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).

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.

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.

After the previous patch, vmlinux-specific KLP relocations are now
applied early during KLP module load. This means that .klp.arch
sections are no longer needed for *vmlinux-specific* KLP relocations.
One might think they're still needed for *module-specific* KLP
relocations. If a to-be-patched module is loaded *after* its
corresponding KLP module is loaded, any corresponding KLP relocations
will be delayed until the to-be-patched module is loaded. If any
special sections (.parainstructions, for example) rely on those
relocations, their initializations (apply_paravirt) need to be done
afterwards. Thus the apparent need for arch_klp_init_object_loaded()
and its corresponding .klp.arch sections -- it allows some of the
special section initializations to be done at a later time.
But... if you look closer, that dependency between the special sections
and the module-specific KLP relocations doesn't actually exist in
reality. Looking at the contents of the .altinstructions and
.parainstructions sections, there's not a realistic scenario in which a
KLP module's .altinstructions or .parainstructions section needs to
access a symbol in a to-be-patched module. It might need to access a
local symbol or even a vmlinux symbol; but not another module's symbol.
When a special section needs to reference a local or vmlinux symbol, a
normal rela can be used instead of a KLP rela.
Since the special section initializations don't actually have any real
dependency on module-specific KLP relocations, .klp.arch and
arch_klp_init_object_loaded() no longer have a reason to exist. So
remove them.
As Peter said much more succinctly:
So the reason for .klp.arch was that .klp.rela.* stuff would overwrite
paravirt instructions. If that happens you're doing it wrong. Those
RELAs are core kernel, not module, and thus should've happened in
.rela.* sections at patch-module loading time.
Reverting this removes the two apply_{paravirt,alternatives}() calls
from the late patching path, and means we don't have to worry about
them when removing module_disable_ro().

KLP relocations are livepatch-specific relocations which are applied to
a KLP module's text or data. They exist for two reasons:
1) Unexported symbols: replacement functions often need to access
unexported symbols (e.g. static functions), which "normal"
relocations don't allow.
2) Late module patching: this is the ability for a KLP module to
bypass normal module dependencies, such that the KLP module can be
loaded *before* a to-be-patched module. This means that
relocations which need to access symbols in the to-be-patched
module might need to be applied to the KLP module well after it has
been loaded.
Non-late-patched KLP relocations are applied from the KLP module's init
function. That usually works fine, unless the patched code wants to use
alternatives, paravirt patching, jump tables, or some other special
section which needs relocations. Then we run into ordering issues and
crashes.
In order for those special sections to work properly, the KLP
relocations should be applied *before* the special section init code
runs, such as apply_paravirt(), apply_alternatives(), or
jump_label_apply_nops().
You might think the obvious solution would be to move the KLP relocation
initialization earlier, but it's not necessarily that simple. The
problem is the above-mentioned late module patching, for which KLP
relocations can get applied well after the KLP module is loaded.
To "fix" this issue in the past, we created .klp.arch sections:
.klp.arch.{module}..altinstructions
.klp.arch.{module}..parainstructions
Those sections allow KLP late module patching code to call
apply_paravirt() and apply_alternatives() after the module-specific KLP
relocations (.klp.rela.{module}.{section}) have been applied.
But that has a lot of drawbacks, including code complexity, the need for
arch-specific code, and the (per-arch) danger that we missed some
special section -- for example the __jump_table section which is used
for jump labels.
It turns out there's a simpler and more functional approach. There are
two kinds of KLP relocation sections:
1) vmlinux-specific KLP relocation sections
.klp.rela.vmlinux.{sec}
These are relocations (applied to the KLP module) which reference
unexported vmlinux symbols.
2) module-specific KLP relocation sections
.klp.rela.{module}.{sec}:
These are relocations (applied to the KLP module) which reference
unexported or exported module symbols.
Up until now, these have been treated the same. However, they're
inherently different.
Because of late module patching, module-specific KLP relocations can be
applied very late, thus they can create the ordering headaches described
above.
But vmlinux-specific KLP relocations don't have that problem. There's
nothing to prevent them from being applied earlier. So apply them at
the same time as normal relocations, when the KLP module is being
loaded.
This means that for vmlinux-specific KLP relocations, we no longer have
any ordering issues. vmlinux-referencing jump labels, alternatives, and
paravirt patching will work automatically, without the need for the
.klp.arch hacks.
All that said, for module-specific KLP relocations, the ordering
problems still exist and we *do* still need .klp.arch. Or do we? Stay
tuned.

The atomic replace runs pre/post (un)install callbacks only from the new
livepatch. There are several reasons for this:
+ Simplicity: clear ordering of operations, no interactions between
old and new callbacks.
+ Reliability: only new livepatch knows what changes can already be made
by older livepatches and how to take over the state.
+ Testing: the atomic replace can be properly tested only when a newer
livepatch is available. It might be too late to fix unwanted effect
of callbacks from older livepatches.
It might happen that an older change is not enough and the same system
state has to be modified another way. Different changes need to get
distinguished by a version number added to struct klp_state.
The version can also be used to prevent loading incompatible livepatches.
The check is done when the livepatch is enabled. The rules are:
+ Any completely new system state modification is allowed.
+ System state modifications with the same or higher version are allowed
for already modified system states.
+ Cumulative livepatches must handle all system state modifications from
already installed livepatches.
+ Non-cumulative livepatches are allowed to touch already modified
system states.

klp_module_coming() is called for every module appearing in the system.
It sets obj->mod to a patched module for klp_object obj. Unfortunately
it leaves it set even if an error happens later in the function and the
patched module is not allowed to be loaded.
klp_is_object_loaded() uses obj->mod variable and could currently give a
wrong return value. The bug is probably harmless as of now.
