon_commit_ctx()?
damon_new_filter() allocates struct damon_filter with kmalloc_obj()
without zeroing the union, and when damon_commit_filters() creates a new
filter it only copies union members for DAMON_FILTER_TYPE_MEMCG and
DAMON_FILTER_TYPE_HUGEPAGE_SIZE:
mm/damon/core.c:damon_commit_filters() {
...
new_filter = damon_new_filter(src_filter->type,
src_filter->matching, src_filter->allow);
if (!new_filter)
return -ENOMEM;
switch (src_filter->type) {
case DAMON_FILTER_TYPE_MEMCG:
new_filter->memcg_id = src_filter->memcg_id;
break;
case DAMON_FILTER_TYPE_HUGEPAGE_SIZE:
if (src_filter->range_max < src_filter->range_min) {
damon_destroy_filter(new_filter);
return -EINVAL;
}
new_filter->range_min = src_filter->range_min;
new_filter->range_max = src_filter->range_max;
break;
default:
break;
}
...
}
As a result, new_filter->report_type retains uninitialized slab bytes
when damon_pa_filter_match() passes it to damon_report_exist().
