kallsyms is a directory of all the symbols in the vmlinux binary, and so
creating it is somewhat of a chicken-and-egg problem, as its non-zero
size affects the layout of the binary, and therefore the values of the
symbols.
For this reason, the kernel is linked more than once, and the first pass
does not include any kallsyms data at all. For the linker to accept
this, the symbol declarations describing the kallsyms metadata are
emitted as having weak linkage, so they can remain unsatisfied. During
the subsequent passes, the weak references are satisfied by the kallsyms
metadata that was constructed based on information gathered from the
preceding passes.
Weak references lead to somewhat worse codegen, because taking their
address may need to produce NULL (if the reference was unsatisfied), and
this is not usually supported by RIP or PC relative symbol references.
Given that these references are ultimately always satisfied in the final
link, let's drop the weak annotation, and instead, provide fallback
definitions in the linker script that are only emitted if an unsatisfied
reference exists.
While at it, drop the FRV specific annotation that these symbols reside
in .rodata - FRV is long gone.

All users of cleanup_symbol_name() do not use the return value.
So let us change the return value of cleanup_symbol_name() to
'void' to reflect its usage pattern.

Kernel test robot reported a kallsyms_test failure when clang lto is
enabled (thin or full) and CONFIG_KALLSYMS_SELFTEST is also enabled.
I can reproduce in my local environment with the following error message
with thin lto:
[ 1.877897] kallsyms_selftest: Test for 1750th symbol failed: (tsc_cs_mark_unstable) addr=ffffffff81038090
[ 1.877901] kallsyms_selftest: abort
It appears that commit 8cc32a9bbf29 ("kallsyms: strip LTO-only suffixes
from promoted global functions") caused the failure. Commit 8cc32a9bbf29
changed cleanup_symbol_name() based on ".llvm." instead of '.' where
".llvm." is appended to a before-lto-optimization local symbol name.
We need to propagate such knowledge in kallsyms_selftest.c as well.
Further more, compare_symbol_name() in kallsyms.c needs change as well.
In scripts/kallsyms.c, kallsyms_names and kallsyms_seqs_of_names are used
to record symbol names themselves and index to symbol names respectively.
For example:
kallsyms_names:
...
__amd_smn_rw._entry <== seq 1000
__amd_smn_rw._entry.5 <== seq 1001
__amd_smn_rw.llvm.<hash> <== seq 1002
...
kallsyms_seqs_of_names are sorted based on cleanup_symbol_name() through, so
the order in kallsyms_seqs_of_names actually has
index 1000: seq 1002 <== __amd_smn_rw.llvm.<hash> (actual symbol comparison using '__amd_smn_rw')
index 1001: seq 1000 <== __amd_smn_rw._entry
index 1002: seq 1001 <== __amd_smn_rw._entry.5
Let us say at a particular point, at index 1000, symbol '__amd_smn_rw.llvm.<hash>'
is comparing to '__amd_smn_rw._entry' where '__amd_smn_rw._entry' is the one to
search e.g., with function kallsyms_on_each_match_symbol(). The current implementation
will find out '__amd_smn_rw._entry' is less than '__amd_smn_rw.llvm.<hash>' and
then continue to search e.g., index 999 and never found a match although the actual
index 1001 is a match.
To fix this issue, let us do cleanup_symbol_name() first and then do comparison.
In the above case, comparing '__amd_smn_rw' vs '__amd_smn_rw._entry' and
'__amd_smn_rw._entry' being greater than '__amd_smn_rw', the next comparison will
be > index 1000 and eventually index 1001 will be hit an a match is found.
For any symbols not having '.llvm.' substr, there is no functionality change
for compare_symbol_name().

