Pull ring-buffer updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Restructure the persistent memory to have a "scratch" area
Instead of hard coding the KASLR offset in the persistent memory by
the ring buffer, push that work up to the callers of the persistent
memory as they are the ones that need this information. The offsets
and such is not important to the ring buffer logic and it should not
be part of that.
A scratch pad is now created when the caller allocates a ring buffer
from persistent memory by stating how much memory it needs to save.
- Allow where modules are loaded to be saved in the new scratch pad
Save the addresses of modules when they are loaded into the
persistent memory scratch pad.
- A new module_for_each_mod() helper function was created
With the acknowledgement of the module maintainers a new module
helper function was created to iterate over all the currently loaded
modules. This has a callback to be called for each module. This is
needed for when tracing is started in the persistent buffer and the
currently loaded modules need to be saved in the scratch area.
- Expose the last boot information where the kernel and modules were
loaded
The last_boot_info file is updated to print out the addresses of
where the kernel "_text" location was loaded from a previous boot, as
well as where the modules are loaded. If the buffer is recording the
current boot, it only prints "# Current" so that it does not expose
the KASLR offset of the currently running kernel.
- Allow the persistent ring buffer to be released (freed)
To have this in production environments, where the kernel command
line can not be changed easily, the ring buffer needs to be freed
when it is not going to be used. The memory for the buffer will
always be allocated at boot up, but if the system isn't going to
enable tracing, the memory needs to be freed. Allow it to be freed
and added back to the kernel memory pool.
- Allow stack traces to print the function names in the persistent
buffer
Now that the modules are saved in the persistent ring buffer, if the
same modules are loaded, the printing of the function names will
examine the saved modules. If the module is found in the scratch area
and is also loaded, then it will do the offset shift and use kallsyms
to display the function name. If the address is not found, it simply
displays the address from the previous boot in hex.

The tracing system needs a way to save all the currently loaded modules
and their addresses into persistent memory so that it can evaluate the
addresses on a reboot from a crash. When the persistent memory trace
starts, it will load the module addresses and names into the persistent
memory. To do so, it will call the module_for_each_mod() function and pass
it a function and data structure to get called on each loaded module. Then
it can record the memory.
This only implements that function.

strscpy() instead. The destination buffer ownername is only used with
"%s" format strings and must therefore be NUL-terminated, but not NUL-

search_module_extables() returns an exception_table_entry belonging to a
module. The lookup via __module_address() can be performed with RCU
protection.
The returned exception_table_entry remains valid because the passed
address usually belongs to a module that is currently executed. So the
module can not be removed because "something else" holds a reference to
it, ensuring that it can not be removed.
Exceptions here are:
- kprobe, acquires a reference on the module beforehand
- MCE, invokes the function from within a timer and the RCU lifetime
guarantees (of the timer) are sufficient.
Therefore it is safe to return the exception_table_entry outside the RCU
section which provided the module.
Use RCU for the lookup in search_module_extables() and update the
comment.

The RCU usage in module was introduced in commit d72b37513cdfb ("Remove
stop_machine during module load v2") and it claimed not to be RCU but
similar. Then there was another improvement in commit e91defa26c527
("module: don't use stop_machine on module load"). It become a mix of
RCU and RCU-sched and was eventually fixed 0be964be0d450 ("module:
Sanitize RCU usage and locking"). Later RCU & RCU-sched was merged in
commit cb2f55369d3a9 ("modules: Replace synchronize_sched() and
call_rcu_sched()") so that was aligned.
Looking at it today, there is still leftovers. The preempt_disable() was
used instead rcu_read_lock_sched(). The RCU & RCU-sched merge was not
complete as there is still rcu_dereference_sched() for module::kallsyms.
The RCU-list modules and unloaded_tainted_modules are always accessed
under RCU protection or the module_mutex. The modules list iteration can
always happen safely because the module will not disappear.
Once the module is removed (free_module()) then after removing the
module from the list, there is a synchronize_rcu() which waits until
every RCU reader left the section. That means iterating over the list
within a RCU-read section is enough, there is no need to disable
preemption. module::kallsyms is first assigned in add_kallsyms() before
the module is added to the list. At this point, it points to init data.
This pointer is later updated and before the init code is removed there
is also synchronize_rcu() in do_free_init(). That means A RCU read lock
is enough for protection and rcu_dereference() can be safely used.
Convert module code and its users step by step. Update comments and
convert print_modules() to use RCU.

