* mm/execmem, arch: convert remaining overrides of module_alloc to execmemMike Rapoport (IBM)2024-05-141-12/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* mm: introduce execmem_alloc() and execmem_free()Mike Rapoport (IBM)2024-05-141-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* modules: wait do_free_init correctlyChangbin Du2024-03-041-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The synchronization here is to ensure the ordering of freeing of a module init so that it happens before W+X checking. It is worth noting it is not that the freeing was not happening, it is just that our sanity checkers raced against the permission checkers which assume init memory is already gone. Commit 1a7b7d922081 ("modules: Use vmalloc special flag") moved calling do_free_init() into a global workqueue instead of relying on it being called through call_rcu(..., do_free_init), which used to allowed us call do_free_init() asynchronously after the end of a subsequent grace period. The move to a global workqueue broke the gaurantees for code which needed to be sure the do_free_init() would complete with rcu_barrier(). To fix this callers which used to rely on rcu_barrier() must now instead use flush_work(&init_free_wq). Without this fix, we still could encounter false positive reports in W+X checking since the rcu_barrier() here can not ensure the ordering now. Even worse, the rcu_barrier() can introduce significant delay. Eric Chanudet reported that the rcu_barrier introduces ~0.1s delay on a PREEMPT_RT kernel. [ 0.291444] Freeing unused kernel memory: 5568K [ 0.402442] Run /sbin/init as init process With this fix, the above delay can be eliminated.

* module: Expose module_init_layout_section()James Morse2023-08-031-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | module_init_layout_section() choses whether the core module loader considers a section as init or not. This affects the placement of the exit section when module unloading is disabled. This code will never run, so it can be free()d once the module has been initialised. arm and arm64 need to count the number of PLTs they need before applying relocations based on the section name. The init PLTs are stored separately so they can be free()d. arm and arm64 both use within_module_init() to decide which list of PLTs to use when applying the relocation. Because within_module_init()'s behaviour changes when module unloading is disabled, both architecture would need to take this into account when counting the PLTs. Today neither architecture does this, meaning when module unloading is disabled there are insufficient PLTs in the init section to load some modules, resulting in warnings: | WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 51 at arch/arm64/kernel/module-plts.c:99 module_emit_plt_entry+0x184/0x1cc | Modules linked in: crct10dif_common | CPU: 2 PID: 51 Comm: modprobe Not tainted 6.5.0-rc4-yocto-standard-dirty #15208 | Hardware name: QEMU KVM Virtual Machine, BIOS 0.0.0 02/06/2015 | pstate: 20400005 (nzCv daif +PAN -UAO -TCO -DIT -SSBS BTYPE=--) | pc : module_emit_plt_entry+0x184/0x1cc | lr : module_emit_plt_entry+0x94/0x1cc | sp : ffffffc0803bba60 [...] | Call trace: | module_emit_plt_entry+0x184/0x1cc | apply_relocate_add+0x2bc/0x8e4 | load_module+0xe34/0x1bd4 | init_module_from_file+0x84/0xc0 | __arm64_sys_finit_module+0x1b8/0x27c | invoke_syscall.constprop.0+0x5c/0x104 | do_el0_svc+0x58/0x160 | el0_svc+0x38/0x110 | el0t_64_sync_handler+0xc0/0xc4 | el0t_64_sync+0x190/0x194 Instead of duplicating module_init_layout_section()s logic, expose it.

When apply_relocate_add() tries to replace the old relocation with a new one, it sees that the previous one is nonzero and it errors out. He also proposed three different solutions. We could remove the error check in apply_relocate_add() introduced by commit eda9cec4c9a1 ("x86/module: Detect and skip invalid relocations"). However the check is useful for detecting corrupted modules. We could also deny the patched modules to be removed. If it proved to be a major drawback for users, we could still implement a different approach. The solution would also complicate the existing code a lot. We thus decided to reverse the relocation patching (clear all relocation targets on x86_64). The solution is not universal and is too much arch-specific, but it may prove to be simpler in the end.

