Pull module fixes from Rusty Russell:
"Fixed one missing place for the new taint flag, and remove a warning
giving only false positives (now we finally figured out why)"
* tag 'fixes-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rusty/linux:
module: remove warning about waiting module removal.
Fix: tracing: use 'E' instead of 'X' for unsigned module taint flag
|

A race exists between module loading and enabling of function tracer.
CPU 1 CPU 2
----- -----
load_module()
module->state = MODULE_STATE_COMING
register_ftrace_function()
mutex_lock(&ftrace_lock);
ftrace_startup()
update_ftrace_function();
ftrace_arch_code_modify_prepare()
set_all_module_text_rw();
<enables-ftrace>
ftrace_arch_code_modify_post_process()
set_all_module_text_ro();
[ here all module text is set to RO,
including the module that is
loading!! ]
blocking_notifier_call_chain(MODULE_STATE_COMING);
ftrace_init_module()
[ tries to modify code, but it's RO, and fails!
ftrace_bug() is called]
When this race happens, ftrace_bug() will produces a nasty warning and
all of the function tracing features will be disabled until reboot.
The simple solution is to treate module load the same way the core
kernel is treated at boot. To hardcode the ftrace function modification
of converting calls to mcount into nops. This is done in init/main.c
there's no reason it could not be done in load_module(). This gives
a better control of the changes and doesn't tie the state of the
module to its notifiers as much. Ftrace is special, it needs to be
treated as such.
The reason this would work, is that the ftrace_module_init() would be
called while the module is in MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED, which is ignored
by the set_all_module_text_ro() call.

We remove the waiting module removal in commit 3f2b9c9cdf38 (September
2013), but it turns out that modprobe in kmod (< version 16) was
asking for waiting module removal. No one noticed since modprobe would
check for 0 usage immediately before trying to remove the module, and
the race is unlikely.
However, it means that anyone running old (but not ancient) kmod
versions is hitting the printk designed to see if anyone was running
"rmmod -w". All reports so far have been false positives, so remove
the warning.

The initialization of a structure is not subject to synchronization.
The use of __this_cpu would trigger a false positive with the additional
preemption checks for __this_cpu ops.
So simply disable the check through the use of raw_cpu ops.

Pull x86 LTO changes from Peter Anvin:
"More infrastructure work in preparation for link-time optimization

My understanding is that the changes to support LTO are still not
upstream in binutils, but are on the way there. This patchset should
conclude the x86-specific changes, and remaining patches to actually
enable LTO will be fed through the Kbuild tree (other than keeping up

Users have reported being unable to trace non-signed modules loaded
within a kernel supporting module signature.
This is caused by tracepoint.c:tracepoint_module_coming() refusing to
take into account tracepoints sitting within force-loaded modules
(TAINT_FORCED_MODULE). The reason for this check, in the first place, is
that a force-loaded module may have a struct module incompatible with
the layout expected by the kernel, and can thus cause a kernel crash
upon forced load of that module on a kernel with CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS=y.
Tracepoints, however, specifically accept TAINT_OOT_MODULE and
TAINT_CRAP, since those modules do not lead to the "very likely system
crash" issue cited above for force-loaded modules.
With kernels having CONFIG_MODULE_SIG=y (signed modules), a non-signed
module is tainted re-using the TAINT_FORCED_MODULE taint flag.
Unfortunately, this means that Tracepoints treat that module as a
force-loaded module, and thus silently refuse to consider any tracepoint
within this module.
Since an unsigned module does not fit within the "very likely system
crash" category of tainting, add a new TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE taint flag
to specifically address this taint behavior, and accept those modules
within Tracepoints. We use the letter 'X' as a taint flag character for
a module being loaded that doesn't know how to sign its name (proposed
by Steven Rostedt).
Also add the missing 'O' entry to trace event show_module_flags() list
for the sake of completeness.

Here is the workaround I made for having the kernel not reject modules
built with -flto. The clean solution would be to get the compiler to not
emit the symbol. Or if it has to emit the symbol, then emit it as
initialized data but put it into a comdat/linkonce section.

