Peter Zijlstra 93c2e105f6 module: Optimize __module_address() using a latched RB-tree
Currently __module_address() is using a linear search through all
modules in order to find the module corresponding to the provided
address. With a lot of modules this can take a lot of time.

One of the users of this is kernel_text_address() which is employed
in many stack unwinders; which in turn are used by perf-callchain and
ftrace (possibly from NMI context).

So by optimizing __module_address() we optimize many stack unwinders
which are used by both perf and tracing in performance sensitive code.

Peter Zijlstra 0be964be0d module: Sanitize RCU usage and locking
Currently the RCU usage in module is an inconsistent mess of RCU and
RCU-sched, this is broken for CONFIG_PREEMPT where synchronize_rcu()
does not imply synchronize_sched().

Most usage sites use preempt_{dis,en}able() which is RCU-sched, but
(most of) the modification sites use synchronize_rcu(). With the
exception of the module bug list, which actually uses RCU.

Convert everything over to RCU-sched.

Furthermore add lockdep asserts to all sites, because it's not at all
clear to me the required locking is observed, esp. on exported
functions.

Luis R. Rodriguez f2411da746 driver-core: add driver module asynchronous probe support
Some init systems may wish to express the desire to have device drivers
run their probe() code asynchronously. This implements support for this
and allows userspace to request async probe as a preference through a
generic shared device driver module parameter, async_probe.

Implementation for async probe is supported through a module parameter
given that since synchronous probe has been prevalent for years some
userspace might exist which relies on the fact that the device driver
will probe synchronously and the assumption that devices it provides
will be immediately available after this.

Luis R. Rodriguez ecc8617053 module: add extra argument for parse_params() callback
This adds an extra argument onto parse_params() to be used
as a way to make the unused callback a bit more useful and
generic by allowing the caller to pass on a data structure

make module parameters for every module which we will do
next.

Steven Rostedt 37815bf866 module: Call module notifier on failure after complete_formation()
The module notifier call chain for MODULE_STATE_COMING was moved up before
the parsing of args, into the complete_formation() call. But if the module failed
to load after that, the notifier call chain for MODULE_STATE_GOING was
never called and that prevented the users of those call chains from
cleaning up anything that was allocated.

Linus Torvalds eeee78cf77 Some clean ups and small fixes, but the biggest change is the addition
of the TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() macro that can be used by tracepoints.
 
 Tracepoints have helper functions for the TP_printk() called
 __print_symbolic() and __print_flags() that lets a numeric number be
 displayed as a a human comprehensible text. What is placed in the
 TP_printk() is also shown in the tracepoint format file such that
 user space tools like perf and trace-cmd can parse the binary data
 and express the values too. Unfortunately, the way the TRACE_EVENT()
 macro works, anything placed in the TP_printk() will be shown pretty
 much exactly as is. The problem arises when enums are used. That's
 because unlike macros, enums will not be changed into their values
 by the C pre-processor. Thus, the enum string is exported to the
 format file, and this makes it useless for user space tools.
 
 The TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() solves this by converting the enum strings
 in the TP_printk() format into their number, and that is what is
 shown to user space. For example, the tracepoint tlb_flush currently
 has this in its format file:
 
      __print_symbolic(REC->reason,
         { TLB_FLUSH_ON_TASK_SWITCH, "flush on task switch" },
         { TLB_REMOTE_SHOOTDOWN, "remote shootdown" },
         { TLB_LOCAL_SHOOTDOWN, "local shootdown" },
         { TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN, "local mm shootdown" })
 
 After adding:
 
      TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_FLUSH_ON_TASK_SWITCH);

      TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN);
 
 Its format file will contain this:
 
      __print_symbolic(REC->reason,
         { 0, "flush on task switch" },
         { 1, "remote shootdown" },
         { 2, "local shootdown" },

Linus Torvalds 3afe9f8496 Copy the kernel module data from user space in chunks
Unlike most (all?) other copies from user space, kernel module loading
is almost unlimited in size.  So we do a potentially huge
"copy_from_user()" when we copy the module data from user space to the
kernel buffer, which can be a latency concern when preemption is
disabled (or voluntary).

Also, because 'copy_from_user()' clears the tail of the kernel buffer on
failures, even a *failed* copy can end up wasting a lot of time.

Normally neither of these are concerns in real life, but they do trigger
when doing stress-testing with trinity.  Running in a VM seems to add
its own overheadm causing trinity module load testing to even trigger
the watchdog.

The simple fix is to just chunk up the module loading, so that it never
tries to copy insanely big areas in one go.  That bounds the latency,
and also the amount of (unnecessarily, in this case) cleared memory for
the failure case.

Kirill A. Shutemov cc9e605dc6 module: do not print allocation-fail warning on bogus user buffer size
init_module(2) passes user-specified buffer length directly to
vmalloc(). It makes warn_alloc_failed() to print out a lot of info into
dmesg if user specified insane size, like -1.

Let's silence the warning. It doesn't add much value to -ENOMEM return
code. Without the patch the syscall is prohibitive noisy for testing
with trinity.

Peter Zijlstra 35a9393c95 lockdep: Fix the module unload key range freeing logic
Module unload calls lockdep_free_key_range(), which removes entries
from the data structures. Most of the lockdep code OTOH assumes the
data structures are append only; in specific see the comments in
add_lock_to_list() and look_up_lock_class().

Clearly this has only worked by accident; make it work proper. The
actual scenario to make it go boom would involve the memory freed by
the module unlock being re-allocated and re-used for a lock inside of
a rcu-sched grace period. This is a very unlikely scenario, still
better plug the hole.

Use RCU list iteration in all places and ammend the comments.

Change lockdep_free_key_range() to issue a sync_sched() between
removal from the lists and returning -- which results in the memory
being freed. Further ensure the callers are placed correctly and
comment the requirements.

Andrey Ryabinin a5af5aa8b6 kasan, module, vmalloc: rework shadow allocation for modules
Current approach in handling shadow memory for modules is broken.

Shadow memory could be freed only after memory shadow corresponds it is no
longer used.  vfree() called from interrupt context could use memory its
freeing to store 'struct llist_node' in it:

    void vfree(const void *addr)
    {
    ...
        if (unlikely(in_interrupt())) {
            struct vfree_deferred *p = this_cpu_ptr(&vfree_deferred);
            if (llist_add((struct llist_node *)addr, &p->list))
                    schedule_work(&p->wq);

Later this list node used in free_work() which actually frees memory.
Currently module_memfree() called in interrupt context will free shadow
before freeing module's memory which could provoke kernel crash.

So shadow memory should be freed after module's memory.  However, such
deallocation order could race with kasan_module_alloc() in module_alloc().

Free shadow right before releasing vm area.  At this point vfree()'d
memory is not used anymore and yet not available for other allocations.
New VM_KASAN flag used to indicate that vm area has dynamically allocated
shadow memory so kasan frees shadow only if it was previously allocated.

Andrey Ryabinin bebf56a1b1 kasan: enable instrumentation of global variables
This feature let us to detect accesses out of bounds of global variables.
This will work as for globals in kernel image, so for globals in modules.
Currently this won't work for symbols in user-specified sections (e.g.
__init, __read_mostly, ...)

The idea of this is simple.  Compiler increases each global variable by
redzone size and add constructors invoking __asan_register_globals()
function.  Information about global variable (address, size, size with
redzone ...) passed to __asan_register_globals() so we could poison
variable's redzone.

This patch also forces module_alloc() to return 8*PAGE_SIZE aligned
address making shadow memory handling (
kasan_module_alloc()/kasan_module_free() ) more simple.  Such alignment
guarantees that each shadow page backing modules address space correspond
to only one module_alloc() allocation.

Peter Zijlstra 9cc019b8c9 module: Replace over-engineered nested sleep
Since the introduction of the nested sleep warning; we've established
that the occasional sleep inside a wait_event() is fine.

wait_event() loops are invariant wrt. spurious wakeups, and the
occasional sleep has a similar effect on them. As long as its occasional
its harmless.

