module: Unify the return value type of try_module_get

2017-04-24T04:13:01Z

The prototypes of try_module_get are different with different macro. When enable module and module unload, it returns bool, but others not. Make the return type for try_module_get consistent across all module config options. Signed-off-by: Gao Feng [jeyu: slightly amended changelog to make it clearer] Signed-off-by: Jessica Yu

locking/lockdep: Handle statically initialized PER_CPU locks properly

2017-03-16T08:57:08Z

If a PER_CPU struct which contains a spin_lock is statically initialized via: DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct foo, bla) = { .lock = __SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED(bla.lock) }; then lockdep assigns a seperate key to each lock because the logic for assigning a key to statically initialized locks is to use the address as the key. With per CPU locks the address is obvioulsy different on each CPU. That's wrong, because all locks should have the same key. To solve this the following modifications are required: 1) Extend the is_kernel/module_percpu_addr() functions to hand back the canonical address of the per CPU address, i.e. the per CPU address minus the per CPU offset. 2) Check the lock address with these functions and if the per CPU check matches use the returned canonical address as the lock key, so all per CPU locks have the same key. 3) Move the static_obj(key) check into look_up_lock_class() so this check can be avoided for statically initialized per CPU locks. That's required because the canonical address fails the static_obj(key) check for obvious reasons.

Pull exception table module split from Paul Gortmaker: "Final extable.h related changes. This completes the separation of exception table content from the module.h header file. This is achieved with the final commit that removes the one line back compatible change that sourced extable.h into the module.h file. The commits are unchanged since January, with the exception of a couple Acks that came in for the last two commits a bit later. The changes have been in linux-next for quite some time[1] and have got widespread arch coverage via toolchains I have and also from additional ones the kbuild bot has. Maintaners of the various arch were Cc'd during the postings to lkml[2] and informed that the intention was to take the remaining arch specific changes and lump them together with the final two non-arch specific changes and submit for this merge window. The ia64 diffstat stands out and probably warrants a mention. In an earlier review, Al Viro made a valid comment that the original header separation of content left something to be desired, and that it get fixed as a part of this change, hence the larger diffstat" * tag 'extable-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux: (21 commits) module.h: remove extable.h include now users have migrated core: migrate exception table users off module.h and onto extable.h cris: migrate exception table users off module.h and onto extable.h hexagon: migrate exception table users off module.h and onto extable.h microblaze: migrate exception table users off module.h and onto extable.h unicore32: migrate exception table users off module.h and onto extable.h score: migrate exception table users off module.h and onto extable.h metag: migrate exception table users off module.h and onto extable.h arc: migrate exception table users off module.h and onto extable.h nios2: migrate exception table users off module.h and onto extable.h sparc: migrate exception table users onto extable.h openrisc: migrate exception table users off module.h and onto extable.h frv: migrate exception table users off module.h and onto extable.h sh: migrate exception table users off module.h and onto extable.h xtensa: migrate exception table users off module.h and onto extable.h mn10300: migrate exception table users off module.h and onto extable.h alpha: migrate exception table users off module.h and onto extable.h arm: migrate exception table users off module.h and onto extable.h m32r: migrate exception table users off module.h and onto extable.h ia64: ensure exception table search users include extable.h ...

module.h: remove extable.h include now users have migrated

With hopefully most/all users of module.h that were looking for exception table functions moved over to the new extable.h header, we can remove the back-compat include that let us transition without introducing build regressions.

arch: Rename CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA and CONFIG_DEBUG_MODULE_RONX

2017-02-07T20:32:52Z

Both of these options are poorly named. The features they provide are necessary for system security and should not be considered debug only.

modversions: treat symbol CRCs as 32 bit quantities

2017-02-03T16:28:25Z

The modversion symbol CRCs are emitted as ELF symbols, which allows us to easily populate the kcrctab sections by relying on the linker to associate each kcrctab slot with the correct value. This has a couple of downsides: - Given that the CRCs are treated as memory addresses, we waste 4 bytes for each CRC on 64 bit architectures, - On architectures that support runtime relocation, a R__RELATIVE relocation entry is emitted for each CRC value, which identifies it as a quantity that requires fixing up based on the actual runtime load offset of the kernel. This results in corrupted CRCs unless we explicitly undo the fixup (and this is currently being handled in the core module code) - Such runtime relocation entries take up 24 bytes of __init space each, resulting in a x8 overhead in [uncompressed] kernel size for CRCs. Switching to explicit 32 bit values on 64 bit architectures fixes most of these issues, given that 32 bit values are not treated as quantities that require fixing up based on the actual runtime load offset. Note that on some ELF64 architectures [such as PPC64], these 32-bit values are still emitted as [absolute] runtime relocatable quantities, even if the value resolves to a build time constant. Since relative relocations are always resolved at build time, this patch enables MODULE_REL_CRCS on powerpc when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, which turns the absolute CRC references into relative references into .rodata where the actual CRC value is stored. So redefine all CRC fields and variables as u32, and redefine the __CRC_SYMBOL() macro for 64 bit builds to emit the CRC reference using inline assembler (which is necessary since 64-bit C code cannot use 32-bit types to hold memory addresses, even if they are ultimately resolved using values that do not exceed 0xffffffff). To avoid potential problems with legacy 32-bit architectures using legacy toolchains, the equivalent C definition of the kcrctab entry is retained for 32-bit architectures.
