2022-09-28kallsyms: increase maximum kernel symbol length to 512Miguel Ojeda1-2/+2
Rust symbols can become quite long due to namespacing introduced by modules, types, traits, generics, etc. For instance, the following code: pub mod my_module { pub struct MyType; pub struct MyGenericType<T>(T); pub trait MyTrait { fn my_method() -> u32; } impl MyTrait for MyGenericType<MyType> { fn my_method() -> u32 { 42 } } } generates a symbol of length 96 when using the upcoming v0 mangling scheme: _RNvXNtCshGpAVYOtgW1_7example9my_moduleINtB2_13MyGenericTypeNtB2_6MyTypeENtB2_7MyTrait9my_method At the moment, Rust symbols may reach up to 300 in length. Setting 512 as the maximum seems like a reasonable choice to keep some headroom.

2022-09-01livepatch: fix race between fork and KLP transitionRik van Riel1-2/+16
The KLP transition code depends on the TIF_PATCH_PENDING and the task->patch_state to stay in sync. On a normal (forward) transition, TIF_PATCH_PENDING will be set on every task in the system, while on a reverse transition (after a failed forward one) first TIF_PATCH_PENDING will be cleared from every task, followed by it being set on tasks that need to be transitioned back to the original code. However, the fork code copies over the TIF_PATCH_PENDING flag from the parent to the child early on, in dup_task_struct and setup_thread_stack. Much later, klp_copy_process will set child->patch_state to match that of the parent. However, the parent's patch_state may have been changed by KLP loading or unloading since it was initially copied over into the child. This results in the KLP code occasionally hitting this warning in klp_complete_transition: for_each_process_thread(g, task) { WARN_ON_ONCE(test_tsk_thread_flag(task, TIF_PATCH_PENDING)); task->patch_state = KLP_UNDEFINED; } Set, or clear, the TIF_PATCH_PENDING flag in the child task depending on whether or not it is needed at the time klp_copy_process is called, at a point in copy_process where the tasklist_lock is held exclusively, preventing races with the KLP code. The KLP code does have a few places where the state is changed without the tasklist_lock held, but those should not cause problems because klp_update_patch_state(current) cannot be called while the current task is in the middle of fork, klp_check_and_switch_task() which is called under the pi_lock, which prevents rescheduling, and manipulation of the patch state of idle tasks, which do not fork. This should prevent this warning from triggering again in the future, and close the race for both normal and reverse transitions.

2022-03-17livepatch: Don't block removal of patches that are safe to unloadChengming Zhou1-2/+9
module_put() is not called for a patch with "forced" flag. It should block the removal of the livepatch module when the code might still be in use after forced transition. klp_force_transition() currently sets "forced" flag for all patches on the list. In fact, any patch can be safely unloaded when it passed through the consistency model in KLP_UNPATCHED transition. In other words, the "forced" flag must be set only for livepatches that are being removed. In particular, set the "forced" flag: + only for klp_transition_patch when the transition to KLP_UNPATCHED state was forced. + all replaced patches when the transition to KLP_PATCHED state was forced and the patch was replacing the existing patches.

2022-01-04livepatch: Fix kobject refcount bug on klp_init_patch_early failure pathDavid Vernet1-18/+13
When enabling a klp patch with klp_enable_patch(), klp_init_patch_early() is invoked to initialize the kobjects for the patch itself, as well as the 'struct klp_object' and 'struct klp_func' objects that comprise it. However, there are some error paths in klp_enable_patch() where some kobjects may have been initialized with kobject_init(), but an error code is still returned due to e.g. a 'struct klp_object' having a NULL funcs pointer. In these paths, the initial reference of the kobject of the 'struct klp_patch' may never be released, along with one or more of its objects and their functions, as kobject_put() is not invoked on the cleanup path if klp_init_patch_early() returns an error code. For example, if an object entry such as the following were added to the sample livepatch module's klp patch, it would cause the vmlinux klp_object, and its klp_func which updates 'cmdline_proc_show', to never be released: static struct klp_object objs[] = { { /* name being NULL means vmlinux */ .funcs = funcs, }, { /* NULL funcs -- would cause reference leak */ .name = "kvm", }, { } }; Without this change, if CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT is enabled, and the sample klp patch is loaded, the kobjects (the patch, the vmlinux 'struct klp_object', and its func) are observed as initialized, but never released, in the dmesg log output. With the change, these kobject references no longer fail to be released as the error case is properly handled before they are initialized.

2021-12-23Documentation: livepatch: Add livepatch API pageDavid Vernet1-3/+3
The livepatch subsystem has several exported functions and objects with kerneldoc comments. Though the livepatch documentation contains handwritten descriptions of all of these exported functions, they are currently not pulled into the docs build using the kernel-doc directive. In order to allow readers of the documentation to see the full kerneldoc comments in the generated documentation files, this change adds a new Documentation/livepatch/api.rst page which contains kernel-doc directives to link the kerneldoc comments directly in the documentation. With this, all of the hand-written descriptions of the APIs now cross-reference the kerneldoc comments on the new Livepatching APIs page, and running ./scripts/find-unused-docs.sh on kernel/livepatch no longer shows any files as missing documentation. Note that all of the handwritten API descriptions were left alone with the exception of Documentation/livepatch/system-state.rst, which was updated to allow the cross-referencing to work correctly. The file now follows the cross-referencing formatting guidance specified in Documentation/doc-guide/kernel-doc.rst. Furthermore, some comments around klp_shadow_free_all() were updated to say <_, id> rather than <*, id> to match the rest of the file, and to prevent the docs build from emitting an "Inline emphasis start-string without end string" error.