Therefore replace the 'correct' but verbose wait_woken() thing with

Rusty Russell c749637909 module: fix race in kallsyms resolution during module load success.
The kallsyms routines (module_symbol_name, lookup_module_* etc) disable
preemption to walk the modules rather than taking the module_mutex:
this is because they are used for symbol resolution during oopses.

This works because there are synchronize_sched() and synchronize_rcu()
in the unload and failure paths.  However, there's one case which doesn't
have that: the normal case where module loading succeeds, and we free
the init section.

We don't want a synchronize_rcu() there, because it would slow down
module loading: this bug was introduced in 2009 to speed module
loading in the first place.

Thus, we want to do the free in an RCU callback.  We do this in the
simplest possible way by allocating a new rcu_head: if we put it in
the module structure we'd have to worry about that getting freed.

Rusty Russell d453cded05 module_arch_freeing_init(): new hook for archs before module->module_init freed.
Archs have been abusing module_free() to clean up their arch-specific
allocations.  Since module_free() is also (ab)used by BPF and trace code,
let's keep it to simple allocations, and provide a hook called before
that.

This means that avr32, ia64, parisc and s390 no longer need to implement
their own module_free() at all.  avr32 doesn't need module_finalize()
either.

Masami Hiramatsu e513cc1c07 module: Remove stop_machine from module unloading
Remove stop_machine from module unloading by adding new reference
counting algorithm.

This atomic refcounter works like a semaphore, it can get (be
incremented) only when the counter is not 0. When loading a module,
kmodule subsystem sets the counter MODULE_REF_BASE (= 1). And when
unloading the module, it subtracts MODULE_REF_BASE from the counter.
If no one refers the module, the refcounter becomes 0 and we can
remove the module safely. If someone referes it, we try to recover
the counter by adding MODULE_REF_BASE unless the counter becomes 0,
because the referrer can put the module right before recovering.
If the recovering is failed, we can get the 0 refcount and it
never be incremented again, it can be removed safely too.

Note that __module_get() forcibly gets the module refcounter,
users should use try_module_get() instead of that.

 RIP  [<ffffffff810d64c5>] module_flags+0xb5/0xc0
  RSP <ffff88080fa7fe18>

    Consider the two processes running on the system.

    CPU 0 (/proc/modules reader)
    CPU 1 (loading/unloading module)

    CPU 0 opens /proc/modules, and starts displaying data for each module by
    traversing the modules list via fs/seq_file.c:seq_open() and
    fs/seq_file.c:seq_read().  For each module in the modules list, seq_read
    does

            op->start()  <-- this is a pointer to m_start()
            op->show()   <- this is a pointer to m_show()
            op->stop()   <-- this is a pointer to m_stop()

    The m_start(), m_show(), and m_stop() module functions are defined in
    kernel/module.c. The m_start() and m_stop() functions acquire and release
    the module_mutex respectively.

    ie) When reading /proc/modules, the module_mutex is acquired and released
    for each module.

    m_show() is called with the module_mutex held.  It accesses the module
    struct data and attempts to write out module data.  It is in this code
    path that the above BUG_ON() warning is encountered, specifically m_show()
    calls

    static char *module_flags(struct module *mod, char *buf)
    {
            int bx = 0;

            BUG_ON(mod->state == MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED);
    ...

    The other thread, CPU 1, in unloading the module calls the syscall
    delete_module() defined in kernel/module.c.  The module_mutex is acquired
    for a short time, and then released.  free_module() is called without the
    module_mutex.  free_module() then sets mod->state = MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED,
    also without the module_mutex.  Some additional code is called and then the
    module_mutex is reacquired to remove the module from the modules list:

        /* Now we can delete it from the lists */
        mutex_lock(&module_mutex);
        stop_machine(__unlink_module, mod, NULL);
        mutex_unlock(&module_mutex);

This is the sequence of events that leads to the panic.

CPU 1 is removing dummy_module via delete_module().  It acquires the
module_mutex, and then releases it.  CPU 1 has NOT set dummy_module->state to
MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED yet.

CPU 0, which is reading the /proc/modules, acquires the module_mutex and
acquires a pointer to the dummy_module which is still in the modules list.
CPU 0 calls m_show for dummy_module.  The check in m_show() for
MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED passed for dummy_module even though it is being
torn down.

Meanwhile CPU 1, which has been continuing to remove dummy_module without
holding the module_mutex, now calls free_module() and sets
dummy_module->state to MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED.

CPU 0 now calls module_flags() with dummy_module and ...

static char *module_flags(struct module *mod, char *buf)
{
        int bx = 0;

        BUG_ON(mod->state == MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED);

and BOOM.

Acquire and release the module_mutex lock around the setting of
MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED in the teardown path, which should resolve the
problem.

Testing: In the unpatched kernel I can panic the system within 1 minute by
doing

while (true) do insmod dummy_module.ko; rmmod dummy_module.ko; done

and

while (true) do cat /proc/modules; done

in separate terminals.

In the patched kernel I was able to run just over one hour without seeing
any issues.  I also verified the output of panic via sysrq-c and the output
of /proc/modules looks correct for all three states for the dummy_module.

        dummy_module 12661 0 - Unloading 0xffffffffa03a5000 (OE-)
        dummy_module 12661 0 - Live 0xffffffffa03bb000 (OE)
        dummy_module 14015 1 - Loading 0xffffffffa03a5000 (OE+)

Kyle McMartin 6c34f1f542 aarch64: filter $x from kallsyms
Similar to ARM, AArch64 is generating $x and $d syms... which isn't
terribly helpful when looking at %pF output and the like. Filter those
out in kallsyms, modpost and when looking at module symbols.

Seems simplest since none of these check EM_ARM anyway, to just add it
to the strchr used, rather than trying to make things overly
complicated.

initcall_debug improves:
dmesg_before.txt: initcall $x+0x0/0x154 [sg] returned 0 after 26331 usecs

The commit

    4982223e51 module: set nx before marking module MODULE_STATE_COMING.

introduced a regression: if a module fails to parse its arguments or
if mod_sysfs_setup fails, then the module's memory will be freed
while still read-only.  Anything that reuses that memory will crash
as soon as it tries to write to it.

Russell King 2e3a10a155 ARM: avoid ARM binutils leaking ELF local symbols
Symbols starting with .L are ELF local symbols and should not appear
in ELF symbol tables.  However, unfortunately ARM binutils leaks the
.LANCHOR symbols into the symbol table, which leads kallsyms to report
these symbols rather than the real name.  It is not very useful when
%pf reports symbols against these leaked .LANCHOR symbols.

Arrange for kallsyms to ignore these symbols using the same mechanism
that is used for the ARM mapping symbols.

Jarod Wilson 002c77a48b crypto: fips - only panic on bad/missing crypto mod signatures
Per further discussion with NIST, the requirements for FIPS state that
we only need to panic the system on failed kernel module signature checks
for crypto subsystem modules. This moves the fips-mode-only module
signature check out of the generic module loading code, into the crypto
subsystem, at points where we can catch both algorithm module loads and
mode module loads. At the same time, make CONFIG_CRYPTO_FIPS dependent on
CONFIG_MODULE_SIG, as this is entirely necessary for FIPS mode.

v2: remove extraneous blank line, perform checks in static inline
function, drop no longer necessary fips.h include.

Rusty Russell 4982223e51 module: set nx before marking module MODULE_STATE_COMING.
We currently set RO & NX on modules very late: after we move them from
MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED to MODULE_STATE_COMING, and after we call
parse_args() (which can exec code in the module).

Much better is to do it in complete_formation() and then call
the notifier.

This means that the notifiers will be called on a module which
is already RO & NX, so that may cause problems (ftrace already
changed so they're unaffected).

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) a949ae560a ftrace/module: Hardcode ftrace_module_init() call into load_module()
A race exists between module loading and enabling of function tracer.

