一文详解Linux内存检测技术

Linux常见的内存访问错误有：

越界访问(out of bounds)

访问已经释放的内存(use after free)

重复释放

内存泄露(memory leak)

栈溢出(stack overflow)

不同的工具有不同的侧重点，本章主要从slub_debug、kmemleak、kasan三个工具介绍。

kmemleak侧重于内存泄露问题发现。

slub_debug和kasan有一定的重复，部分slub_debug问题需要借助slabinfo去发现；kasan更快，所有问题独立上报，缺点是需要高版本GCC支持(gcc 4.9.2 or gcc 5.0)。

测试环境准备

更新内核版本到Kernel v4.4，然后编译：

git clone https://github.com/arnoldlu/linux.git -b running_kernel_4.4 export ARCH=arm64 export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- make defconfig make bzImage -j4 ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-

slub_debug

关键词：Red Zone、Padding、Object Layout。

Linux内核中，小块内存大量使用slab/slub分配器，slub_debug提供了内存检测小功能。

内存中比较容易出错的地方有：

访问已经释放的内存

越界访问

重复释放内存

编译支持slub_debug内核

首先需要打开General setup -> Enable SLUB debugging support，然后再选择Kernel hacking -> Memory Debugging -> SLUB debugging on by default。

CONFIG_SLUB=y CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG=y CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON=y CONFIG_SLUB_STATS=y

测试环境：slabinfo、slub.ko

通过slub.ko模拟内存异常访问，有些可以直接显示，有些需要通过slabinfo -v来查看。

在tools/vm目录下，执行如下命令，生成可执行文件slabinfo。放入_install目录，打包到zImage中。

make slabinfo CFLAGS=-static ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi-

将编译好的slabinfo放入sbin。

下面三个测试代码：https://github.com/arnoldlu/linux/tree/running_kernel_4.4/test_code/slub_debug

在test_code/slub_debug目录下执行make.sh，将slub.ko/slub2.ko/slub3.ko放入data。

进行测试

启动QEMU：

qemu-system-aarch64 -machine virt -cpu cortex-a57 -machine type=virt -smp 2 -m 2048 -kernel arch/arm64/boot/Image --append "rdinit=/linuxrc console=ttyAMA0 loglevel=8 slub_debug=UFPZ" -nographic

F：在free的时候会执行检查。

Z：表示Red Zone的意思。

P：是Poison的意思。

U：会记录slab的使用者信息，如果打开，会会显示分配释放对象的栈回溯。

在slub_debug打开SLAB_STORE_USER选项后，可以清晰地看到问题点的backtrace。

测试结果

内存越界访问包括Redzone overwritten和Object padding overwritten。

重复释放对应Object already free。访问已释放内存为Posion overwritten。

Redzone overwritten

执行insmod data/slub.ko，使用slabinfo -v查看结果。

static void create_slub_error(void) { buf = kmalloc(32, GFP_KERNEL); if(buf) { memset(buf, 0x55, 80);-----------------------------------虽然分配32字节，但是对应分配了64字节。所以设置为80字节访问触发异常。从buf开始的80个字节仍然被初始化成功。 } }

虽然kmalloc申请了32字节的slab缓冲区，但是内核分配的是kmalloc-64。所以memset 36字节不会报错，将36改成大于64即可。

一个slub Debug输出包括四大部分：

Object already free

void create_slub_error(void)
{
  buf = kmalloc(32, GFP_KERNEL);

    kfree(buf);
    printk("al: Object already freed");
    kfree(buf);
  }
}
内核中free执行流程如下：
kfree
  ->slab_free
    ->__slab_free
      ->kmem_cache_debug
        ->free_debug_processing
         ->on_freelist

kmemleak

kmemleak是内核提供的一种检测内存泄露工具，启动一个内核线程扫描内存，并打印发现新的未引用对象数量。

支持kmemleak内核选项

要使用kmemlieak，需要打开如下内核选项。

Kernel hacking->Memory Debugging->Kernel memory leak detector：

CONFIG_HAVE_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK=y CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK=y CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_EARLY_LOG_SIZE=400 # CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_TEST is not set CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_DEFAULT_OFF=y---------或者关闭此选项，则不需要在命令行添加kmemleak=on。

构造测试环境

同时还需要在内核启动命令行中添加kmemleak=on。

qemu-system-aarch64 -machine virt -cpu cortex-a57 -machine type=virt -smp 2 -m 2048 -kernel arch/arm64/boot/Image --append "rdinit=/linuxrc console=ttyAMA0 loglevel=8 kmemleak=on" -nographic

static char *buf; void create_kmemleak(void) { buf = kmalloc(120, GFP_KERNEL); buf = vmalloc(4096); }

进行测试

进行kmemleak测试之前，需要写入scan触发扫描操作。

然后通过读kmemlean节点读取相关信息。

打开kmemlean扫描功能：echo scan > sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak

加载问题module：insmod data/kmemleak.ko

等待问题发现：kmemleak: 2 new suspected memory leaks (see /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak)

查看kmemleak结果：cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak

分析测试结果

每处泄露，都标出泄露地址和大小；相关进程信息；内存内容dump；栈回溯。
kmemleak会提示内存泄露可疑对象的具体栈调用信息、可疑对象的大小、使用哪个函数分配、二进制打印。

kasan

kasan暂不支持32位ARM，支持ARM64和X86。

kasan是一个动态检查内存错误的工具，可以检查内存越界访问、使用已释放内存、重复释放以及栈溢出。

使能kasan

使用kasan，必须打开CONFIG_KASAN。

Kernel hacking->Memory debugging->KASan: runtime memory debugger

CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_KASAN=y CONFIG_KASAN=y # CONFIG_KASAN_OUTLINE is not set CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE=y CONFIG_TEST_KASAN=m

代码分析

kasan_report ->kasan_report_error ->print_error_description ->print_address_description ->print_shadow_for_address

测试用及分析

kasan提供了一个测试程序test_kacan.c，将其编译成模块，加载到内核。可以模拟很多内存错误场景。

kasan可以检测到越界访问、访问已释放内存、重复释放等类型错误，其中重复释放借助于slub_debug。

insmod data/kasan.ko

越界访问包括slab越界、栈越界、全局变量越界；访问已释放内存use-after-free；重复释放可以被slub_debug识别。

slab-out-of-bounds

static noinline void __init kmalloc_oob_right(void)
{
    char *ptr;
    size_t size = 123;

    pr_info("out-of-bounds to right\n");
    ptr = kmalloc(size, GFP_KERNEL);
    if (!ptr) {
        pr_err("Allocation failed\n");
        return;
    }

    ptr[size] = 'x';
    kfree(ptr);
}
此种错误类型是对slab的越界访问，包括左侧、右侧、扩大、缩小后越界访问。除了数组赋值，还包括memset、指针访问等等。

小结

kmemleak检查内存泄露的独门绝技，让其有一定市场空间。但功能比较单一，专注于内存泄露问题。

对于非ARM64/x86平台，只能使用slub_debug进行内存问题分析；kasan更高效，但也需要更高的内核和GCC版本支持。
