2013-10-17kernel: add support for init_array constructorsFrantisek Hrbata
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.

2013-09-23module: remove rmmod --wait option.Rusty Russell
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.

2013-09-03module: Fix mod->mkobj.kobj potentially freed too earlyLi Zhong
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).

For some strings, they are permitted to be larger than PAGE_SIZE, so need use scnprintf() instead of sprintf(), or it will cause issue. One case is: if a module version is crazy defined (length more than PAGE_SIZE), 'modinfo' command is still OK (print full contents), but for "cat /sys/modules/'modname'/version", will cause issue in kernel.

Although parameters are supposed to be part of the kernel API, experimental parameters are often removed. In addition, downgrading a kernel might cause previously-working modules to fail to load. On balance, it's probably better to warn, and load the module anyway. This may let through a typo, but at least the logs will show it.

2013-03-20module: fix symbol versioning with symbol prefixesJames Hogan
Fix symbol versioning on architectures with symbol prefixes. Although the build was free from warnings the actual modules still wouldn't load as the ____versions table contained unprefixed symbol names, which were being compared against the prefixed symbol names when checking the symbol versions. This is fixed by modifying modpost to add the symbol prefix to the ____versions table it outputs (Modules.symvers still contains unprefixed symbol names). The check_modstruct_version() function is also fixed as it checks the version of the unprefixed "module_layout" symbol which would no longer work.

2013-03-15CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX: cleanup.Rusty Russell
We have CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX, which three archs define to the string "_". But Al Viro broke this in "consolidate cond_syscall and SYSCALL_ALIAS declarations" (in linux-next), and he's not the first to do so. Using CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is awkward, since we usually just want to prefix it so something. So various places define helpers which are defined to nothing if CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX isn't set: 1) include/asm-generic/unistd.h defines __SYMBOL_PREFIX. 2) include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h defines VMLINUX_SYMBOL(sym) 3) include/linux/export.h defines MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX. 4) include/linux/kernel.h defines SYMBOL_PREFIX (which differs from #7) 5) kernel/modsign_certificate.S defines ASM_SYMBOL(sym) 6) scripts/modpost.c defines MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX 7) scripts/Makefile.lib defines SYMBOL_PREFIX on the commandline if CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is set, so that we have a non-string version for pasting. (arch/h8300/include/asm/linkage.h defines SYMBOL_NAME(), too). Let's solve this properly: 1) No more generic prefix, just CONFIG_HAVE_UNDERSCORE_SYMBOL_PREFIX. 2) Make linux/export.h usable from asm. 3) Define VMLINUX_SYMBOL() and VMLINUX_SYMBOL_STR(). 4) Make everyone use them.

But for the duplicate export symbol error case the change made the ddebug_cleanup path jump to after the module mutex unlock, even though it happens with the mutex held.

2013-01-16module, async: async_synchronize_full() on module init iff async is usedTejun Heo
If the default iosched is built as module, the kernel may deadlock while trying to load the iosched module on device probe if the probing was running off async. This is because async_synchronize_full() at the end of module init ends up waiting for the async job which initiated the module loading. async A modprobe 1. finds a device 2. registers the block device 3. request_module(default iosched) 4. modprobe in userland 5. load and init module 6. async_synchronize_full() Async A waits for modprobe to finish in request_module() and modprobe waits for async A to finish in async_synchronize_full(). Because there's no easy to track dependency once control goes out to userland, implementing properly nested flushing is difficult. For now, make module init perform async_synchronize_full() iff module init has queued async jobs as suggested by Linus. This avoids the described deadlock because iosched module doesn't use async and thus wouldn't invoke async_synchronize_full(). This is hacky and incomplete. It will deadlock if async module loading nests; however, this works around the known problem case and seems to be the best of bad options.

In commit d0a21265dfb5fa8a David Rientjes unified various archs' module_alloc implementation (including x86) and removed the graduitous shortcut for size == 0. Then, in commit de7d2b567d040e3b, Joe Perches added a warning for zero-length vmallocs, which can happen without kallsyms on modules with no init sections (eg. zlib_deflate). Fix this once and for all; the module code has to handle zero length anyway, so get it right at the caller and remove the now-gratuitous checks within the arch-specific module_alloc implementations.

2012-12-14module: add syscall to load module from fdKees Cook
As part of the effort to create a stronger boundary between root and kernel, Chrome OS wants to be able to enforce that kernel modules are being loaded only from our read-only crypto-hash verified (dm_verity) root filesystem. Since the init_module syscall hands the kernel a module as a memory blob, no reasoning about the origin of the blob can be made. Earlier proposals for appending signatures to kernel modules would not be useful in Chrome OS, since it would involve adding an additional set of keys to our kernel and builds for no good reason: we already trust the contents of our root filesystem. We don't need to verify those kernel modules a second time. Having to do signature checking on module loading would slow us down and be redundant. All we need to know is where a module is coming from so we can say yes/no to loading it. If a file descriptor is used as the source of a kernel module, many more things can be reasoned about. In Chrome OS's case, we could enforce that the module lives on the filesystem we expect it to live on. In the case of IMA (or other LSMs), it would be possible, for example, to examine extended attributes that may contain signatures over the contents of the module. This introduces a new syscall (on x86), similar to init_module, that has only two arguments. The first argument is used as a file descriptor to the module and the second argument is a pointer to the NULL terminated string of module arguments.

