Merge tag 'livepatching-for-6.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/livepatching/livepatching
Pull livepatching updates from Petr Mladek:
- Allow reloading a livepatched module by clearing livepatch-specific
relocations in the livepatch module.
Otherwise, the repeated load would fail on consistency checks.
* tag 'livepatching-for-6.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/livepatching/livepatching:
livepatch,x86: Clear relocation targets on a module removal
x86/module: remove unused code in __apply_relocate_add
Josh reported a bug:
When the object to be patched is a module, and that module is
rmmod'ed and reloaded, it fails to load with:
module: x86/modules: Skipping invalid relocation target, existing value is nonzero for type 2, loc 00000000ba0302e9, val ffffffffa03e293c
livepatch: failed to initialize patch 'livepatch_nfsd' for module 'nfsd' (-8)
livepatch: patch 'livepatch_nfsd' failed for module 'nfsd', refusing to load module 'nfsd'
The livepatch module has a relocation which references a symbol
in the _previous_ loading of nfsd. When apply_relocate_add()
tries to replace the old relocation with a new one, it sees that
the previous one is nonzero and it errors out.
He also proposed three different solutions. We could remove the error
check in apply_relocate_add() introduced by commit eda9cec4c9
("x86/module: Detect and skip invalid relocations"). However the check
is useful for detecting corrupted modules.
We could also deny the patched modules to be removed. If it proved to be
a major drawback for users, we could still implement a different
approach. The solution would also complicate the existing code a lot.
We thus decided to reverse the relocation patching (clear all relocation
targets on x86_64). The solution is not
universal and is too much arch-specific, but it may prove to be simpler
in the end.

Currently we traverse all symbols of all modules to find the specified
function for the specified module. But in reality, we just need to find
the given module and then traverse all the symbols in it.
Let's add a new parameter 'const char *modname' to function
module_kallsyms_on_each_symbol(), then we can compare the module names
directly in this function and call hook 'fn' after matching. If 'modname'
is NULL, the symbols of all modules are still traversed for compatibility
with other usage cases.
Phase1: mod1-->mod2..(subsequent modules do not need to be compared)
|
Phase2: -->f1-->f2-->f3
Assuming that there are m modules, each module has n symbols on average,
then the time complexity is reduced from O(m * n) to O(m) + O(n).

Tux gets for xmass improving the average lookup performance of
kallsyms_lookup_name() by 715x thanks to the work by Zhen Lei, which
upgraded our old implementation from being O(n) to O(log(n)), while also
retaining the old implementation support on /proc/kallsyms. The only
penalty was increasing the memory footprint by 3 * kallsyms_num_syms.
Folks who want to improve this further now also have a dedicated selftest
facility through KALLSYMS_SELFTEST. Since I had to start reviewing other
future kallsyms / modules enhancements by Nick Alcock (his stuff is not
merged, it requires more work) I carefully reviewed and merged Zhen Lei's
kallsyms changes through modules-next tree a bit less than a month ago.
So this has been exposed on linux-next for about a month now with no
reported regressions.
Stephen Boyd added zstd in-kernel decompression support, but the only
users of this would be folks using the load-pin LSM because otherwise
we do module docompression in userspace. This is the newest code and
was merged last week on modules-next.
We spent a lot of time analyzing and coming to grips with a proper
fix to an old modules regression which only recently came to light
(since v5.3-rc1, May 2019) but even though I merged that fix onto
modules-next last week I'm having second thoughts about it now as I was
writing about that fix in this git tag message for you, as I found a few
things we cannot quite justify there yet. So I'm going to push back to the
drawing board again there until all i's are properly dotted. Yes, it's a
regression but the issue has been there for 2 years now and it came up
because of high end CPU count, it can wait a *tiny* bit more for a proper
fix.
The only other thing with mentioning is a minor boot time optimization by
Rasmus Villemoes which deferes param_sysfs_init() to late init. The rest
is cleanups and minor fixes.