	CPU 1				CPU 2
	-----				-----
  load_module()
   module->state = MODULE_STATE_COMING

				register_ftrace_function()
				 mutex_lock(&ftrace_lock);
				 ftrace_startup()
				  update_ftrace_function();
				   ftrace_arch_code_modify_prepare()
				    set_all_module_text_rw();
				   <enables-ftrace>
				    ftrace_arch_code_modify_post_process()
				     set_all_module_text_ro();

				[ here all module text is set to RO,
				  including the module that is
				  loading!! ]

   blocking_notifier_call_chain(MODULE_STATE_COMING);
    ftrace_init_module()

     [ tries to modify code, but it's RO, and fails!
       ftrace_bug() is called]

When this race happens, ftrace_bug() will produces a nasty warning and
all of the function tracing features will be disabled until reboot.

The simple solution is to treate module load the same way the core
kernel is treated at boot. To hardcode the ftrace function modification
of converting calls to mcount into nops. This is done in init/main.c
there's no reason it could not be done in load_module(). This gives
a better control of the changes and doesn't tie the state of the
module to its notifiers as much. Ftrace is special, it needs to be
treated as such.

The reason this would work, is that the ftrace_module_init() would be
called while the module is in MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED, which is ignored
by the set_all_module_text_ro() call.

Rusty Russell 51e158c12a param: hand arguments after -- straight to init
The kernel passes any args it doesn't need through to init, except it
assumes anything containing '.' belongs to the kernel (for a module).
This change means all users can clearly distinguish which arguments
are for init.

For example, the kernel uses debug ("dee-bug") to mean log everything to
the console, where systemd uses the debug from the Scandinavian "day-boog"
meaning "fail to boot".  If a future versions uses argv[] instead of
reading /proc/cmdline, this confusion will be avoided.

eg: test 'FOO="this is --foo"' -- 'systemd.debug="true true true"'

Gives:
argv[0] = '/debug-init'
argv[1] = 'test'
argv[2] = 'systemd.debug=true true true'
envp[0] = 'HOME=/'
envp[1] = 'TERM=linux'
envp[2] = 'FOO=this is --foo'

Rusty Russell 79465d2fd4 module: remove warning about waiting module removal.
We remove the waiting module removal in commit 3f2b9c9cdf (September
2013), but it turns out that modprobe in kmod (< version 16) was
asking for waiting module removal.  No one noticed since modprobe would
check for 0 usage immediately before trying to remove the module, and
the race is unlikely.

However, it means that anyone running old (but not ancient) kmod
versions is hitting the printk designed to see if anyone was running
"rmmod -w".  All reports so far have been false positives, so remove
the warning.

Mathieu Desnoyers 66cc69e34e Fix: module signature vs tracepoints: add new TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE
Users have reported being unable to trace non-signed modules loaded
within a kernel supporting module signature.

This is caused by tracepoint.c:tracepoint_module_coming() refusing to
take into account tracepoints sitting within force-loaded modules
(TAINT_FORCED_MODULE). The reason for this check, in the first place, is
that a force-loaded module may have a struct module incompatible with
the layout expected by the kernel, and can thus cause a kernel crash
upon forced load of that module on a kernel with CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS=y.

Tracepoints, however, specifically accept TAINT_OOT_MODULE and
TAINT_CRAP, since those modules do not lead to the "very likely system
crash" issue cited above for force-loaded modules.

With kernels having CONFIG_MODULE_SIG=y (signed modules), a non-signed
module is tainted re-using the TAINT_FORCED_MODULE taint flag.
Unfortunately, this means that Tracepoints treat that module as a
force-loaded module, and thus silently refuse to consider any tracepoint
within this module.

Since an unsigned module does not fit within the "very likely system
crash" category of tainting, add a new TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE taint flag
to specifically address this taint behavior, and accept those modules
within Tracepoints. We use the letter 'X' as a taint flag character for
a module being loaded that doesn't know how to sign its name (proposed
by Steven Rostedt).

Also add the missing 'O' entry to trace event show_module_flags() list
for the sake of completeness.

Li Zhong 942e443127 module: Fix mod->mkobj.kobj potentially freed too early
DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE helps to find the issue attached below.

After some investigation, it seems the reason is:
The mod->mkobj.kobj(ffffffffa01600d0 below) is freed together with mod
itself in free_module(). However, its children still hold references to
it, as the delay caused by DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE. So when the
child(holders below) tries to decrease the reference count to its parent
in kobject_del(), BUG happens as it tries to access already freed memory.

This patch tries to fix it by waiting for the mod->mkobj.kobj to be
really released in the module removing process (and some error code
paths).

Chen Gang cc56ded3fd kernel/module.c: use scnprintf() instead of sprintf()
For some strings, they are permitted to be larger than PAGE_SIZE, so
need use scnprintf() instead of sprintf(), or it will cause issue.

One case is:

  if a module version is crazy defined (length more than PAGE_SIZE),
  'modinfo' command is still OK (print full contents),
  but for "cat /sys/modules/'modname'/version", will cause issue in kernel.

v3.8-rc1-5-g1fb9341 was supposed to stop parallel kvm loads exhausting

Although parameters are supposed to be part of the kernel API, experimental
parameters are often removed.  In addition, downgrading a kernel might cause
previously-working modules to fail to load.

On balance, it's probably better to warn, and load the module anyway.
This may let through a typo, but at least the logs will show it.

James Hogan a4b6a77b77 module: fix symbol versioning with symbol prefixes
Fix symbol versioning on architectures with symbol prefixes. Although
the build was free from warnings the actual modules still wouldn't load
as the ____versions table contained unprefixed symbol names, which were
being compared against the prefixed symbol names when checking the
symbol versions.

This is fixed by modifying modpost to add the symbol prefix to the
____versions table it outputs (Modules.symvers still contains unprefixed
symbol names). The check_modstruct_version() function is also fixed as
it checks the version of the unprefixed "module_layout" symbol which
would no longer work.

Rusty Russell b92021b09d CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX: cleanup.
We have CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX, which three archs define to the string
"_".  But Al Viro broke this in "consolidate cond_syscall and
SYSCALL_ALIAS declarations" (in linux-next), and he's not the first to
do so.

Using CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is awkward, since we usually just want to
prefix it so something.  So various places define helpers which are
defined to nothing if CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX isn't set:

1) include/asm-generic/unistd.h defines __SYMBOL_PREFIX.
2) include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h defines VMLINUX_SYMBOL(sym)
3) include/linux/export.h defines MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX.
4) include/linux/kernel.h defines SYMBOL_PREFIX (which differs from #7)
5) kernel/modsign_certificate.S defines ASM_SYMBOL(sym)
6) scripts/modpost.c defines MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX
7) scripts/Makefile.lib defines SYMBOL_PREFIX on the commandline if
   CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is set, so that we have a non-string version
   for pasting.

(arch/h8300/include/asm/linkage.h defines SYMBOL_NAME(), too).

Let's solve this properly:
1) No more generic prefix, just CONFIG_HAVE_UNDERSCORE_SYMBOL_PREFIX.
2) Make linux/export.h usable from asm.
3) Define VMLINUX_SYMBOL() and VMLINUX_SYMBOL_STR().
4) Make everyone use them.

Tejun Heo 774a1221e8 module, async: async_synchronize_full() on module init iff async is used
If the default iosched is built as module, the kernel may deadlock
while trying to load the iosched module on device probe if the probing
was running off async.  This is because async_synchronize_full() at
the end of module init ends up waiting for the async job which
initiated the module loading.

 async A				modprobe

 1. finds a device
 2. registers the block device
 3. request_module(default iosched)
					4. modprobe in userland
					5. load and init module
					6. async_synchronize_full()

Async A waits for modprobe to finish in request_module() and modprobe
waits for async A to finish in async_synchronize_full().

