Vlastimil Babka 59bb47985c mm, sl[aou]b: guarantee natural alignment for kmalloc(power-of-two)
In most configurations, kmalloc() happens to return naturally aligned
(i.e.  aligned to the block size itself) blocks for power of two sizes.

That means some kmalloc() users might unknowingly rely on that
alignment, until stuff breaks when the kernel is built with e.g.
CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG or CONFIG_SLOB, and blocks stop being aligned.  Then
developers have to devise workaround such as own kmem caches with
specified alignment [1], which is not always practical, as recently
evidenced in [2].

The topic has been discussed at LSF/MM 2019 [3].  Adding a
'kmalloc_aligned()' variant would not help with code unknowingly relying
on the implicit alignment.  For slab implementations it would either
require creating more kmalloc caches, or allocate a larger size and only
give back part of it.  That would be wasteful, especially with a generic
alignment parameter (in contrast with a fixed alignment to size).

Ideally we should provide to mm users what they need without difficult
workarounds or own reimplementations, so let's make the kmalloc()
alignment to size explicitly guaranteed for power-of-two sizes under all
configurations.  What this means for the three available allocators?

* SLAB object layout happens to be mostly unchanged by the patch.  The
  implicitly provided alignment could be compromised with
  CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB due to redzoning, however SLAB disables redzoning for
  caches with alignment larger than unsigned long long.  Practically on at
  least x86 this includes kmalloc caches as they use cache line alignment,
  which is larger than that.  Still, this patch ensures alignment on all
  arches and cache sizes.

* SLUB layout is also unchanged unless redzoning is enabled through
  CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG and boot parameter for the particular kmalloc cache.
  With this patch, explicit alignment is guaranteed with redzoning as
  well.  This will result in more memory being wasted, but that should be
  acceptable in a debugging scenario.

* SLOB has no implicit alignment so this patch adds it explicitly for
  kmalloc().  The potential downside is increased fragmentation.  While
  pathological allocation scenarios are certainly possible, in my testing,
  after booting a x86_64 kernel+userspace with virtme, around 16MB memory
  was consumed by slab pages both before and after the patch, with
  difference in the noise.

/*
* SLOB Allocator: Simple List Of Blocks
*
* Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com> 12/30/03
*
* NUMA support by Paul Mundt, 2007.
*
* How SLOB works:
*
* The core of SLOB is a traditional K&R style heap allocator, with
* support for returning aligned objects. The granularity of this
* allocator is as little as 2 bytes, however typically most architectures
* will require 4 bytes on 32-bit and 8 bytes on 64-bit.
*
* The slob heap is a set of linked list of pages from alloc_pages(),
* and within each page, there is a singly-linked list of free blocks
* (slob_t). The heap is grown on demand. To reduce fragmentation,
* heap pages are segregated into three lists, with objects less than
* 256 bytes, objects less than 1024 bytes, and all other objects.
*
* Allocation from heap involves first searching for a page with
* sufficient free blocks (using a next-fit-like approach) followed by
* a first-fit scan of the page. Deallocation inserts objects back
* into the free list in address order, so this is effectively an
* address-ordered first fit.
*
* Above this is an implementation of kmalloc/kfree. Blocks returned
* from kmalloc are prepended with a 4-byte header with the kmalloc size.
* If kmalloc is asked for objects of PAGE_SIZE or larger, it calls
* alloc_pages() directly, allocating compound pages so the page order
* does not have to be separately tracked.
* These objects are detected in kfree() because PageSlab()
* is false for them.
*
* SLAB is emulated on top of SLOB by simply calling constructors and
* destructors for every SLAB allocation. Objects are returned with the
* 4-byte alignment unless the SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN flag is set, in which
* case the low-level allocator will fragment blocks to create the proper
* alignment. Again, objects of page-size or greater are allocated by
* calling alloc_pages(). As SLAB objects know their size, no separate
* size bookkeeping is necessary and there is essentially no allocation
* space overhead, and compound pages aren't needed for multi-page
* allocations.
*
* NUMA support in SLOB is fairly simplistic, pushing most of the real
* logic down to the page allocator, and simply doing the node accounting
* on the upper levels. In the event that a node id is explicitly
* provided, __alloc_pages_node() with the specified node id is used
* instead. The common case (or when the node id isn't explicitly provided)
* will default to the current node, as per numa_node_id().
*
* Node aware pages are still inserted in to the global freelist, and
* these are scanned for by matching against the node id encoded in the
* page flags. As a result, block allocations that can be satisfied from
* the freelist will only be done so on pages residing on the same node,
* in order to prevent random node placement.
