commit 46e0c9be206f ("kernel: tracepoints: add support for relative
references") changes the layout of the __tracepoint_ptrs section on
architectures supporting relative references. However, it does so
without turning struct tracepoint * const into const int elsewhere in
the tracepoint code, which has the following side-effect:
Setting mod->num_tracepoints is done in by module.c:
mod->tracepoints_ptrs = section_objs(info, "__tracepoints_ptrs",
sizeof(*mod->tracepoints_ptrs),
&mod->num_tracepoints);
Basically, since sizeof(*mod->tracepoints_ptrs) is a pointer size
(rather than sizeof(int)), num_tracepoints is erroneously set to half the
size it should be on 64-bit arch. So a module with an odd number of
tracepoints misses the last tracepoint due to effect of integer
division.
So in the module going notifier:
for_each_tracepoint_range(mod->tracepoints_ptrs,
mod->tracepoints_ptrs + mod->num_tracepoints,
tp_module_going_check_quiescent, NULL);
the expression (mod->tracepoints_ptrs + mod->num_tracepoints) actually
evaluates to something within the bounds of the array, but miss the
last tracepoint if the number of tracepoints is odd on 64-bit arch.
Fix this by introducing a new typedef: tracepoint_ptr_t, which
is either "const int" on architectures that have PREL32 relocations,
or "struct tracepoint * const" on architectures that does not have
this feature.
Also provide a new tracepoint_ptr_defer() static inline to
encapsulate deferencing this type rather than duplicate code and
ugly idefs within the for_each_tracepoint_range() implementation.
This issue appears in 4.19-rc kernels, and should ideally be fixed
before the end of the rc cycle.

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
- Add a console_msg_format command line option:
The value "default" keeps the old "[time stamp] text\n" format. The
value "syslog" allows to see the syslog-like "<log
level>[timestamp] text" format.
This feature was requested by people doing regression tests, for
example, 0day robot. They want to have both filtered and full logs
at hands.
- Reduce the risk of softlockup:
Pass the console owner in a busy loop.
This is a new approach to the old problem. It was first proposed by
Steven Rostedt on Kernel Summit 2017. It marks a context in which
the console_lock owner calls console drivers and could not sleep.
On the other side, printk() callers could detect this state and use
a busy wait instead of a simple console_trylock(). Finally, the
console_lock owner checks if there is a busy waiter at the end of
the special context and eventually passes the console_lock to the
waiter.
The hand-off works surprisingly well and helps in many situations.
Well, there is still a possibility of the softlockup, for example,
when the flood of messages stops and the last owner still has too
much to flush.
There is increasing number of people having problems with
printk-related softlockups. We might eventually need to get better
solution. Anyway, this looks like a good start and promising
direction.
- Do not allow to schedule in console_unlock() called from printk():
This reverts an older controversial commit. The reschedule helped
to avoid softlockups. But it also slowed down the console output.
This patch is obsoleted by the new console waiter logic described
above. In fact, the reschedule made the hand-off less effective.
- Deprecate "%pf" and "%pF" format specifier:
It was needed on ia64, ppc64 and parisc64 to dereference function
descriptors and show the real function address. It is done
transparently by "%ps" and "pS" format specifier now.
Sergey Senozhatsky found that all the function descriptors were in
a special elf section and could be easily detected.
- Remove printk_symbol() API:
It has been obsoleted by "%pS" format specifier, and this change
helped to remove few continuous lines and a less intuitive old API.
- Remove redundant memsets:
Sergey removed unnecessary memset when processing printk.devkmsg
command line option.

There's a risk that a kernel which has full retpoline mitigations becomes
vulnerable when a module gets loaded that hasn't been compiled with the
right compiler or the right option.
To enable detection of that mismatch at module load time, add a module info
string "retpoline" at build time when the module was compiled with
retpoline support. This only covers compiled C source, but assembler source
or prebuilt object files are not checked.
If a retpoline enabled kernel detects a non retpoline protected module at
load time, print a warning and report it in the sysfs vulnerability file.

