module: fix types of device tables aliases

2017-02-08T08:43:02Z

commit 6301939d97d079f0d3dbe71e750f4daf5d39fc33 upstream. MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() macro used to create aliases to device tables. Normally alias should have the same type as aliased symbol. Device tables are arrays, so they have 'struct type##_device_id[x]' types. Alias created by MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() will have non-array type - 'struct type##_device_id'. This inconsistency confuses compiler, it could make a wrong assumption about variable's size which leads KASan to produce a false positive report about out of bounds access. For every global variable compiler calls __asan_register_globals() passing information about global variable (address, size, size with redzone, name ...) __asan_register_globals() poison symbols redzone to detect possible out of bounds accesses. When symbol has an alias __asan_register_globals() will be called as for symbol so for alias. Compiler determines size of variable by size of variable's type. Alias and symbol have the same address, so if alias have the wrong size part of memory that actually belongs to the symbol could be poisoned as redzone of alias symbol. By fixing type of alias symbol we will fix size of it, so __asan_register_globals() will not poison valid memory.

modules: fix longstanding /proc/kallsyms vs module insertion race.

2016-04-14T00:44:39Z

[ Upstream commit 8244062ef1e54502ef55f54cced659913f244c3e ] For CONFIG_KALLSYMS, we keep two symbol tables and two string tables. There's one full copy, marked SHF_ALLOC and laid out at the end of the module's init section. There's also a cut-down version that only contains core symbols and strings, and lives in the module's core section. After module init (and before we free the module memory), we switch the mod->symtab, mod->num_symtab and mod->strtab to point to the core versions. We do this under the module_mutex. However, kallsyms doesn't take the module_mutex: it uses preempt_disable() and rcu tricks to walk through the modules, because it's used in the oops path. It's also used in /proc/kallsyms. There's nothing atomic about the change of these variables, so we can get the old (larger!) num_symtab and the new symtab pointer; in fact this is what I saw when trying to reproduce. By grouping these variables together, we can use a carefully-dereferenced pointer to ensure we always get one or the other (the free of the module init section is already done in an RCU callback, so that's safe). We allocate the init one at the end of the module init section, and keep the core one inside the struct module itself (it could also have been allocated at the end of the module core, but that's probably overkill).

module: return bool from within_module*()

2014-07-27T11:22:44Z

The within_module*() functions return only true or false. Let's use bool as the return type. Note that it should not change kABI because these are inline functions. Signed-off-by: Petr Mladek Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

module: add within_module() function

2014-07-27T11:22:43Z

It is just a small optimization that allows to replace few occurrences of within_module_init() || within_module_core() with a single call. Signed-off-by: Petr Mladek Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

module: remove MODULE_GENERIC_TABLE

2014-03-13T01:41:00Z

MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() calles MODULE_GENERIC_TABLE(); make it do the work directly. This also removes a wart introduced in the last patch, where the alias is defined to be an unknown struct type "struct type##__##name##_device_id" instead of "struct type##_device_id" (it's an extern so GCC doesn't care, but it's wrong). The other user of MODULE_GENERIC_TABLE (ISAPNP_CARD_TABLE) is unused, so delete it. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

module: allow multiple calls to MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() per module

2014-03-13T01:41:00Z

Commit 78551277e4df5: "Input: i8042 - add PNP modaliases" had a bug, where the second call to MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() overrode the first resulting in not all the modaliases being exposed. This fixes the problem by including the name of the device_id table in the __mod_*_device_table alias, allowing us to export several device_id tables per module.

tracing/module: Replace include of tracepoint.h with jump_label.h in module.h

2014-03-07T15:06:09Z

There's nothing in the module.h header that requires tracepoint.h to be included, and there may be cases that tracepoint.h may need to include module.h, which will cause recursive header issues. But module.h requires seeing HAVE_JUMP_LABEL which is set in jump_label.h which it just coincidentally gets from tracepoint.h.
