Problem:
When a kernel module is compiled as a separate module, some important
information about the kernel module is available via .modinfo section of
the module. In contrast, when the kernel module is compiled into the
kernel, that information is not available.
Information about built-in modules is necessary in the following cases:
1. When it is necessary to find out what additional parameters can be
passed to the kernel at boot time.
2. When you need to know which module names and their aliases are in
the kernel. This is very useful for creating an initrd image.
Proposal:
The proposed patch does not remove .modinfo section with module
information from the vmlinux at the build time and saves it into a
separate file after kernel linking. So, the kernel does not increase in
size and no additional information remains in it. Information is stored
in the same format as in the separate modules (null-terminated string
array). Because the .modinfo section is already exported with a separate
modules, we are not creating a new API.
It can be easily read in the userspace:

When a module is loaded, its symbols' Elf_Sym information is stored
in a symtab. Further, type information is also captured. Since
Elf_Sym has no type field, historically the st_info field has been
hijacked for storing type: st_info was overwritten.
commit 5439c985c5 ("module: Overwrite
st_size instead of st_info") changes that practice, as its one-liner
indicates. Unfortunately, this change overwrites symbol size,
information that a tool like DTrace expects to find.
Allocate a typetab array to store type information so that no Elf_Sym
field needs to be overwritten.

Requiring appended kernel module signatures may be configured, enabled

To coordinate between appended kernel module signatures and IMA

Implement the ability for filesystems to log error, warning and
informational messages through the fs_context. These can be extracted by
userspace by reading from an fd created by fsopen().
Error messages are prefixed with "e ", warnings with "w " and informational
messages with "i ".
Inside the kernel, formatted messages are malloc'd but unformatted messages
are not copied if they're either in the core .rodata section or in the
.rodata section of the filesystem module pinned by fs_context::fs_type.
The messages are only good till the fs_type is released.
Note that the logging object is shared between duplicated fs_context
structures. This is so that such as NFS which do a mount within a mount
can get at least some of the errors from the inner mount.
Five logging functions are provided for this:
(1) void logfc(struct fs_context *fc, const char *fmt, ...);
This logs a message into the context. If the buffer is full, the
earliest message is discarded.
(2) void errorf(fc, fmt, ...);
This wraps logfc() to log an error.
(3) void invalf(fc, fmt, ...);
This wraps errorf() and returns -EINVAL for convenience.
(4) void warnf(fc, fmt, ...);
This wraps logfc() to log a warning.
(5) void infof(fc, fmt, ...);
This wraps logfc() to log an informational message.

The upcoming GCC 9 release extends the -Wmissing-attributes warnings
(enabled by -Wall) to C and aliases: it warns when particular function
attributes are missing in the aliases but not in their target.
In particular, it triggers for all the init/cleanup_module
aliases in the kernel (defined by the module_init/exit macros),
ending up being very noisy.
These aliases point to the __init/__exit functions of a module,
which are defined as __cold (among other attributes). However,
the aliases themselves do not have the __cold attribute.
Since the compiler behaves differently when compiling a __cold
function as well as when compiling paths leading to calls
to __cold functions, the warning is trying to point out
the possibly-forgotten attribute in the alias.
In order to keep the warning enabled, we decided to silence
this case. Ideally, we would mark the aliases directly
as __init/__exit. However, there are currently around 132 modules
in the kernel which are missing __init/__exit in their init/cleanup
functions (either because they are missing, or for other reasons,
e.g. the functions being called from somewhere else); and
a section mismatch is a hard error.
A conservative alternative was to mark the aliases as __cold only.
However, since we would like to eventually enforce __init/__exit
to be always marked, we chose to use the new __copy function
attribute (introduced by GCC 9 as well to deal with this).
With it, we copy the attributes used by the target functions
into the aliases. This way, functions that were not marked
as __init/__exit won't have their aliases marked either,
and therefore there won't be a section mismatch.
Note that the warning would go away marking either the extern
declaration, the definition, or both. However, we only mark
the definition of the alias, since we do not want callers
(which only see the declaration) to be compiled as if the function
was __cold (and therefore the paths leading to those calls
would be assumed to be unlikely).