Add injectable error types for each error-injectable function.
One motivation of error injection test is to find software flaws,
mistakes or mis-handlings of expectable errors. If we find such
flaws by the test, that is a program bug, so we need to fix it.
But if the tester miss input the error (e.g. just return success
code without processing anything), it causes unexpected behavior
even if the caller is correctly programmed to handle any errors.
That is not what we want to test by error injection.
To clarify what type of errors the caller must expect for each
injectable function, this introduces injectable error types:
- EI_ETYPE_NULL : means the function will return NULL if it
fails. No ERR_PTR, just a NULL.
- EI_ETYPE_ERRNO : means the function will return -ERRNO
if it fails.
- EI_ETYPE_ERRNO_NULL : means the function will return -ERRNO
(ERR_PTR) or NULL.
ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION() macro is expanded to get one of
NULL, ERRNO, ERRNO_NULL to record the error type for
each function. e.g.
ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION(open_ctree, ERRNO)
This error types are shown in debugfs as below.
====
/ # cat /sys/kernel/debug/error_injection/list
open_ctree [btrfs] ERRNO
io_ctl_init [btrfs] ERRNO

Since error-injection framework is not limited to be used
by kprobes, nor bpf. Other kernel subsystems can use it
freely for checking safeness of error-injection, e.g.
livepatch, ftrace etc.
So this separate error-injection framework from kprobes.
Some differences has been made:
- "kprobe" word is removed from any APIs/structures.
- BPF_ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION() is renamed to
ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION() since it is not limited for BPF too.
- CONFIG_FUNCTION_ERROR_INJECTION is the config item of this
feature. It is automatically enabled if the arch supports
error injection feature for kprobe or ftrace etc.

There are two format specifiers to print out a pointer in symbolic
format: '%pS/%ps' and '%pF/%pf'. On most architectures, the two
mean exactly the same thing, but some architectures (ia64, ppc64,
parisc64) use an indirect pointer for C function pointers, where
the function pointer points to a function descriptor (which in
turn contains the actual pointer to the code). The '%pF/%pf, when
used appropriately, automatically does the appropriate function
descriptor dereference on such architectures.
The "when used appropriately" part is tricky. Basically this is
a subtle ABI detail, specific to some platforms, that made it to
the API level and people can be unaware of it and miss the whole
"we need to dereference the function" business out. [1] proves
that point (note that it fixes only '%pF' and '%pS', there might
be '%pf' and '%ps' cases as well).
It appears that we can handle everything within the affected
arches and make '%pS/%ps' smart enough to retire '%pF/%pf'.
Function descriptors live in .opd elf section and all affected
arches (ia64, ppc64, parisc64) handle it properly for kernel
and modules. So we, technically, can decide if the dereference
is needed by simply looking at the pointer: if it belongs to
.opd section then we need to dereference it.
The kernel and modules have their own .opd sections, obviously,
that's why we need to split dereference_function_descriptor()
and use separate kernel and module dereference arch callbacks.
This patch does the first step, it
a) adds dereference_kernel_function_descriptor() function.
b) adds a weak alias to dereference_module_function_descriptor()
function.
So, for the time being, we will have:
1) dereference_function_descriptor()
A generic function, that simply dereferences the pointer. There is
bunch of places that call it: kgdbts, init/main.c, extable, etc.
2) dereference_kernel_function_descriptor()
A function to call on kernel symbols that does kernel .opd section
address range test.
3) dereference_module_function_descriptor()
A function to call on modules' symbols that does modules' .opd
section address range test.

A static variable sig_enforce is used as status var to indicate the real
value of CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_FORCE, once this one is set the var will hold
true, but if the CONFIG is not set the status var will hold whatever
value is present in the module.sig_enforce kernel cmdline param: true
when =1 and false when =0 or not present.
Considering this cmdline param take place over the CONFIG value when
it's not set, other places in the kernel could misbehave since they
would have only the CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_FORCE value to rely on. Exporting
this status var allows the kernel to rely in the effective value of
module signature enforcement, being it from CONFIG value or cmdline
param.