Rust symbols can become quite long due to namespacing introduced
by modules, types, traits, generics, etc. For instance,
the following code:
pub mod my_module {
pub struct MyType;
pub struct MyGenericType<T>(T);
pub trait MyTrait {
fn my_method() -> u32;
}
impl MyTrait for MyGenericType<MyType> {
fn my_method() -> u32 {
42
}
}
}
generates a symbol of length 96 when using the upcoming v0 mangling scheme:
_RNvXNtCshGpAVYOtgW1_7example9my_moduleINtB2_13MyGenericTypeNtB2_6MyTypeENtB2_7MyTrait9my_method
At the moment, Rust symbols may reach up to 300 in length.
Setting 512 as the maximum seems like a reasonable choice to
keep some headroom.

The KLP transition code depends on the TIF_PATCH_PENDING and
the task->patch_state to stay in sync. On a normal (forward)
transition, TIF_PATCH_PENDING will be set on every task in
the system, while on a reverse transition (after a failed
forward one) first TIF_PATCH_PENDING will be cleared from
every task, followed by it being set on tasks that need to
be transitioned back to the original code.
However, the fork code copies over the TIF_PATCH_PENDING flag
from the parent to the child early on, in dup_task_struct and
setup_thread_stack. Much later, klp_copy_process will set
child->patch_state to match that of the parent.
However, the parent's patch_state may have been changed by KLP loading
or unloading since it was initially copied over into the child.
This results in the KLP code occasionally hitting this warning in
klp_complete_transition:
for_each_process_thread(g, task) {
WARN_ON_ONCE(test_tsk_thread_flag(task, TIF_PATCH_PENDING));
task->patch_state = KLP_UNDEFINED;
}
Set, or clear, the TIF_PATCH_PENDING flag in the child task
depending on whether or not it is needed at the time
klp_copy_process is called, at a point in copy_process where the
tasklist_lock is held exclusively, preventing races with the KLP
code.
The KLP code does have a few places where the state is changed
without the tasklist_lock held, but those should not cause
problems because klp_update_patch_state(current) cannot be
called while the current task is in the middle of fork,
klp_check_and_switch_task() which is called under the pi_lock,
which prevents rescheduling, and manipulation of the patch
state of idle tasks, which do not fork.
This should prevent this warning from triggering again in the
future, and close the race for both normal and reverse transitions.

This set of changes removes tracehook.h, moves modification of all of
the ptrace fields inside of siglock to remove races, adds a missing
permission check to ptrace.c
The removal of tracehook.h is quite significant as it has been a major
source of confusion in recent years. Much of that confusion was
around task_work and TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL (which I have now decoupled
making the semantics clearer).
For people who don't know tracehook.h is a vestiage of an attempt to
implement uprobes like functionality that was never fully merged, and
was later superseeded by uprobes when uprobes was merged. For many
years now we have been removing what tracehook functionaly a little
bit at a time. To the point where now anything left in tracehook.h is
some weird strange thing that is difficult to understand.

Pull ptrace cleanups from Eric Biederman:
"This set of changes removes tracehook.h, moves modification of all of
the ptrace fields inside of siglock to remove races, adds a missing
permission check to ptrace.c
The removal of tracehook.h is quite significant as it has been a major
source of confusion in recent years. Much of that confusion was around
task_work and TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL (which I have now decoupled making the
semantics clearer).
For people who don't know tracehook.h is a vestiage of an attempt to
implement uprobes like functionality that was never fully merged, and
was later superseeded by uprobes when uprobes was merged. For many
years now we have been removing what tracehook functionaly a little
bit at a time. To the point where anything left in tracehook.h was
some weird strange thing that was difficult to understand"

module_put() is not called for a patch with "forced" flag. It should
block the removal of the livepatch module when the code might still
be in use after forced transition.
klp_force_transition() currently sets "forced" flag for all patches on
the list.
In fact, any patch can be safely unloaded when it passed through
the consistency model in KLP_UNPATCHED transition.
In other words, the "forced" flag must be set only for livepatches
that are being removed. In particular, set the "forced" flag:
+ only for klp_transition_patch when the transition to KLP_UNPATCHED
state was forced.
+ all replaced patches when the transition to KLP_PATCHED state was
forced and the patch was replacing the existing patches.