2012-10-31module: fix out-by-one error in kallsymsRusty Russell
Masaki found and patched a kallsyms issue: the last symbol in a module's symtab wasn't transferred. This is because we manually copy the zero'th entry (which is always empty) then copy the rest in a loop starting at 1, though from src[0]. His fix was minimal, I prefer to rewrite the loops in more standard form. There are two loops: one to get the size, and one to copy. Make these identical: always count entry 0 and any defined symbol in an allocated non-init section. This bug exists since the following commit was introduced. module: reduce symbol table for loaded modules (v2) commit: 4a4962263f07d14660849ec134ee42b63e95ea9a LKML: http://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/24/27 Reported-by: Masaki Kimura <masaki.kimura.kz@hitachi.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org
2012-10-19MODSIGN: Move the magic string to the end of a module and eliminate the searchDavid Howells
Emit the magic string that indicates a module has a signature after the signature data instead of before it. This allows module_sig_check() to be made simpler and faster by the elimination of the search for the magic string. Instead we just need to do a single memcmp(). This works because at the end of the signature data there is the fixed-length signature information block. This block then falls immediately prior to the magic number. From the contents of the information block, it is trivial to calculate the size of the signature data and thus the size of the actual module data.

There's both a config option and a boot parameter which control whether we accept or fail with unsigned modules and modules that are signed with an unknown key. If module signing is enabled, the kernel will be tainted if a module is loaded that is unsigned or has a signature for which we don't have the key.

2012-09-28module: wait when loading a module which is currently initializing.Rusty Russell
The original module-init-tools module loader used a fnctl lock on the .ko file to avoid attempts to simultaneously load a module. Unfortunately, you can't get an exclusive fcntl lock on a read-only fd, making this not work for read-only mounted filesystems. module-init-tools has a hacky sleep-and-loop for this now. It's not that hard to wait in the kernel, and only return -EEXIST once the first module has finished loading (or continue loading the module if the first one failed to initialize for some reason). It's also consistent with what we do for dependent modules which are still loading. Suggested-by: Lucas De Marchi <lucas.demarchi@profusion.mobi> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2012-09-28module: fix symbol waiting when module fails before initRusty Russell
We use resolve_symbol_wait(), which blocks if the module containing the symbol is still loading. However: 1) The module_wq we use is only woken after calling the modules' init function, but there are other failure paths after the module is placed in the linked list where we need to do the same thing. 2) wake_up() only wakes one waiter, and our waitqueue is shared by all modules, so we need to wake them all. 3) wake_up_all() doesn't imply a memory barrier: I feel happier calling it after we've grabbed and dropped the module_mutex, not just after the state assignment.

2012-09-28Make most arch asm/module.h files use asm-generic/module.hDavid Howells
Use the mapping of Elf_[SPE]hdr, Elf_Addr, Elf_Sym, Elf_Dyn, Elf_Rel/Rela, ELF_R_TYPE() and ELF_R_SYM() to either the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version into asm-generic/module.h for all arches bar MIPS. Also, use the generic definition mod_arch_specific where possible. To this end, I've defined three new config bools: (*) HAVE_MOD_ARCH_SPECIFIC Arches define this if they don't want to use the empty generic mod_arch_specific struct. (*) MODULES_USE_ELF_RELA Arches define this if their modules can contain RELA records. This causes the Elf_Rela mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate_add() to be defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message. (*) MODULES_USE_ELF_REL Arches define this if their modules can contain REL records. This causes the Elf_Rel mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate() to be defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message. Note that it is possible to allow both REL and RELA records: m68k and mips are two arches that do this. With this, some arch asm/module.h files can be deleted entirely and replaced with a generic-y marker in the arch Kbuild file. Additionally, I have removed the bits from m32r and score that handle the unsupported type of relocation record as that's now handled centrally.

2012-04-30dynamic_debug: make dynamic-debug work for module initializationJim Cromie
This introduces a fake module param $module.dyndbg. Its based upon Thomas Renninger's $module.ddebug boot-time debugging patch from https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/9/15/397 The 'fake' module parameter is provided for all modules, whether or not they need it. It is not explicitly added to each module, but is implemented in callbacks invoked from parse_args. For builtin modules, dynamic_debug_init() now directly calls parse_args(..., &ddebug_dyndbg_boot_params_cb), to process the params undeclared in the modules, just after the ddebug tables are processed. While its slightly weird to reprocess the boot params, parse_args() is already called repeatedly by do_initcall_levels(). More importantly, the dyndbg queries (given in ddebug_query or dyndbg params) cannot be activated until after the ddebug tables are ready, and reusing parse_args is cleaner than doing an ad-hoc parse. This reparse would break options like inc_verbosity, but they probably should be params, like verbosity=3. ddebug_dyndbg_boot_params_cb() handles both bare dyndbg (aka: ddebug_query) and module-prefixed dyndbg params, and ignores all other parameters. For example, the following will enable pr_debug()s in 4 builtin modules, in the order given: dyndbg="module params +p; module aio +p" module.dyndbg=+p pci.dyndbg For loadable modules, parse_args() in load_module() calls ddebug_dyndbg_module_params_cb(). This handles bare dyndbg params as passed from modprobe, and errors on other unknown params. Note that modprobe reads /proc/cmdline, so "modprobe foo" grabs all foo.params, strips the "foo.", and passes these to the kernel. ddebug_dyndbg_module_params_cb() is again called for the unknown params; it handles dyndbg, and errors on others. The "doing" arg added previously contains the module name. For non CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG builds, the stub function accepts and ignores $module.dyndbg params, other unknowns get -ENOENT. If no param value is given (as in pci.dyndbg example above), "+p" is assumed, which enables all pr_debug callsites in the module. The dyndbg fake parameter is not shown in /sys/module/*/parameters, thus it does not use any resources. Changes to it are made via the control file. Also change pr_info in ddebug_exec_queries to vpr_info, no need to see it all the time.
