Subject: [PATCH v2 4/9] slab: Introduce kmem_buckets_create()
Dedicated caches are available For fixed size allocations via
kmem_cache_alloc(), but for dynamically sized allocations there is only
the global kmalloc API's set of buckets available. This means it isn't
possible to separate specific sets of dynamically sized allocations into
a separate collection of caches.
This leads to a use-after-free exploitation weakness in the Linux
kernel since many heap memory spraying/grooming attacks depend on using
userspace-controllable dynamically sized allocations to collide with
fixed size allocations that end up in same cache.
While CONFIG_RANDOM_KMALLOC_CACHES provides a probabilistic defense
against these kinds of "type confusion" attacks, including for fixed
same-size heap objects, we can create a complementary deterministic
defense for dynamically sized allocations.
In order to isolate user-controllable sized allocations from system
allocations, introduce kmem_buckets_create(), which behaves like
kmem_cache_create(). (The next patch will introduce kmem_buckets_alloc(),
which behaves like kmem_cache_alloc().)
Allows for confining allocations to a dedicated set of sized caches
(which have the same layout as the kmalloc caches).
This can also be used in the future once codetag allocation annotations
exist to implement per-caller allocation cache isolation[1] even for
dynamic allocations.
