dyndbg: gather __dyndbg[] state into struct _ddebug_info

2022-09-07T15:04:48Z

This new struct composes the linker provided (vector,len) section, and provides a place to add other __dyndbg[] state-data later: descs - the vector of descriptors in __dyndbg section. num_descs - length of the data/section. Use it, in several different ways, as follows: In lib/dynamic_debug.c: ddebug_add_module(): Alter params-list, replacing 2 args (array,index) with a struct _ddebug_info * containing them both, with room for expansion. This helps future-proof the function prototype against the looming addition of class-map info into the dyndbg-state, by providing a place to add more member fields later. NB: later add static struct _ddebug_info builtins_state declaration, not needed yet. ddebug_add_module() is called in 2 contexts: In dynamic_debug_init(), declare, init a struct _ddebug_info di auto-var to use as a cursor. Then iterate over the prdbg blocks of the builtin modules, and update the di cursor before calling _add_module for each. Its called from kernel/module/main.c:load_info() for each loaded module: In internal.h, alter struct load_info, replacing the dyndbg array,len fields with an embedded _ddebug_info containing them both; and populate its members in find_module_sections(). The 2 calling contexts differ in that _init deals with contiguous subranges of __dyndbgs[] section, packed together, while loadable modules are added one at a time. So rename ddebug_add_module() into outer/__inner fns, call __inner from _init, and provide the offset into the builtin __dyndbgs[] where the module's prdbgs reside. The cursor provides start, len of the subrange for each. The offset will be used later to pack the results of builtin __dyndbg_sites[] de-duplication, and is 0 and unneeded for loadable modules, Note: kernel/module/main.c includes for struct _ddeubg_info. This might be prone to include loops, since its also included by printk.h. Nothing has broken in robot-land on this. cc: Luis Chamberlain Signed-off-by: Jim Cromie Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220904214134.408619-12-jim.cromie@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

module: Modify module_flags() to accept show_state argument

2022-07-15T00:40:23Z

No functional change. With this patch a given module's state information (i.e. 'mod->state') can be omitted from the specified buffer. Please note that this is in preparation to include the last unloaded module's taint flag(s), if available. Signed-off-by: Aaron Tomlin Signed-off-by: Luis Chamberlain

module: Fix selfAssignment cppcheck warning

cppcheck reports the following warnings: kernel/module/main.c:1455:26: warning: Redundant assignment of 'mod->core_layout.size' to itself.

Transform strict_align() macro into an inline function. It will allow type checking and avoid the selfAssignment warning.

module: Introduce module unload taint tracking

2022-05-12T17:29:41Z

Currently, only the initial module that tainted the kernel is recorded e.g. when an out-of-tree module is loaded. The purpose of this patch is to allow the kernel to maintain a record of each unloaded module that taints the kernel. So, in addition to displaying a list of linked modules (see print_modules()) e.g. in the event of a detected bad page, unloaded modules that carried a taint/or taints are displayed too. A tainted module unload count is maintained. The number of tracked modules is not fixed. This feature is disabled by default. Signed-off-by: Aaron Tomlin Signed-off-by: Luis Chamberlain

module: Move module_assert_mutex_or_preempt() to internal.h

2022-05-12T17:29:41Z

No functional change. This patch migrates module_assert_mutex_or_preempt() to internal.h. So, the aforementiond function can be used outside of main/or core module code yet will remain restricted for internal use only. Signed-off-by: Aaron Tomlin Signed-off-by: Luis Chamberlain

module: Make module_flags_taint() accept a module's taints bitmap and usable outside core code

2022-05-12T17:29:41Z

No functional change. The purpose of this patch is to modify module_flags_taint() to accept a module's taints bitmap as a parameter and modifies all users accordingly. Furthermore, it is now possible to access a given module's taint flags data outside of non-essential code yet does remain for internal use only. This is in preparation for module unload taint tracking support. Signed-off-by: Aaron Tomlin Signed-off-by: Luis Chamberlain

module: Add CONFIG_ARCH_WANTS_MODULES_DATA_IN_VMALLOC

2022-04-05T15:43:05Z

Add CONFIG_ARCH_WANTS_MODULES_DATA_IN_VMALLOC to allow architectures to request having modules data in vmalloc area instead of module area. This is required on powerpc book3s/32 in order to set data non executable, because it is not possible to set executability on page basis, this is done per 256 Mbytes segments. The module area has exec right, vmalloc area has noexec. This can also be useful on other powerpc/32 in order to maximize the chance of code being close enough to kernel core to avoid branch trampolines.

module: Introduce data_layout

2022-04-05T15:43:05Z

In order to allow separation of data from text, add another layout, called data_layout. For architectures requesting separation of text and data, only text will go in core_layout and data will go in data_layout. For architectures which keep text and data together, make data_layout an alias of core_layout, that way data_layout can be used for all data manipulations, regardless of whether data is in core_layout or data_layout.
