be7de5f91f modules: Add kernel parameter to blacklist modules
Blacklisting a module in linux has long been a problem.  The current
procedure is to use rd.blacklist=module_name, however, that doesn't
cover the case after the initramfs and before a boot prompt (where one
is supposed to use /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf to blacklist
runtime loading). Using rd.shell to get an early prompt is hit-or-miss,
and doesn't cover all situations AFAICT.

This patch adds this functionality of permanently blacklisting a module
by its name via the kernel parameter module_blacklist=module_name.

[v2]: Rusty, use core_param() instead of __setup() which simplifies
things.

[v3]: Rusty, undo wreckage from strsep()

[v4]: Rusty, simpler version of blacklisted()

9502514f28 module: Do a WARN_ON_ONCE() for assert module mutex not held
When running with lockdep enabled, I triggered the WARN_ON() in the
module code that asserts when module_mutex or rcu_read_lock_sched are
not held. The issue I have is that this can also be called from the
dump_stack() code, causing us to enter an infinite loop...

bca014caaa module: Invalidate signatures on force-loaded modules
Signing a module should only make it trusted by the specific kernel it
was built for, not anything else.  Loading a signed module meant for a
kernel with a different ABI could have interesting effects.
Therefore, treat all signatures as invalid when a module is
force-loaded.

1ce15ef4f6 module: preserve Elf information for livepatch modules
For livepatch modules, copy Elf section, symbol, and string information
from the load_info struct in the module loader. Persist copies of the
original symbol table and string table.

Livepatch manages its own relocation sections in order to reuse module
loader code to write relocations. Livepatch modules must preserve Elf
information such as section indices in order to apply livepatch relocation
sections using the module loader's apply_relocate_add() function.

In order to apply livepatch relocation sections, livepatch modules must
keep a complete copy of their original symbol table in memory. Normally, a
stripped down copy of a module's symbol table (containing only "core"
symbols) is made available through module->core_symtab. But for livepatch
modules, the symbol table copied into memory on module load must be exactly
the same as the symbol table produced when the patch module was compiled.
This is because the relocations in each livepatch relocation section refer
to their respective symbols with their symbol indices, and the original
symbol indices (and thus the symtab ordering) must be preserved in order
for apply_relocate_add() to find the right symbol.

7e545d6eca livepatch/module: remove livepatch module notifier
Remove the livepatch module notifier in favor of directly enabling and
disabling patches to modules in the module loader. Hard-coding the
function calls ensures that ftrace_module_enable() is run before
klp_module_coming() during module load, and that klp_module_going() is
run before ftrace_release_mod() during module unload. This way, ftrace
and livepatch code is run in the correct order during the module
load/unload sequence without dependence on the module notifier call chain.

Put all actions in complete_formation() that are performed after
module->state is set to MODULE_STATE_COMING into a separate function
prepare_coming_module(). This split prepares for the removal of the
livepatch module notifiers in favor of hard-coding function calls to
klp_module_{coming,going} in the module loader.

The complete_formation -> prepare_coming_module split will also make error
handling easier since we can jump to the appropriate error label to do any
module GOING cleanup after all the COMING-actions have completed.

a1db742094 module: replace copy_module_from_fd with kernel version
Replace copy_module_from_fd() with kernel_read_file_from_fd().

Although none of the upstreamed LSMs define a kernel_module_from_file
hook, IMA is called, based on policy, to prevent unsigned kernel modules
from being loaded by the original kernel module syscall and to
measure/appraise signed kernel modules.

The security function security_kernel_module_from_file() was called prior
to reading a kernel module.  Preventing unsigned kernel modules from being
loaded by the original kernel module syscall remains on the pre-read
kernel_read_file() security hook.  Instead of reading the kernel module
twice, once for measuring/appraising and again for loading the kernel
module, the signature validation is moved to the kernel_post_read_file()
security hook.

This patch removes the security_kernel_module_from_file() hook and security
call.

7dcd182bec ftrace/module: remove ftrace module notifier
Remove the ftrace module notifier in favor of directly calling
ftrace_module_enable() and ftrace_release_mod() in the module loader.
Hard-coding the function calls directly in the module loader removes
dependence on the module notifier call chain and provides better
visibility and control over what gets called when, which is important
to kernel utilities such as livepatch.