Adds a new format for MODVERSIONS which stores each field in a separate
ELF section. This initially adds support for variable length names, but
could later be used to add additional fields to MODVERSIONS in a
backwards compatible way if needed. Any new fields will be ignored by
old user tooling, unlike the current format where user tooling cannot
tolerate adjustments to the format (for example making the name field
longer).
Since PPC munges its version records to strip leading dots, we reproduce
the munging for the new format. Other architectures do not appear to
have architecture-specific usage of this information.

Commit 71810db27c1c ("modversions: treat symbol CRCs as 32 bit
quantities") changed the CRC fields to s32 because the __kcrctab and
__kcrctab_gpl sections contained relative references to the actual
CRC values stored in the .rodata section when CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS=y.
Commit 7b4537199a4a ("kbuild: link symbol CRCs at final link, removing
CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS") removed this complexity. Now, the __kcrctab
and __kcrctab_gpl sections directly contain the CRC values in all cases.
The genksyms tool outputs unsigned 32-bit CRC values, so u32 is preferred
over s32.
No functional changes are intended.
Regardless of this change, the CRC value is assigned to the u32 variable
'crcval' before the comparison, as seen in kernel/module/version.c:
crcval = *crc;
It was previously mandatory (but now optional) in order to avoid sign
extension because the following line previously compared 'unsigned long'
and 's32':
if (versions[i].crc == crcval)
return 1;
versions[i].crc is still 'unsigned long' for backward compatibility.

- Matthew Maurer and Sami Tolvanen have been tag teaming to help get us
closer to a modversions for Rust. In this cycle we take in quite a
lot of the refactoring for ELF validation. I expect modversions for
Rust will be merged by v6.14 as that code is mostly ready now.
- Adds a new modules selftests: kallsyms which helps us tests
find_symbol() and the limits of kallsyms on Linux today.
- We have a realtime mailing list to kernel-ci testing for modules now

When a module gets unloaded there is a possibility that some of the
allocations it made are still used and therefore the allocation tags
corresponding to these allocations are still referenced. As such, the
memory for these tags can't be freed. This is currently handled as an
abnormal situation and module's data section is not being unloaded. To
handle this situation without keeping module's data in memory, allow
codetags with longer lifespan than the module to be loaded into their own
separate memory. The in-use memory areas and gaps after module unloading
in this separate memory are tracked using maple trees. Allocation tags
arrange their separate memory so that it is virtually contiguous and that
will allow simple allocation tag indexing later on in this patchset. The
size of this virtually contiguous memory is set to store up to 100000
allocation tags.

In order to support ROX allocations for module text, it is necessary to
handle modifications to the code, such as relocations and alternatives
patching, without write access to that memory.
One option is to use text patching, but this would make module loading
extremely slow and will expose executable code that is not finally formed.
A better way is to have memory allocated with ROX permissions contain
invalid instructions and keep a writable, but not executable copy of the
module text. The relocations and alternative patches would be done on the
writable copy using the addresses of the ROX memory. Once the module is
completely ready, the updated text will be copied to ROX memory using text
patching in one go and the writable copy will be freed.
Add support for that to module initialization code and provide necessary
interfaces in execmem.

However, there's a couple of places where we do those checks as

Factor out the validation of section names.
There are two behavioral changes:
1. Previously, we did not validate non-SHF_ALLOC sections.
This may have once been safe, as find_sec skips non-SHF_ALLOC
sections, but find_any_sec, which will be used to load BTF if that is
enabled, ignores the SHF_ALLOC flag. Since there's no need to support
invalid section names, validate all of them, not just SHF_ALLOC
sections.
2. Section names were validated *after* accessing them for the purposes
of detecting ".modinfo" and ".gnu.linkonce.this_module". They are now
checked prior to the access, which could avoid bad accesses with
malformed modules.

Pull 'struct fd' updates from Al Viro:

add struct fd constructors, get rid of __to_fd()
struct fd: representation change
introduce fd_file(), convert all accessors to it.
|
|
For any changes of struct fd representation we need to
turn existing accesses to fields into calls of wrappers.
Accesses to struct fd::flags are very few (3 in linux/file.h,
1 in net/socket.c, 3 in fs/overlayfs/file.c and 3 more in
explicit initializers).
Those can be dealt with in the commit converting to
new layout; accesses to struct fd::file are too many for that.
This commit converts (almost) all of f.file to
fd_file(f). It's not entirely mechanical ('file' is used as
a member name more than just in struct fd) and it does not
even attempt to distinguish the uses in pointer context from
those in boolean context; the latter will be eventually turned
into a separate helper (fd_empty()).
NOTE: mass conversion to fd_empty(), tempting as it
might be, is a bad idea; better do that piecewise in commit
that convert from fdget...() to CLASS(...).

