Add "stack_order" sysfs attribute which holds the order in which a live
patch module was loaded into the system. A user can then determine an
active live patched version of a function.
cat /sys/kernel/livepatch/livepatch_1/stack_order -> 1
means that livepatch_1 is the first live patch applied
cat /sys/kernel/livepatch/livepatch_module/stack_order -> N
means that livepatch_module is the Nth live patch applied

There are situations when it might make sense to combine livepatches
with and without the atomic replace on the same system. For example,
the livepatch without the atomic replace might provide a hotfix
or extra tuning.
Managing livepatches on such systems might be challenging. And the
information which of the installed livepatches do not use the atomic
replace would be useful.
Add new sysfs interface 'replace'. It works as follows:
$ cat /sys/kernel/livepatch/livepatch-non_replace/replace
0
$ cat /sys/kernel/livepatch/livepatch-replace/replace
1

Pull module updates from Luis Chamberlain:
"The summary of the changes for this pull requests is:
- Song Liu's new struct module_memory replacement
- Nick Alcock's MODULE_LICENSE() removal for non-modules
- My cleanups and enhancements to reduce the areas where we vmalloc
module memory for duplicates, and the respective debug code which
proves the remaining vmalloc pressure comes from userspace.
Most of the changes have been in linux-next for quite some time except
the minor fixes I made to check if a module was already loaded prior
to allocating the final module memory with vmalloc and the respective
debug code it introduces to help clarify the issue. Although the
functional change is small it is rather safe as it can only *help*
reduce vmalloc space for duplicates and is confirmed to fix a bootup
issue with over 400 CPUs with KASAN enabled. I don't expect stable
kernels to pick up that fix as the cleanups would have also had to
have been picked up. Folks on larger CPU systems with modules will
want to just upgrade if vmalloc space has been an issue on bootup.
Given the size of this request, here's some more elaborate details:
The functional change change in this pull request is the very first
patch from Song Liu which replaces the 'struct module_layout' with a
new 'struct module_memory'. The old data structure tried to put
together all types of supported module memory types in one data
structure, the new one abstracts the differences in memory types in a
module to allow each one to provide their own set of details. This
paves the way in the future so we can deal with them in a cleaner way.
If you look at changes they also provide a nice cleanup of how we
handle these different memory areas in a module. This change has been
in linux-next since before the merge window opened for v6.3 so to
provide more than a full kernel cycle of testing. It's a good thing as
quite a bit of fixes have been found for it.
Jason Baron then made dynamic debug a first class citizen module user
by using module notifier callbacks to allocate / remove module
specific dynamic debug information.
Nick Alcock has done quite a bit of work cross-tree to remove module
license tags from things which cannot possibly be module at my request
so to:
a) help him with his longer term tooling goals which require a
deterministic evaluation if a piece a symbol code could ever be
part of a module or not. But quite recently it is has been made
clear that tooling is not the only one that would benefit.
Disambiguating symbols also helps efforts such as live patching,
kprobes and BPF, but for other reasons and R&D on this area is
active with no clear solution in sight.
b) help us inch closer to the now generally accepted long term goal
of automating all the MODULE_LICENSE() tags from SPDX license tags
In so far as a) is concerned, although module license tags are a no-op
for non-modules, tools which would want create a mapping of possible
modules can only rely on the module license tag after the commit
8b41fc4454 ("kbuild: create modules.builtin without
Makefile.modbuiltin or tristate.conf").
Nick has been working on this *for years* and AFAICT I was the only
one to suggest two alternatives to this approach for tooling. The
complexity in one of my suggested approaches lies in that we'd need a
possible-obj-m and a could-be-module which would check if the object
being built is part of any kconfig build which could ever lead to it
being part of a module, and if so define a new define
-DPOSSIBLE_MODULE [0].
A more obvious yet theoretical approach I've suggested would be to
have a tristate in kconfig imply the same new -DPOSSIBLE_MODULE as
well but that means getting kconfig symbol names mapping to modules
always, and I don't think that's the case today. I am not aware of
Nick or anyone exploring either of these options. Quite recently Josh
Poimboeuf has pointed out that live patching, kprobes and BPF would
benefit from resolving some part of the disambiguation as well but for
other reasons. The function granularity KASLR (fgkaslr) patches were
mentioned but Joe Lawrence has clarified this effort has been dropped
with no clear solution in sight [1].
In the meantime removing module license tags from code which could
never be modules is welcomed for both objectives mentioned above. Some
developers have also welcomed these changes as it has helped clarify
when a module was never possible and they forgot to clean this up, and
so you'll see quite a bit of Nick's patches in other pull requests for
this merge window. I just picked up the stragglers after rc3. LWN has
good coverage on the motivation behind this work [2] and the typical
cross-tree issues he ran into along the way. The only concrete blocker
issue he ran into was that we should not remove the MODULE_LICENSE()
tags from files which have no SPDX tags yet, even if they can never be
modules. Nick ended up giving up on his efforts due to having to do
this vetting and backlash he ran into from folks who really did *not
understand* the core of the issue nor were providing any alternative /
guidance. I've gone through his changes and dropped the patches which
dropped the module license tags where an SPDX license tag was missing,
it only consisted of 11 drivers. To see if a pull request deals with a
file which lacks SPDX tags you can just use:
./scripts/spdxcheck.py -f \
$(git diff --name-only commid-id | xargs echo)
You'll see a core module file in this pull request for the above, but
that's not related to his changes. WE just need to add the SPDX
license tag for the kernel/module/kmod.c file in the future but it
demonstrates the effectiveness of the script.
Most of Nick's changes were spread out through different trees, and I
just picked up the slack after rc3 for the last kernel was out. Those
changes have been in linux-next for over two weeks.
The cleanups, debug code I added and final fix I added for modules
were motivated by David Hildenbrand's report of boot failing on a
systems with over 400 CPUs when KASAN was enabled due to running out
of virtual memory space. Although the functional change only consists
of 3 lines in the patch "module: avoid allocation if module is already
present and ready", proving that this was the best we can do on the
modules side took quite a bit of effort and new debug code.
The initial cleanups I did on the modules side of things has been in
linux-next since around rc3 of the last kernel, the actual final fix
for and debug code however have only been in linux-next for about a
week or so but I think it is worth getting that code in for this merge
window as it does help fix / prove / evaluate the issues reported with
larger number of CPUs. Userspace is not yet fixed as it is taking a
bit of time for folks to understand the crux of the issue and find a
proper resolution. Worst come to worst, I have a kludge-of-concept [3]
of how to make kernel_read*() calls for modules unique / converge
them, but I'm currently inclined to just see if userspace can fix this
instead"

