The atomic replace and cumulative patches were introduced as a more secure
way to handle dependent patches. They simplify the logic:
+ Any new cumulative patch is supposed to take over shadow variables
and changes made by callbacks from previous livepatches.
+ All replaced patches are discarded and the modules can be unloaded.
As a result, there is only one scenario when a cumulative livepatch
gets disabled.
The different handling of "normal" and cumulative patches might cause
confusion. It would make sense to keep only one mode. On the other hand,
it would be rude to enforce using the cumulative livepatches even for
trivial and independent (hot) fixes.
However, the stack of patches is not really necessary any longer.
The patch ordering was never clearly visible via the sysfs interface.
Also the "normal" patches need a lot of caution anyway.
Note that the list of enabled patches is still necessary but the ordering
is not longer enforced.
Otherwise, the code is ready to disable livepatches in an random order.
Namely, klp_check_stack_func() always looks for the function from
the livepatch that is being disabled. klp_func structures are just
removed from the related func_stack. Finally, the ftrace handlers
is removed only when the func_stack becomes empty.

Sometimes we would like to revert a particular fix. Currently, this
is not easy because we want to keep all other fixes active and we
could revert only the last applied patch.
One solution would be to apply new patch that implemented all
the reverted functions like in the original code. It would work
as expected but there will be unnecessary redirections. In addition,
it would also require knowing which functions need to be reverted at
build time.
Another problem is when there are many patches that touch the same
functions. There might be dependencies between patches that are
not enforced on the kernel side. Also it might be pretty hard to
actually prepare the patch and ensure compatibility with the other
patches.
Atomic replace && cumulative patches:
A better solution would be to create cumulative patch and say that
it replaces all older ones.
This patch adds a new "replace" flag to struct klp_patch. When it is
enabled, a set of 'nop' klp_func will be dynamically created for all
functions that are already being patched but that will no longer be
modified by the new patch. They are used as a new target during
the patch transition.
The idea is to handle Nops' structures like the static ones. When
the dynamic structures are allocated, we initialize all values that
are normally statically defined.
The only exception is "new_func" in struct klp_func. It has to point
to the original function and the address is known only when the object
(module) is loaded. Note that we really need to set it. The address is
used, for example, in klp_check_stack_func().
Nevertheless we still need to distinguish the dynamically allocated
structures in some operations. For this, we add "nop" flag into
struct klp_func and "dynamic" flag into struct klp_object. They
need special handling in the following situations:
+ The structures are added into the lists of objects and functions
immediately. In fact, the lists were created for this purpose.
+ The address of the original function is known only when the patched
object (module) is loaded. Therefore it is copied later in
klp_init_object_loaded().
+ The ftrace handler must not set PC to func->new_func. It would cause
infinite loop because the address points back to the beginning of
the original function.
+ The various free() functions must free the structure itself.
Note that other ways to detect the dynamic structures are not considered
safe. For example, even the statically defined struct klp_object might
include empty funcs array. It might be there just to run some callbacks.
Also note that the safe iterator must be used in the free() functions.
Otherwise already freed structures might get accessed.
Special callbacks handling:
The callbacks from the replaced patches are _not_ called by intention.
It would be pretty hard to define a reasonable semantic and implement it.
It might even be counter-productive. The new patch is cumulative. It is
supposed to include most of the changes from older patches. In most cases,
it will not want to call pre_unpatch() post_unpatch() callbacks from
the replaced patches. It would disable/break things for no good reasons.
Also it should be easier to handle various scenarios in a single script
in the new patch than think about interactions caused by running many
scripts from older patches. Not to say that the old scripts even would
not expect to be called in this situation.
Removing replaced patches:
One nice effect of the cumulative patches is that the code from the
older patches is no longer used. Therefore the replaced patches can
be removed. It has several advantages:
+ Nops' structs will no longer be necessary and might be removed.
This would save memory, restore performance (no ftrace handler),
allow clear view on what is really patched.
+ Disabling the patch will cause using the original code everywhere.
Therefore the livepatch callbacks could handle only one scenario.
Note that the complication is already complex enough when the patch
gets enabled. It is currently solved by calling callbacks only from
the new cumulative patch.
+ The state is clean in both the sysfs interface and lsmod. The modules
with the replaced livepatches might even get removed from the system.
Some people actually expected this behavior from the beginning. After all
a cumulative patch is supposed to "completely" replace an existing one.
It is like when a new version of an application replaces an older one.
This patch does the first step. It removes the replaced patches from
the list of patches. It is safe. The consistency model ensures that
they are no longer used. By other words, each process works only with
the structures from klp_transition_patch.
The removal is done by a special function. It combines actions done by
__disable_patch() and klp_complete_transition(). But it is a fast
track without all the transaction-related stuff.