Because there's no easy to track dependency once control goes out to
userland, implementing properly nested flushing is difficult.  For
now, make module init perform async_synchronize_full() iff module init
has queued async jobs as suggested by Linus.

This avoids the described deadlock because iosched module doesn't use
async and thus wouldn't invoke async_synchronize_full().  This is
hacky and incomplete.  It will deadlock if async module loading nests;
however, this works around the known problem case and seems to be the
best of bad options.

For more details, please refer to the following thread.

Since modules have to be bigger than 0 bytes anyways we can just

In commit d0a21265df David Rientjes unified various archs'
module_alloc implementation (including x86) and removed the graduitous
shortcut for size == 0.

Then, in commit de7d2b567d, Joe Perches added a warning for
zero-length vmallocs, which can happen without kallsyms on modules
with no init sections (eg. zlib_deflate).

Fix this once and for all; the module code has to handle zero length
anyway, so get it right at the caller and remove the now-gratuitous
checks within the arch-specific module_alloc implementations.

Kees Cook 34e1169d99 module: add syscall to load module from fd
As part of the effort to create a stronger boundary between root and
kernel, Chrome OS wants to be able to enforce that kernel modules are
being loaded only from our read-only crypto-hash verified (dm_verity)
root filesystem. Since the init_module syscall hands the kernel a module
as a memory blob, no reasoning about the origin of the blob can be made.

Earlier proposals for appending signatures to kernel modules would not be
useful in Chrome OS, since it would involve adding an additional set of
keys to our kernel and builds for no good reason: we already trust the
contents of our root filesystem. We don't need to verify those kernel
modules a second time. Having to do signature checking on module loading
would slow us down and be redundant. All we need to know is where a
module is coming from so we can say yes/no to loading it.

If a file descriptor is used as the source of a kernel module, many more
things can be reasoned about. In Chrome OS's case, we could enforce that
the module lives on the filesystem we expect it to live on.  In the case
of IMA (or other LSMs), it would be possible, for example, to examine
extended attributes that may contain signatures over the contents of
the module.

This introduces a new syscall (on x86), similar to init_module, that has
only two arguments. The first argument is used as a file descriptor to
the module and the second argument is a pointer to the NULL terminated
string of module arguments.

Rusty Russell 59ef28b1f1 module: fix out-by-one error in kallsyms
Masaki found and patched a kallsyms issue: the last symbol in a
module's symtab wasn't transferred.  This is because we manually copy
the zero'th entry (which is always empty) then copy the rest in a loop
starting at 1, though from src[0].  His fix was minimal, I prefer to
rewrite the loops in more standard form.

There are two loops: one to get the size, and one to copy.  Make these
identical: always count entry 0 and any defined symbol in an allocated
non-init section.

This bug exists since the following commit was introduced.

David Howells caabe24057 MODSIGN: Move the magic string to the end of a module and eliminate the search
Emit the magic string that indicates a module has a signature after the
signature data instead of before it.  This allows module_sig_check() to
be made simpler and faster by the elimination of the search for the
magic string.  Instead we just need to do a single memcmp().

This works because at the end of the signature data there is the
fixed-length signature information block.  This block then falls
immediately prior to the magic number.

From the contents of the information block, it is trivial to calculate
the size of the signature data and thus the size of the actual module
data.

We do a very simple search for a particular string appended to the module
(which is cache-hot and about to be SHA'd anyway).  There's both a config
option and a boot parameter which control whether we accept or fail with
unsigned modules and modules that are signed with an unknown key.

If module signing is enabled, the kernel will be tainted if a module is
loaded that is unsigned or has a signature for which we don't have the
key.

Rusty Russell 9bb9c3be56 module: wait when loading a module which is currently initializing.
The original module-init-tools module loader used a fnctl lock on the
.ko file to avoid attempts to simultaneously load a module.
Unfortunately, you can't get an exclusive fcntl lock on a read-only
fd, making this not work for read-only mounted filesystems.
module-init-tools has a hacky sleep-and-loop for this now.

It's not that hard to wait in the kernel, and only return -EEXIST once
the first module has finished loading (or continue loading the module
if the first one failed to initialize for some reason).  It's also
consistent with what we do for dependent modules which are still loading.

Rusty Russell 6f13909f4f module: fix symbol waiting when module fails before init
We use resolve_symbol_wait(), which blocks if the module containing
the symbol is still loading.  However:

1) The module_wq we use is only woken after calling the modules' init
   function, but there are other failure paths after the module is
   placed in the linked list where we need to do the same thing.

2) wake_up() only wakes one waiter, and our waitqueue is shared by all
   modules, so we need to wake them all.

3) wake_up_all() doesn't imply a memory barrier: I feel happier calling
   it after we've grabbed and dropped the module_mutex, not just after
   the state assignment.

David Howells 786d35d45c Make most arch asm/module.h files use asm-generic/module.h
Use the mapping of Elf_[SPE]hdr, Elf_Addr, Elf_Sym, Elf_Dyn, Elf_Rel/Rela,
ELF_R_TYPE() and ELF_R_SYM() to either the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version
into asm-generic/module.h for all arches bar MIPS.

Also, use the generic definition mod_arch_specific where possible.

To this end, I've defined three new config bools:

 (*) HAVE_MOD_ARCH_SPECIFIC

     Arches define this if they don't want to use the empty generic
     mod_arch_specific struct.

 (*) MODULES_USE_ELF_RELA

     Arches define this if their modules can contain RELA records.  This causes
     the Elf_Rela mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate_add() to be
     defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message.

 (*) MODULES_USE_ELF_REL

     Arches define this if their modules can contain REL records.  This causes
     the Elf_Rel mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate() to be
     defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message.

Note that it is possible to allow both REL and RELA records: m68k and mips are
two arches that do this.

With this, some arch asm/module.h files can be deleted entirely and replaced
with a generic-y marker in the arch Kbuild file.

Additionally, I have removed the bits from m32r and score that handle the
unsupported type of relocation record as that's now handled centrally.

Jim Cromie b48420c1d3 dynamic_debug: make dynamic-debug work for module initialization
This introduces a fake module param $module.dyndbg.  Its based upon
Thomas Renninger's $module.ddebug boot-time debugging patch from
https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/9/15/397

The 'fake' module parameter is provided for all modules, whether or
not they need it.  It is not explicitly added to each module, but is
implemented in callbacks invoked from parse_args.

For builtin modules, dynamic_debug_init() now directly calls
parse_args(..., &ddebug_dyndbg_boot_params_cb), to process the params
undeclared in the modules, just after the ddebug tables are processed.

While its slightly weird to reprocess the boot params, parse_args() is
already called repeatedly by do_initcall_levels().  More importantly,
the dyndbg queries (given in ddebug_query or dyndbg params) cannot be
activated until after the ddebug tables are ready, and reusing
parse_args is cleaner than doing an ad-hoc parse.  This reparse would
break options like inc_verbosity, but they probably should be params,
like verbosity=3.

ddebug_dyndbg_boot_params_cb() handles both bare dyndbg (aka:
ddebug_query) and module-prefixed dyndbg params, and ignores all other
parameters.  For example, the following will enable pr_debug()s in 4
builtin modules, in the order given:

  dyndbg="module params +p; module aio +p" module.dyndbg=+p pci.dyndbg

For loadable modules, parse_args() in load_module() calls
ddebug_dyndbg_module_params_cb().  This handles bare dyndbg params as
passed from modprobe, and errors on other unknown params.

Note that modprobe reads /proc/cmdline, so "modprobe foo" grabs all
foo.params, strips the "foo.", and passes these to the kernel.
ddebug_dyndbg_module_params_cb() is again called for the unknown
params; it handles dyndbg, and errors on others.  The "doing" arg
added previously contains the module name.

For non CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG builds, the stub function accepts
and ignores $module.dyndbg params, other unknowns get -ENOENT.

If no param value is given (as in pci.dyndbg example above), "+p" is
assumed, which enables all pr_debug callsites in the module.

