livepatch/samples/selftest: Use klp_shadow_alloc() API correctly

2020-01-17T10:12:06Z

The commit e91c2518a5d22a ("livepatch: Initialize shadow variables safely by a custom callback") leads to the following static checker warning: samples/livepatch/livepatch-shadow-fix1.c:86 livepatch_fix1_dummy_alloc() error: 'klp_shadow_alloc()' 'leak' too small (4 vs 8) It is because klp_shadow_alloc() is used a wrong way: int *leak; shadow_leak = klp_shadow_alloc(d, SV_LEAK, sizeof(leak), GFP_KERNEL, shadow_leak_ctor, leak); The code is supposed to store the "leak" pointer into the shadow variable. 3rd parameter correctly passes size of the data (size of pointer). But the 5th parameter is wrong. It should pass pointer to the data (pointer to the pointer) but it passes the pointer directly. It works because shadow_leak_ctor() handle "ctor_data" as the data instead of pointer to the data. But it is semantically wrong and confusing. The same problem is also in the module used by selftests. In this case, "pvX" variables are introduced. They represent the data stored in the shadow variables.

livepatch/selftest: Clean up shadow variable names and type

2020-01-17T10:12:06Z

The shadow variable selftest is quite tricky. Especially it is problematic to understand what values are stored, returned, and printed. Make it easier to understand by using "int *var, **sv" variables consistently everywhere instead of the generic "void *", "ret", and "ctor_data".

livepatch: Proper error handling in the shadow variables selftest

2019-02-06T10:01:57Z

Add proper error handling when allocating or getting shadow variables in the selftest. It prevents an invalid pointer access in some situations. It shows the good programming practice in the others. The error codes are just the best guess and specific for this particular test. In general, klp_shadow_alloc() returns NULL also when the given shadow variable has already been allocated. In addition, both klp_shadow_alloc() and klp_shadow_get_or_alloc() might fail from other reasons when the constructor fails. Note, that the error code is not really important even in the real life. The use of shadow variables should be transparent for the original livepatched code. Acked-by: Miroslav Benes Acked-by: Joe Lawrence Signed-off-by: Petr Mladek
