mm/execmem, arch: convert remaining overrides of module_alloc to execmem

2024-05-14T07:31:43+00:00

Extend execmem parameters to accommodate more complex overrides of
module_alloc() by architectures.

This includes specification of a fallback range required by arm, arm64
and powerpc, EXECMEM_MODULE_DATA type required by powerpc, support for
allocation of KASAN shadow required by s390 and x86 and support for
late initialization of execmem required by arm64.

The core implementation of execmem_alloc() takes care of suppressing
warnings when the initial allocation fails but there is a fallback range
defined.

mm: introduce execmem_alloc() and execmem_free()

2024-05-14T07:31:43+00:00

module_alloc() is used everywhere as a mean to allocate memory for code.

Beside being semantically wrong, this unnecessarily ties all subsystems
that need to allocate code, such as ftrace, kprobes and BPF to modules and
puts the burden of code allocation to the modules code.

Several architectures override module_alloc() because of various
constraints where the executable memory can be located and this causes
additional obstacles for improvements of code allocation.

Start splitting code allocation from modules by introducing execmem_alloc()
and execmem_free() APIs.

Initially, execmem_alloc() is a wrapper for module_alloc() and
execmem_free() is a replacement of module_memfree() to allow updating all
call sites to use the new APIs.

Since architectures define different restrictions on placement,
permissions, alignment and other parameters for memory that can be used by
different subsystems that allocate executable memory, execmem_alloc() takes
a type argument, that will be used to identify the calling subsystem and to
allow architectures define parameters for ranges suitable for that
subsystem.

No functional changes.

kallsyms: replace deprecated strncpy with strscpy

2024-05-14T07:31:43+00:00

strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings
[1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string
interfaces. The goal is to remove its use completely [2].

namebuf is eventually cleaned of any trailing llvm suffixes using
strstr(). This hints that namebuf should be NUL-terminated.

static void cleanup_symbol_name(char *s)
{
	char *res;
	...
	res = strstr(s, ".llvm.");
	...
}

Due to this, use strscpy() over strncpy() as it guarantees
NUL-termination on the destination buffer. Drop the -1 from the length
calculation as it is no longer needed to ensure NUL-termination.

module: allow UNUSED_KSYMS_WHITELIST to be relative against objtree.

2024-05-14T07:31:43+00:00

If UNUSED_KSYMS_WHITELIST is a file generated
before Kbuild runs, and the source tree is in
a read-only filesystem, the developer must put
the file somewhere and specify an absolute
path to UNUSED_KSYMS_WHITELIST. This worked,
but if IKCONFIG=y, an absolute path is embedded
into .config and eventually into vmlinux, causing
the build to be less reproducible when building
on a different machine.

This patch makes the handling of
UNUSED_KSYMS_WHITELIST to be similar to
MODULE_SIG_KEY.

First, check if UNUSED_KSYMS_WHITELIST is an
absolute path, just as before this patch. If so,
use the path as is.

If it is a relative path, use wildcard to check
the existence of the file below objtree first.
If it does not exist, fall back to the original
behavior of adding $(srctree)/ before the value.

After this patch, the developer can put the generated
file in objtree, then use a relative path against
objtree in .config, eradicating any absolute paths
that may be evaluated differently on different machines.

lib: prevent module unloading if memory is not freed

Skip freeing module's data section if there are non-zero allocation tags
because otherwise, once these allocations are freed, the access to their
code tag would cause UAF.