Pull livepatching updates from Petr Mladek:
- Correctly handle kobjects when a livepatch init fails
- Avoid CPU hogging when searching for many livepatched symbols
- Add livepatch API page into documentation
* tag 'livepatching-for-5.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/livepatching/livepatching:
livepatch: Avoid CPU hogging with cond_resched
livepatch: Fix missing unlock on error in klp_enable_patch()
livepatch: Fix kobject refcount bug on klp_init_patch_early failure path
Documentation: livepatch: Add livepatch API page
When enabling a klp patch with klp_enable_patch(), klp_init_patch_early()
is invoked to initialize the kobjects for the patch itself, as well as the
'struct klp_object' and 'struct klp_func' objects that comprise it.
However, there are some error paths in klp_enable_patch() where some
kobjects may have been initialized with kobject_init(), but an error code
is still returned due to e.g. a 'struct klp_object' having a NULL funcs
pointer.
In these paths, the initial reference of the kobject of the 'struct
klp_patch' may never be released, along with one or more of its objects and
their functions, as kobject_put() is not invoked on the cleanup path if
klp_init_patch_early() returns an error code.
For example, if an object entry such as the following were added to the
sample livepatch module's klp patch, it would cause the vmlinux klp_object,
and its klp_func which updates 'cmdline_proc_show', to never be released:
static struct klp_object objs[] = {
{
/* name being NULL means vmlinux */
.funcs = funcs,
},
{
/* NULL funcs -- would cause reference leak */
.name = "kvm",
}, { }
};
Without this change, if CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT is enabled, and the sample klp
patch is loaded, the kobjects (the patch, the vmlinux 'struct klp_object',
and its func) are observed as initialized, but never released, in the dmesg
log output. With the change, these kobject references no longer fail to be
released as the error case is properly handled before they are initialized.

The livepatch subsystem has several exported functions and objects with
kerneldoc comments. Though the livepatch documentation contains handwritten
descriptions of all of these exported functions, they are currently not
pulled into the docs build using the kernel-doc directive.
In order to allow readers of the documentation to see the full kerneldoc
comments in the generated documentation files, this change adds a new
Documentation/livepatch/api.rst page which contains kernel-doc directives
to link the kerneldoc comments directly in the documentation. With this,
all of the hand-written descriptions of the APIs now cross-reference the
kerneldoc comments on the new Livepatching APIs page, and running
./scripts/find-unused-docs.sh on kernel/livepatch no longer shows any files
as missing documentation.
Note that all of the handwritten API descriptions were left alone with the
exception of Documentation/livepatch/system-state.rst, which was updated to
allow the cross-referencing to work correctly. The file now follows the
cross-referencing formatting guidance specified in
Documentation/doc-guide/kernel-doc.rst. Furthermore, some comments around
klp_shadow_free_all() were updated to say <_, id> rather than <*, id> to
match the rest of the file, and to prevent the docs build from emitting an
"Inline emphasis start-string without end string" error.

As the documentation explained, ftrace_test_recursion_trylock()
and ftrace_test_recursion_unlock() were supposed to disable and
enable preemption properly, however currently this work is done
outside of the function, which could be missing by mistake.
And since the internal using of trace_test_and_set_recursion()
and trace_clear_recursion() also require preemption disabled, we
can just merge the logical.
This patch will make sure the preemption has been disabled when
trace_test_and_set_recursion() return bit >= 0, and

In preparation to have arguments of a function passed to callbacks attached

For callbacks that set the FL_SAVE_REGS flag in their ftrace_ops flags, they
will now need to get the pt_regs via a ftrace_get_regs() helper call. If
this is called by a callback that their ftrace_ops did not have a

