layout_and_allocate() does everything up to and including the final struct module placement inside the allocated module memory. We have to store the symbol layout information in our struct load_info though. This avoids the nasty code we had before where 'mod' pointed first to the version inside the temporary allocation containing the entire file, then later was moved to point to the real struct module: now the main code only ever sees the final module address.

Andrew had the sole pleasure of tickling this bug in linux-next; when we set up "info->strtab" it's pointing into the temporary copy of the module. For most uses that is fine, but kallsyms keeps a pointer around during module load (inside mod->strtab). If we oops for some reason inside a module's init function, kallsyms will use the mod->strtab pointer into the now-freed temporary module copy. (Later oopses work fine: after init we overwrite mod->strtab to point to a compacted core-only strtab).

Btw, here's a patch that _looks_ large, but it really pretty trivial, and sets things up so that it would be way easier to split off pieces of the module loading. The reason it looks large is that it creates a "module_info" structure that contains all the module state that we're building up while loading, instead of having individual variables for all the indices etc. So the patch ends up being large, because every "symindex" access instead becomes "info.index.sym" etc. That may be a few characters longer, but it then means that we can just pass a pointer to that "info" structure around. and let all the pieces fill it in very naturally. As an example of that, the patch also moves the initialization of all those convenience variables into a "setup_module_info()" function. And at this point it really does become very natural to start to peel off some of the error labels and move them into the helper functions - now the "truncated" case is gone, and is handled inside that setup function instead. So maybe you don't like this approach, and it does make the variable accesses a bit longer, but I don't think unreadably so. And the patch really does look big and scary, but there really should be absolutely no semantic changes - most of it was a trivial and mindless rename. In fact, it was so mindless that I on purpose kept the existing helper functions looking like this: - err = check_modinfo(mod, sechdrs, infoindex, versindex); + err = check_modinfo(mod, info.sechdrs, info.index.info, info.index.vers); rather than changing them to just take the "info" pointer. IOW, a second phase (if you think the approach is ok) would change that calling convention to just do err = check_modinfo(mod, &info); (and same for "layout_sections()", "layout_symtabs()" etc.) Similarly, while right now it makes things _look_ bigger, with things like this: versindex = find_sec(hdr, sechdrs, secstrings, "__versions"); becoming info->index.vers = find_sec(info->hdr, info->sechdrs, info->secstrings, "__versions"); in the new "setup_module_info()" function, that's again just a result of it being a search-and-replace patch. By using the 'info' pointer, we could just change the 'find_sec()' interface so that it ends up being info->index.vers = find_sec(info, "__versions"); instead, and then we'd actually have a shorter and more readable line. So for a lot of those mindless variable name expansions there's would be room for separate cleanups. I didn't move quite everything in there - if we do this to layout_symtabs, for example, we'd want to move the percpu, symoffs, stroffs, *strmap variables to be fields in that module_info structure too. But that's a much smaller patch, I moved just the really core stuff that is currently being set up and used in various parts. But even in this rough form, it removes close to 70 lines from that function (but adds 22 lines overall, of course - the structure definition, the helper function declarations and call-sites etc etc).

And now that I'm looking at that call-chain (to see if it would make sense to use some other more specific lock - doesn't look like it: all the readers are using RCU and this is the only writer), I also give you this trivial one-liner. It changes each_symbol() to not put that constant array on the stack, resulting in changing movq $C.388.31095, %rsi #, tmp85 subq $376, %rsp #, movq %rdi, %rbx # fn, fn leaq -208(%rbp), %rdi #, tmp84 movq %rbx, %rdx # fn, rep movsl xorl %esi, %esi # leaq -208(%rbp), %rdi #, tmp87 movq %r12, %rcx # data, call each_symbol_in_section.clone.0 # into xorl %esi, %esi # subq $216, %rsp #, movq %rdi, %rbx # fn, fn movq $arr.31078, %rdi #, call each_symbol_in_section.clone.0 # which is not so much about being obviously shorter and simpler because we don't unnecessarily copy that constant array around onto the stack, but also about having a much smaller stack footprint (376 vs 216 bytes - see the update of 'rsp').

Here's a second one. It's slightly less trivial - since we now have error cases - and equally untested so it may well be totally broken.

