Pull modules updates from Luis Chamberlain:
- It was time to tidy up kernel/module.c and one way of starting with
that effort was to split it up into files. At my request Aaron Tomlin
spearheaded that effort with the goal to not introduce any functional
at all during that endeavour. The penalty for the split is +1322
bytes total, +112 bytes in data, +1210 bytes in text while bss is
unchanged. One of the benefits of this other than helping make the
code easier to read and review is summoning more help on review for
changes with livepatching so kernel/module/livepatch.c is now pegged
as maintained by the live patching folks.
The before and after with just the move on a defconfig on x86-64:

- Aaron added module unload taint tracking (MODULE_UNLOAD_TAINT_TRACKING),
to enable tracking unloaded modules which did taint the kernel.
- Christophe Leroy added CONFIG_ARCH_WANTS_MODULES_DATA_IN_VMALLOC
which lets architectures to request having modules data in vmalloc
area instead of module area. There are three reasons why an
architecture might want this:
a) On some architectures (like book3s/32) it is not possible to
protect against execution on a page basis. The exec stuff can be
mapped by different arch segment sizes (on book3s/32 that is 256M
segments). By default the module area is in an Exec segment while
vmalloc area is in a NoExec segment. Using vmalloc lets you muck
with module data as NoExec on those architectures whereas before
you could not.
b) By pushing more module data to vmalloc you also increase the
probability of module text to remain within a closer distance
from kernel core text and this reduces trampolines, this has been
reported on arm first and powerpc folks are following that lead.
c) Free'ing module_alloc() (Exec by default) area leaves this
exposed as Exec by default, some architectures have some security
enhancements to set this as NoExec on free, and splitting module
data with text let's future generic special allocators be added
to the kernel without having developers try to grok the tribal
knowledge per arch. Work like Rick Edgecombe's permission vmalloc
interface [0] becomes easier to address over time.

KGDB and KDB allow read and write access to kernel memory, and thus
should be restricted during lockdown. An attacker with access to a
serial port (for example, via a hypervisor console, which some cloud
vendors provide over the network) could trigger the debugger so it is
important that the debugger respect the lockdown mode when/if it is
triggered.
Fix this by integrating lockdown into kdb's existing permissions
mechanism. Unfortunately kgdb does not have any permissions mechanism
(although it certainly could be added later) so, for now, kgdb is simply
and brutally disabled by immediately exiting the gdb stub without taking
any action.
For lockdowns established early in the boot (e.g. the normal case) then
this should be fine but on systems where kgdb has set breakpoints before
the lockdown is enacted than "bad things" will happen.

No functional change.
This patch migrates the kdb 'lsmod' command support out of main
kdb code into its own file under kernel/module. In addition to
the above, a minor style warning i.e. missing a blank line after
declarations, was resolved too. The new file was added to
MAINTAINERS. Finally we remove linux/module.h as it is entirely
redundant.

Currently kdb contains some open-coded routines to generate a summary
character for each task. This code currently issues warnings, is
almost certainly broken and won't make sense to any kernel dev who
has ever used /proc to examine task states.
Fix both the warning and the potential for confusion by adopting the
scheduler's task classification. Whilst doing this we also simplify the
filtering by using mask strings directly (which means we don't have to
guess all the characters the scheduler might give us).
Unfortunately we can't quite match the scheduler classification completely.
We add four extra states: - for idle loops and i, m and s for sleeping
system daemons (which means kthreads in one of the I, M and S states).
These extra states are used to manage the filters for tools to make the
output of ps and bta less noisy.
Note: The Fixes below is the last point the original dubious code was
moved; it was not introduced by that patch. However it gives us
the last point to which this patch can be easily backported.
Happily that should be enough to cover the introduction of
CONFIG_WERROR!

Commit e4f291b3f7 ("kdb: Simplify kdb commands registration")
allowed registration of pre-allocated kdb commands with pointer to
struct kdbtab_t. Lets switch other users as well to register pre-
allocated kdb commands via:
- Changing prototype for kdb_register() to pass a pointer to struct
kdbtab_t instead.
- Embed kdbtab_t structure in kdb_macro_t rather than individual params.
With these changes kdb_register_flags() becomes redundant and hence
removed. Also, since we have switched all users to register
pre-allocated commands, "is_dynamic" flag in struct kdbtab_t becomes
redundant and hence removed as well.

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
- Stop synchronizing kernel log buffer readers by logbuf_lock. As a
result, the access to the buffer is fully lockless now.
Note that printk() itself still uses locks because it tries to flush
the messages to the console immediately. Also the per-CPU temporary
buffers are still there because they prevent infinite recursion and
serialize backtraces from NMI. All this is going to change in the
future.
- kmsg_dump API rework and cleanup as a side effect of the logbuf_lock
removal.
- Make bstr_printf() aware that %pf and %pF formats could deference the
given pointer.
- Show also page flags by %pGp format.

Rather than storing the iterator information in the registered
kmsg_dumper structure, create a separate iterator structure. The
kmsg_dump_iter structure can reside on the stack of the caller, thus
allowing lockless use of the kmsg_dump functions.
Update code that accesses the kernel logs using the kmsg_dumper
structure to use the new kmsg_dump_iter structure. For kmsg_dumpers,
this also means adding a call to kmsg_dump_rewind() to initialize
the iterator.
All this is in preparation for removal of @logbuf_lock.

This kills using the do_each_thread/while_each_thread combo to
iterate all threads and uses for_each_process_thread() instead,
maintaining semantics. while_each_thread() is ultimately racy
and deprecated; although in this particular case there is no
concurrency so it doesn't matter. Still lets trivially get rid
of two more users.

Currently, 'KDBFLAGS' is an internal variable of kdb, it is combined
by 'KDBDEBUG' and state flags. It will be shown only when 'KDBDEBUG'
is set, and the user can define an environment variable named 'KDBFLAGS'
too. These are puzzling indeed.
After communication with Daniel, it seems that 'KDBFLAGS' is a misfeature.
So let's replace 'KDBFLAGS' with 'KDBDEBUG' to just show the value we
wrote into. After this modification, we can use `md4c1 kdb_flags` instead,
to observe the state flags.

Currently the PROMPT variable could be abused to provoke the printf()
machinery to read outside the current stack frame. Normally this
doesn't matter becaues md is already a much better tool for reading
from memory.
However the md command can be disabled by not setting KDB_ENABLE_MEM_READ.
Let's also prevent PROMPT from being modified in these circumstances.
Whilst adding a comment to help future code reviewers we also remove
the #ifdef where PROMPT in consumed. There is no problem passing an
unused (0) to snprintf when !CONFIG_SMP.

Currently the code to manage the kdb history buffer uses strncpy() to
copy strings to/and from the history and exhibits the classic "but
nobody ever told me that strncpy() doesn't always terminate strings"
bug. Modern gcc compilers recognise this bug and issue a warning.
In reality these calls will only abridge the copied string if kdb_read()
has *already* overflowed the command buffer. Thus the use of counted
copies here is only used to reduce the secondary effects of a bug
elsewhere in the code.
Therefore transitioning these calls into strscpy() (without checking
the return code) is appropriate.

If you switch to a sleeping task with the "pid" command and then type
"rd", kdb tells you this:
No current kdb registers. You may need to select another task
diag: -17: Invalid register name
The first message makes sense, but not the second. Fix it by just
returning 0 after commands accessing the current registers finish if
we've already printed the "No current kdb registers" error.
While fixing kdb_rd(), change the function to use "if" rather than
"ifdef". It cleans the function up a bit and any modern compiler will
have no trouble handling still producing good code.