- mark structs to opt _out_ of automated marking (which will come

This marks many critical kernel structures for randomization. These are
structures that have been targeted in the past in security exploits, or
contain functions pointers, pointers to function pointer tables, lists,
workqueues, ref-counters, credentials, permissions, or are otherwise
sensitive. This initial list was extracted from Brad Spengler/PaX Team's
code in the last public patch of grsecurity/PaX based on my understanding

If a PER_CPU struct which contains a spin_lock is statically initialized
via:
DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct foo, bla) = {
.lock = __SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED(bla.lock)
};
then lockdep assigns a seperate key to each lock because the logic for
assigning a key to statically initialized locks is to use the address as
the key. With per CPU locks the address is obvioulsy different on each CPU.
That's wrong, because all locks should have the same key.
To solve this the following modifications are required:
1) Extend the is_kernel/module_percpu_addr() functions to hand back the
canonical address of the per CPU address, i.e. the per CPU address
minus the per CPU offset.
2) Check the lock address with these functions and if the per CPU check
matches use the returned canonical address as the lock key, so all per
CPU locks have the same key.
3) Move the static_obj(key) check into look_up_lock_class() so this check
can be avoided for statically initialized per CPU locks. That's
required because the canonical address fails the static_obj(key) check
for obvious reasons.

Pull exception table module split from Paul Gortmaker:
"Final extable.h related changes.
This completes the separation of exception table content from the
module.h header file. This is achieved with the final commit that
removes the one line back compatible change that sourced extable.h
into the module.h file.
The commits are unchanged since January, with the exception of a
couple Acks that came in for the last two commits a bit later. The
changes have been in linux-next for quite some time[1] and have got
widespread arch coverage via toolchains I have and also from
additional ones the kbuild bot has.
Maintaners of the various arch were Cc'd during the postings to
lkml[2] and informed that the intention was to take the remaining arch
specific changes and lump them together with the final two non-arch
specific changes and submit for this merge window.
The ia64 diffstat stands out and probably warrants a mention. In an

separation of content left something to be desired, and that it get

The modversion symbol CRCs are emitted as ELF symbols, which allows us
to easily populate the kcrctab sections by relying on the linker to
associate each kcrctab slot with the correct value.
This has a couple of downsides:
- Given that the CRCs are treated as memory addresses, we waste 4 bytes
for each CRC on 64 bit architectures,
- On architectures that support runtime relocation, a R_<arch>_RELATIVE
relocation entry is emitted for each CRC value, which identifies it
as a quantity that requires fixing up based on the actual runtime
load offset of the kernel. This results in corrupted CRCs unless we
explicitly undo the fixup (and this is currently being handled in the
core module code)
- Such runtime relocation entries take up 24 bytes of __init space
each, resulting in a x8 overhead in [uncompressed] kernel size for
CRCs.
Switching to explicit 32 bit values on 64 bit architectures fixes most
of these issues, given that 32 bit values are not treated as quantities
that require fixing up based on the actual runtime load offset. Note
that on some ELF64 architectures [such as PPC64], these 32-bit values
are still emitted as [absolute] runtime relocatable quantities, even if
the value resolves to a build time constant. Since relative relocations
are always resolved at build time, this patch enables MODULE_REL_CRCS on
powerpc when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, which turns the absolute CRC
references into relative references into .rodata where the actual CRC
value is stored.
So redefine all CRC fields and variables as u32, and redefine the
__CRC_SYMBOL() macro for 64 bit builds to emit the CRC reference using
inline assembler (which is necessary since 64-bit C code cannot use
32-bit types to hold memory addresses, even if they are ultimately
resolved using values that do not exceed 0xffffffff). To avoid
potential problems with legacy 32-bit architectures using legacy
toolchains, the equivalent C definition of the kcrctab entry is retained
for 32-bit architectures.
Note that this mostly reverts commit d4703aefdbc8 ("module: handle ppc64
relocating kcrctabs when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y")

