For the 6.0 merge window the modules code shifts to cleanup and minor fixes
effort. This is becomes much easier to do and review now due to the code
split to its own directory from effort on the last kernel release. I expect
to see more of this with time and as we expand on test coverage in the future.
The cleanups and fixes come from usual suspects such as Christophe Leroy and
Aaron Tomlin but there are also some other contributors.
One particular minor fix worth mentioning is from Helge Deller, where he spotted
a *forever* incorrect natural alignment on both ELF section header tables:
* .altinstructions
* __bug_table sections
A lot of back and forth went on in trying to determine the ill effects of this
misalignment being present for years and it has been determined there should
be no real ill effects unless you have a buggy exception handler. Helge actually
hit one of these buggy exception handlers on parisc which is how he ended up
spotting this issue. When implemented correctly these paths with incorrect
misalignment would just mean a performance penalty, but given that we are
dealing with alternatives on modules and with the __bug_table (where info
regardign BUG()/WARN() file/line information associated with it is stored)
this really shouldn't be a big deal.
The only other change with mentioning is the kmap() with kmap_local_page()
and my only concern with that was on what is done after preemption, but the
virtual addresses are restored after preemption. This is only used on module
decompression.
This all has sit on linux-next for a while except the kmap stuff which has
been there for 3 weeks.

kmap() is being deprecated in favor of kmap_local_page().
Two main problems with kmap(): (1) It comes with an overhead as mapping
space is restricted and protected by a global lock for synchronization and
(2) it also requires global TLB invalidation when the kmap’s pool wraps
and it might block when the mapping space is fully utilized until a slot
becomes available.
With kmap_local_page() the mappings are per thread, CPU local, can take
page faults, and can be called from any context (including interrupts).
Tasks can be preempted and, when scheduled to run again, the kernel
virtual addresses are restored and still valid.
kmap_local_page() is faster than kmap() in kernels with HIGHMEM enabled.
Since the use of kmap_local_page() in module_gzip_decompress() and in
module_xz_decompress() is safe (i.e., it does not break the strict rules
of use), it should be preferred over kmap().
Therefore, replace kmap() with kmap_local_page().
Tested on a QEMU/KVM x86_32 VM with 4GB RAM, booting kernels with
HIGHMEM64GB enabled. Modules compressed with XZ or GZIP decompress
properly.

MODULES_TREE_LOOKUP was outside of the 'if MODULES', but as it is
only used when MODULES are set, move it in with everything else to
avoid confusion.
MODULE_SIG_FORMAT is left in init/Kconfig because this configuration
item is not used in kernel/modules/ but in kernel/ and can be

Currently, KUnit runs built-in tests and tests loaded from modules
differently. For built-in tests, the kunit_test_suite{,s}() macro adds a
list of suites in the .kunit_test_suites linker section. However, for
kernel modules, a module_init() function is used to run the test suites.
This causes problems if tests are included in a module which already
defines module_init/exit_module functions, as they'll conflict with the
kunit-provided ones.
This change removes the kunit-defined module inits, and instead parses
the kunit tests from their own section in the module. After module init,
we call __kunit_test_suites_init() on the contents of that section,
which prepares and runs the suite.
This essentially unifies the module- and non-module kunit init formats.

The commit 08126db5ff ("module: kallsyms: Fix suspicious rcu usage")
under PREEMPT_RT=y, disabling preemption introduced an unbounded
latency since the loop is not fixed. This change caused a regression
since previously preemption was not disabled and we would dereference
RCU-protected pointers explicitly. That being said, these pointers
cannot change.
Before kallsyms-specific data is prepared/or set-up, we ensure that
the unformed module is known to be unique i.e. does not already exist
(see load_module()). Therefore, we can fix this by using the common and
more appropriate RCU flavour as this section of code can be safely
preempted.

When CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD is not selected, 'exit' is
set but never used.
It is not possible to replace the #ifdef CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD by
IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD) because mod->exit doesn't exist
when CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD is not selected.
And because of the rcu_read_lock_sched() section it is not easy
to regroup everything in a single #ifdef. Let's regroup partially
and add missing #ifdef to completely opt out the use of
'exit' when CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD is not selected.