This fixes a notifier ordering issue in which the ftrace module notifier
(and hence ftrace_module_enable()) for coming modules was being called
after klp_module_notify(), which caused livepatch modules to initialize
incorrectly. This patch removes dependence on the module notifier call
chain in favor of hard coding the corresponding function calls in the
module loader. This ensures that ftrace and livepatch code get called in
the correct order on patch module load and unload.

8244062ef1 modules: fix longstanding /proc/kallsyms vs module insertion race.
For CONFIG_KALLSYMS, we keep two symbol tables and two string tables.
There's one full copy, marked SHF_ALLOC and laid out at the end of the
module's init section.  There's also a cut-down version that only
contains core symbols and strings, and lives in the module's core
section.

After module init (and before we free the module memory), we switch
the mod->symtab, mod->num_symtab and mod->strtab to point to the core
versions.  We do this under the module_mutex.

However, kallsyms doesn't take the module_mutex: it uses
preempt_disable() and rcu tricks to walk through the modules, because
it's used in the oops path.  It's also used in /proc/kallsyms.
There's nothing atomic about the change of these variables, so we can
get the old (larger!) num_symtab and the new symtab pointer; in fact
this is what I saw when trying to reproduce.

By grouping these variables together, we can use a
carefully-dereferenced pointer to ensure we always get one or the
other (the free of the module init section is already done in an RCU
callback, so that's safe).  We allocate the init one at the end of the
module init section, and keep the core one inside the struct module
itself (it could also have been allocated at the end of the module
core, but that's probably overkill).

4355efbd80 modules: fix modparam async_probe request
Commit f2411da746 ("driver-core: add driver module

in two forms:

  * in-kernel driver specification annotation
  * generic async_probe module parameter (modprobe foo async_probe)

To support the generic kernel parameter parse_args() was
extended via commit ecc8617053 ("module: add extra
argument for parse_params() callback") however commit
failed to f2411da746 failed to add the required argument.

This causes a crash then whenever async_probe generic
module parameter is used. This was overlooked when the
form in which in-kernel async probe support was reworked
a bit... Fix this as originally intended.

049fb9bd41 ftrace/module: Call clean up function when module init fails early
If the module init code fails after calling ftrace_module_init() and before
calling do_init_module(), we can suffer from a memory leak. This is because
ftrace_module_init() allocates pages to store the locations that ftrace
hooks are placed in the module text. If do_init_module() fails, it still
calls the MODULE_GOING notifiers which will tell ftrace to do a clean up of
the pages it allocated for the module. But if load_module() fails before
then, the pages allocated by ftrace_module_init() will never be freed.

Call ftrace_release_mod() on the module if load_module() fails before
getting to do_init_module().

e022441851 module: keep percpu symbols in module's symtab
Currently, percpu symbols from .data..percpu ELF section of a module are
not copied over and stored in final symtab array of struct module.
Consequently such symbol cannot be returned via kallsyms API (for
example kallsyms_lookup_name). This can be especially confusing when the
percpu symbol is exported. Only its __ksymtab et al. are present in its
symtab.

The culprit is in layout_and_allocate() function where SHF_ALLOC flag is
dropped for .data..percpu section. There is in fact no need to copy the
section to final struct module, because kernel module loader allocates
extra percpu section by itself. Unfortunately only symbols from
SHF_ALLOC sections are copied due to a check in is_core_symbol().

The patch changes is_core_symbol() function to copy over also percpu
symbols (their st_shndx points to .data..percpu ELF section). We do it
only if CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL is set to be consistent with the rest of the
function (ELF section is SHF_ALLOC but !SHF_EXECINSTR). Finally
elf_type() returns type 'a' for a percpu symbol because its address is
absolute.

85c898db63 module: clean up RO/NX handling.
Modules have three sections: text, rodata and writable data.  The code
handled the case where these overlapped, however they never can:
debug_align() ensures they are always page-aligned.

This is why we got away with manually traversing the pages in
set_all_modules_text_rw() without rounding.

We create three helper functions: frob_text(), frob_rodata() and
frob_writable_data().  We then call these explicitly at every point,
so it's clear what we're doing.

We also expose module_enable_ro() and module_disable_ro() for
livepatch to use.

7523e4dc50 module: use a structure to encapsulate layout.
Makes it easier to handle init vs core cleanly, though the change is
fairly invasive across random architectures.

It simplifies the rbtree code immediately, however, while keeping the
core data together in the same cachline (now iff the rbtree code is
enabled).