The commit 66cc69e34e86a231 ("Fix: module signature vs tracepoints:
add new TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE") updated module_taint_flags() to
potentially print one more character. But it did not increase the
size of the corresponding buffers in m_show() and print_modules().
We have recently done the same mistake when adding a taint flag
for livepatching, see
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/cfba2c823bb984690b73572aaae1db596b54a082.1472137475.git.jpoimboe@redhat.com
Also struct module uses an incompatible type for mod-taints flags.
It survived from the commit 2bc2d61a9638dab670d ("[PATCH] list module
taint flags in Oops/panic"). There was used "int" for the global taint
flags at these times. But only the global tain flags was later changed
to "unsigned long" by the commit 25ddbb18aae33ad2 ("Make the taint
flags reliable").
This patch defines TAINT_FLAGS_COUNT that can be used to create
arrays and buffers of the right size. Note that we could not use
enum because the taint flag indexes are used also in assembly code.
Then it reworks the table that describes the taint flags. The TAINT_*
numbers can be used as the index. Instead, we add information
if the taint flag is also shown per-module.
Finally, it uses "unsigned long", bit operations, and the updated
taint_flags table also for mod->taints.
It is not optimal because only few taint flags can be printed by
module_taint_flags(). But better be on the safe side. IMHO, it is
not worth the optimization and this is a good compromise.

For historical reasons (i.e. pre-git) the exception table stuff was
buried in the middle of the module.h file. I noticed this while
doing an audit for needless includes of module.h and found core
kernel files (both arch specific and arch independent) were just
including module.h for this.
The converse is also true, in that conventional drivers, be they
for filesystems or actual hardware peripherals or similar, do not
normally care about the exception tables.
Here we fork the exception table content out of module.h into a
new file called extable.h -- and temporarily include it into the
module.h itself.
Then we will work our way across the arch independent and arch
specific files needing just exception table content, and move
them off module.h and onto extable.h
Once that is done, we can remove the extable.h from module.h
and in doing it like this, we avoid introducing build failures
into the git history.
The gain here is that module.h gets a bit smaller, across all
modular drivers that we build for allmodconfig. Also the core
files that only need exception table stuff don't have an include
of module.h that brings in lots of extra stuff and just looks
generally out of place.

For livepatch modules, copy Elf section, symbol, and string information
from the load_info struct in the module loader. Persist copies of the
original symbol table and string table.
Livepatch manages its own relocation sections in order to reuse module
loader code to write relocations. Livepatch modules must preserve Elf
information such as section indices in order to apply livepatch relocation
sections using the module loader's apply_relocate_add() function.
In order to apply livepatch relocation sections, livepatch modules must
keep a complete copy of their original symbol table in memory. Normally, a
stripped down copy of a module's symbol table (containing only "core"
symbols) is made available through module->core_symtab. But for livepatch
modules, the symbol table copied into memory on module load must be exactly
the same as the symbol table produced when the patch module was compiled.
This is because the relocations in each livepatch relocation section refer
to their respective symbols with their symbol indices, and the original
symbol indices (and thus the symtab ordering) must be preserved in order
for apply_relocate_add() to find the right symbol.

For CONFIG_KALLSYMS, we keep two symbol tables and two string tables.
There's one full copy, marked SHF_ALLOC and laid out at the end of the
module's init section. There's also a cut-down version that only
contains core symbols and strings, and lives in the module's core
section.
After module init (and before we free the module memory), we switch
the mod->symtab, mod->num_symtab and mod->strtab to point to the core
versions. We do this under the module_mutex.
However, kallsyms doesn't take the module_mutex: it uses
preempt_disable() and rcu tricks to walk through the modules, because
it's used in the oops path. It's also used in /proc/kallsyms.
There's nothing atomic about the change of these variables, so we can
get the old (larger!) num_symtab and the new symtab pointer; in fact
this is what I saw when trying to reproduce.
By grouping these variables together, we can use a
carefully-dereferenced pointer to ensure we always get one or the
other (the free of the module init section is already done in an RCU
callback, so that's safe). We allocate the init one at the end of the
module init section, and keep the core one inside the struct module
itself (it could also have been allocated at the end of the module
core, but that's probably overkill).