This adds the .init_array section as yet another section with constructors. This
is needed because gcc could add __gcov_init calls to .init_array or .ctors
section, depending on gcc (and binutils) version .
v2: - reuse mod->ctors for .init_array section for modules, because gcc uses
.ctors or .init_array, but not both at the same time
v3: - fail to load if that does happen somehow.

The option to wait for a module reference count to reach zero was in
the initial module implementation, but it was never supported in
modprobe (you had to use rmmod --wait). After discussion with Lucas,
It has been deprecated (with a 10 second sleep) in kmod for the last
year.
This finally removes it: the flag will evoke a printk warning and a
normal (non-blocking) remove attempt.

DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE helps to find the issue attached below.
After some investigation, it seems the reason is:
The mod->mkobj.kobj(ffffffffa01600d0 below) is freed together with mod
itself in free_module(). However, its children still hold references to
it, as the delay caused by DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE. So when the
child(holders below) tries to decrease the reference count to its parent
in kobject_del(), BUG happens as it tries to access already freed memory.
This patch tries to fix it by waiting for the mod->mkobj.kobj to be
really released in the module removing process (and some error code
paths).

For some strings, they are permitted to be larger than PAGE_SIZE, so
need use scnprintf() instead of sprintf(), or it will cause issue.
One case is:
if a module version is crazy defined (length more than PAGE_SIZE),
'modinfo' command is still OK (print full contents),
but for "cat /sys/modules/'modname'/version", will cause issue in kernel.

Although parameters are supposed to be part of the kernel API, experimental
parameters are often removed. In addition, downgrading a kernel might cause
previously-working modules to fail to load.
On balance, it's probably better to warn, and load the module anyway.
This may let through a typo, but at least the logs will show it.

If we pass a pointer to a const string in the form "module:symbol"
module_kallsyms_lookup_name() will try to split the string at the colon,
i.e., will try to modify r/o data. That will, in fact, fail on a kernel
with enabled CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA.
Avoid modifying the passed string in module_kallsyms_lookup_name(),
modify find_module_all() instead to pass it the module name length.

Otherwise we get a race between unload and reload of the same module:
the new module doesn't see the old one in the list, but then fails because
it can't register over the still-extant entries in sysfs:

Fix symbol versioning on architectures with symbol prefixes. Although
the build was free from warnings the actual modules still wouldn't load
as the ____versions table contained unprefixed symbol names, which were
being compared against the prefixed symbol names when checking the
symbol versions.
This is fixed by modifying modpost to add the symbol prefix to the
____versions table it outputs (Modules.symvers still contains unprefixed
symbol names). The check_modstruct_version() function is also fixed as
it checks the version of the unprefixed "module_layout" symbol which
would no longer work.

We have CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX, which three archs define to the string
"_". But Al Viro broke this in "consolidate cond_syscall and
SYSCALL_ALIAS declarations" (in linux-next), and he's not the first to
do so.
Using CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is awkward, since we usually just want to
prefix it so something. So various places define helpers which are
defined to nothing if CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX isn't set:
1) include/asm-generic/unistd.h defines __SYMBOL_PREFIX.
2) include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h defines VMLINUX_SYMBOL(sym)
3) include/linux/export.h defines MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX.
4) include/linux/kernel.h defines SYMBOL_PREFIX (which differs from #7)
5) kernel/modsign_certificate.S defines ASM_SYMBOL(sym)
6) scripts/modpost.c defines MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX
7) scripts/Makefile.lib defines SYMBOL_PREFIX on the commandline if
CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is set, so that we have a non-string version
for pasting.
(arch/h8300/include/asm/linkage.h defines SYMBOL_NAME(), too).
Let's solve this properly:
1) No more generic prefix, just CONFIG_HAVE_UNDERSCORE_SYMBOL_PREFIX.
2) Make linux/export.h usable from asm.
3) Define VMLINUX_SYMBOL() and VMLINUX_SYMBOL_STR().
4) Make everyone use them.

load_module more complicated: we grab the mutex once to insert the

Commit 1fb9341ac348 ("module: put modules in list much earlier") moved
some of the module initialization code around, and in the process
changed the exit paths too. But for the duplicate export symbol error
case the change made the ddebug_cleanup path jump to after the module
mutex unlock, even though it happens with the mutex held.
Rusty has some patches to split this function up into some helper
functions, hopefully the mess of complex goto targets will go away
eventually.