This will allow the ftrace_regs to hold enough just to get the parameters

After the previous patch, vmlinux-specific KLP relocations are now
applied early during KLP module load. This means that .klp.arch
sections are no longer needed for *vmlinux-specific* KLP relocations.
One might think they're still needed for *module-specific* KLP
relocations. If a to-be-patched module is loaded *after* its
corresponding KLP module is loaded, any corresponding KLP relocations
will be delayed until the to-be-patched module is loaded. If any
special sections (.parainstructions, for example) rely on those
relocations, their initializations (apply_paravirt) need to be done
afterwards. Thus the apparent need for arch_klp_init_object_loaded()
and its corresponding .klp.arch sections -- it allows some of the
special section initializations to be done at a later time.
But... if you look closer, that dependency between the special sections
and the module-specific KLP relocations doesn't actually exist in
reality. Looking at the contents of the .altinstructions and
.parainstructions sections, there's not a realistic scenario in which a
KLP module's .altinstructions or .parainstructions section needs to
access a symbol in a to-be-patched module. It might need to access a
local symbol or even a vmlinux symbol; but not another module's symbol.
When a special section needs to reference a local or vmlinux symbol, a
normal rela can be used instead of a KLP rela.
Since the special section initializations don't actually have any real
dependency on module-specific KLP relocations, .klp.arch and
arch_klp_init_object_loaded() no longer have a reason to exist. So
remove them.
As Peter said much more succinctly:
So the reason for .klp.arch was that .klp.rela.* stuff would overwrite
paravirt instructions. If that happens you're doing it wrong. Those
RELAs are core kernel, not module, and thus should've happened in
.rela.* sections at patch-module loading time.
Reverting this removes the two apply_{paravirt,alternatives}() calls
from the late patching path, and means we don't have to worry about
them when removing module_disable_ro().

KLP relocations are livepatch-specific relocations which are applied to
a KLP module's text or data. They exist for two reasons:
1) Unexported symbols: replacement functions often need to access
unexported symbols (e.g. static functions), which "normal"
relocations don't allow.
2) Late module patching: this is the ability for a KLP module to
bypass normal module dependencies, such that the KLP module can be
loaded *before* a to-be-patched module. This means that
relocations which need to access symbols in the to-be-patched
module might need to be applied to the KLP module well after it has
been loaded.
Non-late-patched KLP relocations are applied from the KLP module's init
function. That usually works fine, unless the patched code wants to use
alternatives, paravirt patching, jump tables, or some other special
section which needs relocations. Then we run into ordering issues and
crashes.
In order for those special sections to work properly, the KLP
relocations should be applied *before* the special section init code
runs, such as apply_paravirt(), apply_alternatives(), or
jump_label_apply_nops().
You might think the obvious solution would be to move the KLP relocation
initialization earlier, but it's not necessarily that simple. The
problem is the above-mentioned late module patching, for which KLP
relocations can get applied well after the KLP module is loaded.
To "fix" this issue in the past, we created .klp.arch sections:
.klp.arch.{module}..altinstructions
.klp.arch.{module}..parainstructions
Those sections allow KLP late module patching code to call
apply_paravirt() and apply_alternatives() after the module-specific KLP
relocations (.klp.rela.{module}.{section}) have been applied.
But that has a lot of drawbacks, including code complexity, the need for
arch-specific code, and the (per-arch) danger that we missed some
special section -- for example the __jump_table section which is used
for jump labels.
It turns out there's a simpler and more functional approach. There are
two kinds of KLP relocation sections:
1) vmlinux-specific KLP relocation sections
.klp.rela.vmlinux.{sec}
These are relocations (applied to the KLP module) which reference
unexported vmlinux symbols.
2) module-specific KLP relocation sections
.klp.rela.{module}.{sec}:
These are relocations (applied to the KLP module) which reference
unexported or exported module symbols.
Up until now, these have been treated the same. However, they're
inherently different.
Because of late module patching, module-specific KLP relocations can be
applied very late, thus they can create the ordering headaches described
above.
But vmlinux-specific KLP relocations don't have that problem. There's
nothing to prevent them from being applied earlier. So apply them at
the same time as normal relocations, when the KLP module is being
loaded.
This means that for vmlinux-specific KLP relocations, we no longer have
any ordering issues. vmlinux-referencing jump labels, alternatives, and
paravirt patching will work automatically, without the need for the
.klp.arch hacks.
All that said, for module-specific KLP relocations, the ordering
problems still exist and we *do* still need .klp.arch. Or do we? Stay
tuned.