The possibility to re-enable a registered patch was useful for immediate
patches where the livepatch module had to stay until the system reboot.
The improved consistency model allows to achieve the same result by
unloading and loading the livepatch module again.
Also we are going to add a feature called atomic replace. It will allow
to create a patch that would replace all already registered patches.
The aim is to handle dependent patches more securely. It will obsolete
the stack of patches that helped to handle the dependencies so far.
Then it might be unclear when a cumulative patch re-enabling is safe.
It would be complicated to support the many modes. Instead we could
actually make the API and code easier to understand.
Therefore, remove the two step public API. All the checks and init calls
are moved from klp_register_patch() to klp_enabled_patch(). Also the patch
is automatically freed, including the sysfs interface when the transition
to the disabled state is completed.
As a result, there is never a disabled patch on the top of the stack.
Therefore we do not need to check the stack in __klp_enable_patch().
And we could simplify the check in __klp_disable_patch().
Also the API and logic is much easier. It is enough to call
klp_enable_patch() in module_init() call. The patch can be disabled
by writing '0' into /sys/kernel/livepatch/<patch>/enabled. Then the module
can be removed once the transition finishes and sysfs interface is freed.
The only problem is how to free the structures and kobjects safely.
The operation is triggered from the sysfs interface. We could not put
the related kobject from there because it would cause lock inversion
between klp_mutex and kernfs locks, see kn->count lockdep map.
Therefore, offload the free task to a workqueue. It is perfectly fine:
+ The patch can no longer be used in the livepatch operations.
+ The module could not be removed until the free operation finishes
and module_put() is called.
+ The operation is asynchronous already when the first
klp_try_complete_transition() fails and another call
is queued with a delay.

The current way of handling refcounting in the DP MST helpers is really
confusing and probably just plain wrong because it's been hacked up many
times over the years without anyone actually going over the code and
seeing if things could be simplified.
To the best of my understanding, the current scheme works like this:
drm_dp_mst_port and drm_dp_mst_branch both have a single refcount. When
this refcount hits 0 for either of the two, they're removed from the
topology state, but not immediately freed. Both ports and branch devices
will reinitialize their kref once it's hit 0 before actually destroying
themselves. The intended purpose behind this is so that we can avoid
problems like not being able to free a remote payload that might still
be active, due to us having removed all of the port/branch device
structures in memory, as per:
commit 91a25e4631 ("drm/dp/mst: deallocate payload on port destruction")
Which may have worked, but then it caused use-after-free errors. Being
new to MST at the time, I tried fixing it;
commit 263efde31f ("drm/dp/mst: Get validated port ref in drm_dp_update_payload_part1()")
But, that was broken: both drm_dp_mst_port and drm_dp_mst_branch structs
are validated in almost every DP MST helper function. Simply put, this
means we go through the topology and try to see if the given
drm_dp_mst_branch or drm_dp_mst_port is still attached to something
before trying to use it in order to avoid dereferencing freed memory
(something that has happened a LOT in the past with this library).
Because of this it doesn't actually matter whether or not we keep keep
the ports and branches around in memory as that's not enough, because
any function that validates the branches and ports passed to it will
still reject them anyway since they're no longer in the topology
structure. So, use-after-free errors were fixed but payload deallocation
was completely broken.
Two years later, AMD informed me about this issue and I attempted to
come up with a temporary fix, pending a long-overdue cleanup of this
library:
commit c54c7374ff ("drm/dp_mst: Skip validating ports during destruction, just ref")
But then that introduced use-after-free errors, so I quickly reverted
it:
commit 9765635b30 ("Revert "drm/dp_mst: Skip validating ports during destruction, just ref"")
And in the process, learned that there is just no simple fix for this:
the design is just broken. Unfortunately, the usage of these helpers are
quite broken as well. Some drivers like i915 have been smart enough to
avoid accessing any kind of information from MST port structures, but
others like nouveau have assumed, understandably so, that
drm_dp_mst_port structures are normal and can just be accessed at any
time without worrying about use-after-free errors.
After a lot of discussion, me and Daniel Vetter came up with a better
idea to replace all of this.
To summarize, since this is documented far more indepth in the
documentation this patch introduces, we make it so that drm_dp_mst_port
and drm_dp_mst_branch structures have two different classes of
refcounts: topology_kref, and malloc_kref. topology_kref corresponds to
the lifetime of the given drm_dp_mst_port or drm_dp_mst_branch in it's
given topology. Once it hits zero, any associated connectors are removed
and the branch or port can no longer be validated. malloc_kref
corresponds to the lifetime of the memory allocation for the actual
structure, and will always be non-zero so long as the topology_kref is
non-zero. This gives us a way to allow callers to hold onto port and
branch device structures past their topology lifetime, and dramatically
simplifies the lifetimes of both structures. This also finally fixes the
port deallocation problem, properly.
Additionally: since this now means that we can keep ports and branch
devices allocated in memory for however long we need, we no longer need
a significant amount of the port validation that we currently do.
Additionally, there is one last scenario that this fixes, which couldn't
have been fixed properly beforehand:
- CPU1 unrefs port from topology (refcount 1->0)
- CPU2 refs port in topology(refcount 0->1)
Since we now can guarantee memory safety for ports and branches
as-needed, we also can make our main reference counting functions fix
this problem by using kref_get_unless_zero() internally so that topology
refcounts can only ever reach 0 once.

