* dynamic_debug: only add header when usedLuis de Bethencourt2016-08-021-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | kernel.h header doesn't directly use dynamic debug, instead we can include it in module.c (which used it via kernel.h). printk.h only uses it if CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG is on, changing the inclusion to only happen in that case.

* module: preserve Elf information for livepatch modulesJessica Yu2016-04-011-3/+122
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove the livepatch module notifier in favor of directly enabling and disabling patches to modules in the module loader. Hard-coding the function calls ensures that ftrace_module_enable() is run before klp_module_coming() during module load, and that klp_module_going() is run before ftrace_release_mod() during module unload. This way, ftrace and livepatch code is run in the correct order during the module load/unload sequence without dependence on the module notifier call chain.

| * module: replace copy_module_from_fd with kernel versionMimi Zohar2016-02-211-60/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Replace copy_module_from_fd() with kernel_read_file_from_fd(). Although none of the upstreamed LSMs define a kernel_module_from_file hook, IMA is called, based on policy, to prevent unsigned kernel modules from being loaded by the original kernel module syscall and to measure/appraise signed kernel modules. The security function security_kernel_module_from_file() was called prior to reading a kernel module. Preventing unsigned kernel modules from being loaded by the original kernel module syscall remains on the pre-read kernel_read_file() security hook. Instead of reading the kernel module twice, once for measuring/appraising and again for loading the kernel module, the signature validation is moved to the kernel_post_read_file() security hook.

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).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, percpu symbols from .data..percpu ELF section of a module are not copied over and stored in final symtab array of struct module. Consequently such symbol cannot be returned via kallsyms API (for example kallsyms_lookup_name). This can be especially confusing when the percpu symbol is exported. Only its __ksymtab et al. are present in its symtab. The culprit is in layout_and_allocate() function where SHF_ALLOC flag is dropped for .data..percpu section. There is in fact no need to copy the section to final struct module, because kernel module loader allocates extra percpu section by itself. Unfortunately only symbols from SHF_ALLOC sections are copied due to a check in is_core_symbol(). The patch changes is_core_symbol() function to copy over also percpu symbols (their st_shndx points to .data..percpu ELF section). We do it only if CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL is set to be consistent with the rest of the function (ELF section is SHF_ALLOC but !SHF_EXECINSTR). Finally elf_type() returns type 'a' for a percpu symbol because its address is absolute.

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.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the module init code fails after calling ftrace_module_init() and before calling do_init_module(), we can suffer from a memory leak. This is because ftrace_module_init() allocates pages to store the locations that ftrace hooks are placed in the module text. If do_init_module() fails, it still calls the MODULE_GOING notifiers which will tell ftrace to do a clean up of the pages it allocated for the module. But if load_module() fails before then, the pages allocated by ftrace_module_init() will never be freed. Call ftrace_release_mod() on the module if load_module() fails before getting to do_init_module().

This is wrong (and a false optimization too, preempt_disable() is really rather cheap, and I doubt any of this is on uber critical paths, otherwise it would've retained a pointer to the actual module anyway and avoided the second lookup). While its true that the module cannot go away while we hold a reference on it, the data structure we do the lookup in very much _CAN_ change while we do the lookup.

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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's no need to require an ifdef over the declaration of sig_enforce as IS_ENABLED() can be used. While at it, there's no harm in exposing this kernel parameter outside of CONFIG_MODULE_SIG as it'd be a no-op on non module sig kernels. Now, technically we should in theory be able to remove the #ifdef'ery over the declaration of the module parameter as we are also trusting the bool_enable_only code for CONFIG_MODULE_SIG kernels but for now remain paranoid and keep it. With time if no one can put a bullet through bool_enable_only and if there are no technical requirements over not exposing CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_FORCE with the measures in place by bool_enable_only we could remove this last ifdef.

| * module: Rework module_addr_{min,max}Peter Zijlstra2015-05-281-28/+52
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | __module_address() does an initial bound check before doing the {list/tree} iteration to find the actual module. The bound variables are nowhere near the mod_tree cacheline, in fact they're nowhere near one another. module_addr_min lives in .data while module_addr_max lives in .bss (smarty pants GCC thinks the explicit 0 assignment is a mistake). Rectify this by moving the two variables into a structure together with the latch_tree_root to guarantee they all share the same cacheline and avoid hitting two extra cachelines for the lookup. While reworking the bounds code, move the bound update from allocation to insertion time, this avoids updating the bounds for a few error paths.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 clear to me the required locking is observed, esp. on exported functions.

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.

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_REMOTE_SHOOTDOWN); TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_LOCAL_SHOOTDOWN); 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" }, { 3, "local mm shootdown" })" * tag 'trace-v4.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (27 commits) tracing: Add enum_map file to show enums that have been mapped writeback: Export enums used by tracepoint to user space v4l: Export enums used by tracepoints to user space SUNRPC: Export enums in tracepoints to user space mm: tracing: Export enums in tracepoints to user space irq/tracing: Export enums in tracepoints to user space f2fs: Export the enums in the tracepoints to userspace net/9p/tracing: Export enums in tracepoints to userspace x86/tlb/trace: Export enums in used by tlb_flush tracepoint tracing/samples: Update the trace-event-sample.h with TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() tracing: Allow for modules to convert their enums to values tracing: Add TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() macro to map enums to their values tracing: Update trace-event-sample with TRACE_SYSTEM_VAR documentation tracing: Give system name a pointer brcmsmac: Move each system tracepoints to their own header iwlwifi: Move each system tracepoints to their own header mac80211: Move message tracepoints to their own header tracing: Add TRACE_SYSTEM_VAR to xhci-hcd tracing: Add TRACE_SYSTEM_VAR to kvm-s390 tracing: Add TRACE_SYSTEM_VAR to intel-sst ...

* | Copy the kernel module data from user space in chunksLinus Torvalds2015-04-081-1/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* | lockdep: Fix the module unload key range freeing logicPeter Zijlstra2015-03-231-4/+4
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* kasan, module, vmalloc: rework shadow allocation for modulesAndrey Ryabinin2015-03-121-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
