vmlinux.lds.h: Create section for protection against instrumentation

2021-02-17T09:35:16Z

[ Upstream commit 6553896666433e7efec589838b400a2a652b3ffa ] Some code pathes, especially the low level entry code, must be protected against instrumentation for various reasons: - Low level entry code can be a fragile beast, especially on x86. - With NO_HZ_FULL RCU state needs to be established before using it. Having a dedicated section for such code allows to validate with tooling that no unsafe functions are invoked. Add the .noinstr.text section and the noinstr attribute to mark functions. noinstr implies notrace. Kprobes will gain a section check later. Provide also a set of markers: instrumentation_begin()/end() These are used to mark code inside a noinstr function which calls into regular instrumentable text section as safe. The instrumentation markers are only active when CONFIG_DEBUG_ENTRY is enabled as the end marker emits a NOP to prevent the compiler from merging the annotation points. This means the objtool verification requires a kernel compiled with this option.

modpost: move the namespace field in Module.symvers last

2020-03-25T07:25:55Z

commit 5190044c2965514a973184ca68ef5fad57a24670 upstream. In order to preserve backwards compatability with kmod tools, we have to move the namespace field in Module.symvers last, as the depmod -e -E option looks at the first three fields in Module.symvers to check symbol versions (and it's expected they stay in the original order of crc, symbol, module). In addition, update an ancient comment above read_dump() in modpost that suggested that the export type field in Module.symvers was optional. I suspect that there were historical reasons behind that comment that are no longer accurate. We have been unconditionally printing the export type since 2.6.18 (commit bd5cbcedf44), which is over a decade ago now. Fix up read_dump() to treat each field as non-optional. I suspect the original read_dump() code treated the export field as optional in order to support pre <= 2.6.18 Module.symvers (which did not have the export type field). Note that although symbol namespaces are optional, the field will not be omitted from Module.symvers if a symbol does not have a namespace. In this case, the field will simply be empty and the next delimiter or end of line will follow.

symbol namespaces: revert to previous __ksymtab name scheme

2019-10-18T13:32:52Z

The introduction of Symbol Namespaces changed the naming schema of the __ksymtab entries from __kysmtab__symbol to __ksymtab_NAMESPACE.symbol. That caused some breakages in tools that depend on the name layout in either the binaries(vmlinux,*.ko) or in System.map. E.g. kmod's depmod would not be able to read System.map without a patch to support symbol namespaces. A warning reported by depmod for namespaced symbols would look like depmod: WARNING: [...]/uas.ko needs unknown symbol usb_stor_adjust_quirks In order to address this issue, revert to the original naming scheme and rather read the __kstrtabns_ entries and their corresponding values from __ksymtab_strings to update the namespace values for symbols. After having read all symbols and handled them in handle_modversions(), the symbols are created. In a second pass, read the __kstrtabns_ entries and update the namespaces accordingly.

modpost: make updating the symbol namespace explicit

2019-10-18T13:32:47Z

Setting the symbol namespace of a symbol within sym_add_exported feels displaced and lead to issues in the current implementation of symbol namespaces. This patch makes updating the namespace an explicit call to decouple it from adding a symbol to the export list.

modpost: delegate updating namespaces to separate function

2019-10-18T13:32:42Z

Let the function 'sym_update_namespace' take care of updating the namespace for a symbol. While this currently only replaces one single location where namespaces are updated, in a following patch, this function will get more call sites. The function signature is intentionally close to sym_update_crc and taking the name by char* seems like unnecessary work as the symbol has to be looked up again. In a later patch of this series, this concern will be addressed. This function ensures that symbol::namespace is either NULL or has a valid non-empty value. Previously, the empty string was considered 'no namespace' as well and this lead to confusion.

modpost: fix broken sym->namespace for external module builds

2019-10-07T16:24:58Z

Currently, external module builds produce tons of false-positives: WARNING: module uses symbol from namespace , but does not import it. Here, the part shows a random string. When you build external modules, the symbol info of vmlinux and in-kernel modules are read from $(objtree)/Module.symvers, but read_dump() is buggy in multiple ways: [1] When the modpost is run for vmlinux and in-kernel modules, sym_extract_namespace() allocates memory for the namespace. On the other hand, read_dump() does not, then sym->namespace will point to somewhere in the line buffer of get_next_line(). The data in the buffer will be replaced soon, and sym->namespace will end up with pointing to unrelated data. As a result, check_exports() will show random strings in the warning messages. [2] When there is no namespace, sym_extract_namespace() returns NULL. On the other hand, read_dump() sets namespace to an empty string "". (but, it will be later replaced with unrelated data due to bug [1].) The check_exports() shows a warning unless exp->namespace is NULL, so every symbol read from read_dump() emits the warning, which is mostly false positive. To address [1], sym_add_exported() calls strdup() for s->namespace. The namespace from sym_extract_namespace() must be freed to avoid memory leak. For [2], I changed the if-conditional in check_exports(). This commit also fixes sym_add_exported() to set s->namespace correctly when the symbol is preloaded.

