kobject: return error code if writing /sys/.../uevent fails

2019-02-12T18:46:02Z

[ Upstream commit df44b479654f62b478c18ee4d8bc4e9f897a9844 ] Propagate error code back to userspace if writing the /sys/.../uevent file fails. Before, the write operation always returned with success, even if we failed to recognize the input string or if we failed to generate the uevent itself. With the error codes properly propagated back to userspace, we are able to react in userspace accordingly by not assuming and awaiting a uevent that is not delivered.

module: exclude SHN_UNDEF symbols from kallsyms api

2018-10-04T00:00:53Z

[ Upstream commit 9f2d1e68cf4d641def734adaccfc3823d3575e6c ] Livepatch modules are special in that we preserve their entire symbol tables in order to be able to apply relocations after module load. The unwanted side effect of this is that undefined (SHN_UNDEF) symbols of livepatch modules are accessible via the kallsyms api and this can confuse symbol resolution in livepatch (klp_find_object_symbol()) and cause subtle bugs in livepatch. Have the module kallsyms api skip over SHN_UNDEF symbols. These symbols are usually not available for normal modules anyway as we cut down their symbol tables to just the core (non-undefined) symbols, so this should really just affect livepatch modules. Note that this patch doesn't affect the display of undefined symbols in /proc/kallsyms.

init: fix false positives in W+X checking

2018-06-20T19:02:57Z

[ Upstream commit ae646f0b9ca135b87bc73ff606ef996c3029780a ] load_module() creates W+X mappings via __vmalloc_node_range() (from layout_and_allocate()->move_module()->module_alloc()) by using PAGE_KERNEL_EXEC. These mappings are later cleaned up via "call_rcu_sched(&freeinit->rcu, do_free_init)" from do_init_module(). This is a problem because call_rcu_sched() queues work, which can be run after debug_checkwx() is run, resulting in a race condition. If hit, the race results in a nasty splat about insecure W+X mappings, which results in a poor user experience as these are not the mappings that debug_checkwx() is intended to catch. This issue is observed on multiple arm64 platforms, and has been artificially triggered on an x86 platform. Address the race by flushing the queued work before running the arch-defined mark_rodata_ro() which then calls debug_checkwx().

module/retpoline: Warn about missing retpoline in module

2018-02-07T19:12:18Z

commit caf7501a1b4ec964190f31f9c3f163de252273b8 There's a risk that a kernel which has full retpoline mitigations becomes vulnerable when a module gets loaded that hasn't been compiled with the right compiler or the right option. To enable detection of that mismatch at module load time, add a module info string "retpoline" at build time when the module was compiled with retpoline support. This only covers compiled C source, but assembler source or prebuilt object files are not checked. If a retpoline enabled kernel detects a non retpoline protected module at load time, print a warning and report it in the sysfs vulnerability file.

module: fix ddebug_remove_module()

2017-07-25T13:08:32Z

ddebug_remove_module() use mod->name to find the ddebug_table of the module and remove it. But dynamic_debug_setup() use the first _ddebug->modname to create ddebug_table for the module. It's ok when the _ddebug->modname is the same with the mod->name. But livepatch module is special, it may contain _ddebugs of other modules, the modname of which is different from the name of livepatch module. So ddebug_remove_module() can't use mod->name to find the right ddebug_table and remove it. It can cause kernel crash when we cat the file /dynamic_debug/control.

This is similar to how task COMMs are recorded (cached at sched_switch), where it is in a table and used on output of the trace and trace_pipe files. - Have ":mod:" be cached when written into set_ftrace_filter.

kernel/module.c: use linux/set_memory.h

2017-07-06T23:24:30Z

This header always exists, so doesn't require an ifdef around its inclusion. When CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SET_MEMORY=y it includes the asm header, otherwise it provides empty versions of the set_memory_xx() routines. The usages of set_memory_xx() are still guarded by CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX.