2021-10-27ftrace: disable preemption when recursion locked王贇1-6/+6
As the documentation explained, ftrace_test_recursion_trylock() and ftrace_test_recursion_unlock() were supposed to disable and enable preemption properly, however currently this work is done outside of the function, which could be missing by mistake. And since the internal using of trace_test_and_set_recursion() and trace_clear_recursion() also require preemption disabled, we can just merge the logical. This patch will make sure the preemption has been disabled when trace_test_and_set_recursion() return bit >= 0, and trace_clear_recursion() will enable the preemption if previously enabled.

For callbacks that set the FL_SAVE_REGS flag in their ftrace_ops flags, they will now need to get the pt_regs via a ftrace_get_regs() helper call. If this is called by a callback that their ftrace_ops did not have a FL_SAVE_REGS flag set, it that helper function will return NULL. This will allow the ftrace_regs to hold enough just to get the parameters and stack pointer, but without the worry that callbacks may have a pt_regs that is not completely filled.

2020-05-08livepatch: Remove .klp.archPeter Zijlstra1-18/+9
After the previous patch, vmlinux-specific KLP relocations are now applied early during KLP module load. This means that .klp.arch sections are no longer needed for *vmlinux-specific* KLP relocations. One might think they're still needed for *module-specific* KLP relocations. If a to-be-patched module is loaded *after* its corresponding KLP module is loaded, any corresponding KLP relocations will be delayed until the to-be-patched module is loaded. If any special sections (.parainstructions, for example) rely on those relocations, their initializations (apply_paravirt) need to be done afterwards. Thus the apparent need for arch_klp_init_object_loaded() and its corresponding .klp.arch sections -- it allows some of the special section initializations to be done at a later time. But... if you look closer, that dependency between the special sections and the module-specific KLP relocations doesn't actually exist in reality. Looking at the contents of the .altinstructions and .parainstructions sections, there's not a realistic scenario in which a KLP module's .altinstructions or .parainstructions section needs to access a symbol in a to-be-patched module. It might need to access a local symbol or even a vmlinux symbol; but not another module's symbol. When a special section needs to reference a local or vmlinux symbol, a normal rela can be used instead of a KLP rela. Since the special section initializations don't actually have any real dependency on module-specific KLP relocations, .klp.arch and arch_klp_init_object_loaded() no longer have a reason to exist. So remove them. As Peter said much more succinctly: So the reason for .klp.arch was that .klp.rela.* stuff would overwrite paravirt instructions. If that happens you're doing it wrong. Those RELAs are core kernel, not module, and thus should've happened in .rela.* sections at patch-module loading time. Reverting this removes the two apply_{paravirt,alternatives}() calls from the late patching path, and means we don't have to worry about them when removing module_disable_ro().

2020-05-08livepatch: Apply vmlinux-specific KLP relocations earlyJosh Poimboeuf1-51/+86
KLP relocations are livepatch-specific relocations which are applied to a KLP module's text or data. They exist for two reasons: 1) Unexported symbols: replacement functions often need to access unexported symbols (e.g. static functions), which "normal" relocations don't allow. 2) Late module patching: this is the ability for a KLP module to bypass normal module dependencies, such that the KLP module can be loaded *before* a to-be-patched module. This means that relocations which need to access symbols in the to-be-patched module might need to be applied to the KLP module well after it has been loaded. Non-late-patched KLP relocations are applied from the KLP module's init function. That usually works fine, unless the patched code wants to use alternatives, paravirt patching, jump tables, or some other special section which needs relocations. Then we run into ordering issues and crashes. In order for those special sections to work properly, the KLP relocations should be applied *before* the special section init code runs, such as apply_paravirt(), apply_alternatives(), or jump_label_apply_nops(). You might think the obvious solution would be to move the KLP relocation initialization earlier, but it's not necessarily that simple. The problem is the above-mentioned late module patching, for which KLP relocations can get applied well after the KLP module is loaded. To "fix" this issue in the past, we created .klp.arch sections: .klp.arch.{module}..altinstructions .klp.arch.{module}..parainstructions Those sections allow KLP late module patching code to call apply_paravirt() and apply_alternatives() after the module-specific KLP relocations (.klp.rela.{module}.{section}) have been applied. But that has a lot of drawbacks, including code complexity, the need for arch-specific code, and the (per-arch) danger that we missed some special section -- for example the __jump_table section which is used for jump labels. It turns out there's a simpler and more functional approach. There are two kinds of KLP relocation sections: 1) vmlinux-specific KLP relocation sections .klp.rela.vmlinux.{sec} These are relocations (applied to the KLP module) which reference unexported vmlinux symbols. 2) module-specific KLP relocation sections .klp.rela.{module}.{sec}: These are relocations (applied to the KLP module) which reference unexported or exported module symbols. Up until now, these have been treated the same. However, they're inherently different. Because of late module patching, module-specific KLP relocations can be applied very late, thus they can create the ordering headaches described above. But vmlinux-specific KLP relocations don't have that problem. There's nothing to prevent them from being applied earlier. So apply them at the same time as normal relocations, when the KLP module is being loaded. This means that for vmlinux-specific KLP relocations, we no longer have any ordering issues. vmlinux-referencing jump labels, alternatives, and paravirt patching will work automatically, without the need for the .klp.arch hacks. All that said, for module-specific KLP relocations, the ordering problems still exist and we *do* still need .klp.arch. Or do we? Stay tuned.