Modules have three sections: text, rodata and writable data. The code
handled the case where these overlapped, however they never can:
debug_align() ensures they are always page-aligned.
This is why we got away with manually traversing the pages in
set_all_modules_text_rw() without rounding.
We create three helper functions: frob_text(), frob_rodata() and
frob_writable_data(). We then call these explicitly at every point,
so it's clear what we're doing.
We also expose module_enable_ro() and module_disable_ro() for
livepatch to use.

Modular users will always be users of init functionality, but
users of init functionality are not necessarily always modules.
Hence any functionality like module_init and module_exit would
be more at home in the module.h file. And module.h should
explicitly include init.h to make the dependency clear.
We've already done all the legwork needed to ensure that this
move does not cause any build regressions due to implicit
header file include assumptions about where module_init lives.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"This patch series contains several clean ups and even a new trace
clock "monitonic raw". Also some enhancements to make the ring buffer
even faster. But the biggest and most noticeable change is the
renaming of the ftrace* files, structures and variables that have to
deal with trace events.
Over the years I've had several developers tell me about their
confusion with what ftrace is compared to events. Technically,
"ftrace" is the infrastructure to do the function hooks, which include
tracing and also helps with live kernel patching. But the trace
events are a separate entity altogether, and the files that affect the
trace events should not be named "ftrace". These include:
include/trace/ftrace.h -> include/trace/trace_events.h
include/linux/ftrace_event.h -> include/linux/trace_events.h
Also, functions that are specific for trace events have also been renamed:
ftrace_print_*() -> trace_print_*()
(un)register_ftrace_event() -> (un)register_trace_event()
ftrace_event_name() -> trace_event_name()
ftrace_trigger_soft_disabled() -> trace_trigger_soft_disabled()
ftrace_define_fields_##call() -> trace_define_fields_##call()
ftrace_get_offsets_##call() -> trace_get_offsets_##call()
Structures have been renamed:
ftrace_event_file -> trace_event_file
ftrace_event_{call,class} -> trace_event_{call,class}
ftrace_event_buffer -> trace_event_buffer
ftrace_subsystem_dir -> trace_subsystem_dir

ftrace_event_data_offset_##call-> trace_event_data_offset_##call
ftrace_event_type_funcs_##call -> trace_event_type_funcs_##call
And a few various variables and flags have also been updated.
This has been sitting in linux-next for some time, and I have not
heard a single complaint about this rename breaking anything. Mostly
because these functions, variables and structures are mostly internal

Add a "param_lock" mutex to each module, and update params.c to use
the correct built-in or module mutex while locking kernel params.
Remove the kparam_block_sysfs_r/w() macros, replace them with direct
calls to kernel_param_[un]lock(module).
The kernel param code currently uses a single mutex to protect
modification of any and all kernel params. While this generally works,
there is one specific problem with it; a module callback function
cannot safely load another module, i.e. with request_module() or even
with indirect calls such as crypto_has_alg(). If the module to be
loaded has any of its params configured (e.g. with a /etc/modprobe.d/*
config file), then the attempt will result in a deadlock between the
first module param callback waiting for modprobe, and modprobe trying to
lock the single kernel param mutex to set the new module's param.
This fixes that by using per-module mutexes, so that each individual module
is protected against concurrent changes in its own kernel params, but is
not blocked by changes to other module params. All built-in modules
continue to use the built-in mutex, since they will always be loaded at
runtime and references (e.g. request_module(), crypto_has_alg()) to them
will never cause load-time param changing.
This also simplifies the interface used by modules to block sysfs access
to their params; while there are currently functions to block and unblock
sysfs param access which are split up by read and write and expect a single
kernel param to be passed, their actual operation is identical and applies
to all params, not just the one passed to them; they simply lock and unlock
the global param mutex. They are replaced with direct calls to
kernel_param_[un]lock(THIS_MODULE), which locks THIS_MODULE's param_lock, or
if the module is built-in, it locks the built-in mutex.

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.

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

Commit f2411da74698 ("driver-core: add driver module asynchronous probe
support") broke build in case modules are disabled, because in this case
"struct module" is not defined and we can't dereference it. Let's define
module_requested_async_probing() helper and stub it out if modules are
disabled.

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.
