kho: warn and exit when unpreserved page wasn't preserved

2025-11-10T05:19:47Z

Calling __kho_unpreserve() on a pair of (pfn, end_pfn) that wasn't preserved is a bug. Currently, if that is done, the physxa or bits can be NULL. This results in a soft lockup since a NULL physxa or bits results in redoing the loop without ever making any progress. Return when physxa or bits are not found, but WARN first to loudly indicate invalid behaviour.

kho: fix unpreservation of higher-order vmalloc preservations

2025-11-10T05:19:47Z

kho_vmalloc_unpreserve_chunk() calls __kho_unpreserve() with end_pfn as pfn + 1. This happens to work for 0-order pages, but leaks higher order pages. For example, say order 2 pages back the allocation. During preservation, they get preserved in the order 2 bitmaps, but kho_vmalloc_unpreserve_chunk() would try to unpreserve them from the order 0 bitmaps, which should not have these bits set anyway, leaving the order 2 bitmaps untouched. This results in the pages being carried over to the next kernel. Nothing will free those pages in the next boot, leaking them. Fix this by taking the order into account when calculating the end PFN for __kho_unpreserve().

kho: fix out-of-bounds access of vmalloc chunk

2025-11-10T05:19:47Z

The list of pages in a vmalloc chunk is NULL-terminated. So when looping through the pages in a vmalloc chunk, both kho_restore_vmalloc() and kho_vmalloc_unpreserve_chunk() rightly make sure to stop when encountering a NULL page. But when the chunk is full, the loops do not stop and go past the bounds of chunk->phys, resulting in out-of-bounds memory access, and possibly the restoration or unpreservation of an invalid page. Fix this by making sure the processing of chunk stops at the end of the array.

gcov: add support for GCC 15

2025-11-10T05:19:44Z

Using gcov on kernels compiled with GCC 15 results in truncated 16-byte long .gcda files with no usable data. To fix this, update GCOV_COUNTERS to match the value defined by GCC 15. Tested with GCC 14.3.0 and GCC 15.2.0.

kho: allocate metadata directly from the buddy allocator

2025-11-10T05:19:42Z

KHO allocates metadata for its preserved memory map using the slab allocator via kzalloc(). This metadata is temporary and is used by the next kernel during early boot to find preserved memory. A problem arises when KFENCE is enabled. kzalloc() calls can be randomly intercepted by kfence_alloc(), which services the allocation from a dedicated KFENCE memory pool. This pool is allocated early in boot via memblock. When booting via KHO, the memblock allocator is restricted to a "scratch area", forcing the KFENCE pool to be allocated within it. This creates a conflict, as the scratch area is expected to be ephemeral and overwriteable by a subsequent kexec. If KHO metadata is placed in this KFENCE pool, it leads to memory corruption when the next kernel is loaded. To fix this, modify KHO to allocate its metadata directly from the buddy allocator instead of slab.

kho: increase metadata bitmap size to PAGE_SIZE

2025-11-10T05:19:41Z

KHO memory preservation metadata is preserved in 512 byte chunks which requires their allocation from slab allocator. Slabs are not safe to be used with KHO because of kfence, and because partial slabs may lead leaks to the next kernel. Change the size to be PAGE_SIZE. The kfence specifically may cause memory corruption, where it randomly provides slab objects that can be within the scratch area. The reason for that is that kfence allocates its objects prior to KHO scratch is marked as CMA region. While this change could potentially increase metadata overhead on systems with sparsely preserved memory, this is being mitigated by ongoing work to reduce sparseness during preservation via 1G guest pages. Furthermore, this change aligns with future work on a stateless KHO, which will also use page-sized bitmaps for its radix tree metadata.

kho: warn and fail on metadata or preserved memory in scratch area

2025-11-10T05:19:41Z

Patch series "KHO: kfence + KHO memory corruption fix", v3. This series fixes a memory corruption bug in KHO that occurs when KFENCE is enabled. The root cause is that KHO metadata, allocated via kzalloc(), can be randomly serviced by kfence_alloc(). When a kernel boots via KHO, the early memblock allocator is restricted to a "scratch area". This forces the KFENCE pool to be allocated within this scratch area, creating a conflict. If KHO metadata is subsequently placed in this pool, it gets corrupted during the next kexec operation. Google is using KHO and have had obscure crashes due to this memory corruption, with stacks all over the place. I would prefer this fix to be properly backported to stable so we can also automatically consume it once we switch to the upstream KHO. Patch 1/3 introduces a debug-only feature (CONFIG_KEXEC_HANDOVER_DEBUG) that adds checks to detect and fail any operation that attempts to place KHO metadata or preserved memory within the scratch area. This serves as a validation and diagnostic tool to confirm the problem without affecting production builds. Patch 2/3 Increases bitmap to PAGE_SIZE, so buddy allocator can be used. Patch 3/3 Provides the fix by modifying KHO to allocate its metadata directly from the buddy allocator instead of slab. This bypasses the KFENCE interception entirely. This patch (of 3): It is invalid for KHO metadata or preserved memory regions to be located within the KHO scratch area, as this area is overwritten when the next kernel is loaded, and used early in boot by the next kernel. This can lead to memory corruption. Add checks to kho_preserve_* and KHO's internal metadata allocators (xa_load_or_alloc, new_chunk) to verify that the physical address of the memory does not overlap with any defined scratch region. If an overlap is detected, the operation will fail and a WARN_ON is triggered. To avoid performance overhead in production kernels, these checks are enabled only when CONFIG_KEXEC_HANDOVER_DEBUG is selected.