2019-11-04ftrace: Introduce PERMANENT ftrace_ops flagMiroslav Benes1-1/+2
Livepatch uses ftrace for redirection to new patched functions. It means that if ftrace is disabled, all live patched functions are disabled as well. Toggling global 'ftrace_enabled' sysctl thus affect it directly. It is not a problem per se, because only administrator can set sysctl values, but it still may be surprising. Introduce PERMANENT ftrace_ops flag to amend this. If the FTRACE_OPS_FL_PERMANENT is set on any ftrace ops, the tracing cannot be disabled by disabling ftrace_enabled. Equally, a callback with the flag set cannot be registered if ftrace_enabled is disabled.

2019-11-01livepatch: Allow to distinguish different version of system state changesPetr Mladek3-0/+53
The atomic replace runs pre/post (un)install callbacks only from the new livepatch. There are several reasons for this: + Simplicity: clear ordering of operations, no interactions between old and new callbacks. + Reliability: only new livepatch knows what changes can already be made by older livepatches and how to take over the state. + Testing: the atomic replace can be properly tested only when a newer livepatch is available. It might be too late to fix unwanted effect of callbacks from older livepatches. It might happen that an older change is not enough and the same system state has to be modified another way. Different changes need to get distinguished by a version number added to struct klp_state. The version can also be used to prevent loading incompatible livepatches. The check is done when the livepatch is enabled. The rules are: + Any completely new system state modification is allowed. + System state modifications with the same or higher version are allowed for already modified system states. + Cumulative livepatches must handle all system state modifications from already installed livepatches. + Non-cumulative livepatches are allowed to touch already modified system states.

2019-11-01livepatch: Basic API to track system state changesPetr Mladek2-1/+84
This is another step how to help maintaining more livepatches. One big help was the atomic replace and cumulative livepatches. These livepatches replace the already installed ones. Therefore it should be enough when each cumulative livepatch is consistent. The problems might come with shadow variables and callbacks. They might change the system behavior or state so that it is no longer safe to go back and use an older livepatch or the original kernel code. Also, a new livepatch must be able to detect changes which were made by the already installed livepatches. This is where the livepatch system state tracking gets useful. It allows to: - find whether a system state has already been modified by previous livepatches - store data needed to manipulate and restore the system state The information about the manipulated system states is stored in an array of struct klp_state. It can be searched by two new functions klp_get_state() and klp_get_prev_state(). The dependencies are going to be solved by a version field added later. The only important information is that it will be allowed to modify the same state by more non-cumulative livepatches. It is similar to allowing to modify the same function several times. The livepatch author is responsible for preventing incompatible changes.

For this they might need to access some data stored or referenced by the old livepatches. Therefore the replaced livepatches have to stay around until post_patch() callback is called. It is achieved by calling the free functions later. It is the same location where disabled livepatches have already been freed.

2019-08-19livepatch: Nullify obj->mod in klp_module_coming()'s error pathMiroslav Benes1-0/+1
klp_module_coming() is called for every module appearing in the system. It sets obj->mod to a patched module for klp_object obj. Unfortunately it leaves it set even if an error happens later in the function and the patched module is not allowed to be loaded. klp_is_object_loaded() uses obj->mod variable and could currently give a wrong return value. The bug is probably harmless as of now.

2019-06-20livepatch: Remove duplicate warning about missing reliable stacktrace supportPetr Mladek1-1/+0
WARN_ON_ONCE() could not be called safely under rq lock because of console deadlock issues. Moreover WARN_ON_ONCE() is superfluous in klp_check_stack(), because stack_trace_save_tsk_reliable() cannot return -ENOSYS thanks to klp_have_reliable_stack() check in klp_try_switch_task().

2019-06-20Revert "livepatch: Remove reliable stacktrace check in klp_try_switch_task()"Miroslav Benes1-0/+7
This reverts commit 1d98a69e5cef3aeb68bcefab0e67e342d6bb4dad. Commit 31adf2308f33 ("livepatch: Convert error about unsupported reliable stacktrace into a warning") weakened the enforcement for architectures to have reliable stack traces support. The system only warns now about it. It only makes sense to reintroduce the compile time checking in klp_try_switch_task() again and bail out early.
