      module: Fix locking in symbol_put_addr() · 275d7d44
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      Poma (on the way to another bug) reported an assertion triggering:
      
        [<ffffffff81150529>] module_assert_mutex_or_preempt+0x49/0x90
        [<ffffffff81150822>] __module_address+0x32/0x150
        [<ffffffff81150956>] __module_text_address+0x16/0x70
        [<ffffffff81150f19>] symbol_put_addr+0x29/0x40
        [<ffffffffa04b77ad>] dvb_frontend_detach+0x7d/0x90 [dvb_core]
      
      Laura Abbott <labbott@redhat.com> produced a patch which lead us to
      inspect symbol_put_addr(). This function has a comment claiming it
      doesn't need to disable preemption around the module lookup
      because it holds a reference to the module it wants to find, which
      therefore cannot go away.
      
      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. Therefore fix the comment and add the
      required preempt_disable().

      module: add per-module param_lock · b51d23e4
      Dan Streetman 提交于
      Add a "param_lock" mutex to each module, and update params.c to use
      the correct built-in or module mutex while locking kernel params.
      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.

      kernel/module.c: avoid ifdefs for sig_enforce declaration · 6727bb9c
      Luis R. Rodriguez 提交于
      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} · 4f666546
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      __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.

      module: Optimize __module_address() using a latched RB-tree · 93c2e105
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      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.

      module: Sanitize RCU usage and locking · 0be964be
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      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.

      driver-core: add driver module asynchronous probe support · f2411da7
      Luis R. Rodriguez 提交于
      Some init systems may wish to express the desire to have device drivers
      run their probe() code asynchronously. 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.

      Copy the kernel module data from user space in chunks · 3afe9f84
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      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 logic · 35a9393c
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      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 modules · a5af5aa8
      Andrey Ryabinin 提交于
      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.

      kasan: enable instrumentation of global variables · bebf56a1
      Andrey Ryabinin 提交于
      This feature let us to detect accesses out of bounds of global variables.
      This will work as for globals in kernel image, so for globals in modules.
      Currently this won't work for symbols in user-specified sections (e.g.
      __init, __read_mostly, ...)
      
      The idea of this is simple.  Compiler increases each global variable by
      redzone size and add constructors invoking __asan_register_globals()
      function.  Information about global variable (address, size, size with
      redzone ...) passed to __asan_register_globals() so we could poison
      variable's redzone.
      
      This patch also forces module_alloc() to return 8*PAGE_SIZE aligned
      address making shadow memory handling (
      kasan_module_alloc()/kasan_module_free() ) more simple.  Such alignment
      guarantees that each shadow page backing modules address space correspond
      to only one module_alloc() allocation.

      module: fix race in kallsyms resolution during module load success. · c7496379
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      The kallsyms routines (module_symbol_name, lookup_module_* etc) disable
      preemption to walk the modules rather than taking the module_mutex:
      this is because they are used for symbol resolution during oopses.
      
      This works because there are synchronize_sched() and synchronize_rcu()
      in the unload and failure paths.  However, there's one case which doesn't
      have that: the normal case where module loading succeeds, and we free
      the init section.
      
      We don't want a synchronize_rcu() there, because it would slow down
      module loading: this bug was introduced in 2009 to speed module
      loading in the first place.
      
      Thus, we want to do the free in an RCU callback.  We do this in the
      simplest possible way by allocating a new rcu_head: if we put it in
      the module structure we'd have to worry about that getting freed.

      module: remove mod arg from module_free, rename module_memfree(). · be1f221c
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      Nothing needs the module pointer any more, and the next patch will
      call it from RCU, where the module itself might no longer exist.
      Removing the arg is the safest approach.
      
      This just codifies the use of the module_alloc/module_free pattern
      which ftrace and bpf use.

      module_arch_freeing_init(): new hook for archs before module->module_init freed. · d453cded
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      Archs have been abusing module_free() to clean up their arch-specific
      allocations.  Since module_free() is also (ab)used by BPF and trace code,
      let's keep it to simple allocations, and provide a hook called before
      that.
      
      This means that avr32, ia64, parisc and s390 no longer need to implement
      their own module_free() at all.  avr32 doesn't need module_finalize()
      either.
