* module: fix up CONFIG_KALLSYMS=n build.Paul Mundt2009-10-011-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Starting from commit 4a4962263f07d14660849ec134ee42b63e95ea9a "reduce symbol table for loaded modules (v2)", the kernel/module.c build is broken with CONFIG_KALLSYMS disabled. CC kernel/module.o kernel/module.c:1995: warning: type defaults to 'int' in declaration of 'Elf_Hdr' kernel/module.c:1995: error: expected ';', ',' or ')' before '*' token kernel/module.c: In function 'load_module': kernel/module.c:2203: error: 'strmap' undeclared (first use in this function) kernel/module.c:2203: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once kernel/module.c:2203: error: for each function it appears in.) kernel/module.c:2239: error: 'symoffs' undeclared (first use in this function) kernel/module.c:2239: error: implicit declaration of function 'layout_symtab' kernel/module.c:2240: error: 'stroffs' undeclared (first use in this function) make[1]: *** [kernel/module.o] Error 1 make: *** [kernel/module.o] Error 2 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The general one handles NULL, the static obsolescent (CONFIG_HAVE_LEGACY_PER_CPU_AREA) one in module.c doesn't; Eric's 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().

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

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.

* module: trim exception table on init free.Rusty Russell2009-06-121-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| * | modules: sysctl to block module loadingKees Cook2009-04-031-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* | | ftrace: use module notifier for function tracerSteven Rostedt2009-04-171-12/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

A notifier and a data structure are used to link the TRACE_EVENTs defined in the module to connect them with the ftrace event tracing system.

* | async: Fix module loading async-work regressionLinus Torvalds2009-04-111-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 5d38258ec026921a7b266f4047ebeaa75db358e5 "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. Reported-and-tested-by: Rafael J.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit 9cb610d8e35fe3ec95a2fe2030b02f85aeea83c1. 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.

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.

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.