Commit 6eb4bd92c1ce ("kallsyms: strip LTO suffixes from static functions")
stripped all function/variable suffixes started with '.' regardless
of whether those suffixes are generated at LTO mode or not. In fact,
as far as I know, in LTO mode, when a static function/variable is
promoted to the global scope, '.llvm.<...>' suffix is added.
The existing mechanism breaks live patch for a LTO kernel even if
no <symbol>.llvm.<...> symbols are involved. For example, for the following
kernel symbols:
$ grep bpf_verifier_vlog /proc/kallsyms
ffffffff81549f60 t bpf_verifier_vlog
ffffffff8268b430 d bpf_verifier_vlog._entry
ffffffff8282a958 d bpf_verifier_vlog._entry_ptr
ffffffff82e12a1f d bpf_verifier_vlog.__already_done
'bpf_verifier_vlog' is a static function. '_entry', '_entry_ptr' and
'__already_done' are static variables used inside 'bpf_verifier_vlog',
so llvm promotes them to file-level static with prefix 'bpf_verifier_vlog.'.
Note that the func-level to file-level static function promotion also
happens without LTO.
Given a symbol name 'bpf_verifier_vlog', with LTO kernel, current mechanism will
return 4 symbols to live patch subsystem which current live patching
subsystem cannot handle it. With non-LTO kernel, only one symbol
is returned.
In [1], we have a lengthy discussion, the suggestion is to separate two
cases:
(1). new symbols with suffix which are generated regardless of whether
LTO is enabled or not, and
(2). new symbols with suffix generated only when LTO is enabled.
The cleanup_symbol_name() should only remove suffixes for case (2).
Case (1) should not be changed so it can work uniformly with or without LTO.
This patch removed LTO-only suffix '.llvm.<...>' so live patching and
tracing should work the same way for non-LTO kernel.
The cleanup_symbol_name() in scripts/kallsyms.c is also changed to have the same
filtering pattern so both kernel and kallsyms tool have the same
expectation on the order of symbols.

[ There was a mis-communication about the concurrent module load changes

patch. So some of the module updates were left hanging in the email
ether, and I just committed them separately.
It's my bad - I should have made it more clear that I expected my

linux-next, but hopefully that won't cause any issues - Linus ]

strlcpy() reads the entire source buffer first.
This read may exceed the destination size limit.
This is both inefficient and can lead to linear read
overflows if a source string is not NUL-terminated [1].
In an effort to remove strlcpy() completely [2], replace
strlcpy() here with strscpy().
No return values were used, so direct replacement is safe.

function kallsyms_show_value() is used by other parts
like modules_open(), kprobes_read() etc. which can work in case of
!KALLSYMS also.
e.g. as of now lsmod do not show module address if KALLSYMS is disabled.
since kallsyms_show_value() defination is not present, it returns false
in !KALLSYMS.
/ # lsmod
test 12288 0 - Live 0x0000000000000000 (O)
So kallsyms_show_value() can be made generic
without dependency on KALLSYMS.
Thus moving out function to a new file ksyms_common.c.
With this patch code is just moved to new file
and no functional change.

Added test cases for basic functions and performance of functions
kallsyms_lookup_name(), kallsyms_on_each_symbol() and
kallsyms_on_each_match_symbol(). It also calculates the compression rate
of the kallsyms compression algorithm for the current symbol set.
The basic functions test begins by testing a set of symbols whose address
values are known. Then, traverse all symbol addresses and find the
corresponding symbol name based on the address. It's impossible to
determine whether these addresses are correct, but we can use the above
three functions along with the addresses to test each other. Due to the
traversal operation of kallsyms_on_each_symbol() is too slow, only 60
symbols can be tested in one second, so let it test on average once
every 128 symbols. The other two functions validate all symbols.
If the basic functions test is passed, print only performance test
results. If the test fails, print error information, but do not perform
subsequent performance tests.
Start self-test automatically after system startup if
CONFIG_KALLSYMS_SELFTEST=y.

Function kallsyms_on_each_symbol() traverses all symbols and submits each
symbol to the hook 'fn' for judgment and processing. For some cases, the
hook actually only handles the matched symbol, such as livepatch.
Because all symbols are currently sorted by name, all the symbols with the
same name are clustered together. Function kallsyms_lookup_names() gets
the start and end positions of the set corresponding to the specified
name. So we can easily and quickly traverse all the matches.
The test results are as follows (twice): (x86)
kallsyms_on_each_match_symbol: 7454, 7984
kallsyms_on_each_symbol : 11733809, 11785803
kallsyms_on_each_match_symbol() consumes only 0.066% of
kallsyms_on_each_symbol()'s time. In other words, 1523x better
performance.

kallsyms_seqs_of_names[] records the symbol index sorted by address, the
maximum value in kallsyms_seqs_of_names[] is the number of symbols. And

index. This can help us save (1 * kallsyms_num_syms) bytes of memory.