The dyndbg fake parameter is not shown in /sys/module/*/parameters,
thus it does not use any resources.  Changes to it are made via the
control file.

Also change pr_info in ddebug_exec_queries to vpr_info,
no need to see it all the time.

module_ref contains two "unsigned int" fields.

Thats now too small, since some machines can open more than 2^32 files.

Check commit 518de9b39e (fs: allow for more than 2^31 files) for

We can add an aligned(2 * sizeof(unsigned long)) attribute to force

Kevin Cernekee 48fd11880b module: Fix performance regression on modules with large symbol tables
Looking at /proc/kallsyms, one starts to ponder whether all of the extra
strtab-related complexity in module.c is worth the memory savings.

Instead of making the add_kallsyms() loop even more complex, I tried the
other route of deleting the strmap logic and naively copying each string
into core_strtab with no consideration for consolidating duplicates.

Performance on an "already exists" insmod of nvidia.ko (runs
add_kallsyms() but does not actually initialize the module):

	Original scheme: 1.230s
	With naive copying: 0.058s

Extra space used: 35k (of a 408k module).

Ben Hutchings 1cd0d6c302 module: Enable dynamic debugging regardless of taint
Dynamic debugging is currently disabled for tainted modules, except
for TAINT_CRAP.  This prevents use of dynamic debugging for
out-of-tree modules once the next patch is applied.

This condition was apparently intended to avoid a crash if a force-
loaded module has an incompatible definition of dynamic debug
structures.  However, a administrator that forces us to load a module
is claiming that it *is* compatible even though it fails our version
checks.  If they are mistaken, there are any number of ways the module
could crash the system.

As a side-effect, proprietary and other tainted modules can now use
dynamic_debug.

Mathieu Desnoyers b75ef8b44b Tracepoint: Dissociate from module mutex
Copy the information needed from struct module into a local module list
held within tracepoint.c from within the module coming/going notifier.

This vastly simplifies locking of tracepoint registration /
unregistration, because we don't have to take the module mutex to
register and unregister tracepoints anymore. Steven Rostedt ran into
dependency problems related to modules mutex vs kprobes mutex vs ftrace
mutex vs tracepoint mutex that seems to be hard to fix without removing
this dependency between tracepoint and module mutex. (note: it should be
investigated whether kprobes could benefit of being dissociated from the
modules mutex too.)

This also fixes module handling of tracepoint list iterators, because it
was expecting the list to be sorted by pointer address. Given we have
control on our own list now, it's OK to sort this list which has
tracepoints as its only purpose. The reason why this sorting is required
is to handle the fact that seq files (and any read() operation from
user-space) cannot hold the tracepoint mutex across multiple calls, so
list entries may vanish between calls. With sorting, the tracepoint
iterator becomes usable even if the list don't contain the exact item
pointed to by the iterator anymore.

Jan Glauber 448694a1d5 module: undo module RONX protection correctly.
While debugging I stumbled over two problems in the code that protects module
pages.

First issue is that disabling the protection before freeing init or unload of
a module is not symmetric with the enablement. For instance, if pages are set
to RO the page range from module_core to module_core + core_ro_size is
protected. If a module is unloaded the page range from module_core to
module_core + core_size is set back to RW.
So pages that were not set to RO are also changed to RW.
This is not critical but IMHO it should be symmetric.

Second issue is that while set_memory_rw & set_memory_ro are used for
RO/RW changes only set_memory_nx is involved for NX/X. One would await that
the inverse function is called when the NX protection should be removed,
which is not the case here, unless I'm missing something.

Kees Cook 9f36e2c448 printk: use %pK for /proc/kallsyms and /proc/modules
In an effort to reduce kernel address leaks that might be used to help
target kernel privilege escalation exploits, this patch uses %pK when
displaying addresses in /proc/kallsyms, /proc/modules, and
/sys/module/*/sections/*.

Note that this changes %x to %p, so some legitimately 0 values in
/proc/kallsyms would have changed from 00000000 to "(null)".  To avoid
this, "(null)" is not used when using the "K" format.  Anything that was
already successfully parsing "(null)" in addition to full hex digits
should have no problem with this change.  (Thanks to Joe Perches for the
suggestion.) Due to the %x to %p, "void *" casts are needed since these
addresses are already "unsigned long" everywhere internally, due to their
starting life as ELF section offsets.

Mathieu Desnoyers 6549864629 tracepoints: Fix section alignment using pointer array
Make the tracepoints more robust, making them solid enough to handle compiler
changes by not relying on anything based on compiler-specific behavior with
respect to structure alignment. Implement an approach proposed by David Miller:
use an array of const pointers to refer to the individual structures, and export
this pointer array through the linker script rather than the structures per se.
It will consume 32 extra bytes per tracepoint (24 for structure padding and 8
for the pointers), but are less likely to break due to compiler changes.

History:

commit 7e066fb8 tracepoints: add DECLARE_TRACE() and DEFINE_TRACE()
added the aligned(32) type and variable attribute to the tracepoint structures
to deal with gcc happily aligning statically defined structures on 32-byte
multiples.

One attempt was to use a 8-byte alignment for tracepoint structures by applying
both the variable and type attribute to tracepoint structures definitions and
declarations. It worked fine with gcc 4.5.1, but broke with gcc 4.4.4 and 4.4.5.

The reason is that the "aligned" attribute only specify the _minimum_ alignment
for a structure, leaving both the compiler and the linker free to align on
larger multiples. Because tracepoint.c expects the structures to be placed as an
array within each section, up-alignment cause NULL-pointer exceptions due to the
extra unexpected padding.

ftrace faulted on writing [<ffffffffa00026db>]
__process_new_adapter+0x7/0x34 [i2c_core]

The cause was that the module text was set to read only before ftrace
could convert the calls to mcount to nops. Thus, the conversions failed
due to not being able to write to the text locations.

The simple fix is to move setting the module to read only after the
module notifiers are called (where ftrace sets the module mcounts to nops).

matthieu castet 84e1c6bb38 x86: Add RO/NX protection for loadable kernel modules
This patch is a logical extension of the protection provided by
CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA to LKMs. The protection is provided by
splitting module_core and module_init into three logical parts
each and setting appropriate page access permissions for each
individual section:

 1. Code: RO+X
 2. RO data: RO+NX
 3. RW data: RW+NX

In order to achieve proper protection, layout_sections() have
been modified to align each of the three parts mentioned above
onto page boundary. Next, the corresponding page access
permissions are set right before successful exit from
load_module(). Further, free_module() and sys_init_module have
been modified to set module_core and module_init as RW+NX right
before calling module_free().

By default, the original section layout and access flags are
preserved. When compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX=y,
the patch will page-align each group of sections to ensure that
each page contains only one type of content and will enforce
RO/NX for each group of pages.

  -v1: Initial proof-of-concept patch.
  -v2: The patch have been re-written to reduce the number of #ifdefs
       and to make it architecture-agnostic. Code formatting has also
       been corrected.
  -v3: Opportunistic RO/NX protection is now unconditional. Section
       page-alignment is enabled when CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA=y.
  -v4: Removed most macros and improved coding style.
  -v5: Changed page-alignment and RO/NX section size calculation
  -v6: Fixed comments. Restricted RO/NX enforcement to x86 only
  -v7: Introduced CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX, added
       calls to set_all_modules_text_rw() and set_all_modules_text_ro()
       in ftrace

just the format and args are stored in the trace instead of running
it through a sprintf function. In order to do this, the format used
by the __trace_bprintk() had to be persistent.

See commit 1ba28e02a1

The problem comes with trace_bprintk() where the module is unloaded.
The pointer left in the buffer is still pointing to the format.

To solve this issue, the formats in the module were copied into kernel
core. If the same format was used, they would use the same copy (to prevent
memory leak). This all worked well until we tried to merge everything.

At the time this was written, Lai Jiangshan, Frederic Weisbecker,
Ingo Molnar and myself were all touching the same code. When this was
merged, we lost the part of it that was in module.c. This kept out the
copying of the formats and unloading the module could cause bad pointers
left in the ring buffer.