The commit 91fb02f315 ("module: Move kallsyms support into a separate
file") changed from using strlcpy() to using strscpy() which created a
buffer overflow. That happened because:
1) an incorrect value was passed as the buffer length
2) strscpy() (unlike strlcpy()) may copy beyond the length of the
input string when copying word-by-word.
The assumption was that because it was already known that the strings
being copied would fit in the space available, it was not necessary
to correctly set the buffer length. strscpy() breaks that assumption
because although it will not touch bytes beyond the given buffer length
it may write bytes beyond the input string length when writing
word-by-word.
The result of the buffer overflow is to corrupt the symbol type
information that follows. e.g.
$ sudo cat -v /proc/kallsyms | grep '\^' | head
ffffffffc0615000 ^@ rfcomm_session_get [rfcomm]
ffffffffc061c060 ^@ session_list [rfcomm]

As promised, for v5.19 I queued up quite a bit of work for modules, but
still with a pretty conservative eye. These changes have been soaking on
modules-next (and so linux-next) for quite some time, the code shift was
merged onto modules-next on March 22, and the last patch was queued on May
5th.
The following are the highlights of what bells and whistles we will get for
v5.19:
1) It was time to tidy up kernel/module.c and one way of starting with
that effort was to split it up into files. At my request Aaron Tomlin
spearheaded that effort with the goal to not introduce any
functional at all during that endeavour. The penalty for the split
is +1322 bytes total, +112 bytes in data, +1210 bytes in text while
bss is unchanged. One of the benefits of this other than helping
make the code easier to read and review is summoning more help on review
for changes with livepatching so kernel/module/livepatch.c is now
pegged as maintained by the live patching folks.
The before and after with just the move on a defconfig on x86-64:
$ size kernel/module.o
text data bss dec hex filename
38434 4540 104 43078 a846 kernel/module.o
$ size -t kernel/module/*.o
text data bss dec hex filename
4785 120 0 4905 1329 kernel/module/kallsyms.o
28577 4416 104 33097 8149 kernel/module/main.o
1158 8 0 1166 48e kernel/module/procfs.o
902 108 0 1010 3f2 kernel/module/strict_rwx.o
3390 0 0 3390 d3e kernel/module/sysfs.o
832 0 0 832 340 kernel/module/tree_lookup.o
39644 4652 104 44400 ad70 (TOTALS)
2) Aaron added module unload taint tracking (MODULE_UNLOAD_TAINT_TRACKING),
so to enable tracking unloaded modules which did taint the kernel.
3) Christophe Leroy added CONFIG_ARCH_WANTS_MODULES_DATA_IN_VMALLOC
which lets architectures to request having modules data in vmalloc
area instead of module area. There are three reasons why an
architecture might want this:
a) On some architectures (like book3s/32) it is not possible to protect
against execution on a page basis. The exec stuff can be mapped by
different arch segment sizes (on book3s/32 that is 256M segments). By
default the module area is in an Exec segment while vmalloc area is in
a NoExec segment. Using vmalloc lets you muck with module data as
NoExec on those architectures whereas before you could not.
b) By pushing more module data to vmalloc you also increase the
probability of module text to remain within a closer distance
from kernel core text and this reduces trampolines, this has been
reported on arm first and powerpc folks are following that lead.
c) Free'ing module_alloc() (Exec by default) area leaves this
exposed as Exec by default, some architectures have some
security enhancements to set this as NoExec on free, and splitting
module data with text let's future generic special allocators
be added to the kernel without having developers try to grok
the tribal knowledge per arch. Work like Rick Edgecombe's
permission vmalloc interface [0] becomes easier to address over
time.

Merge tag 'modules-5.19-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/linux
Pull modules updates from Luis Chamberlain:
- It was time to tidy up kernel/module.c and one way of starting with
that effort was to split it up into files. At my request Aaron Tomlin
spearheaded that effort with the goal to not introduce any functional
at all during that endeavour. The penalty for the split is +1322
bytes total, +112 bytes in data, +1210 bytes in text while bss is
unchanged. One of the benefits of this other than helping make the
code easier to read and review is summoning more help on review for
changes with livepatching so kernel/module/livepatch.c is now pegged
as maintained by the live patching folks.
The before and after with just the move on a defconfig on x86-64:
$ size kernel/module.o
text data bss dec hex filename
38434 4540 104 43078 a846 kernel/module.o