Currently, to search for a symbol, we need to expand the symbols in
'kallsyms_names' one by one, and then use the expanded string for
comparison. It's O(n).
If we sort names in ascending order like addresses, we can also use
binary search. It's O(log(n)).
In order not to change the implementation of "/proc/kallsyms", the table
kallsyms_names[] is still stored in a one-to-one correspondence with the
address in ascending order.
Add array kallsyms_seqs_of_names[], it's indexed by the sequence number
of the sorted names, and the corresponding content is the sequence number
of the sorted addresses. For example:
Assume that the index of NameX in array kallsyms_seqs_of_names[] is 'i',
the content of kallsyms_seqs_of_names[i] is 'k', then the corresponding
address of NameX is kallsyms_addresses[k]. The offset in kallsyms_names[]
is get_symbol_offset(k).
Note that the memory usage will increase by (4 * kallsyms_num_syms)
bytes, the next two patches will reduce (1 * kallsyms_num_syms) bytes
and properly handle the case CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=y.
Performance test results: (x86)
Before:
min=234, max=10364402, avg=5206926
min=267, max=11168517, avg=5207587
After:
min=1016, max=90894, avg=7272
min=1014, max=93470, avg=7293
The average lookup performance of kallsyms_lookup_name() improved 715x.

Rust symbols can become quite long due to namespacing introduced
by modules, types, traits, generics, etc.
Increasing to 255 is not enough in some cases, therefore
introduce longer lengths to the symbol table.
In order to avoid increasing all lengths to 2 bytes (since most
of them are small, including many Rust ones), use ULEB128 to
keep smaller symbols in 1 byte, with the rest in 2 bytes.

Patch series "Expose kallsyms data in vmcoreinfo note".
The kernel can be configured to contain a lot of introspection or
debugging information built-in, such as ORC for unwinding stack traces,
BTF for type information, and of course kallsyms. Debuggers could use
this information to navigate a core dump or live system, but they need to
be able to find it.
This patch series adds the necessary symbols into vmcoreinfo, which would
allow a debugger to find and interpret the kallsyms table. Using the
kallsyms data, the debugger can then lookup any symbol, allowing it to
find ORC, BTF, or any other useful data.
This would allow a live kernel, or core dump, to be debugged without any
DWARF debuginfo. This is useful for many cases: the debuginfo may not
have been generated, or you may not want to deploy the large files
everywhere you need them.
I've demonstrated a proof of concept for this at LSF/MM+BPF during a
lighting talk. Using a work-in-progress branch of the drgn debugger, and
an extended set of BTF generated by a patched version of dwarves, I've
been able to open a core dump without any DWARF info and do basic tasks
such as enumerating slab caches, block devices, tasks, and doing
backtraces. I hope this series can be a first step toward a new
possibility of "DWARFless debugging".
Related discussion around the BTF side of this:
https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/586a6288-704a-f7a7-b256-e18a675927df@oracle.com/T/#u

https://github.com/brenns10/drgn/tree/kallsyms_plus_btf
This patch (of 2):
To include kallsyms data in the vmcoreinfo note, we must make the symbol
declarations visible outside of kallsyms.c. Move these to a new internal
header file.

Adding ftrace_lookup_symbols function that resolves array of symbols
with single pass over kallsyms.
The user provides array of string pointers with count and pointer to
allocated array for resolved values.
int ftrace_lookup_symbols(const char **sorted_syms, size_t cnt,
unsigned long *addrs)
It iterates all kallsyms symbols and tries to loop up each in provided
symbols array with bsearch. The symbols array needs to be sorted by
name for this reason.
We also check each symbol to pass ftrace_location, because this API
will be used for fprobe symbols resolving.

