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. (Includes fix for the Tony Luck-found Linus-diagnosed failure path error). Signed-off-by: NRusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

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.

It's possible for get_task_cred() as it currently stands to 'corrupt' a set of credentials by incrementing their usage count after their replacement by the task being accessed. What happens is that get_task_cred() can race with commit_creds(): TASK_1 TASK_2 RCU_CLEANER -->get_task_cred(TASK_2) rcu_read_lock() __cred = __task_cred(TASK_2) -->commit_creds() old_cred = TASK_2->real_cred TASK_2->real_cred = ... put_cred(old_cred) call_rcu(old_cred) [__cred->usage == 0] get_cred(__cred) [__cred->usage == 1] rcu_read_unlock() -->put_cred_rcu() [__cred->usage == 1] panic() However, since a tasks credentials are generally not changed very often, we can reasonably make use of a loop involving reading the creds pointer and using atomic_inc_not_zero() to attempt to increment it if it hasn't already hit zero. If successful, we can safely return the credentials in the knowledge that, even if the task we're accessing has released them, they haven't gone to the RCU cleanup code. We then change task_state() in procfs to use get_task_cred() rather than calling get_cred() on the result of __task_cred(), as that suffers from the same problem. Without this change, a BUG_ON in __put_cred() or in put_cred_rcu() can be tripped when it is noticed that the usage count is not zero as it ought to be, for example: kernel BUG at kernel/cred.c:168! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP last sysfs file: /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run CPU 0 Pid: 2436, comm: master Not tainted 2.6.33.3-85.fc13.x86_64 #1 0HR330/OptiPlex 745 RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff81069881>] [<ffffffff81069881>] __put_cred+0xc/0x45 RSP: 0018:ffff88019e7e9eb8 EFLAGS: 00010202 RAX: 0000000000000001 RBX: ffff880161514480 RCX: 00000000ffffffff RDX: 00000000ffffffff RSI: ffff880140c690c0 RDI: ffff880140c690c0 RBP: ffff88019e7e9eb8 R08: 00000000000000d0 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: 0000000000000001 R11: 0000000000000040 R12: ffff880140c690c0 R13: ffff88019e77aea0 R14: 00007fff336b0a5c R15: 0000000000000001 FS: 00007f12f50d97c0(0000) GS:ffff880007400000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 00007f8f461bc000 CR3: 00000001b26ce000 CR4: 00000000000006f0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Process master (pid: 2436, threadinfo ffff88019e7e8000, task ffff88019e77aea0) Stack: ffff88019e7e9ec8 ffffffff810698cd ffff88019e7e9ef8 ffffffff81069b45 <0> ffff880161514180 ffff880161514480 ffff880161514180 0000000000000000 <0> ffff88019e7e9f28 ffffffff8106aace 0000000000000001 0000000000000246 Call Trace: [<ffffffff810698cd>] put_cred+0x13/0x15 [<ffffffff81069b45>] commit_creds+0x16b/0x175 [<ffffffff8106aace>] set_current_groups+0x47/0x4e [<ffffffff8106ac89>] sys_setgroups+0xf6/0x105 [<ffffffff81009b02>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Code: 48 8d 71 ff e8 7e 4e 15 00 85 c0 78 0b 8b 75 ec 48 89 df e8 ef 4a 15 00 48 83 c4 18 5b c9 c3 55 8b 07 8b 07 48 89 e5 85 c0 74 04 <0f> 0b eb fe 65 48 8b 04 25 00 cc 00 00 48 3b b8 58 04 00 00 75 RIP [<ffffffff81069881>] __put_cred+0xc/0x45 RSP <ffff88019e7e9eb8> ---[ end trace df391256a100ebdd ]--- Signed-off-by: NDavid Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Acked-by: NJiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