- Aaron added module unload taint tracking (MODULE_UNLOAD_TAINT_TRACKING),
to enable tracking unloaded modules which did taint the kernel.
- Christophe Leroy added CONFIG_ARCH_WANTS_MODULES_DATA_IN_VMALLOC
which lets architectures to request having modules data in vmalloc
area instead of module area. There are three reasons why an
architecture might want this:
a) On some architectures (like book3s/32) it is not possible to
protect against execution on a page basis. The exec stuff can be
mapped by different arch segment sizes (on book3s/32 that is 256M
segments). By default the module area is in an Exec segment while
vmalloc area is in a NoExec segment. Using vmalloc lets you muck
with module data as NoExec on those architectures whereas before
you could not.
b) By pushing more module data to vmalloc you also increase the
probability of module text to remain within a closer distance
from kernel core text and this reduces trampolines, this has been
reported on arm first and powerpc folks are following that lead.
c) Free'ing module_alloc() (Exec by default) area leaves this
exposed as Exec by default, some architectures have some security
enhancements to set this as NoExec on free, and splitting module
data with text let's future generic special allocators be added
to the kernel without having developers try to grok the tribal
knowledge per arch. Work like Rick Edgecombe's permission vmalloc
interface [0] becomes easier to address over time.

- Masahiro Yamada's symbol search enhancements
* tag 'modules-5.19-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/linux: (33 commits)
module: merge check_exported_symbol() into find_exported_symbol_in_section()
module: do not binary-search in __ksymtab_gpl if fsa->gplok is false
module: do not pass opaque pointer for symbol search

module: Introduce module unload taint tracking
module: Move module_assert_mutex_or_preempt() to internal.h
module: Make module_flags_taint() accept a module's taints bitmap and usable outside core code
module.h: simplify MODULE_IMPORT_NS
powerpc: Select ARCH_WANTS_MODULES_DATA_IN_VMALLOC on book3s/32 and 8xx
module: Remove module_addr_min and module_addr_max
module: Add CONFIG_ARCH_WANTS_MODULES_DATA_IN_VMALLOC
module: Introduce data_layout
module: Prepare for handling several RB trees
module: Always have struct mod_tree_root
module: Rename debug_align() as strict_align()
module: Rework layout alignment to avoid BUG_ON()s
module: Move module_enable_x() and frob_text() in strict_rwx.c
module: Make module_enable_x() independent of CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_STRICT_MODULE_RWX

...
Now check_exported_symbol() always succeeds.
Merge it into find_exported_symbol_in_search() to make the code concise.

Currently, !fsa->gplok && syms->license == GPL_ONLY) is checked after
bsearch() succeeds.
It is meaningless to do the binary search in the GPL symbol table when
fsa->gplok is false because we know find_exported_symbol_in_section()
will fail anyway.
This check should be done before bsearch().

The error log for inherit_taint() doesn't really help to find the
symbol which violates GPL rules.
For example,
if a module has 300 symbol and includes 50 disallowed symbols,
the log only shows the content below and we have no idea what symbol is.
AAA: module using GPL-only symbols uses symbols from proprietary module BBB.
It's hard for user who doesn't really know how the symbol was parsing.
This patch add symbol name to tell the offending symbols explicitly.
AAA: module using GPL-only symbols uses symbols SSS from proprietary module BBB.

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.

The purpose of this patch is to modify module_flags_taint() to accept

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.

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.

Signed-off-by: Luis Chamberlain <mcgrof@kernel.org>
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.

Move module_enable_x() together with module_enable_nx() and
module_enable_ro().
Those three functions are going together, they are all used
to set up the correct page flags on the different sections.
As module_enable_x() is used independently of
CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX, build strict_rwx.c all the time and
use IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX) when relevant.

module_enable_x() has nothing to do with CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_STRICT_MODULE_RWX
allthough by coincidence architectures who need module_enable_x() are
selection CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_STRICT_MODULE_RWX.
Enable module_enable_x() for everyone everytime. If an architecture
already has module text set executable, it's a no-op.
Don't check text_size alignment. When CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX is set
the verification is already done in frob_rodata(). When
CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX is not set it is not a big deal to have the
start of data as executable. Just make sure we entirely get the last
page when the boundary is not aligned.
And don't BUG on misaligned base as some architectures like nios2
use kmalloc() for allocating modules. So just bail out in that case.
If that's a problem, a page fault will occur later anyway.