livepatch: Avoid CPU hogging with cond_resched

When initializing a 'struct klp_object' in klp_init_object_loaded(), and
performing relocations in klp_resolve_symbols(), klp_find_object_symbol()
is invoked to look up the address of a symbol in an already-loaded module
(or vmlinux). This, in turn, calls kallsyms_on_each_symbol() or
module_kallsyms_on_each_symbol() to find the address of the symbol that is
being patched.
It turns out that symbol lookups often take up the most CPU time when
enabling and disabling a patch, and may hog the CPU and cause other tasks
on that CPU's runqueue to starve -- even in paths where interrupts are
enabled. For example, under certain workloads, enabling a KLP patch with
many objects or functions may cause ksoftirqd to be starved, and thus for
interrupts to be backlogged and delayed. This may end up causing TCP
retransmits on the host where the KLP patch is being applied, and in
general, may cause any interrupts serviced by softirqd to be delayed while
the patch is being applied.
So as to ensure that kallsyms_on_each_symbol() does not end up hogging the
CPU, this patch adds a call to cond_resched() in kallsyms_on_each_symbol()
and module_kallsyms_on_each_symbol(), which are invoked when doing a symbol
lookup in vmlinux and a module respectively. Without this patch, if a
live-patch is applied on a 36-core Intel host with heavy TCP traffic, a
~10x spike is observed in TCP retransmits while the patch is being applied.
Additionally, collecting sched events with perf indicates that ksoftirqd is
awakened ~1.3 seconds before it's eventually scheduled. With the patch, no
increase in TCP retransmit events is observed, and ksoftirqd is scheduled
shortly after it's awakened.

Similar to:
commit 8b8e6b5d3b01 ("kallsyms: strip ThinLTO hashes from static
functions")
It's very common for compilers to modify the symbol name for static
functions as part of optimizing transformations. That makes hooking
static functions (that weren't inlined or DCE'd) with kprobes difficult.
LLVM has yet another name mangling scheme used by thin LTO.
Combine handling of the various schemes by truncating after the first
'.'. Strip off these suffixes so that we can continue to hook such
static functions. Clang releases prior to clang-13 would use '$'
instead of '.'

Let's make kernel stacktraces easier to identify by including the build
ID[1] of a module if the stacktrace is printing a symbol from a module.
This makes it simpler for developers to locate a kernel module's full
debuginfo for a particular stacktrace. Combined with
scripts/decode_stracktrace.sh, a developer can download the matching
debuginfo from a debuginfod[2] server and find the exact file and line
number for the functions plus offsets in a stacktrace that match the
module. This is especially useful for pstore crash debugging where the
kernel crashes are recorded in something like console-ramoops and the
recovery kernel/modules are different or the debuginfo doesn't exist on
the device due to space concerns (the debuginfo can be too large for space
limited devices).
Originally, I put this on the %pS format, but that was quickly rejected
given that %pS is used in other places such as ftrace where build IDs
aren't meaningful. There was some discussions on the list to put every
module build ID into the "Modules linked in:" section of the stacktrace
message but that quickly becomes very hard to read once you have more than
three or four modules linked in. It also provides too much information
when we don't expect each module to be traversed in a stacktrace. Having
the build ID for modules that aren't important just makes things messy.
Splitting it to multiple lines for each module quickly explodes the number
of lines printed in an oops too, possibly wrapping the warning off the
console. And finally, trying to stash away each module used in a
callstack to provide the ID of each symbol printed is cumbersome and would
require changes to each architecture to stash away modules and return
their build IDs once unwinding has completed.
Instead, we opt for the simpler approach of introducing new printk formats
'%pS[R]b' for "pointer symbolic backtrace with module build ID" and '%pBb'
for "pointer backtrace with module build ID" and then updating the few
places in the architecture layer where the stacktrace is printed to use
this new format.