Pull livepatching updates from Petr Mladek:
- Allow reloading a livepatched module by clearing livepatch-specific
relocations in the livepatch module.
Otherwise, the repeated load would fail on consistency checks.
* tag 'livepatching-for-6.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/livepatching/livepatching:
livepatch,x86: Clear relocation targets on a module removal
x86/module: remove unused code in __apply_relocate_add
Josh reported a bug:
When the object to be patched is a module, and that module is
rmmod'ed and reloaded, it fails to load with:
module: x86/modules: Skipping invalid relocation target, existing value is nonzero for type 2, loc 00000000ba0302e9, val ffffffffa03e293c
livepatch: failed to initialize patch 'livepatch_nfsd' for module 'nfsd' (-8)
livepatch: patch 'livepatch_nfsd' failed for module 'nfsd', refusing to load module 'nfsd'
The livepatch module has a relocation which references a symbol
in the _previous_ loading of nfsd. When apply_relocate_add()
tries to replace the old relocation with a new one, it sees that
the previous one is nonzero and it errors out.
He also proposed three different solutions. We could remove the error
check in apply_relocate_add() introduced by commit eda9cec4c9
("x86/module: Detect and skip invalid relocations"). However the check
is useful for detecting corrupted modules.
We could also deny the patched modules to be removed. If it proved to be
a major drawback for users, we could still implement a different
approach. The solution would also complicate the existing code a lot.
We thus decided to reverse the relocation patching (clear all relocation
targets on x86_64). The solution is not
universal and is too much arch-specific, but it may prove to be simpler
in the end.

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"

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
duplicated code.
