      livepatch: make object/func-walking helpers more robust · f09d9086
      Miroslav Benes 提交于
      Current object-walking helper checks the presence of obj->funcs to
      determine the end of objs array in klp_object structure. This is
      somewhat fragile because one can easily forget about funcs definition
      during livepatch creation. In such a case the livepatch module is
      successfully loaded and all objects after the incorrect one are omitted.
      This is very confusing. Let's make the helper more robust and check also
      for the other external member, name. Thus the helper correctly stops on
      an empty item of the array. We need to have a check for obj->funcs in
      klp_init_object() to make it work.
      
      The same applies to a func-walking helper.
      
      As a benefit we'll check for new_func member definition during the
      livepatch initialization. There is no such check anywhere in the code
      now.

      livepatch: reuse module loader code to write relocations · 425595a7
      Jessica Yu 提交于
      Reuse module loader code to write relocations, thereby eliminating the need
      for architecture specific relocation code in livepatch. Specifically, reuse
      the apply_relocate_add() function in the module loader to write relocations
      instead of duplicating functionality in livepatch's arch-dependent
      klp_write_module_reloc() function.
      
      In order to accomplish this, livepatch modules manage their own relocation
      sections (marked with the SHF_RELA_LIVEPATCH section flag) and
      livepatch-specific symbols (marked with SHN_LIVEPATCH symbol section
      index). To apply livepatch relocation sections, livepatch symbols
      referenced by relocs are resolved and then apply_relocate_add() is called
      to apply those relocations.
      
      In addition, remove x86 livepatch relocation code and the s390
      klp_write_module_reloc() function stub. They are no longer needed since
      relocation work has been offloaded to module loader.
      
      Lastly, mark the module as a livepatch module so that the module loader
      canappropriately identify and initialize it.

      livepatch: add old_sympos as disambiguator field to klp_func · b2b018ef
      Chris J Arges 提交于
      Currently, patching objects with duplicate symbol names fail because the
      creation of the sysfs function directory collides with the previous
      attempt. Appending old_addr to the function name is problematic as it
      reveals the address of the function being patch to a normal user. Using
      the symbol's occurrence in kallsyms to postfix the function name in the
      sysfs directory solves the issue of having consistent unique names and
      ensuring that the address is not exposed to a normal user.
      
      In addition, using the symbol position as the user's method to disambiguate
      symbols instead of addr allows for disambiguating symbols in modules as
      well for both function addresses and for relocs. This also simplifies much
      of the code. Special handling for kASLR is no longer needed and can be
      removed. The klp_find_verify_func_addr function can be replaced by
      klp_find_object_symbol, and klp_verify_vmlinux_symbol and its callback can
      be removed completely.
      
      In cases of duplicate symbols, old_sympos will be used to disambiguate
      instead of old_addr. By default old_sympos will be 0, and patching will
      only succeed if the symbol is unique. Specifying a positive value will
      ensure that occurrence of the symbol in kallsyms for the patched object
      will be used for patching if it is valid.
      
      In addition, make old_addr an internal structure field not to be specified
      by the user. Finally, remove klp_find_verify_func_addr as it can be
      replaced by klp_find_object_symbol directly.
      
      Support for symbol position disambiguation for relocations is added in the
      next patch in this series.

      livepatch: Prevent patch inconsistencies if the coming module notifier fails · 36e505c1
      Minfei Huang 提交于
      The previous patches can be applied, once the corresponding module is
      loaded. In general, the patch will do relocation (if necessary) and
      obtain/verify function address before we start to enable patch.
      
      There are three different situations in which the coming module notifier
      can fail:
      
      1) relocations are not applied for some reason. In this case kallsyms
      for module symbol is not called at all. The patch is not applied to the
      module. If the user disable and enable patch again, there is possible
      bug in klp_enable_func. If the user specified func->old_addr for some
      function in the module (and he shouldn't do that, but nevertheless) our
      warning would not catch it, ftrace will reject to register the handler
      because of wrong address or will register the handler for wrong address.
      
      2) relocations are applied successfully, but kallsyms lookup fails. In
      this case func->old_addr can be correct for all previous lookups, 0 for
      current failed one, and "unspecified" for the rest. If we undergo the
      same scenario as in 1, the behaviour differs for three cases, but the
      patch is not enabled anyway.
      
      3) the object is initialized, but klp_enable_object fails in the
      notifier due to possible ftrace error. Since it is improbable that
      ftrace would heal itself in the future, we would get those errors
      everytime the patch is enabled.
      
      In order to fix above situations, we can make obj->mod to NULL, if the
      coming modified notifier fails.

      livepatch: x86: make kASLR logic more accurate · 5d4351ba
      Jiri Kosina 提交于
      We give up old_addr hint from the coming patch module in cases when kernel load
      base has been randomized (as in such case, the coming module has no idea about
      the exact randomization offset).
      
      We are currently too pessimistic, and give up immediately as soon as
      CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE is set; this doesn't however directly imply that the
      load base has actually been randomized. There are config options that
      disable kASLR (such as hibernation), user could have disabled kaslr on
      kernel command-line, etc.
      
      The loader propagates the information whether kernel has been randomized
      through bootparams. This allows us to have the condition more accurate.
      