module: swap the order of symbol.namespace

2019-10-07T16:24:48Z

Currently, EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS(_GPL) constructs the kernel symbol as follows: __ksymtab_SYMBOL.NAMESPACE The sym_extract_namespace() in modpost allocates memory for the part SYMBOL.NAMESPACE when '.' is contained. One problem is that the pointer returned by strdup() is lost because the symbol name will be copied to malloc'ed memory by alloc_symbol(). No one will keep track of the pointer of strdup'ed memory. sym->namespace still points to the NAMESPACE part. So, you can free it with complicated code like this: free(sym->namespace - strlen(sym->name) - 1); It complicates memory free. To fix it elegantly, I swapped the order of the symbol and the namespace as follows: __ksymtab_NAMESPACE.SYMBOL then, simplified sym_extract_namespace() so that it allocates memory only for the NAMESPACE part. I prefer this order because it is intuitive and also matches to major languages. For example, NAMESPACE::NAME in C++, MODULE.NAME in Python.

All the warnings above are from the second modpost. The offending symbols are defined not in vmlinux, but in the C library. The first modpost is run against the relocatable vmlinux.o, and those warnings are nicely suppressed because the SH_UNDEF entries from the symbol table clear the ->is_static flag. The second modpost is run against the executable vmlinux (+ modules), where those symbols have been resolved, but the definitions do not exist. This commit fixes it in a straightforward way; suppress the static EXPORT_SYMBOL warnings from "vmlinux". Without this commit, we see valid warnings twice anyway. For example, ARCH=arm64 defconfig shows the following warning twice: WARNING: "HYPERVISOR_platform_op" [vmlinux] is a static EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL So, it is reasonable to suppress the second one.

Pull modules updates from Jessica Yu: "The main bulk of this pull request introduces a new exported symbol namespaces feature. The number of exported symbols is increasingly growing with each release (we're at about 31k exports as of 5.3-rc7) and we currently have no way of visualizing how these symbols are "clustered" or making sense of this huge export surface. Namespacing exported symbols allows kernel developers to more explicitly partition and categorize exported symbols, as well as more easily limiting the availability of namespaced symbols to other parts of the kernel. For starters, we have introduced the USB_STORAGE namespace to demonstrate the API's usage. I have briefly summarized the feature and its main motivations in the tag below. Summary: - Introduce exported symbol namespaces. This new feature allows subsystem maintainers to partition and categorize their exported symbols into explicit namespaces. Module authors are now required to import the namespaces they need. Some of the main motivations of this feature include: allowing kernel developers to better manage the export surface, allow subsystem maintainers to explicitly state that usage of some exported symbols should only be limited to certain users (think: inter-module or inter-driver symbols, debugging symbols, etc), as well as more easily limiting the availability of namespaced symbols to other parts of the kernel. With the module import requirement, it is also easier to spot the misuse of exported symbols during patch review. Two new macros are introduced: EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS() and EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(). The API is thoroughly documented in Documentation/kbuild/namespaces.rst. - Some small code and kbuild cleanups here and there" * tag 'modules-for-v5.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeyu/linux: module: Remove leftover '#undef' from export header module: remove unneeded casts in cmp_name() module: move CONFIG_UNUSED_SYMBOLS to the sub-menu of MODULES module: remove redundant 'depends on MODULES' module: Fix link failure due to invalid relocation on namespace offset usb-storage: export symbols in USB_STORAGE namespace usb-storage: remove single-use define for debugging docs: Add documentation for Symbol Namespaces scripts: Coccinelle script for namespace dependencies. modpost: add support for generating namespace dependencies export: allow definition default namespaces in Makefiles or sources module: add config option MODULE_ALLOW_MISSING_NAMESPACE_IMPORTS modpost: add support for symbol namespaces module: add support for symbol namespaces. export: explicitly align struct kernel_symbol module: support reading multiple values per modinfo tag