* kasan: support backing vmalloc space with real shadow memoryDaniel Axtens2019-12-011-1/+1

Currently, vmalloc space is backed by the early shadow page. This means that kasan is incompatible with VMAP_STACK. This series provides a mechanism to back vmalloc space with real, dynamically allocated memory. I have only wired up x86, because that's the only currently supported arch I can work with easily, but it's very easy to wire up other architectures, and it appears that there is some work-in-progress code to do this on arm64 and s390. This has been discussed before in the context of VMAP_STACK: - https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=202009 - https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/7/22/198 - https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/7/19/822 In terms of implementation details: Most mappings in vmalloc space are small, requiring less than a full page of shadow space. Allocating a full shadow page per mapping would therefore be wasteful. Furthermore, to ensure that different mappings use different shadow pages, mappings would have to be aligned to KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SIZE * PAGE_SIZE. Instead, share backing space across multiple mappings. Allocate a backing page when a mapping in vmalloc space uses a particular page of the shadow region. This page can be shared by other vmalloc mappings later on. We hook in to the vmap infrastructure to lazily clean up unused shadow memory. Testing with test_vmalloc.sh on an x86 VM with 2 vCPUs shows that: - Turning on KASAN, inline instrumentation, without vmalloc, introuduces a 4.1x-4.2x slowdown in vmalloc operations. - Turning this on introduces the following slowdowns over KASAN: * ~1.76x slower single-threaded (test_vmalloc.sh performance) * ~2.18x slower when both cpus are performing operations simultaneously (test_vmalloc.sh sequential_test_order=1) This is unfortunate but given that this is a debug feature only, not the end of the world. The benchmarks are also a stress-test for the vmalloc subsystem: they're not indicative of an overall 2x slowdown! This patch (of 4): Hook into vmalloc and vmap, and dynamically allocate real shadow memory to back the mappings. Most mappings in vmalloc space are small, requiring less than a full page of shadow space. Allocating a full shadow page per mapping would therefore be wasteful. Furthermore, to ensure that different mappings use different shadow pages, mappings would have to be aligned to KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SIZE * PAGE_SIZE. Instead, share backing space across multiple mappings. Allocate a backing page when a mapping in vmalloc space uses a particular page of the shadow region. This page can be shared by other vmalloc mappings later on. We hook in to the vmap infrastructure to lazily clean up unused shadow memory. To avoid the difficulties around swapping mappings around, this code expects that the part of the shadow region that covers the vmalloc space will not be covered by the early shadow page, but will be left unmapped. This will require changes in arch-specific code. This allows KASAN with VMAP_STACK, and may be helpful for architectures that do not have a separate module space (e.g. powerpc64, which I am currently working on). It also allows relaxing the module alignment back to PAGE_SIZE. Testing with test_vmalloc.sh on an x86 VM with 2 vCPUs shows that: - Turning on KASAN, inline instrumentation, without vmalloc, introuduces a 4.1x-4.2x slowdown in vmalloc operations. - Turning this on introduces the following slowdowns over KASAN: * ~1.76x slower single-threaded (test_vmalloc.sh performance) * ~2.18x slower when both cpus are performing operations simultaneously (test_vmalloc.sh sequential_test_order=3D1) This is unfortunate but given that this is a debug feature only, not the end of the world.

* License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman2017-11-021-0/+1

By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point).

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

* module: remove mod arg from module_free, rename module_memfree().Rusty Russell2015-01-201-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Nothing needs the module pointer any more, and the next patch will call it from RCU, where the module itself might no longer exist. Removing the arg is the safest approach. This just codifies the use of the module_alloc/module_free pattern which ftrace and bpf use.

* module_arch_freeing_init(): new hook for archs before module->module_init freed.Rusty Russell2015-01-201-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* modules: Fix build error in moduleloader.hRusty Russell2014-07-271-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fengguang Wu's build bot detected that if moduleloader.h is included in a C file (used by ftrace and kprobes to access module_alloc() when available), that it can fail to build if CONFIG_MODULES and CONFIG_MODULES_USE_ELF_REL is not defined. This is because there's a printk() that dereferences struct module to print the name of the module. But as struct module does not exist when CONFIG_MODULES is not defined we get this error: include/linux/moduleloader.h: In function 'apply_relocate': >> include/linux/moduleloader.h:48:63: error: dereferencing pointer to >> incomplete type printk(KERN_ERR "module %s: REL relocation unsupported\n", me->name); ^ Reported-by: kbuild test robot <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Based-on-the-true-story-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Confirms-rustys-story-ends-the-same-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
* Make most arch asm/module.h files use asm-generic/module.hDavid Howells2012-09-281-4/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-161-0/+47
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