This patch adds back (with updates required for current kernel) the
module code that sets up the necessary pointers.

Linus Torvalds 5336377d62 modules: Fix module_bug_list list corruption race
With all the recent module loading cleanups, we've minimized the code
that sits under module_mutex, fixing various deadlocks and making it
possible to do most of the module loading in parallel.

However, that whole conversion totally missed the rather obscure code
that adds a new module to the list for BUG() handling.  That code was
doubly obscure because (a) the code itself lives in lib/bugs.c (for
dubious reasons) and (b) it gets called from the architecture-specific
"module_finalize()" rather than from generic code.

Calling it from arch-specific code makes no sense what-so-ever to begin
with, and is now actively wrong since that code isn't protected by the
module loading lock any more.

So this commit moves the "module_bug_{finalize,cleanup}()" calls away
from the arch-specific code, and into the generic code - and in the
process protects it with the module_mutex so that the list operations
are now safe.

Future fixups:
 - move the module list handling code into kernel/module.c where it
   belongs.
 - get rid of 'module_bug_list' and just use the regular list of modules
   (called 'modules' - imagine that) that we already create and maintain
   for other reasons.

Andrew had the sole pleasure of tickling this bug in linux-next; when we set
up "info->strtab" it's pointing into the temporary copy of the module.  For
most uses that is fine, but kallsyms keeps a pointer around during module
load (inside mod->strtab).

If we oops for some reason inside a module's init function, kallsyms will use
the mod->strtab pointer into the now-freed temporary module copy.

(Later oopses work fine: after init we overwrite mod->strtab to point to a
 compacted core-only strtab).

Linus Torvalds 3264d3f9dd module: add load_info
Btw, here's a patch that _looks_ large, but it really pretty trivial, and
sets things up so that it would be way easier to split off pieces of the
module loading.

The reason it looks large is that it creates a "module_info" structure
that contains all the module state that we're building up while loading,
instead of having individual variables for all the indices etc.

So the patch ends up being large, because every "symindex" access instead
becomes "info.index.sym" etc. That may be a few characters longer, but it
then means that we can just pass a pointer to that "info" structure
around. and let all the pieces fill it in very naturally.

As an example of that, the patch also moves the initialization of all
those convenience variables into a "setup_module_info()" function. And at
this point it really does become very natural to start to peel off some of
the error labels and move them into the helper functions - now the
"truncated" case is gone, and is handled inside that setup function
instead.

So maybe you don't like this approach, and it does make the variable
accesses a bit longer, but I don't think unreadably so. And the patch
really does look big and scary, but there really should be absolutely no
semantic changes - most of it was a trivial and mindless rename.

In fact, it was so mindless that I on purpose kept the existing helper
functions looking like this:

-       err = check_modinfo(mod, sechdrs, infoindex, versindex);
+       err = check_modinfo(mod, info.sechdrs, info.index.info, info.index.vers);

rather than changing them to just take the "info" pointer. IOW, a second
phase (if you think the approach is ok) would change that calling
convention to just do

	err = check_modinfo(mod, &info);

(and same for "layout_sections()", "layout_symtabs()" etc.) Similarly,
while right now it makes things _look_ bigger, with things like this:

	versindex = find_sec(hdr, sechdrs, secstrings, "__versions");

becoming

	info->index.vers = find_sec(info->hdr, info->sechdrs, info->secstrings, "__versions");

in the new "setup_module_info()" function, that's again just a result of
it being a search-and-replace patch. By using the 'info' pointer, we could
just change the 'find_sec()' interface so that it ends up being

	info->index.vers = find_sec(info, "__versions");

instead, and then we'd actually have a shorter and more readable line. So
for a lot of those mindless variable name expansions there's would be room
for separate cleanups.

I didn't move quite everything in there - if we do this to layout_symtabs,
for example, we'd want to move the percpu, symoffs, stroffs, *strmap
variables to be fields in that module_info structure too. But that's a
much smaller patch, I moved just the really core stuff that is currently
being set up and used in various parts.

But even in this rough form, it removes close to 70 lines from that
function (but adds 22 lines overall, of course - the structure definition,
the helper function declarations and call-sites etc etc).

And now that I'm looking at that call-chain (to see if it would make sense
to use some other more specific lock - doesn't look like it: all the
readers are using RCU and this is the only writer), I also give you this
trivial one-liner. It changes each_symbol() to not put that constant array
on the stack, resulting in changing

        movq    $C.388.31095, %rsi      #, tmp85
        subq    $376, %rsp      #,
        movq    %rdi, %rbx      # fn, fn
        leaq    -208(%rbp), %rdi        #, tmp84
        movq    %rbx, %rdx      # fn,
        rep movsl
        xorl    %esi, %esi      #
        leaq    -208(%rbp), %rdi        #, tmp87
        movq    %r12, %rcx      # data,
        call    each_symbol_in_section.clone.0  #

into

        xorl    %esi, %esi      #
        subq    $216, %rsp      #,
        movq    %rdi, %rbx      # fn, fn
        movq    $arr.31078, %rdi        #,
        call    each_symbol_in_section.clone.0  #

which is not so much about being obviously shorter and simpler because we
don't unnecessarily copy that constant array around onto the stack, but
also about having a much smaller stack footprint (376 vs 216 bytes - see
the update of 'rsp').

Rusty Russell 9bea7f2395 module: fix bne2 "gave up waiting for init of module libcrc32c"
Problem: it's hard to avoid an init routine stumbling over a
request_module these days.  And it's not clear it's always a bad idea:
for example, a module like kvm with dynamic dependencies on kvm-intel
or kvm-amd would be neater if it could simply request_module the right
one.

In this particular case, it's libcrc32c:

	libcrc32c_mod_init
	 crypto_alloc_shash
	  crypto_alloc_tfm
	   crypto_find_alg
	    crypto_alg_mod_lookup
	     crypto_larval_lookup
	      request_module

If another module is waiting inside resolve_symbol() for libcrc32c to
finish initializing (ie. bne2 depends on libcrc32c) then it does so
holding the module lock, and our request_module() can't make progress
until that is released.

Waiting inside resolve_symbol() without the lock isn't all that hard:
we just need to pass the -EBUSY up the call chain so we can sleep
where we don't hold the lock.  Error reporting is a bit trickier: we
need to copy the name of the unfinished module before releasing the
lock.

Other notes:
1) This also fixes a theoretical issue where a weak dependency would allow
   symbol version mismatches to be ignored.
2) We rename use_module to ref_module to make life easier for the only
   external user (the out-of-tree ksplice patches).

Linus Torvalds 3bafeb6247 module: move find_module check to end
I think Rusty may have made the lock a bit _too_ finegrained there, and
didn't add it to some places that needed it. It looks, for example, like
PATCH 1/2 actually drops the lock in places where it's needed
("find_module()" is documented to need it, but now load_module() didn't
hold it at all when it did the find_module()).

Rather than adding a new "module_loading" list, I think we should be able
to just use the existing "modules" list, and just fix up the locking a
bit.

In fact, maybe we could just move the "look up existing module" a bit
later - optimistically assuming that the module doesn't exist, and then
just undoing the work if it turns out that we were wrong, just before
adding ourselves to the list.

Linus Torvalds 2c02dfe7fe module: Make the 'usage' lists be two-way
When adding a module that depends on another one, we used to create a
one-way list of "modules_which_use_me", so that module unloading could
see who needs a module.

It's actually quite simple to make that list go both ways: so that we
not only can see "who uses me", but also see a list of modules that are
"used by me".

In fact, we always wanted that list in "module_unload_free()": when we
unload a module, we want to also release all the other modules that are
used by that module.  But because we didn't have that list, we used to
first iterate over all modules, and then iterate over each "used by me"
list of that module.

By making the list two-way, we simplify module_unload_free(), and it
allows for some trivial fixes later too.