first symbol
An arm64 kernel configured with
CONFIG_KPROBES=y
CONFIG_KALLSYMS=y
# CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL is not set
CONFIG_KALLSYMS_BASE_RELATIVE=y
reports the following kprobe failure:
[ 0.032677] kprobes: failed to populate blacklist: -22
[ 0.033376] Please take care of using kprobes.
It appears that kprobe fails to retrieve the symbol at address
0xffff000010081000, despite this symbol being in System.map:
ffff000010081000 T __exception_text_start
This symbol is part of the first group of aliases in the
kallsyms_offsets array (symbol names generated using ugly hacks in
scripts/kallsyms.c):
kallsyms_offsets:
.long 0x1000 // do_undefinstr
.long 0x1000 // efi_header_end
.long 0x1000 // _stext
.long 0x1000 // __exception_text_start
.long 0x12b0 // do_cp15instr
Looking at the implementation of get_symbol_pos(), it returns the
lowest index for aliasing symbols. In this case, it return 0.
But kallsyms_lookup_size_offset() considers 0 as a failure, which
is obviously wrong (there is definitely a valid symbol living there).
In turn, the kprobe blacklisting stops abruptly, hence the original
error.
A CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL kernel wouldn't fail as there is always
some random symbols at the beginning of this array, which are never
looked up via kallsyms_lookup_size_offset.
Fix it by considering that get_symbol_pos() is always successful
(which is consistent with the other uses of this function).

- Reduce the risk of softlockup:
Pass the console owner in a busy loop.
This is a new approach to the old problem. It was first proposed by
Steven Rostedt on Kernel Summit 2017. It marks a context in which
the console_lock owner calls console drivers and could not sleep.
On the other side, printk() callers could detect this state and use
a busy wait instead of a simple console_trylock(). Finally, the
console_lock owner checks if there is a busy waiter at the end of
the special context and eventually passes the console_lock to the
waiter.
The hand-off works surprisingly well and helps in many situations.
Well, there is still a possibility of the softlockup, for example,
when the flood of messages stops and the last owner still has too
much to flush.
There is increasing number of people having problems with
printk-related softlockups. We might eventually need to get better
solution. Anyway, this looks like a good start and promising
direction.
- Do not allow to schedule in console_unlock() called from printk():
This reverts an older controversial commit. The reschedule helped
to avoid softlockups. But it also slowed down the console output.
This patch is obsoleted by the new console waiter logic described
above. In fact, the reschedule made the hand-off less effective.
- Deprecate "%pf" and "%pF" format specifier:
It was needed on ia64, ppc64 and parisc64 to dereference function
descriptors and show the real function address. It is done
transparently by "%ps" and "pS" format specifier now.
Sergey Senozhatsky found that all the function descriptors were in
a special elf section and could be easily detected.
- Remove printk_symbol() API:
It has been obsoleted by "%pS" format specifier, and this change
helped to remove few continuous lines and a less intuitive old API.
- Remove redundant memsets:
Sergey removed unnecessary memset when processing printk.devkmsg
command line option.

No more print_symbol()/__print_symbol() users left, remove these
symbols.
It was a very old API that encouraged people use continuous lines.
It had been obsoleted by %pS format specifier in a normal printk()

dereference_symbol_descriptor() invokes appropriate ARCH specific
function descriptor dereference callbacks:
- dereference_kernel_function_descriptor() if the pointer is a
kernel symbol;
- dereference_module_function_descriptor() if the pointer is a
module symbol.
This is the last step needed to make '%pS/%ps' smart enough to
handle function descriptor dereference on affected ARCHs and
to retire '%pF/%pf'.
To refresh it:
Some architectures (ia64, ppc64, parisc64) use an indirect pointer
for C function pointers - the function pointer points to a function
descriptor and we need to dereference it to get the actual function
pointer.
Function descriptors live in .opd elf section and all affected
ARCHs (ia64, ppc64, parisc64) handle it properly for kernel and
modules. So we, technically, can decide if the dereference is
needed by simply looking at the pointer: if it belongs to .opd
section then we need to dereference it.
The kernel and modules have their own .opd sections, obviously,
that's why we need to split dereference_function_descriptor()
and use separate kernel and module dereference arch callbacks.

The conditional kallsym hex printing used a special fixed-width '%lx'

Not only is it annoying to have one single flag for all pointers, as if
that was a global choice and all kernel pointers are the same, but %pK
can't get the 'access' vs 'open' time check right anyway.
So make the /proc/kallsyms pointer value code use logic specific to that
particular file. We do continue to honor kptr_restrict, but the default
(which is unrestricted) is changed to instead take expected users into
account, and restrict access by default.
Right now the only actual expected user is kernel profiling, which has a
separate sysctl flag for kernel profile access. There may be others.