The original MODULE_LICENSE string for kernel modules licensed under the
GPL v2 (only / or later) was simply "GPL", which was - and still is -
completely sufficient for the purpose of module loading and checking
whether the module is free software or proprietary.
In January 2003 this was changed with commit 3344ea3ad4b7 ("[PATCH]
MODULE_LICENSE and EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL support"). This commit can be found in
the history git repository which holds the 1:1 import of Linus' bitkeeper
repository:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tglx/history.git/commit/?id=3344ea3ad4b7c302c846a680dbaeedf96ed45c02
The main intention of the patch was to refuse linking proprietary modules
against symbols exported with EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() at module load time.
As a completely undocumented side effect it also introduced the distinction
between "GPL" and "GPL v2" MODULE_LICENSE() strings:
* "GPL" [GNU Public License v2 or later]
* "GPL v2" [GNU Public License v2]
* "GPL and additional rights" [GNU Public License v2 rights and more]
* "Dual BSD/GPL" [GNU Public License v2
* or BSD license choice]
* "Dual MPL/GPL" [GNU Public License v2
* or Mozilla license choice]
This distinction was and still is wrong in several aspects:
1) It broke all modules which were using the "GPL" string in the
MODULE_LICENSE() already and were licensed under GPL v2 only.
A quick license scan over the tree at that time shows that at least 480
out of 1484 modules have been affected by this change back then. The
number is probably way higher as this was just a quick check for
clearly identifiable license information.
There was exactly ONE instance of a "GPL v2" module license string in
the kernel back then - drivers/net/tulip/xircom_tulip_cb.c which
otherwise had no license information at all. There is no indication
that the change above is any way related to this driver. The change
happend with the 2.4.11 release which was on Oct. 9 2001 - so quite
some time before the above commit. Unfortunately there is no trace on
the intertubes to any discussion of this.
2) The dual licensed strings became ill defined as well because following
the "GPL" vs. "GPL v2" distinction all dual licensed (or additional
rights) MODULE_LICENSE strings would either require those dual licensed
modules to be licensed under GPL v2 or later or just be unspecified for
the dual licensing case. Neither choice is coherent with the GPL
distinction.
Due to the lack of a proper changelog and no real discussion on the patch
submission other than a few implementation details, it's completely unclear
why this distinction was introduced at all. Other than the comment in the
module header file exists no documentation for this at all.
From a license compliance and license scanning POV this distinction is a
total nightmare.
As of 5.0-rc2 2873 out of 9200 instances of MODULE_LICENSE() strings are
conflicting with the actual license in the source code (either SPDX or
license boilerplate/reference). A comparison between the scan of the
history tree and a scan of current Linus tree shows to the extent that the
git rename detection over Linus tree grafted with the history tree is
halfways complete that almost none of the files which got broken in 2003
have been cleaned up vs. the MODULE_LICENSE string. So subtracting those
480 known instances from the conflicting 2800 of today more than 25% of the
module authors got it wrong and it's a high propability that a large
portion of the rest just got it right by chance.
There is no value for the module loader to convey the detailed license
information as the only decision to be made is whether the module is free
software or not.
The "and additional rights", "BSD" and "MPL" strings are not conclusive
license information either. So there is no point in trying to make the GPL
part conclusive and exact. As shown above it's already non conclusive for
dual licensing and incoherent with a large portion of the module source.
As an unintended side effect this distinction causes a major headache for
license compliance, license scanners and the ongoing effort to clean up the
license mess of the kernel.
Therefore remove the well meant, but ill defined, distinction between "GPL"
and "GPL v2" and document that:
- "GPL" and "GPL v2" both express that the module is licensed under GPLv2
(without a distinction of 'only' and 'or later') and is therefore kernel
license compliant.
- None of the MODULE_LICENSE strings can be used for expressing or
determining the exact license
- Their sole purpose is to decide whether the module is free software or
not.
Add a MODULE_LICENSE subsection to the license rule documentation as well.

Currently, CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL just means "I _want_ to use jump label".
The jump label is controlled by HAVE_JUMP_LABEL, which is defined
like this:

We can improve this by testing 'asm goto' support in Kconfig, then
make JUMP_LABEL depend on CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO.
Ugly #ifdef HAVE_JUMP_LABEL will go away, and CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL will

333: 00002d4d 36 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 1 tun_get_socket
$ arm-linux-gnueabihf-nm drivers/net/tun.ko | grep tun_get_socket
00002d4c T tun_get_socket
$ cat /proc/kallsyms | grep tun_get_socket
7f802d4d t tun_get_socket [tun]
Because of this, the symbol+offset of the crashing instruction shown in
oopses is incorrect when the crash is in a module. For example, given a
tun_get_socket which starts like this,
00002d4c <tun_get_socket>:
2d4c: 6943 ldr r3, [r0, #20]
2d4e: 4a07 ldr r2, [pc, #28]
2d50: 4293 cmp r3, r2
a crash when tun_get_socket is called with NULL results in:
PC is at tun_xdp+0xa3/0xa4 [tun]
pc : [<7f802d4c>]
As can be seen, the "PC is at" line reports the wrong symbol name, and
the symbol+offset will point to the wrong source line if it is passed to
gdb.
To solve this, add a way for archs to fixup the reading of these module
kallsyms values, and use that to clear the lowest bit for function
symbols on Thumb-2.
After the fix:
# cat /proc/kallsyms | grep tun_get_socket
7f802d4c t tun_get_socket [tun]
PC is at tun_get_socket+0x0/0x24 [tun]
pc : [<7f802d4c>]

