Introduce CONFIG_STACKLEAK_METRICS providing STACKLEAK information about
tasks via the /proc file system. In particular, /proc/<pid>/lowest_stack
shows the current lowest_stack value and its final value from the previous
syscall. That information can be useful for estimating the STACKLEAK
performance impact for different workloads.

This just prints the hashed value with the new pointer leak work.
I don't think we want to print the fully exposed value via %px so
it's not clear how valuable this proc file is now.

Maybe print the size, not the location?

Hmmmmm, that starts to overlap with CONFIG_DEBUG_STACK_USAGE.
That's not a bad thing but it would be good to clarify what
this is tracking vs. CONFIG_DEBUG_STACK_USAGE.

Yes, I tested that before sending the patch. I was confused when I saw the
hashed values. But setting kptr_restrict to 1 fixed that for me:

root@hobbit:~# cat /proc/2627/lowest_stack
prev_lowest_stack: 00000000ed8ca991
lowest_stack: 0000000040579d76
root@hobbit:~# echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict
root@hobbit:~# cat /proc/2627/lowest_stack
prev_lowest_stack: ffffc9000094fdb8
lowest_stack: ffffc9000094f9e0

However, Documentation/printk-formats.txt and Documentation/sysctl/kernel.txt
don't specify that behaviour.

Best regards,
Alexander

thanks for pointing this out. Yes, %pK hashes the address now when
kptr_restrict==0

And yes, I forgot to update the docs :( will amend.

thanks,

Yes, I think I can print: THREAD_SIZE - (addr & (THREAD_SIZE - 1)).
I can call it "stack_depth", do you like it?

N.B. this value is not a really precise stack depth, because:
 - we don't instrument all kernel functions, so a lot of them don't update the
lowest_stack value;
 - prev_lowest_stack is a final point of the poison search in erase_kstack(), it
is not an actual stack depth.

Or should I dwell on the current version and rely on non-zero kptr_restrict?

Thanks, Laura, I didn't know about CONFIG_DEBUG_STACK_USAGE. After testing it I
think that it should remain independent, because:
 - it works on sysrq;
 - it dumps information about all tasks in the system at once;
 - it provides precise information (in contrast to my metrics).

In addition, I guess, modifying sysrq output format might break the workflow of
users, who parse it (but I'm not sure).

Best regards,
Alexander