If a module is loaded while tracing is enabled, then there's a possibility
that the module init functions were traced. These functions have their name
and address stored by ftrace such that it can translate the function address
that is written into the buffer into a human readable function name.
As userspace tools may be doing the same, they need a way to map function
names to their address as well. This is done through reading /proc/kallsyms.

Long standing issue with JITed programs is that stack traces from
function tracing check whether a given address is kernel code
through {__,}kernel_text_address(), which checks for code in core
kernel, modules and dynamically allocated ftrace trampolines. But
what is still missing is BPF JITed programs (interpreted programs
are not an issue as __bpf_prog_run() will be attributed to them),
thus when a stack trace is triggered, the code walking the stack
won't see any of the JITed ones. The same for address correlation
done from user space via reading /proc/kallsyms. This is read by
tools like perf, but the latter is also useful for permanent live
tracing with eBPF itself in combination with stack maps when other
eBPF types are part of the callchain. See offwaketime example on
dumping stack from a map.
This work tries to tackle that issue by making the addresses and
symbols known to the kernel. The lookup from *kernel_text_address()
is implemented through a latched RB tree that can be read under
RCU in fast-path that is also shared for symbol/size/offset lookup
for a specific given address in kallsyms. The slow-path iteration
through all symbols in the seq file done via RCU list, which holds
a tiny fraction of all exported ksyms, usually below 0.1 percent.
Function symbols are exported as bpf_prog_<tag>, in order to aide
debugging and attribution. This facility is currently enabled for
root-only when bpf_jit_kallsyms is set to 1, and disabled if hardening
is active in any mode. The rationale behind this is that still a lot
of systems ship with world read permissions on kallsyms thus addresses
should not get suddenly exposed for them. If that situation gets
much better in future, we always have the option to change the
default on this. Likewise, unprivileged programs are not allowed
to add entries there either, but that is less of a concern as most
such programs types relevant in this context are for root-only anyway.
If enabled, call graphs and stack traces will then show a correct
attribution; one example is illustrated below, where the trace is
now visible in tooling such as perf script --kallsyms=/proc/kallsyms
and friends.

Similar to how relative extables are implemented, it is possible to emit
the kallsyms table in such a way that it contains offsets relative to
some anchor point in the kernel image rather than absolute addresses.
On 64-bit architectures, it cuts the size of the kallsyms address table
in half, since offsets between kernel symbols can typically be expressed
in 32 bits. This saves several hundreds of kilobytes of permanent
.rodata on average. In addition, the kallsyms address table is no
longer subject to dynamic relocation when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is in
effect, so the relocation work done after decompression now doesn't have
to do relocation updates for all these values. This saves up to 24
bytes (i.e., the size of a ELF64 RELA relocation table entry) per value,
which easily adds up to a couple of megabytes of uncompressed __init
data on ppc64 or arm64. Even if these relocation entries typically
compress well, the combined size reduction of 2.8 MB uncompressed for a
ppc64_defconfig build (of which 2.4 MB is __init data) results in a ~500
KB space saving in the compressed image.
Since it is useful for some architectures (like x86) to retain the
ability to emit absolute values as well, this patch also adds support
for capturing both absolute and relative values when
KALLSYMS_ABSOLUTE_PERCPU is in effect, by emitting absolute per-cpu
addresses as positive 32-bit values, and addresses relative to the
lowest encountered relative symbol as negative values, which are
subtracted from the runtime address of this base symbol to produce the
actual address.
Support for the above is enabled by default for all architectures except
IA-64 and Tile-GX, whose symbols are too far apart to capture in this
manner.

We don't export any symbols > 128 characters, but if we did then
kallsyms_expand_symbol() would overflow the buffer handed to it.
So we need check destination buffer length when copying.
the related test:
if we define an EXPORT function which name more than 128.
will panic when call kallsyms_lookup_name by init_kprobes on booting.
after check the length (provide this patch), it is ok.
Implementaion:
add additional destination buffer length parameter (maxlen)
if uncompressed string is too long (>= maxlen), it will be truncated.
not check the parameters whether valid, since it is a static function.

