treewide: Convert macro and uses of section(foo) to section("foo")

2020-10-25T21:51:49+00:00

Use a more generic form for __section that requires quotes to avoid
complications with clang and gcc differences.

Remove the quote operator # from compiler_attributes.h __section macro.

Convert all unquoted __section(foo) uses to quoted __section("foo").
Also convert __attribute__((section("foo"))) uses to __section("foo")
even if the __attribute__ has multiple list entry forms.

Conversion done using the script at:

treewide: Use fallthrough pseudo-keyword

2020-08-23T22:36:59+00:00

Replace the existing /* fall through */ comments and its variants with
the new pseudo-keyword macro fallthrough[1]. Also, remove unnecessary
fall-through markings when it is the case.

kallsyms: Refactor kallsyms_show_value() to take cred

2020-07-08T22:59:57+00:00

In order to perform future tests against the cred saved during open(),
switch kallsyms_show_value() to operate on a cred, and have all current
callers pass current_cred(). This makes it very obvious where callers
are checking the wrong credential in their "read" contexts. These will
be fixed in the coming patches.

Additionally switch return value to bool, since it is always used as a
direct permission check, not a 0-on-success, negative-on-error style
function return.

ftrace: Add symbols for ftrace trampolines

2020-06-15T12:09:49+00:00

Symbols are needed for tools to describe instruction addresses. Pages
allocated for ftrace's purposes need symbols to be created for them.
Add such symbols to be visible via /proc/kallsyms.

Example on x86 with CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE=y

	# echo function > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
	# cat /proc/kallsyms | grep '\[__builtin__ftrace\]'
	ffffffffc0238000 t ftrace_trampoline    [__builtin__ftrace]

Note: This patch adds "__builtin__ftrace" as a module name in /proc/kallsyms for
symbols for pages allocated for ftrace's purposes, even though "__builtin__ftrace"
is not a module.

kprobes: Add symbols for kprobe insn pages

2020-06-15T12:09:48+00:00

Symbols are needed for tools to describe instruction addresses. Pages
allocated for kprobe's purposes need symbols to be created for them.
Add such symbols to be visible via /proc/kallsyms.

Note: kprobe insn pages are not used if ftrace is configured. To see the
effect of this patch, the kernel must be configured with:

	# CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER is not set
	CONFIG_KPROBES=y

and for optimised kprobes:

	CONFIG_OPTPROBES=y

Example on x86:

	# perf probe __schedule
	Added new event:
	  probe:__schedule     (on __schedule)
	# cat /proc/kallsyms | grep '\[__builtin__kprobes\]'
	ffffffffc00d4000 t kprobe_insn_page     [__builtin__kprobes]
	ffffffffc00d6000 t kprobe_optinsn_page  [__builtin__kprobes]

Note: This patch adds "__builtin__kprobes" as a module name in
/proc/kallsyms for symbols for pages allocated for kprobes' purposes, even
though "__builtin__kprobes" is not a module.

kallsyms: unexport kallsyms_lookup_name() and kallsyms_on_each_symbol()

2020-04-07T17:43:44+00:00

kallsyms_lookup_name() and kallsyms_on_each_symbol() are exported to
modules despite having no in-tree users and being wide open to abuse by
out-of-tree modules that can use them as a method to invoke arbitrary
non-exported kernel functions.

Unexport kallsyms_lookup_name() and kallsyms_on_each_symbol().

proc: convert everything to "struct proc_ops"

2020-02-04T03:05:26+00:00

The most notable change is DEFINE_SHOW_ATTRIBUTE macro split in
seq_file.h.

Conversion rule is:

	llseek		=> proc_lseek
	unlocked_ioctl	=> proc_ioctl

	xxx		=> proc_xxx

	delete ".owner = THIS_MODULE" line
