07cc2c931e livepatch: Improve the search performance of module_kallsyms_on_each_symbol()
Currently we traverse all symbols of all modules to find the specified
function for the specified module. But in reality, we just need to find
the given module and then traverse all the symbols in it.

Let's add a new parameter 'const char *modname' to function
module_kallsyms_on_each_symbol(), then we can compare the module names
directly in this function and call hook 'fn' after matching. If 'modname'
is NULL, the symbols of all modules are still traversed for compatibility
with other usage cases.

Phase1: mod1-->mod2..(subsequent modules do not need to be compared)
                |
Phase2:          -->f1-->f2-->f3

Assuming that there are m modules, each module has n symbols on average,
then the time complexity is reduced from O(m * n) to O(m) + O(n).

Pull modules updates from Luis Chamberlain:
 "Tux gets for xmas an improvement to the average lookup performance of
  kallsyms_lookup_name() by 715x thanks to the work by Zhen Lei, which
  upgraded our old implementation from being O(n) to O(log(n)), while
  also retaining the old implementation support on /proc/kallsyms.

  The only penalty was increasing the memory footprint by 3 *
  kallsyms_num_syms. Folks who want to improve this further now also
  have a dedicated selftest facility through KALLSYMS_SELFTEST.

  Stephen Boyd added zstd in-kernel decompression support, but the only
  users of this would be folks using the load-pin LSM because otherwise
  we do module decompression in userspace.

  The only other thing with mentioning is a minor boot time optimization
  by Rasmus Villemoes which deferes param_sysfs_init() to late init. The
  rest is cleanups and minor fixes"

4f1354d5c6 livepatch: Call klp_match_callback() in klp_find_callback() to avoid code duplication
The implementation of function klp_match_callback() is identical to the
partial implementation of function klp_find_callback(). So call function
klp_match_callback() in function klp_find_callback() instead of the

b8a94bfb33 kallsyms: increase maximum kernel symbol length to 512
Rust symbols can become quite long due to namespacing introduced
by modules, types, traits, generics, etc. For instance,
the following code:

    pub mod my_module {
        pub struct MyType;
        pub struct MyGenericType<T>(T);

        pub trait MyTrait {
            fn my_method() -> u32;
        }

        impl MyTrait for MyGenericType<MyType> {
            fn my_method() -> u32 {
                42
            }
        }
    }

generates a symbol of length 96 when using the upcoming v0 mangling scheme:

    _RNvXNtCshGpAVYOtgW1_7example9my_moduleINtB2_13MyGenericTypeNtB2_6MyTypeENtB2_7MyTrait9my_method

At the moment, Rust symbols may reach up to 300 in length.
Setting 512 as the maximum seems like a reasonable choice to
keep some headroom.

747f7a2901 livepatch: fix race between fork and KLP transition
The KLP transition code depends on the TIF_PATCH_PENDING and
the task->patch_state to stay in sync. On a normal (forward)
transition, TIF_PATCH_PENDING will be set on every task in
the system, while on a reverse transition (after a failed
forward one) first TIF_PATCH_PENDING will be cleared from
every task, followed by it being set on tasks that need to
be transitioned back to the original code.

However, the fork code copies over the TIF_PATCH_PENDING flag
from the parent to the child early on, in dup_task_struct and
setup_thread_stack. Much later, klp_copy_process will set
child->patch_state to match that of the parent.

However, the parent's patch_state may have been changed by KLP loading
or unloading since it was initially copied over into the child.

This results in the KLP code occasionally hitting this warning in
klp_complete_transition:

        for_each_process_thread(g, task) {
                WARN_ON_ONCE(test_tsk_thread_flag(task, TIF_PATCH_PENDING));
                task->patch_state = KLP_UNDEFINED;
        }

Set, or clear, the TIF_PATCH_PENDING flag in the child task
depending on whether or not it is needed at the time
klp_copy_process is called, at a point in copy_process where the
tasklist_lock is held exclusively, preventing races with the KLP
code.

The KLP code does have a few places where the state is changed
without the tasklist_lock held, but those should not cause
problems because klp_update_patch_state(current) cannot be
called while the current task is in the middle of fork,
klp_check_and_switch_task() which is called under the pi_lock,
which prevents rescheduling, and manipulation of the patch
state of idle tasks, which do not fork.

This should prevent this warning from triggering again in the
future, and close the race for both normal and reverse transitions.

  For people who don't know tracehook.h is a vestiage of an attempt to
  implement uprobes like functionality that was never fully merged, and
  was later superseeded by uprobes when uprobes was merged. For many

2957308343 livepatch: Don't block removal of patches that are safe to unload
module_put() is not called for a patch with "forced" flag. It should
block the removal of the livepatch module when the code might still
be in use after forced transition.

klp_force_transition() currently sets "forced" flag for all patches on
the list.

In fact, any patch can be safely unloaded when it passed through
the consistency model in KLP_UNPATCHED transition.

In other words, the "forced" flag must be set only for livepatches
that are being removed. In particular, set the "forced" flag:

  + only for klp_transition_patch when the transition to KLP_UNPATCHED
    state was forced.

  + all replaced patches when the transition to KLP_PATCHED state was
    forced and the patch was replacing the existing patches.

Fix it by using the right types instead of forcing 64 bits types.

5ef3dd2055 livepatch: Fix kobject refcount bug on klp_init_patch_early failure path
When enabling a klp patch with klp_enable_patch(), klp_init_patch_early()
is invoked to initialize the kobjects for the patch itself, as well as the
'struct klp_object' and 'struct klp_func' objects that comprise it.
However, there are some error paths in klp_enable_patch() where some
kobjects may have been initialized with kobject_init(), but an error code
is still returned due to e.g. a 'struct klp_object' having a NULL funcs
pointer.

In these paths, the initial reference of the kobject of the 'struct
klp_patch' may never be released, along with one or more of its objects and
their functions, as kobject_put() is not invoked on the cleanup path if
klp_init_patch_early() returns an error code.

For example, if an object entry such as the following were added to the
sample livepatch module's klp patch, it would cause the vmlinux klp_object,
and its klp_func which updates 'cmdline_proc_show', to never be released:

static struct klp_object objs[] = {
	{
		/* name being NULL means vmlinux */
		.funcs = funcs,
	},
	{
		/* NULL funcs -- would cause reference leak */
		.name = "kvm",
	}, { }
};

Without this change, if CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT is enabled, and the sample klp
patch is loaded, the kobjects (the patch, the vmlinux 'struct klp_object',
and its func) are observed as initialized, but never released, in the dmesg
log output.  With the change, these kobject references no longer fail to be
released as the error case is properly handled before they are initialized.