commit 46e0c9be20 ("kernel: tracepoints: add support for relative
references") changes the layout of the __tracepoint_ptrs section on
architectures supporting relative references. However, it does so
without turning struct tracepoint * const into const int elsewhere in
the tracepoint code, which has the following side-effect:
Setting mod->num_tracepoints is done in by module.c:
mod->tracepoints_ptrs = section_objs(info, "__tracepoints_ptrs",
sizeof(*mod->tracepoints_ptrs),
&mod->num_tracepoints);
Basically, since sizeof(*mod->tracepoints_ptrs) is a pointer size
(rather than sizeof(int)), num_tracepoints is erroneously set to half the
size it should be on 64-bit arch. So a module with an odd number of
tracepoints misses the last tracepoint due to effect of integer
division.
So in the module going notifier:
for_each_tracepoint_range(mod->tracepoints_ptrs,
mod->tracepoints_ptrs + mod->num_tracepoints,
tp_module_going_check_quiescent, NULL);
the expression (mod->tracepoints_ptrs + mod->num_tracepoints) actually
evaluates to something within the bounds of the array, but miss the
last tracepoint if the number of tracepoints is odd on 64-bit arch.
Fix this by introducing a new typedef: tracepoint_ptr_t, which
is either "const int" on architectures that have PREL32 relocations,
or "struct tracepoint * const" on architectures that does not have
this feature.
Also provide a new tracepoint_ptr_defer() static inline to
encapsulate deferencing this type rather than duplicate code and
ugly idefs within the for_each_tracepoint_range() implementation.
This issue appears in 4.19-rc kernels, and should ideally be fixed
before the end of the rc cycle.

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
- Add a console_msg_format command line option:
The value "default" keeps the old "[time stamp] text\n" format. The
value "syslog" allows to see the syslog-like "<log
level>[timestamp] text" format.
This feature was requested by people doing regression tests, for
example, 0day robot. They want to have both filtered and full logs
at hands.
- Reduce the risk of softlockup:
Pass the console owner in a busy loop.
This is a new approach to the old problem. It was first proposed by
Steven Rostedt on Kernel Summit 2017. It marks a context in which
the console_lock owner calls console drivers and could not sleep.
On the other side, printk() callers could detect this state and use
a busy wait instead of a simple console_trylock(). Finally, the
console_lock owner checks if there is a busy waiter at the end of
the special context and eventually passes the console_lock to the
waiter.
The hand-off works surprisingly well and helps in many situations.
Well, there is still a possibility of the softlockup, for example,
when the flood of messages stops and the last owner still has too
much to flush.
There is increasing number of people having problems with
printk-related softlockups. We might eventually need to get better
solution. Anyway, this looks like a good start and promising
direction.
- Do not allow to schedule in console_unlock() called from printk():
This reverts an older controversial commit. The reschedule helped
to avoid softlockups. But it also slowed down the console output.
This patch is obsoleted by the new console waiter logic described
above. In fact, the reschedule made the hand-off less effective.
- Deprecate "%pf" and "%pF" format specifier:
It was needed on ia64, ppc64 and parisc64 to dereference function
descriptors and show the real function address. It is done
transparently by "%ps" and "pS" format specifier now.
Sergey Senozhatsky found that all the function descriptors were in
a special elf section and could be easily detected.
- Remove printk_symbol() API:
It has been obsoleted by "%pS" format specifier, and this change
helped to remove few continuous lines and a less intuitive old API.
- Remove redundant memsets:
Sergey removed unnecessary memset when processing printk.devkmsg
command line option.

There's a risk that a kernel which has full retpoline mitigations becomes
vulnerable when a module gets loaded that hasn't been compiled with the
right compiler or the right option.
To enable detection of that mismatch at module load time, add a module info
string "retpoline" at build time when the module was compiled with
retpoline support. This only covers compiled C source, but assembler source
or prebuilt object files are not checked.
If a retpoline enabled kernel detects a non retpoline protected module at
load time, print a warning and report it in the sysfs vulnerability file.