Rusty Russell 293a7cfeed module: fix reference to mod->percpu after freeing module.
Rafael sees a sometimes crash at precpu_modfree from kernel/module.c; it
only occurred with another (since-reverted) patch, but that patch simply
changed timing to uncover this bug, it was otherwise unrelated.

The comment about the mod being freed is self-explanatory, but neither
Tejun nor I read it.  This bug was introduced in 259354deaa, after it
had previously been fixed in 6e2b75740b.  How embarrassing.

Linus Torvalds 218ce73514 Revert "module: drop the lock while waiting for module to complete initialization."
This reverts commit 480b02df3a, since
Rafael reports that it causes occasional kernel paging request faults in
load_module().

Dropping the module lock and re-taking it deep in the call-chain is
definitely not the right thing to do.  That just turns the mutex from a
lock into a "random non-locking data structure" that doesn't actually
protect what it's supposed to protect.

Rusty Russell 480b02df3a module: drop the lock while waiting for module to complete initialization.
This fixes "gave up waiting for init of module libcrc32c." which
happened at boot time due to multiple parallel module loads.

The problem was a deadlock: we wait for a module to finish
initializing, but we keep the module_lock mutex so it can't complete.
In particular, this could reasonably happen if a module does a
request_module() in its initialization routine.

So we change use_module() to return an errno rather than a bool, and if
it's -EBUSY we drop the lock and wait in the caller, then reaquire the
lock.

Tejun Heo 3fc1f1e27a stop_machine: reimplement using cpu_stop
Reimplement stop_machine using cpu_stop.  As cpu stoppers are
guaranteed to be available for all online cpus,
stop_machine_create/destroy() are no longer necessary and removed.

With resource management and synchronization handled by cpu_stop, the
new implementation is much simpler.  Asking the cpu_stop to execute
the stop_cpu() state machine on all online cpus with cpu hotplug
disabled is enough.

stop_machine itself doesn't need to manage any global resources
anymore, so all per-instance information is rolled into struct
stop_machine_data and the mutex and all static data variables are
removed.

The previous implementation created and destroyed RT workqueues as
necessary which made stop_machine() calls highly expensive on very
large machines.  According to Dimitri Sivanich, preventing the dynamic
creation/destruction makes booting faster more than twice on very
large machines.  cpu_stop resources are preallocated for all online
cpus and should have the same effect.

Nick Piggin 5fbfb18d7a Fix up possibly racy module refcounting
Module refcounting is implemented with a per-cpu counter for speed.
However there is a race when tallying the counter where a reference may
be taken by one CPU and released by another.  Reference count summation
may then see the decrement without having seen the previous increment,
leading to lower than expected count.  A module which never has its
actual reference drop below 1 may return a reference count of 0 due to
this race.

Module removal generally runs under stop_machine, which prevents this
race causing bugs due to removal of in-use modules.  However there are
other real bugs in module.c code and driver code (module_refcount is
exported) where the callers do not run under stop_machine.

Fix this by maintaining running per-cpu counters for the number of
module refcount increments and the number of refcount decrements.  The
increments are tallied after the decrements, so any decrement seen will
always have its corresponding increment counted.  The final refcount is
the difference of the total increments and decrements, preventing a
low-refcount from being returned.

The this_cpu_xx operations are also used for !SMP mode. Otherwise we could
not drop the use of __module_ref_addr() which would make per cpu data handling
complicated. this_cpu_xx operations have their own fallback for !SMP.

Helge Deller 35dead4235 modules: don't export section names of empty sections via sysfs
On the parisc architecture we face for each and every loaded kernel module
this kernel "badness warning":
  sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/module/ac97_bus/sections/.text'
  Badness at fs/sysfs/dir.c:487

Reason for that is, that on parisc all kernel modules do have multiple
.text sections due to the usage of the -ffunction-sections compiler flag
which is needed to reach all jump targets on this platform.

An objdump on such a kernel module gives:
Sections:
Idx Name          Size      VMA       LMA       File off  Algn
  0 .note.gnu.build-id 00000024  00000000  00000000  00000034  2**2
                  CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, DATA
  1 .text         00000000  00000000  00000000  00000058  2**0
                  CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE
  2 .text.ac97_bus_match 0000001c  00000000  00000000  00000058  2**2
                  CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE
  3 .text         00000000  00000000  00000000  000000d4  2**0
                  CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE
...
Since the .text sections are empty (size of 0 bytes) and won't be
loaded by the kernel module loader anyway, I don't see a reason
why such sections need to be listed under
/sys/module/<module_name>/sections/<section_name> either.

The attached patch does solve this issue by not exporting section
names which are empty.

This fixes bugzilla http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14703

with CONFIG_KALLSYMS disabled.

There are three different issues:

    - layout_symtab() takes a const Elf_Ehdr

    - layout_symtab() needs to return a value

    - symoffs/stroffs/strmap are referenced by the load_module() code
      despite being ifdefed out, which seems unnecessary given the noop
      behaviour of layout_symtab()/add_kallsyms() in the case of
      CONFIG_KALLSYMS=n.

commit 720eba31 assumed it did, and various frobbings since then kept
that assumption.

All other callers in module.c all protect it with an if; this effectively
does the same as free_init is only goto if we fail percpu_modalloc().

Normally the twisty paths of sysfs will free the attributes, but not if
we fail before we hook it into sysfs (which is the last thing we do in
load_module).

(This sysfs code is a turd, no doubt there are other issues lurking too).

Linus reported this new build warning:

Caused by:

module_layout() is an artificial symbol with 'significant' symbols
listed in its argument list so that it gets a proper argument types
signature that modversions can pick up to decide whether a
module is version-compatible or not. If these dont match then we
wont even look at a module.

Remove the stale marker symbol.

Bernd Schmidt eb8cdec4a9 nommu: add support for Memory Protection Units (MPU)
Some architectures (like the Blackfin arch) implement some of the
"simpler" features that one would expect out of a MMU such as memory
protection.

In our case, we actually get read/write/exec protection down to the page
boundary so processes can't stomp on each other let alone the kernel.

There is a performance decrease (which depends greatly on the workload)
however as the hardware/software interaction was not optimized at design
time.

Ingo Molnar ea6bff3685 modules: Fix build error in the !CONFIG_KALLSYMS case
> James Bottomley (1):
>       module: workaround duplicate section names

-tip testing found that this patch breaks the build on x86 if
CONFIG_KALLSYMS is disabled:

 kernel/module.c: In function ‘load_module’:
 kernel/module.c:2367: error: ‘struct module’ has no member named ‘sect_attrs’
 distcc[8269] ERROR: compile kernel/module.c on ph/32 failed
 make[1]: *** [kernel/module.o] Error 1
 make: *** [kernel] Error 2
 make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

Commit 1b364bf misses the fact that section attributes are only
built and dealt with if kallsyms is enabled. The patch below fixes
this.

( note, technically speaking this should depend on CONFIG_SYSFS as
  well but this patch is correct too and keeps the #ifdef less
  intrusive - in the KALLSYMS && !SYSFS case the code is a NOP. )

Tejun Heo e74e396204 percpu: use dynamic percpu allocator as the default percpu allocator
This patch makes most !CONFIG_HAVE_SETUP_PER_CPU_AREA archs use
dynamic percpu allocator.  The first chunk is allocated using
embedding helper and 8k is reserved for modules.  This ensures that
the new allocator behaves almost identically to the original allocator
as long as static percpu variables are concerned, so it shouldn't
introduce much breakage.

s390 and alpha use custom SHIFT_PERCPU_PTR() to work around addressing
range limit the addressing model imposes.  Unfortunately, this breaks
if the address is specified using a variable, so for now, the two
archs aren't converted.

The following architectures are affected by this change.