If the default iosched is built as module, the kernel may deadlock
while trying to load the iosched module on device probe if the probing
was running off async. This is because async_synchronize_full() at
the end of module init ends up waiting for the async job which
initiated the module loading.
async A modprobe
1. finds a device
2. registers the block device
3. request_module(default iosched)
4. modprobe in userland
5. load and init module
6. async_synchronize_full()
Async A waits for modprobe to finish in request_module() and modprobe
waits for async A to finish in async_synchronize_full().
Because there's no easy to track dependency once control goes out to
userland, implementing properly nested flushing is difficult. For
now, make module init perform async_synchronize_full() iff module init
has queued async jobs as suggested by Linus.
This avoids the described deadlock because iosched module doesn't use
async and thus wouldn't invoke async_synchronize_full(). This is
hacky and incomplete. It will deadlock if async module loading nests;
however, this works around the known problem case and seems to be the
best of bad options.
For more details, please refer to the following thread.

Now we have a new state MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED, we can insert the
module into the list (and thus guarantee its uniqueness) before we
allocate the per-cpu region.

In commit d0a21265dfb5fa8a David Rientjes unified various archs'
module_alloc implementation (including x86) and removed the graduitous
shortcut for size == 0.
Then, in commit de7d2b567d040e3b, Joe Perches added a warning for
zero-length vmallocs, which can happen without kallsyms on modules
with no init sections (eg. zlib_deflate).
Fix this once and for all; the module code has to handle zero length
anyway, so get it right at the caller and remove the now-gratuitous
checks within the arch-specific module_alloc implementations.

Now that kernel module origins can be reasoned about, provide a hook to
the LSMs to make policy decisions about the module file. This will let
Chrome OS enforce that loadable kernel modules can only come from its
read-only hash-verified root filesystem. Other LSMs can, for example,
read extended attributes for signatures, etc.

As part of the effort to create a stronger boundary between root and
kernel, Chrome OS wants to be able to enforce that kernel modules are
being loaded only from our read-only crypto-hash verified (dm_verity)
root filesystem. Since the init_module syscall hands the kernel a module
as a memory blob, no reasoning about the origin of the blob can be made.
Earlier proposals for appending signatures to kernel modules would not be
useful in Chrome OS, since it would involve adding an additional set of
keys to our kernel and builds for no good reason: we already trust the
contents of our root filesystem. We don't need to verify those kernel
modules a second time. Having to do signature checking on module loading
would slow us down and be redundant. All we need to know is where a
module is coming from so we can say yes/no to loading it.
If a file descriptor is used as the source of a kernel module, many more
things can be reasoned about. In Chrome OS's case, we could enforce that
the module lives on the filesystem we expect it to live on. In the case
of IMA (or other LSMs), it would be possible, for example, to examine
extended attributes that may contain signatures over the contents of
the module.
This introduces a new syscall (on x86), similar to init_module, that has
only two arguments. The first argument is used as a file descriptor to
the module and the second argument is a pointer to the NULL terminated
string of module arguments.

Masaki found and patched a kallsyms issue: the last symbol in a
module's symtab wasn't transferred. This is because we manually copy
the zero'th entry (which is always empty) then copy the rest in a loop
starting at 1, though from src[0]. His fix was minimal, I prefer to
rewrite the loops in more standard form.
There are two loops: one to get the size, and one to copy. Make these
identical: always count entry 0 and any defined symbol in an allocated
non-init section.
This bug exists since the following commit was introduced.