      On top of that, it seems unnecessary to give up old_addr hints even if
      randomization is active. The relocation offset can be computed using
      kaslr_ofsset(), and therefore old_addr can be adjusted accordingly.

      livepatch: Fix subtle race with coming and going modules · 8cb2c2dc
      Petr Mladek 提交于
      There is a notifier that handles live patches for coming and going modules.
      It takes klp_mutex lock to avoid races with coming and going patches but
      it does not keep the lock all the time. Therefore the following races are
      possible:
      
        1. The notifier is called sometime in STATE_MODULE_COMING. The module
           is visible by find_module() in this state all the time. It means that
           new patch can be registered and enabled even before the notifier is
           called. It might create wrong order of stacked patches, see below
           for an example.
      
         2. New patch could still see the module in the GOING state even after
            the notifier has been called. It will try to initialize the related
            object structures but the module could disappear at any time. There
            will stay mess in the structures. It might even cause an invalid
            memory access.
      
      This patch solves the problem by adding a boolean variable into struct module.
      The value is true after the coming and before the going handler is called.
      New patches need to be applied when the value is true and they need to ignore
      the module when the value is false.
      
      Note that we need to know state of all modules on the system. The races are
      related to new patches. Therefore we do not know what modules will get
      patched.
      
      Also note that we could not simply ignore going modules. The code from the
      module could be called even in the GOING state until mod->exit() finishes.
      If we start supporting patches with semantic changes between function
      calls, we need to apply new patches to any still usable code.
      See below for an example.
      
      Finally note that the patch solves only the situation when a new patch is
      registered. There are no such problems when the patch is being removed.
      It does not matter who disable the patch first, whether the normal
      disable_patch() or the module notifier. There is nothing to do
      once the patch is disabled.
      
      Alternative solutions:
      ======================
      
      + reject new patches when a patched module is coming or going; this is ugly
      
      + wait with adding new patch until the module leaves the COMING and GOING
        states; this might be dangerous and complicated; we would need to release
        kgr_lock in the middle of the patch registration to avoid a deadlock
        with the coming and going handlers; also we might need a waitqueue for
        each module which seems to be even bigger overhead than the boolean
      
      + stop modules from entering COMING and GOING states; wait until modules
        leave these states when they are already there; looks complicated; we would
        need to ignore the module that asked to stop the others to avoid a deadlock;
        also it is unclear what to do when two modules asked to stop others and
        both are in COMING state (situation when two new patches are applied)
      
      + always register/enable new patches and fix up the potential mess (registered
        patches order) in klp_module_init(); this is nasty and prone to regressions
        in the future development
      
      + add another MODULE_STATE where the kallsyms are visible but the module is not
        used yet; this looks too complex; the module states are checked on "many"
        locations
      
      Example of patch stacking breakage:
      ===================================
      
      The notifier could _not_ _simply_ ignore already initialized module objects.
      For example, let's have three patches (P1, P2, P3) for functions a() and b()
      where a() is from vmcore and b() is from a module M. Something like:
      
      	a()	b()
      P1	a1()	b1()
      P2	a2()	b2()
      P3	a3()	b3(3)
      
      If you load the module M after all patches are registered and enabled.
      The ftrace ops for function a() and b() has listed the functions in this
      order:
      
      	ops_a->func_stack -> list(a3,a2,a1)
      	ops_b->func_stack -> list(b3,b2,b1)
      
      , so the pointer to b3() is the first and will be used.
      
      Then you might have the following scenario. Let's start with state when patches
      P1 and P2 are registered and enabled but the module M is not loaded. Then ftrace
      ops for b() does not exist. Then we get into the following race:
      
      CPU0					CPU1
      
      load_module(M)
      
        complete_formation()
      
        mod->state = MODULE_STATE_COMING;
        mutex_unlock(&module_mutex);
      
      					klp_register_patch(P3);
      					klp_enable_patch(P3);
      
      					# STATE 1
      
        klp_module_notify(M)
          klp_module_notify_coming(P1);
          klp_module_notify_coming(P2);
          klp_module_notify_coming(P3);
      
      					# STATE 2
      
      The ftrace ops for a() and b() then looks:
      
        STATE1:
      
      	ops_a->func_stack -> list(a3,a2,a1);
      	ops_b->func_stack -> list(b3);
      
        STATE2:
      	ops_a->func_stack -> list(a3,a2,a1);
      	ops_b->func_stack -> list(b2,b1,b3);
      
      therefore, b2() is used for the module but a3() is used for vmcore
      because they were the last added.
      
      Example of the race with going modules:
      =======================================
      
      CPU0					CPU1
      
      delete_module()  #SYSCALL
      
         try_stop_module()
           mod->state = MODULE_STATE_GOING;
      
         mutex_unlock(&module_mutex);
      
      					klp_register_patch()
      					klp_enable_patch()
      
      					#save place to switch universe
      
      					b()     # from module that is going
      					  a()   # from core (patched)
      
         mod->exit();
      
      Note that the function b() can be called until we call mod->exit().
      
      If we do not apply patch against b() because it is in MODULE_STATE_GOING,
      it will call patched a() with modified semantic and things might get wrong.