The recursive aes-arm-bs module load situation reported by Russell King
is getting fixed in the crypto layer, but this in the meantime fixes the
"recursive load hangs forever" by just making the waiting for the first
module load be interruptible.
This should now match the old behavior before commit 9b9879fc0327
("modules: catch concurrent module loads, treat them as idempotent"),
which used the different "wait for module to be ready" code in
module_patient_check_exists().
End result: a recursive module load will still block, but now a signal
will interrupt it and fail the second module load, at which point the
first module will successfully complete loading.

Russell King reported that the arm cbc(aes) crypto module hangs when
loaded, and Herbert Xu bisected it to commit 9b9879fc0327 ("modules:
catch concurrent module loads, treat them as idempotent"), and noted:
"So what's happening here is that the first modprobe tries to load a
fallback CBC implementation, in doing so it triggers a load of the
exact same module due to module aliases.
IOW we're loading aes-arm-bs which provides cbc(aes). However, this
needs a fallback of cbc(aes) to operate, which is made out of the
generic cbc module + any implementation of aes, or ecb(aes). The
latter happens to also be provided by aes-arm-cb so that's why it
tries to load the same module again"
So loading the aes-arm-bs module ends up wanting to recursively load
itself, and the recursive load then ends up waiting for the original
module load to complete.
This is a regression, in that it used to be that we just tried to load
the module multiple times, and then as we went on to install it the
second time we would instead just error out because the module name
already existed.
That is actually also exactly what the original "catch concurrent loads"
patch did in commit 9828ed3f695a ("module: error out early on concurrent
load of the same module file"), but it turns out that it ends up being
racy, in that erroring out before the module has been fully initialized
will cause failures in dependent module loading.
See commit ac2263b588df (which was the revert of that "error out early")
commit for details about why erroring out before the module has been
initialized is actually fundamentally racy.
Now, for the actual recursive module load (as opposed to just
concurrently loading the same module twice), the race is not an issue.
At the same time it's hard for the kernel to see that this is recursion,
because the module load is always done from a usermode helper, so the
recursion is not some simple callchain within the kernel.
End result: this is not the real fix, but this at least adds a warning
for the situation (admittedly much too late for all the debugging pain
that Russell and Herbert went through) and if we can come to a
resolution on how to detect the recursion properly, this re-organizes
the code to make that easier.

...as this will allow split BTF modules with a base BTF
representation (rather than the full vmlinux BTF at time of
BTF encoding) to resolve their references to kernel types in a
way that is more resilient to small changes in kernel types.
This will allow modules that are not built every time the kernel
is to provide more resilient BTF, rather than have it invalidated
every time BTF ids for core kernel types change.
Fields are ordered to avoid holes in struct module.

Extend execmem parameters to accommodate more complex overrides of
module_alloc() by architectures.
This includes specification of a fallback range required by arm, arm64
and powerpc, EXECMEM_MODULE_DATA type required by powerpc, support for
allocation of KASAN shadow required by s390 and x86 and support for
late initialization of execmem required by arm64.
The core implementation of execmem_alloc() takes care of suppressing
warnings when the initial allocation fails but there is a fallback range
defined.

module_alloc() is used everywhere as a mean to allocate memory for code.
Beside being semantically wrong, this unnecessarily ties all subsystems
that need to allocate code, such as ftrace, kprobes and BPF to modules and
puts the burden of code allocation to the modules code.
Several architectures override module_alloc() because of various
constraints where the executable memory can be located and this causes
additional obstacles for improvements of code allocation.
Start splitting code allocation from modules by introducing execmem_alloc()
and execmem_free() APIs.
Initially, execmem_alloc() is a wrapper for module_alloc() and
execmem_free() is a replacement of module_memfree() to allow updating all
call sites to use the new APIs.
Since architectures define different restrictions on placement,
permissions, alignment and other parameters for memory that can be used by
different subsystems that allocate executable memory, execmem_alloc() takes
a type argument, that will be used to identify the calling subsystem and to
allow architectures define parameters for ranges suitable for that
subsystem.
No functional changes.

Skip freeing module's data section if there are non-zero allocation tags
because otherwise, once these allocations are freed, the access to their
code tag would cause UAF.