Using %ps in a printk format will sometimes fail silently and print the
empty string if the address passed in does not match a symbol that
kallsyms knows about. But using %pS will fall back to printing the full
address if kallsyms can't find the symbol. Make %ps act the same as %pS
by falling back to printing the address.
While we're here also make %ps print the module that a symbol comes from
so that it matches what %pS already does. Take this simple function for
example (in a module):
static void test_printk(void)
{
int test;
pr_info("with pS: %pS\n", &test);
pr_info("with ps: %ps\n", &test);

* 'core-fixes-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip:
futex: Fix WARN_ON() test for UP
WARN_ON_SMP(): Allow use in if() statements on UP
x86, dumpstack: Use %pB format specifier for stack trace
vsprintf: Introduce %pB format specifier
lockdep: Remove unused 'factor' variable from lockdep_stats_show()
|
|
The %pB format specifier is for stack backtrace. Its handler
sprint_backtrace() does symbol lookup using (address-1) to
ensure the address will not point outside of the function.
If there is a tail-call to the function marked "noreturn",
gcc optimized out the code after the call then causes saved
return address points outside of the function (i.e. the start
of the next function), so pollutes call trace somewhat.
This patch adds the %pB printk mechanism that allows architecture
call-trace printout functions to improve backtrace printouts.

In an effort to reduce kernel address leaks that might be used to help
target kernel privilege escalation exploits, this patch uses %pK when
displaying addresses in /proc/kallsyms, /proc/modules, and
/sys/module/*/sections/*.
Note that this changes %x to %p, so some legitimately 0 values in
/proc/kallsyms would have changed from 00000000 to "(null)". To avoid
this, "(null)" is not used when using the "K" format. Anything that was
already successfully parsing "(null)" in addition to full hex digits
should have no problem with this change. (Thanks to Joe Perches for the
suggestion.) Due to the %x to %p, "void *" casts are needed since these
addresses are already "unsigned long" everywhere internally, due to their
starting life as ELF section offsets.

This reverts commit 59365d136d205cc20fe666ca7f89b1c5001b0d5a.
It turns out that this can break certain existing user land setups.
Quoth Sarah Sharp:
"On Wednesday, I updated my branch to commit 460781b from linus' tree,
and my box would not boot. klogd segfaulted, which stalled the whole
system.
At first I thought it actually hung the box, but it continued booting
after 5 minutes, and I was able to log in. It dropped back to the
text console instead of the graphical bootup display for that period
of time. dmesg surprisingly still works. I've bisected the problem
down to this commit (commit 59365d136d205cc20fe666ca7f89b1c5001b0d5a)
The box is running klogd 1.5.5ubuntu3 (from Jaunty). Yes, I know
that's old. I read the bit in the commit about changing the
permissions of kallsyms after boot, but if I can't boot that doesn't
help."
So let's just keep the old default, and encourage distributions to do
the "chmod -r /proc/kallsyms" in their bootup scripts. This is not
worth a kernel option to change default behavior, since it's so easily
done in user space.

Making /proc/kallsyms readable only for root by default makes it
slightly harder for attackers to write generic kernel exploits by
removing one source of knowledge where things are in the kernel.
This is the second submit, discussion happened on this on first submit
and mostly concerned that this is just one hole of the sieve ... but
one of the bigger ones.
Changing the permissions of at least System.map and vmlinux is also
required to fix the same set, but a packaging issue.
Target of this starter patch and follow ups is removing any kind of
kernel space address information leak from the kernel.
[ Side note: the default of root-only reading is the "safe" value, and
it's easy enough to then override at any time after boot. The /proc
filesystem allows root to change the permissions with a regular
chmod, so you can "revert" this at run-time by simply doing
chmod og+r /proc/kallsyms
as root if you really want regular users to see the kernel symbols.
It does help some tools like "perf" figure them out without any
setup, so it may well make sense in some situations. - Linus ]

implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Building upon parts of the module stripping patch, this patch
introduces similar stripping for vmlinux when CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL=y.
Using CONFIG_KALLSYMS_STRIP_GENERATED reduces the overhead of
CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL from 245k/310k to 65k/80k for the (i386/x86-64)
kernels I tested with.
The patch also does away with the need to special case the kallsyms-
internal symbols by making them available even in the first linking
stage.
While it is a generated file, the patch includes the changes to
scripts/genksyms/keywords.c_shipped, as I'm unsure what the procedure
here is.

sprint_symbol(), itself used when dumping stacks, has been wasting 128
bytes of stack: lookup the symbol directly into the buffer supplied by the
caller, instead of using a locally declared namebuf.
I believe the name != buffer strcpy() is obsolete: the design here dates
from when module symbol lookup pointed into a supposedly const but sadly
volatile table; nowadays it copies, but an uncalled strcpy() looks better
here than the risk of a recursive BUG_ON().

