From bf70b0503abd19194dba25fe383d143d0229dc6a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masahiro Yamada Date: Thu, 3 Oct 2019 16:58:21 +0900 Subject: module: swap the order of symbol.namespace Currently, EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS(_GPL) constructs the kernel symbol as follows: __ksymtab_SYMBOL.NAMESPACE The sym_extract_namespace() in modpost allocates memory for the part SYMBOL.NAMESPACE when '.' is contained. One problem is that the pointer returned by strdup() is lost because the symbol name will be copied to malloc'ed memory by alloc_symbol(). No one will keep track of the pointer of strdup'ed memory. sym->namespace still points to the NAMESPACE part. So, you can free it with complicated code like this: free(sym->namespace - strlen(sym->name) - 1); It complicates memory free. To fix it elegantly, I swapped the order of the symbol and the namespace as follows: __ksymtab_NAMESPACE.SYMBOL then, simplified sym_extract_namespace() so that it allocates memory only for the NAMESPACE part. I prefer this order because it is intuitive and also matches to major languages. For example, NAMESPACE::NAME in C++, MODULE.NAME in Python.

Here, the part shows a random string. When you build external modules, the symbol info of vmlinux and in-kernel modules are read from $(objtree)/Module.symvers, but read_dump() is buggy in multiple ways: [1] When the modpost is run for vmlinux and in-kernel modules, sym_extract_namespace() allocates memory for the namespace. On the other hand, read_dump() does not, then sym->namespace will point to somewhere in the line buffer of get_next_line(). The data in the buffer will be replaced soon, and sym->namespace will end up with pointing to unrelated data. As a result, check_exports() will show random strings in the warning messages. [2] When there is no namespace, sym_extract_namespace() returns NULL. On the other hand, read_dump() sets namespace to an empty string "". (but, it will be later replaced with unrelated data due to bug [1].) The check_exports() shows a warning unless exp->namespace is NULL, so every symbol read from read_dump() emits the warning, which is mostly false positive. To address [1], sym_add_exported() calls strdup() for s->namespace. The namespace from sym_extract_namespace() must be freed to avoid memory leak. For [2], I changed the if-conditional in check_exports(). This commit also fixes sym_add_exported() to set s->namespace correctly when the symbol is preloaded.
