9294523e37 module: add printk formats to add module build ID to stacktraces
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.

055f23b74b module: check for exit sections in layout_sections() instead of module_init_section()
Previously, when CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=n, the module loader just does not
attempt to load exit sections since it never expects that any code in those
sections will ever execute. However, dynamic code patching (alternatives,
jump_label and static_call) can have sites in __exit code, even if __exit is
never executed. Therefore __exit must be present at runtime, at least for as
long as __init code is.

Commit 33121347fb ("module: treat exit sections the same as init
sections when !CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD") solves the requirements of
jump_labels and static_calls by putting the exit sections in the init
region of the module so that they are at least present at init, and
discarded afterwards. It does this by including a check for exit
sections in module_init_section(), so that it also returns true for exit
sections, and the module loader will automatically sort them in the init
region of the module.

However, the solution there was not completely arch-independent. ARM is
a special case where it supplies its own module_{init, exit}_section()
functions. Instead of pushing the exit section checks into
module_init_section(), just implement the exit section check in
layout_sections(), so that we don't have to touch arch-dependent code.

02b2fb455b kernel/module: Use BUG_ON instead of if condition followed by BUG
Fix the following coccinelle report:

kernel/module.c:1018:2-5:
WARNING: Use BUG_ON instead of if condition followed by BUG.

BUG_ON uses unlikely in if(). Through disassembly, we can see that
brk #0x800 is compiled to the end of the function.
As you can see below:
    ......
    ffffff8008660bec:   d65f03c0    ret
    ffffff8008660bf0:   d4210000    brk #0x800

Usually, the condition in if () is not satisfied. For the
multi-stage pipeline, we do not need to perform fetch decode
and excute operation on brk instruction.

In my opinion, this can improve the efficiency of the
multi-stage pipeline.

cf68fffb66 add support for Clang CFI
This change adds support for Clang’s forward-edge Control Flow
Integrity (CFI) checking. With CONFIG_CFI_CLANG, the compiler
injects a runtime check before each indirect function call to ensure
the target is a valid function with the correct static type. This
restricts possible call targets and makes it more difficult for
an attacker to exploit bugs that allow the modification of stored
function pointers. For more details, see:

  https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ControlFlowIntegrity.html

Clang requires CONFIG_LTO_CLANG to be enabled with CFI to gain
visibility to possible call targets. Kernel modules are supported
with Clang’s cross-DSO CFI mode, which allows checking between
independently compiled components.

With CFI enabled, the compiler injects a __cfi_check() function into
the kernel and each module for validating local call targets. For
cross-module calls that cannot be validated locally, the compiler
calls the global __cfi_slowpath_diag() function, which determines
the target module and calls the correct __cfi_check() function. This
patch includes a slowpath implementation that uses __module_address()
to resolve call targets, and with CONFIG_CFI_CLANG_SHADOW enabled, a
shadow map that speeds up module look-ups by ~3x.

Clang implements indirect call checking using jump tables and
offers two methods of generating them. With canonical jump tables,
the compiler renames each address-taken function to <function>.cfi
and points the original symbol to a jump table entry, which passes
__cfi_check() validation. This isn’t compatible with stand-alone
assembly code, which the compiler doesn’t instrument, and would
result in indirect calls to assembly code to fail. Therefore, we
default to using non-canonical jump tables instead, where the compiler
generates a local jump table entry <function>.cfi_jt for each
address-taken function, and replaces all references to the function
with the address of the jump table entry.

Note that because non-canonical jump table addresses are local
to each component, they break cross-module function address
equality. Specifically, the address of a global function will be
different in each module, as it's replaced with the address of a local
jump table entry. If this address is passed to a different module,
it won’t match the address of the same function taken there. This
may break code that relies on comparing addresses passed from other
components.

CFI checking can be disabled in a function with the __nocfi attribute.
Additionally, CFI can be disabled for an entire compilation unit by
filtering out CC_FLAGS_CFI.

By default, CFI failures result in a kernel panic to stop a potential
exploit. CONFIG_CFI_PERMISSIVE enables a permissive mode, where the
kernel prints out a rate-limited warning instead, and allows execution
to continue. This option is helpful for locating type mismatches, but
should only be enabled during development.

33121347fb module: treat exit sections the same as init sections when !CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD
Dynamic code patching (alternatives, jump_label and static_call) can
have sites in __exit code, even it __exit is never executed. Therefore
__exit must be present at runtime, at least for as long as __init code
is.

Additionally, for jump_label and static_call, the __exit sites must also
identify as within_module_init(), such that the infrastructure is aware
to never touch them after module init -- alternatives are only ran once
at init and hence don't have this particular constraint.

