Pull kcfi updates from Kees Cook:
 "This replaces the prior support for Clang's standard Control Flow
  Integrity (CFI) instrumentation, which has required a lot of special
  conditions (e.g. LTO) and work-arounds.

  The new implementation ("Kernel CFI") is specific to C, directly
  designed for the Linux kernel, and takes advantage of architectural
  features like x86's IBT. This series retains arm64 support and adds
  x86 support.

  GCC support is expected in the future[1], and additional "generic"
  architectural support is expected soon[2].

  Summary:

   - treewide: Remove old CFI support details

   - arm64: Replace Clang CFI support with Clang KCFI support

   - x86: Introduce Clang KCFI support"

kallsyms: support "big" kernel symbols

2022-09-28T06:56:08+00:00

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.

kallsyms: move declarations to internal header

2022-07-18T00:31:39+00:00

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/dwarves/tree/remove_percpu_restriction_1
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.

bpf: add a ksym BPF iterator

2022-07-12T22:27:19+00:00

add a "ksym" iterator which provides access to a "struct kallsym_iter"
for each symbol.  Intent is to support more flexible symbol parsing
as discussed in [1].

ftrace: Add ftrace_lookup_symbols function

2022-05-10T21:42:06+00:00

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.

Rather than adding another ifdef option let's make the function
