module: remove warning about waiting module removal.

2014-06-07T17:28:11Z

commit 79465d2fd48e68940c2bdecddbdecd45bbba06fe upstream. We remove the waiting module removal in commit 3f2b9c9cdf38 (September 2013), but it turns out that modprobe in kmod (< version 16) was asking for waiting module removal. No one noticed since modprobe would check for 0 usage immediately before trying to remove the module, and the race is unlikely. However, it means that anyone running old (but not ancient) kmod versions is hitting the printk designed to see if anyone was running "rmmod -w". All reports so far have been false positives, so remove the warning.

ftrace/module: Hardcode ftrace_module_init() call into load_module()

2014-06-07T17:28:07Z

commit a949ae560a511fe4e3adf48fa44fefded93e5c2b upstream. A race exists between module loading and enabling of function tracer. CPU 1 CPU 2 ----- ----- load_module() module->state = MODULE_STATE_COMING register_ftrace_function() mutex_lock(&ftrace_lock); ftrace_startup() update_ftrace_function(); ftrace_arch_code_modify_prepare() set_all_module_text_rw(); ftrace_arch_code_modify_post_process() set_all_module_text_ro(); [ here all module text is set to RO, including the module that is loading!! ] blocking_notifier_call_chain(MODULE_STATE_COMING); ftrace_init_module() [ tries to modify code, but it's RO, and fails! ftrace_bug() is called] When this race happens, ftrace_bug() will produces a nasty warning and all of the function tracing features will be disabled until reboot. The simple solution is to treate module load the same way the core kernel is treated at boot. To hardcode the ftrace function modification of converting calls to mcount into nops. This is done in init/main.c there's no reason it could not be done in load_module(). This gives a better control of the changes and doesn't tie the state of the module to its notifiers as much. Ftrace is special, it needs to be treated as such. The reason this would work, is that the ftrace_module_init() would be called while the module is in MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED, which is ignored by the set_all_module_text_ro() call.

kernel/module.c: use pr_foo()

2013-11-13T03:09:34Z

kernel/module.c uses a mix of printk(KERN_foo and pr_foo(). Convert it all to pr_foo and make the offered cleanups. Not sure what to do about the printk(KERN_DEFAULT). We don't have a pr_default().

kernel: add support for init_array constructors

2013-10-17T04:35:17Z

This adds the .init_array section as yet another section with constructors. This is needed because gcc could add __gcov_init calls to .init_array or .ctors section, depending on gcc (and binutils) version . v2: - reuse mod->ctors for .init_array section for modules, because gcc uses .ctors or .init_array, but not both at the same time v3: - fail to load if that does happen somehow.

module: remove rmmod --wait option.

2013-09-23T06:14:58Z

The option to wait for a module reference count to reach zero was in the initial module implementation, but it was never supported in modprobe (you had to use rmmod --wait). After discussion with Lucas, It has been deprecated (with a 10 second sleep) in kmod for the last year. This finally removes it: the flag will evoke a printk warning and a normal (non-blocking) remove attempt. Cc: Lucas De Marchi Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

module: Fix mod->mkobj.kobj potentially freed too early

2013-09-03T07:05:47Z

DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE helps to find the issue attached below. After some investigation, it seems the reason is: The mod->mkobj.kobj(ffffffffa01600d0 below) is freed together with mod itself in free_module(). However, its children still hold references to it, as the delay caused by DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE. So when the child(holders below) tries to decrease the reference count to its parent in kobject_del(), BUG happens as it tries to access already freed memory. This patch tries to fix it by waiting for the mod->mkobj.kobj to be really released in the module removing process (and some error code paths).