By making __exit identify as __init for MODULE_UNLOAD, the above is
satisfied.

So, when !CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD, the section ordering should look like the
following, with the .exit sections moved to the init region of the module.

Core section allocation order:
 	.text
 	.rodata
 	__ksymtab_gpl
 	__ksymtab_strings
 	.note.* sections
 	.bss
 	.data
 	.gnu.linkonce.this_module
 Init section allocation order:
 	.init.text
 	.exit.text
 	.symtab
 	.strtab

ec2a29593c module: harden ELF info handling
5fdc7db644 ("module: setup load info before module_sig_check()")
moved the ELF setup, so that it was done before the signature
check. This made the module name available to signature error
messages.

However, the checks for ELF correctness in setup_load_info
are not sufficient to prevent bad memory references due to
corrupted offset fields, indices, etc.

So, there's a regression in behavior here: a corrupt and unsigned
(or badly signed) module, which might previously have been rejected
immediately, can now cause an oops/crash.

Harden ELF handling for module loading by doing the following:

- Move the signature check back up so that it comes before ELF
  initialization. It's best to do the signature check to see
  if we can trust the module, before using the ELF structures
  inside it. This also makes checks against info->len
  more accurate again, as this field will be reduced by the
  length of the signature in mod_check_sig().

  The module name is now once again not available for error
  messages during the signature check, but that seems like
  a fair tradeoff.

- Check if sections have offset / size fields that at least don't
  exceed the length of the module.

- Check if sections have section name offsets that don't fall
  outside the section name table.

- Add a few other sanity checks against invalid section indices,
  etc.

This is not an exhaustive consistency check, but the idea is to
at least get through the signature and blacklist checks without
crashing because of corrupted ELF info, and to error out gracefully
for most issues that would have caused problems later on.

ebfac7b778 module: Ignore _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ when warning for undefined symbols
clang-12 -fno-pic (since
a084c0388e)
can emit `call __stack_chk_fail@PLT` instead of `call __stack_chk_fail`
on x86.  The two forms should have identical behaviors on x86-64 but the
former causes GNU as<2.37 to produce an unreferenced undefined symbol
_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_.

(On x86-32, there is an R_386_PC32 vs R_386_PLT32 difference but the
linker behavior is identical as far as Linux kernel is concerned.)

Simply ignore _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ for now, like what
scripts/mod/modpost.c:ignore_undef_symbol does. This also fixes the
problem for gcc/clang -fpie and -fpic, which may emit `call foo@PLT` for
external function calls on x86.

Note: ld -z defs and dynamic loaders do not error for unreferenced
undefined symbols so the module loader is reading too much.  If we ever
need to ignore more symbols, the code should be refactored to ignore
unreferenced symbols.

312dcaf967 Merge tag 'modules-for-v5.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeyu/linux
Pull modules updates from Jessica Yu:
 "Summary of modules changes for the 5.11 merge window:

   - Fix a race condition between systemd/udev and the module loader.

     The module loader was sending a uevent before the module was fully
     initialized (i.e., before its init function has been called). This
     means udev can start processing the module uevent before the module
     has finished initializing, and some udev rules expect that the
     module has initialized already upon receiving the uevent.

     This resulted in some systemd mount units failing if udev processes
     the event faster than the module can finish init. This is fixed by
     delaying the uevent until after the module has called its init
     routine.

   - Make the linker array sections for kernel params and module version
     attributes more robust by switching to use the alignment of the
     type in question.

     Namely, linker section arrays will be constructed using the
     alignment required by the struct (using __alignof__()) as opposed
     to a specific value such as sizeof(void *) or sizeof(long). This is
     less likely to cause breakages should the size of the type ever
     change (Johan Hovold)

38dc717e97 module: delay kobject uevent until after module init call
Apparently there has been a longstanding race between udev/systemd and
the module loader. Currently, the module loader sends a uevent right
after sysfs initialization, but before the module calls its init
function. However, some udev rules expect that the module has
initialized already upon receiving the uevent.

This race has been triggered recently (see link in references) in some
systemd mount unit files. For instance, the configfs module creates the
/sys/kernel/config mount point in its init function, however the module
loader issues the uevent before this happens. sys-kernel-config.mount
expects to be able to mount /sys/kernel/config upon receipt of the
module loading uevent, but if the configfs module has not called its
init function yet, then this directory will not exist and the mount unit
fails. A similar situation exists for sys-fs-fuse-connections.mount, as
the fuse sysfs mount point is created during the fuse module's init
function. If udev is faster than module initialization then the mount
unit would fail in a similar fashion.

To fix this race, delay the module KOBJ_ADD uevent until after the
module has finished calling its init routine.
