      modpost: Fix address calculation in reloc_location() · 731ece41
      Olof Johansson 提交于
      This patch fixes a segfault in modpost that is observed when the gold
      linker is used to link the input objects.
      
      The problem is that reloc_location (modpost.c) is computing the
      address of the relocation target incorrectly. Here, elf->hdr points
      to the beginning of the ELF file in memory, sechdr points to the
      relocation section header, section is the index of the section
      being relocated, and sechdrs[section].sh_offset would be the offset
      of that section, relative to the beginning of the ELF file. Adding
      elf->hdr + sechdrs[section].sh_offset gives you the address of the
      beginning of the section, and adding r->r_offset to that gives you the
      address of the location to be relocated. You do not need to subtract
      sechdrs[section].sh_addr from that -- the result of this is an address
      outside the file, and causes the segfault when addend_386_rel tries to
      dereference it.
      
      This bug is not observed when GNU ld is used to link the inputs. The
      object file ubuntu/omnibook/omnibook.o is the result of an ld -r of
      several other files.  When GNU ld does an ld -r, it sets the vaddr
      field for each section to 0, but gold lays out the section addresses
      sequentially instead:
      
      Section Headers:
       [Nr] Name              Type            Addr     Off    Size   ES Flg Lk Inf Al
       [ 0]                   NULL            00000000 000000 000000 00      0   0  0
       [ 1] .text             PROGBITS        00000000 000034 004794 00  AX  0   0  4
       [ 2] .data             PROGBITS        0000b9d0 0047c8 0009c0 00  WA  0   0  4
       [ 3] .bss              NOBITS          000162f8 005188 00013c 00  WA  0   0  4
       [ 4] .rodata.str1.1    PROGBITS        00004f2d 0052c4 001b1a 01 AMS  0   0  1
       [ 5] .init.text        PROGBITS        00004794 006dde 0005fa 00  AX  0   0  1
       [ 6] .exit.text        PROGBITS        00004d8e 0073d8 00018a 00  AX  0   0  1
        ...
      
      So the bug in the tool remained undiscovered because the section's vaddr
      always happened to be 0.

      It just hit me.
      It's the offset calculation in reloc_location() which overflows:
              return (void *)elf->hdr + sechdrs[section].sh_offset +
                     (r->r_offset - sechdrs[section].sh_addr);
      
      E.g. for the first rodata r entry:
      r->r_offset < sechdrs[section].sh_addr
      and the expression in the parenthesis produces 0xFFFFFFE0 or something
      equally wise.

      kbuild, modpost: Check the section flags, to catch missing "ax"/"aw" · b614a697
      Anders Kaseorg 提交于
      When you put
        .section ".foo"
      in an assembly file instead of
        .section "foo", "ax"
      , one of the possible symptoms is that modpost will see an
      ld-generated section name ".foo.1" in section_rel() or section_rela().
      But this heuristic has two problems: it will miss a bad section that
      has no relocations, and it will incorrectly flag many gcc-generated
      sections as bad when compiling with -ffunction-sections
      -fdata-sections.
      
      On mips it fixes a lot of bogus warnings with gcc 4.4.0 lije this one:
      WARNING: crypto/cryptd.o (.text.T.349): unexpected section name.
      
      So instead of checking whether the section name matches a particular
      pattern, we directly check for a missing SHF_ALLOC in the section
      flags.

      kbuild: fix Module.markers permission error under cygwin · 99e3a1eb
      Cedric Hombourger 提交于
      While building the kernel, we end-up calling modpost with -K and -M
      options for the same file (Modules.markers).  This is resulting in
      modpost's main function calling read_markers() and then write_markers() on
      the same file.
      
      We then have read_markers() mmap'ing the file, and writer_markers()
      opening that same file for writing.
      
      The issue is that read_markers() exits without munmap'ing the file and is
      as a matter holding a reference on Modules.markers.  When write_markers()
      is opening that very same file for writing, we still have a reference on
      it and cygwin (Windows?) is then making fopen() fail with EPERM.
      
      Calling release_file() before exiting read_markers() clears that reference
      (and memory leak) and fopen() then succeeds.
      
      Tested on both cygwin (1.3.22) and Linux.  Also ran modpost within
      valgrind on Linux to make sure that the munmap'ed file was not accessed
      after read_markers()

      module: include other structures in module version check · 8c8ef42a
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      With CONFIG_MODVERSIONS, we version 'struct module' using a dummy
      export, but other things matter too:
      
      1) 'struct modversion_info' determines the layout of the __versions section,
      2) 'struct kernel_param' determines the layout of the __params section,
      3) 'struct kernel_symbol' determines __ksymtab*.
      4) 'struct marker' determines __markers.
      5) 'struct tracepoint' determines __tracepoints.
      
      So we rename 'struct_module' to 'module_layout' and include these in
      the signature.  Now it's general we can add others later on without
      confusion.

      Impact: fix link failure on certain toolchains with specific configs
      
      Recent percpu change made x86_64 split .data.init section into three
      separate segments - data.init, percpu and data.init2.  data.init2 gets
      .data.nosave and .bss.* and is followed by .notes segment.  Depending
      on configuration both segments might contain no data, in which case
      the tool chain makes the section header to contain offset beyond the

      Staging: add TAINT_CRAP flag to drivers/staging modules · a9860bf0
      Greg Kroah-Hartman 提交于
      We need to add a flag for all code that is in the drivers/staging/
      directory to prevent all other kernel developers from worrying about
      issues here, and to notify users that the drivers might not be as good
      as they are normally used to.
      
      Based on code from Andreas Gruenbacher and Jeff Mahoney to provide a
      TAINT flag for the support level of a kernel module in the Novell
      enterprise kernel release.
      
      This is the code that actually modifies the modules, adding the flag to
      any files in the drivers/staging directory.

      I think the problem comes from "markers: fix duplicate modpost entry"
      (commit d35cb360)
      
      Especially :
      
        -   add_marker(mod, marker, fmt);
        +   if (!mod->skip)
        +     add_marker(mod, marker, fmt);
          }
          return;
         fail:
      
      Here is a fix that should take care if this problem.

      We have a case in powerpc in which we want to link some library
      routines with all module objects.  The routines are intended for
      handling out-of-line function call register save/restore so having
      them as EXPORT_SYMBOL() is counter productive (we do also need to
      link the same "library" code into the kernel).
      
      Without this patch a powerpc build would error out and fail
      to build modules with the added register save/restore module.
      
      There were two obvious solutions:
      1) To link the .o file before the modpost stage
      2) To ignore the symbols in modpost
      
      Option 1) was ruled out because we do not have any separate
      linking stage for single file modules.
      
      This patch implements option 2 - and do so only for powerpc.
      
      The symbols we ignore are all undefined symbols named:
