livepatch: Use the default ftrace_ops instead of REGS when ARGS is available

2020-11-13T17:15:28Z

When CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS is available, the ftrace call will be able to set the ip of the calling function. This will improve the performance of live kernel patching where it does not need all the regs to be stored just to change the instruction pointer. If all archs that support live kernel patching also support HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS, then the architecture specific function klp_arch_set_pc() could be made generic. It is possible that an arch can support HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS but not HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS and then have access to live patching.

ftrace: Have the callbacks receive a struct ftrace_regs instead of pt_regs

2020-11-13T17:14:55Z

In preparation to have arguments of a function passed to callbacks attached to functions as default, change the default callback prototype to receive a struct ftrace_regs as the forth parameter instead of a pt_regs. For callbacks that set the FL_SAVE_REGS flag in their ftrace_ops flags, they will now need to get the pt_regs via a ftrace_get_regs() helper call. If this is called by a callback that their ftrace_ops did not have a FL_SAVE_REGS flag set, it that helper function will return NULL. This will allow the ftrace_regs to hold enough just to get the parameters and stack pointer, but without the worry that callbacks may have a pt_regs that is not completely filled.

ftrace: Add recording of functions that caused recursion

2020-11-06T13:42:26Z

This adds CONFIG_FTRACE_RECORD_RECURSION that will record to a file "recursed_functions" all the functions that caused recursion while a callback to the function tracer was running.

livepatch: Trigger WARNING if livepatch function fails due to recursion

2020-11-06T13:41:47Z

If for some reason a function is called that triggers the recursion detection of live patching, trigger a warning. By not executing the live patch code, it is possible that the old unpatched function will be called placing the system into an unknown state.

livepatch/ftrace: Add recursion protection to the ftrace callback

2020-11-06T13:36:23Z

If a ftrace callback does not supply its own recursion protection and does not set the RECURSION_SAFE flag in its ftrace_ops, then ftrace will make a helper trampoline to do so before calling the callback instead of just calling the callback directly. The default for ftrace_ops is going to change. It will expect that handlers provide their own recursion protection, unless its ftrace_ops states otherwise.

kernel/: fix repeated words in comments

Fix multiple occurrences of duplicated words in kernel/. Fix one typo/spello on the same line as a duplicate word. Change one instance of "the the" to "that the".

x86/module: Use text_mutex in apply_relocate_add()

2020-05-07T22:12:43Z

Now that the livepatch code no longer needs the text_mutex for changing module permissions, move its usage down to apply_relocate_add(). Note the s390 version of apply_relocate_add() doesn't need to use the text_mutex because it already uses s390_kernel_write_lock, which accomplishes the same task.

livepatch: Prevent module-specific KLP rela sections from referencing vmlinux symbols

2020-05-07T22:12:42Z

Prevent module-specific KLP rela sections from referencing vmlinux symbols. This helps prevent ordering issues with module special section initializations. Presumably such symbols are exported and normal relas can be used instead.