Add injectable error types for each error-injectable function.
One motivation of error injection test is to find software flaws,
mistakes or mis-handlings of expectable errors. If we find such
flaws by the test, that is a program bug, so we need to fix it.
But if the tester miss input the error (e.g. just return success
code without processing anything), it causes unexpected behavior
even if the caller is correctly programmed to handle any errors.
That is not what we want to test by error injection.
To clarify what type of errors the caller must expect for each
injectable function, this introduces injectable error types:
- EI_ETYPE_NULL : means the function will return NULL if it
fails. No ERR_PTR, just a NULL.
- EI_ETYPE_ERRNO : means the function will return -ERRNO
if it fails.
- EI_ETYPE_ERRNO_NULL : means the function will return -ERRNO
(ERR_PTR) or NULL.
ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION() macro is expanded to get one of
NULL, ERRNO, ERRNO_NULL to record the error type for
each function. e.g.
ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION(open_ctree, ERRNO)
This error types are shown in debugfs as below.
====
/ # cat /sys/kernel/debug/error_injection/list
open_ctree [btrfs] ERRNO
io_ctl_init [btrfs] ERRNO

Since error-injection framework is not limited to be used
by kprobes, nor bpf. Other kernel subsystems can use it
freely for checking safeness of error-injection, e.g.
livepatch, ftrace etc.
So this separate error-injection framework from kprobes.
Some differences has been made:
- "kprobe" word is removed from any APIs/structures.
- BPF_ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION() is renamed to
ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION() since it is not limited for BPF too.
- CONFIG_FUNCTION_ERROR_INJECTION is the config item of this
feature. It is automatically enabled if the arch supports
error injection feature for kprobe or ftrace etc.

There are two format specifiers to print out a pointer in symbolic
format: '%pS/%ps' and '%pF/%pf'. On most architectures, the two
mean exactly the same thing, but some architectures (ia64, ppc64,
parisc64) use an indirect pointer for C function pointers, where
the function pointer points to a function descriptor (which in
turn contains the actual pointer to the code). The '%pF/%pf, when
used appropriately, automatically does the appropriate function
descriptor dereference on such architectures.
The "when used appropriately" part is tricky. Basically this is
a subtle ABI detail, specific to some platforms, that made it to
the API level and people can be unaware of it and miss the whole
"we need to dereference the function" business out. [1] proves
that point (note that it fixes only '%pF' and '%pS', there might
be '%pf' and '%ps' cases as well).
It appears that we can handle everything within the affected
arches and make '%pS/%ps' smart enough to retire '%pF/%pf'.
Function descriptors live in .opd elf section and all affected
arches (ia64, ppc64, parisc64) handle it properly for kernel
and modules. So we, technically, can decide if the dereference
is needed by simply looking at the pointer: if it belongs to
.opd section then we need to dereference it.
The kernel and modules have their own .opd sections, obviously,
that's why we need to split dereference_function_descriptor()
and use separate kernel and module dereference arch callbacks.
This patch does the first step, it
a) adds dereference_kernel_function_descriptor() function.
b) adds a weak alias to dereference_module_function_descriptor()
function.
So, for the time being, we will have:
1) dereference_function_descriptor()
A generic function, that simply dereferences the pointer. There is
bunch of places that call it: kgdbts, init/main.c, extable, etc.
2) dereference_kernel_function_descriptor()
A function to call on kernel symbols that does kernel .opd section
address range test.
3) dereference_module_function_descriptor()
A function to call on modules' symbols that does modules' .opd
section address range test.

A static variable sig_enforce is used as status var to indicate the real
value of CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_FORCE, once this one is set the var will hold
true, but if the CONFIG is not set the status var will hold whatever
value is present in the module.sig_enforce kernel cmdline param: true
when =1 and false when =0 or not present.
Considering this cmdline param take place over the CONFIG value when
it's not set, other places in the kernel could misbehave since they
would have only the CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_FORCE value to rely on. Exporting
this status var allows the kernel to rely in the effective value of
module signature enforcement, being it from CONFIG value or cmdline
param.

MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(type, name) creates an alias of type 'extern const
typeof(name)'. If 'name' is already constant the 'const' attribute is
specified twice, which is not allowed in C89 (see discussion at
https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/5/23/1440). Since the kernel is built with

If a PER_CPU struct which contains a spin_lock is statically initialized
via:
DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct foo, bla) = {
.lock = __SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED(bla.lock)
};
then lockdep assigns a seperate key to each lock because the logic for
assigning a key to statically initialized locks is to use the address as
the key. With per CPU locks the address is obvioulsy different on each CPU.
That's wrong, because all locks should have the same key.
To solve this the following modifications are required:
1) Extend the is_kernel/module_percpu_addr() functions to hand back the
canonical address of the per CPU address, i.e. the per CPU address
minus the per CPU offset.
2) Check the lock address with these functions and if the per CPU check
matches use the returned canonical address as the lock key, so all per
CPU locks have the same key.
3) Move the static_obj(key) check into look_up_lock_class() so this check
can be avoided for statically initialized per CPU locks. That's
required because the canonical address fails the static_obj(key) check
for obvious reasons.