* sh
* arm
* cris
* mips
* sparc(32)
* blackfin
* avr32
* parisc (broken, under investigation)
* m32r
* powerpc(32)

As this change makes the dynamic allocator the default one,
CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_PER_CPU_AREA is replaced with its invert -
CONFIG_HAVE_LEGACY_PER_CPU_AREA, which is added to yet-to-be converted
archs.  These archs implement their own setup_per_cpu_areas() and the
conversion is not trivial.

* powerpc(64)
* sparc(64)
* ia64
* alpha
* s390

Boot and batch alloc/free tests on x86_32 with debug code (x86_32
doesn't use default first chunk initialization).  Compile tested on
sparc(32), powerpc(32), arm and alpha.

Kyle McMartin reported that this change breaks parisc.  The problem is
still under investigation and he is okay with pushing this patch
forward and fixing parisc later.

Rusty Russell ad6561dffa module: trim exception table on init free.
It's theoretically possible that there are exception table entries
which point into the (freed) init text of modules.  These could cause
future problems if other modules get loaded into that memory and cause
an exception as we'd see the wrong fixup.  The only case I know of is
kvm-intel.ko (when CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=n).

Amerigo fixed this long-standing FIXME in the x86 version, but this
patch is more general.

This implements trim_init_extable(); most archs are simple since they
use the standard lib/extable.c sort code.  Alpha and IA64 use relative
addresses in their fixups, so thier trimming is a slight variation.

Sparc32 is unique; it doesn't seem to define ARCH_HAS_SORT_EXTABLE,
yet it defines its own sort_extable() which overrides the one in lib.
It doesn't sort, so we have to mark deleted entries instead of
actually trimming them.

Steven Rostedt 93eb677d74 ftrace: use module notifier for function tracer
The hooks in the module code for the function tracer must be called
before any of that module code runs. The function tracer hooks
modify the module (replacing calls to mcount to nops). If the code
is executed while the change occurs, then the CPU can take a GPF.

To handle the above with a bit of paranoia, I originally implemented
the hooks as calls directly from the module code.

After examining the notifier calls, it looks as though the start up
notify is called before any of the module's code is executed. This makes
the use of the notify safe with ftrace.

Only the startup notify is required to be "safe". The shutdown simply
removes the entries from the ftrace function list, and does not modify
any code.

This change has another benefit. It removes a issue with a reverse dependency
in the mutexes of ftrace_lock and module_mutex.

Linus Torvalds d6de2c80e9 async: Fix module loading async-work regression
Several drivers use asynchronous work to do device discovery, and we
synchronize with them in the compiled-in case before we actually try to
mount root filesystems etc.

However, when compiled as modules, that synchronization is missing - the
module loading completes, but the driver hasn't actually finished
probing for devices, and that means that any user mode that expects to
use the devices after the 'insmod' is now potentially broken.

We already saw one case of a similar issue in the ACPI battery code,
where the kernel itself expected the module to be all done, and unmapped
the init memory - but the async device discovery was still running.
That got hacked around by just removing the "__init" (see commit
5d38258ec0 "ACPI battery: fix async boot
oops"), but the real fix is to just make the module loading wait for all
async work to be completed.

It will slow down module loading, but since common devices should be
built in anyway, and since the bug is really annoying and hard to handle
from user space (and caused several S3 resume regressions), the simple
fix to wait is the right one.

This fixes at least

	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13063

but probably a few other bugzilla entries too (12936, for example), and
is confirmed to fix Rafael's storage driver breakage after resume bug
report (no bugzilla entry).

We should also be able to now revert that ACPI battery fix.

Rusty Russell 2e45e77787 Revert "module: remove the SHF_ALLOC flag on the __versions section."
This reverts commit 9cb610d8e3.

This was an impressively stupid patch.  Firstly, we reset the SHF_ALLOC
flag lower down in the same function, so the patch was useless.  Even
better, find_sec() ignores sections with SHF_ALLOC not set, so
it breaks CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y with CONFIG_MODULE_FORCE_LOAD=n, which
refuses to load the module since it can't find the __versions section.

Kees Cook 3d43321b70 modules: sysctl to block module loading
Implement a sysctl file that disables module-loading system-wide since
there is no longer a viable way to remove CAP_SYS_MODULE after the system
bounding capability set was removed in 2.6.25.

Value can only be set to "1", and is tested only if standard capability
checks allow CAP_SYS_MODULE.  Given existing /dev/mem protections, this
should allow administrators a one-way method to block module loading
after initial boot-time module loading has finished.

Rusty Russell e91defa26c module: don't use stop_machine on module load
Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> discovered that boot times are slowed
by about half a second because all the stop_machine_create() calls,
and he only probes about 40 modules (I have 125 loaded on this laptop).

We only do stop_machine_create() so we can unlink the module if
something goes wrong, but it's overkill (and buggy anyway: if
stop_machine_create() fails we still call stop_machine_destroy()).

Since we are only protecting against kallsyms (esp. oops) walking the
list, synchronize_sched() is sufficient (synchronize_rcu() is probably
sufficient, but we're not in a hurry).

Kay says of this patch:
	... no module takes more than 40 millisecs to link now, most of
	them are between 3 and 8 millisecs.

	That looks very different to the numbers without this patch
	and the otherwise same setup, where we get heavy noise in the
	traces and many delays of up to 200 millisecs until linking,
	most of them taking 30+ millisecs.

Rusty Russell 8c8ef42aee module: include other structures in module version check
With CONFIG_MODVERSIONS, we version 'struct module' using a dummy
export, but other things matter too:

1) 'struct modversion_info' determines the layout of the __versions section,
2) 'struct kernel_param' determines the layout of the __params section,
3) 'struct kernel_symbol' determines __ksymtab*.
4) 'struct marker' determines __markers.
5) 'struct tracepoint' determines __tracepoints.

So we rename 'struct_module' to 'module_layout' and include these in
the signature.  Now it's general we can add others later on without
confusion.

Rusty Russell 9cb610d8e3 module: remove the SHF_ALLOC flag on the __versions section.
Impact: reduce kernel memory usage

This patch just takes off the SHF_ALLOC flag on __versions so we don't
keep them around after module load.

This saves about 7% of module memory if CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y.

Impact: Expose some module.c symbols

Ksplice uses several functions from module.c in order to resolve
symbols and implement dependency handling.  Calling these functions
requires holding module_mutex, so it is exported.

module_text_address() returns a pointer to the module, which given locking
improvements in module.c, is useless except to test for NULL:

1) If the module can't go away, use __module_text_address.
2) Otherwise, just use is_module_text_address().

ksplice wants to know the bounds of a module, not just the module text.

It makes sense to have __module_address.  We then implement
is_module_address and __module_text_address in terms of this (and
change is_module_text_address() to bool while we're at it).

Also, add proper kerneldoc for them all.

Rusty Russell e180a6b775 param: fix charp parameters set via sysfs
Impact: fix crash on reading from /sys/module/.../ieee80211_default_rc_algo

The module_param type "charp" simply sets a char * pointer in the
module to the parameter in the commandline string: this is why we keep
the (mangled) module command line around.  But when set via sysfs (as
about 11 charp parameters can be) this memory is freed on the way
out of the write().  Future reads hit random mem.

So we kstrdup instead: we have to check we're not in early commandline
parsing, and we have to note when we've used it so we can reliably
kfree the parameter when it's next overwritten, and also on module
unload.

(Thanks to Randy Dunlap for CONFIG_SYSFS=n fixes)

Jason Baron e9d376f0fa dynamic debug: combine dprintk and dynamic printk
This patch combines Greg Bank's dprintk() work with the existing dynamic
printk patchset, we are now calling it 'dynamic debug'.

The new feature of this patchset is a richer /debugfs control file interface,
(an example output from my system is at the bottom), which allows fined grained
control over the the debug output. The output can be controlled by function,
file, module, format string, and line number.

for example, enabled all debug messages in module 'nf_conntrack':

echo -n 'module nf_conntrack +p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control

to disable them:

echo -n 'module nf_conntrack -p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control

A further explanation can be found in the documentation patch.