This patch includes some fixes and cleanup for idle-page writeback.
1. writeback_limit interface
Now writeback_limit interface is rather conusing. For example, once
writeback limit budget is exausted, admin can see 0 from
/sys/block/zramX/writeback_limit which is same semantic with disable
writeback_limit at this moment. IOW, admin cannot tell that zero came
from disable writeback limit or exausted writeback limit.
To make the interface clear, let's sepatate enable of writeback limit to
another knob - /sys/block/zram0/writeback_limit_enable
* before:
while true :
# to re-enable writeback limit once previous one is used up
echo 0 > /sys/block/zram0/writeback_limit
echo $((200<<20)) > /sys/block/zram0/writeback_limit
..
.. # used up the writeback limit budget
* new
# To enable writeback limit, from the beginning, admin should
# enable it.
echo $((200<<20)) > /sys/block/zram0/writeback_limit
echo 1 > /sys/block/zram/0/writeback_limit_enable
while true :
echo $((200<<20)) > /sys/block/zram0/writeback_limit
..
.. # used up the writeback limit budget
It's much strightforward.
2. fix condition check idle/huge writeback mode check
The mode in writeback_store is not bit opeartion any more so no need to
use bit operations. Furthermore, current condition check is broken in
that it does writeback every pages regardless of huge/idle.
3. clean up idle_store
No need to use goto.

Back in 2007 I made what turned out to be a rather serious
mistake in the implementation of the Smack security module.
The SELinux module used an interface in /proc to manipulate
the security context on processes. Rather than use a similar
interface, I used the same interface. The AppArmor team did
likewise. Now /proc/.../attr/current will tell you the
security "context" of the process, but it will be different
depending on the security module you're using.
This patch provides a subdirectory in /proc/.../attr for
Smack. Smack user space can use the "current" file in
this subdirectory and never have to worry about getting
SELinux attributes by mistake. Programs that use the
old interface will continue to work (or fail, as the case
may be) as before.
The proposed S.A.R.A security module is dependent on
the mechanism to create its own attr subdirectory.
The original implementation is by Kees Cook.

A few drivers open code the handling of suspended adapters. It could be
handled by the core, though, to ensure generic handling. This patch adds
the flag and accessor functions. The usage of these helpers is optional,
though. See the kerneldoc in this patch. Using the new flag, we now
reject further transfers if the adapter is already marked suspended.

We are getting rid of the "raw" BUS_ATTR() macro, so fix up the
documentation to not refer to it anymore.

The titles do not look very nice in the table of contents generated by
Sphinx.
I also think it is obvious that the documents are describing offloads
in the Linux Networking Stack.

This patch renames offload files. This is necessary for Sphinx.
Also update reference to checksum-offloads.rst file.
Whole kernel code was grepped for references using:
$ grep -r "\(segmentation\|checksum\)-offloads.txt" .
There should be no other references
to {segmentation,checksum}-offloads.txt files.