The modversion symbol CRCs are emitted as ELF symbols, which allows us
to easily populate the kcrctab sections by relying on the linker to
associate each kcrctab slot with the correct value.
This has a couple of downsides:
- Given that the CRCs are treated as memory addresses, we waste 4 bytes
for each CRC on 64 bit architectures,
- On architectures that support runtime relocation, a R_<arch>_RELATIVE
relocation entry is emitted for each CRC value, which identifies it
as a quantity that requires fixing up based on the actual runtime
load offset of the kernel. This results in corrupted CRCs unless we
explicitly undo the fixup (and this is currently being handled in the
core module code)
- Such runtime relocation entries take up 24 bytes of __init space
each, resulting in a x8 overhead in [uncompressed] kernel size for
CRCs.
Switching to explicit 32 bit values on 64 bit architectures fixes most
of these issues, given that 32 bit values are not treated as quantities
that require fixing up based on the actual runtime load offset. Note
that on some ELF64 architectures [such as PPC64], these 32-bit values
are still emitted as [absolute] runtime relocatable quantities, even if
the value resolves to a build time constant. Since relative relocations
are always resolved at build time, this patch enables MODULE_REL_CRCS on
powerpc when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, which turns the absolute CRC
references into relative references into .rodata where the actual CRC
value is stored.
So redefine all CRC fields and variables as u32, and redefine the
__CRC_SYMBOL() macro for 64 bit builds to emit the CRC reference using
inline assembler (which is necessary since 64-bit C code cannot use
32-bit types to hold memory addresses, even if they are ultimately
resolved using values that do not exceed 0xffffffff). To avoid
potential problems with legacy 32-bit architectures using legacy
toolchains, the equivalent C definition of the kcrctab entry is retained
for 32-bit architectures.
Note that this mostly reverts commit d4703aefdb ("module: handle ppc64
relocating kcrctabs when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y")

The commit 66cc69e34e ("Fix: module signature vs tracepoints:
add new TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE") updated module_taint_flags() to
potentially print one more character. But it did not increase the
size of the corresponding buffers in m_show() and print_modules().
We have recently done the same mistake when adding a taint flag
for livepatching, see
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/cfba2c823bb984690b73572aaae1db596b54a082.1472137475.git.jpoimboe@redhat.com
Also struct module uses an incompatible type for mod-taints flags.
It survived from the commit 2bc2d61a96 ("[PATCH] list module
taint flags in Oops/panic"). There was used "int" for the global taint
flags at these times. But only the global tain flags was later changed
to "unsigned long" by the commit 25ddbb18aa ("Make the taint
flags reliable").
This patch defines TAINT_FLAGS_COUNT that can be used to create
arrays and buffers of the right size. Note that we could not use
enum because the taint flag indexes are used also in assembly code.
Then it reworks the table that describes the taint flags. The TAINT_*
numbers can be used as the index. Instead, we add information
if the taint flag is also shown per-module.
Finally, it uses "unsigned long", bit operations, and the updated
taint_flags table also for mod->taints.
It is not optimal because only few taint flags can be printed by
module_taint_flags(). But better be on the safe side. IMHO, it is
not worth the optimization and this is a good compromise.

For historical reasons (i.e. pre-git) the exception table stuff was
buried in the middle of the module.h file. I noticed this while
doing an audit for needless includes of module.h and found core
kernel files (both arch specific and arch independent) were just
including module.h for this.
The converse is also true, in that conventional drivers, be they
for filesystems or actual hardware peripherals or similar, do not
normally care about the exception tables.
Here we fork the exception table content out of module.h into a
new file called extable.h -- and temporarily include it into the
module.h itself.
Then we will work our way across the arch independent and arch
specific files needing just exception table content, and move
them off module.h and onto extable.h
Once that is done, we can remove the extable.h from module.h
and in doing it like this, we avoid introducing build failures
into the git history.
The gain here is that module.h gets a bit smaller, across all
modular drivers that we build for allmodconfig. Also the core
files that only need exception table stuff don't have an include
of module.h that brings in lots of extra stuff and just looks
generally out of place.