When passing a zero address to kallsyms_lookup(), the kernel thought it was
a valid kernel address, even if it is not. This is because is_ksym_addr()
called is_kernel_extratext() and checked against labels that don't exist on
many archs (which default as zero). Since PPC was the only kernel which
defines _extra_text, (in 2005), and no longer needs it, this patch removes
_extra_text support.

KSYM_NAME_LEN is peculiar in that it does not include the space for the
trailing '\0', forcing all users to use KSYM_NAME_LEN + 1 when allocating
buffer. This is nonsense and error-prone. Moreover, when the caller
forgets that it's very likely to subtly bite back by corrupting the stack
because the last position of the buffer is always cleared to zero.
This patch increments KSYM_NAME_LEN by one and updates code accordingly.
* off-by-one bug in asm-powerpc/kprobes.h::kprobe_lookup_name() macro
is fixed.
* Where MODULE_NAME_LEN and KSYM_NAME_LEN were used together,
MODULE_NAME_LEN was treated as if it didn't include space for the
trailing '\0'. Fix it.

global (or external).

condition by converting non-exported symbols types to lower case when

Some uses of kallsyms_lookup() do not need to find out the name of a symbol
and its module's name it belongs. This is specially true in arch specific
code, which needs to unwind the stack to show the back trace during oops
(mips is an example). In this specific case, we just need to retreive the
function's size and the offset of the active intruction inside it.
Adds a new entry "kallsyms_lookup_size_offset()" This new entry does
exactly the same as kallsyms_lookup() but does not require any buffers to
store any names.
It returns 0 if it fails otherwise 1.

In an effort to make kprobe modules more portable, here is a patch that:
o Introduces the "symbol_name" field to struct kprobe.
The symbol->address resolution now happens in the kernel in an
architecture agnostic manner. 64-bit powerpc users no longer have
to specify the ".symbols"
o Introduces the "offset" field to struct kprobe to allow a user to
specify an offset into a symbol.
o The legacy mechanism of specifying the kprobe.addr is still supported.
However, if both the kprobe.addr and kprobe.symbol_name are specified,
probe registration fails with an -EINVAL.
o The symbol resolution code uses kallsyms_lookup_name(). So
CONFIG_KPROBES now depends on CONFIG_KALLSYMS
o Apparantly kprobe modules were the only legitimate out-of-tree user of
the kallsyms_lookup_name() EXPORT. Now that the symbol resolution
happens in-kernel, remove the EXPORT as suggested by Christoph Hellwig
o Modify tcp_probe.c that uses the kprobe interface so as to make it
work on multiple platforms (in its earlier form, the code wouldn't
work, say, on powerpc)

Got a customer bug report (https://bugzilla.novell.com/190296) about kernel
symbols longer than 127 characters which end up in a string buffer that is
not NULL terminated, leading to garbage in /proc/kallsyms. Using strlcpy
prevents this from happening, even though such symbols still won't come out
right.
A better fix would be to not use a fixed-size buffer, but it's probably not
worth the trouble. (Modversion'ed symbols even have a length limit of 60.)

I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of
sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h
from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h
by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after
this disentangling (patch to follow later).
However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this.
In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as
possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for
i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real
patch. This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only
adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other. So if any
hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it. My scripts
will pick it up again in the next round.

The PPC32 kernel puts platform-specific functions into separate sections so
that unneeded parts of it can be freed when we've booted and actually
worked out what we're running on today.
This makes kallsyms ignore those functions, because they're not between
_[se]text or _[se]inittext. Rather than teaching kallsyms about the
various pmac/chrp/etc sections, this patch adds '_[se]extratext' markers
for kallsyms.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
