      mm: vmalloc: pass additional vm_flags to __vmalloc_node_range() · cb9e3c29
      Andrey Ryabinin 提交于
      For instrumenting global variables KASan will shadow memory backing memory
      for modules.  So on module loading we will need to allocate memory for
      shadow and map it at address in shadow that corresponds to the address
      allocated in module_alloc().
      
      __vmalloc_node_range() could be used for this purpose, except it puts a
      guard hole after allocated area.  Guard hole in shadow memory should be a
      problem because at some future point we might need to have a shadow memory
      at address occupied by guard hole.  So we could fail to allocate shadow
      for module_alloc().
      
      Now we have VM_NO_GUARD flag disabling guard page, so we need to pass into
      __vmalloc_node_range().  Add new parameter 'vm_flags' to
      __vmalloc_node_range() function.

      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.

      [PARISC] only make executable areas executable · d7dd2ff1
      James Bottomley 提交于
      Currently parisc has the whole kernel marked as RWX, meaning any
      kernel page at all is eligible to be executed.  This can cause a
      theoretical problem on systems with combined I/D TLB because the act
      of referencing a page causes a TLB insertion with an executable bit.
      This TLB entry may be used by the CPU as the basis for speculating the
      page into the I-Cache.  If this speculated page is subsequently used
      for a user process, there is the possibility we will get a stale
      I-cache line picked up as the binary executes.
      
      As a point of good practise, only mark actual kernel text pages as
      executable.  The same has to be done for init_text pages, but they're
      converted to data pages (and the I-Cache flushed) when the init memory
      is released.

      modules: Fix module_bug_list list corruption race · 5336377d
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      With all the recent module loading cleanups, we've minimized the code
      that sits under module_mutex, fixing various deadlocks and making it
      possible to do most of the module loading in parallel.
      
      However, that whole conversion totally missed the rather obscure code
      that adds a new module to the list for BUG() handling.  That code was
      doubly obscure because (a) the code itself lives in lib/bugs.c (for
      dubious reasons) and (b) it gets called from the architecture-specific
      "module_finalize()" rather than from generic code.
      
      Calling it from arch-specific code makes no sense what-so-ever to begin
      with, and is now actively wrong since that code isn't protected by the
      module loading lock any more.
      
      So this commit moves the "module_bug_{finalize,cleanup}()" calls away
      from the arch-specific code, and into the generic code - and in the
      process protects it with the module_mutex so that the list operations
      are now safe.
      
      Future fixups:
       - move the module list handling code into kernel/module.c where it
         belongs.
       - get rid of 'module_bug_list' and just use the regular list of modules
         (called 'modules' - imagine that) that we already create and maintain
         for other reasons.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      parisc: fix module loading failure of large kernel modules · c298be74
      Helge Deller 提交于
      On 32bit (and sometimes 64bit) and with big kernel modules like xfs or
      ipv6 the relocation types R_PARISC_PCREL17F and R_PARISC_PCREL22F may
      fail to reach their PLT stub if we only create one big stub array for
      all sections at the beginning of the core or init section.
      
      With this patch we now instead add individual PLT stub entries
      directly in front of the code sections where the stubs are actually
      called. This reduces the distance between the PCREL location and the
      stub entry so that the relocations can be fulfilled.
      
      While calculating the final layout of the kernel module in memory, the
      kernel module loader calls arch_mod_section_prepend() to request the
      to be reserved amount of memory in front of each individual section.
      
      Tested with 32- and 64bit kernels.

      [PARISC] Fix PCREL22F relocation problem for most modules · 6e1b9585
      James Bottomley 提交于
      The new problem, which has been affecting many more modules was that
      our new ioremap really takes chunks out of our vmalloc space.  The net
      result being that any two kernel vmalloc's now have to slot into the
      chunked up space.  So the vmallocs for a modules init and core sectons
      are no longer necessarily contiguous.  Unfortunately, the module loader
      thinks that any internal symbol references should be satisfiable using the
      jump instruction, which isn't true if the symbol is referenced from init
      to core and vmalloc placed them a long way apart.
      
      Fix this by introducing a new stub type for intra module inter sectional
      jumps and using it.