Problem: it's hard to avoid an init routine stumbling over a request_module these days. And it's not clear it's always a bad idea: for example, a module like kvm with dynamic dependencies on kvm-intel or kvm-amd would be neater if it could simply request_module the right one. In this particular case, it's libcrc32c: libcrc32c_mod_init crypto_alloc_shash crypto_alloc_tfm crypto_find_alg crypto_alg_mod_lookup crypto_larval_lookup request_module If another module is waiting inside resolve_symbol() for libcrc32c to finish initializing (ie. bne2 depends on libcrc32c) then it does so holding the module lock, and our request_module() can't make progress until that is released. Waiting inside resolve_symbol() without the lock isn't all that hard: we just need to pass the -EBUSY up the call chain so we can sleep where we don't hold the lock. Error reporting is a bit trickier: we need to copy the name of the unfinished module before releasing the lock. Other notes: 1) This also fixes a theoretical issue where a weak dependency would allow symbol version mismatches to be ignored. 2) We rename use_module to ref_module to make life easier for the only external user (the out-of-tree ksplice patches).

It disabled preempt so it was "safe", but nothing stops another module slipping in before this module is added to the global list now we don't hold the lock the whole time. So we check this just after we check for duplicate modules, and just before we put the module in the global list. (find_symbol finds symbols in coming and going modules, too).

I think Rusty may have made the lock a bit _too_ finegrained there, and didn't add it to some places that needed it. It looks, for example, like PATCH 1/2 actually drops the lock in places where it's needed ("find_module()" is documented to need it, but now load_module() didn't hold it at all when it did the find_module()). Rather than adding a new "module_loading" list, I think we should be able to just use the existing "modules" list, and just fix up the locking a bit. In fact, maybe we could just move the "look up existing module" a bit later - optimistically assuming that the module doesn't exist, and then just undoing the work if it turns out that we were wrong, just before adding ourselves to the list.

由 Linus Torvalds 提交于
When adding a module that depends on another one, we used to create a one-way list of "modules_which_use_me", so that module unloading could see who needs a module. It's actually quite simple to make that list go both ways: so that we not only can see "who uses me", but also see a list of modules that are "used by me". In fact, we always wanted that list in "module_unload_free()": when we unload a module, we want to also release all the other modules that are used by that module. But because we didn't have that list, we used to first iterate over all modules, and then iterate over each "used by me" list of that module. By making the list two-way, we simplify module_unload_free(), and it allows for some trivial fixes later too.

Dropping the module lock and re-taking it deep in the call-chain is definitely not the right thing to do.

This fixes "gave up waiting for init of module libcrc32c." which happened at boot time due to multiple parallel module loads. The problem was a deadlock: we wait for a module to finish initializing, but we keep the module_lock mutex so it can't complete. In particular, this could reasonably happen if a module does a request_module() in its initialization routine. So we change use_module() to return an errno rather than a bool, and if it's -EBUSY we drop the lock and wait in the caller, then reaquire the lock.

Reimplement stop_machine using cpu_stop. As cpu stoppers are guaranteed to be available for all online cpus, stop_machine_create/destroy() are no longer necessary and removed. With resource management and synchronization handled by cpu_stop, the new implementation is much simpler. Asking the cpu_stop to execute the stop_cpu() state machine on all online cpus with cpu hotplug disabled is enough. stop_machine itself doesn't need to manage any global resources anymore, so all per-instance information is rolled into struct stop_machine_data and the mutex and all static data variables are removed. The previous implementation created and destroyed RT workqueues as necessary which made stop_machine() calls highly expensive on very large machines. According to Dimitri Sivanich, preventing the dynamic creation/destruction makes booting faster more than twice on very large machines. cpu_stop resources are preallocated for all online cpus and should have the same effect.

由 Nick Piggin 提交于
Module refcounting is implemented with a per-cpu counter for speed. However there is a race when tallying the counter where a reference may be taken by one CPU and released by another. Reference count summation may then see the decrement without having seen the previous increment, leading to lower than expected count. A module which never has its actual reference drop below 1 may return a reference count of 0 due to this race. Module removal generally runs under stop_machine, which prevents this race causing bugs due to removal of in-use modules. However there are other real bugs in module.c code and driver code (module_refcount is exported) where the callers do not run under stop_machine. Fix this by maintaining running per-cpu counters for the number of module refcount increments and the number of refcount decrements. The increments are tallied after the decrements, so any decrement seen will always have its corresponding increment counted. The final refcount is the difference of the total increments and decrements, preventing a low-refcount from being returned.
