Petr Mladek acfdbb4ab2 module: add helper function for reading module_buildid()
Add a helper function for reading the optional "build_id" member of struct
module.  It is going to be used also in ftrace_mod_address_lookup().

Use "#ifdef" instead of "#if IS_ENABLED()" to match the declaration of the
optional field in struct module.

Coiby Xu 1ae719a43b module: Only declare set_module_sig_enforced when CONFIG_MODULE_SIG=y
Currently if set_module_sig_enforced is called with CONFIG_MODULE_SIG=n
e.g. [1], it can lead to a linking error,

    ld: security/integrity/ima/ima_appraise.o: in function `ima_appraise_measurement':
    security/integrity/ima/ima_appraise.c:587:(.text+0xbbb): undefined reference to `set_module_sig_enforced'

This happens because the actual implementation of
set_module_sig_enforced comes from CONFIG_MODULE_SIG but both the
function declaration and the empty stub definition are tied to
CONFIG_MODULES.

So bind set_module_sig_enforced to CONFIG_MODULE_SIG instead. This
allows (future) users to call set_module_sig_enforced directly without
the "if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_MODULE_SIG)" safeguard.

Note this issue hasn't caused a real problem because all current callers
of set_module_sig_enforced e.g. security/integrity/ima/ima_efi.c
use "if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_MODULE_SIG)" safeguard.

Josh Poimboeuf 9025688bf6 module: Fix device table module aliases
Commit 6717e8f91d ("kbuild: Remove 'kmod_' prefix from
__KBUILD_MODNAME") inadvertently broke module alias generation for
modules which rely on MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE().

It removed the "kmod_" prefix from __KBUILD_MODNAME, which caused
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() to generate a symbol name which no longer matched
the format expected by handle_moddevtable() in scripts/mod/file2alias.c.

As a result, modpost failed to find the device tables, leading to
missing module aliases.

Fix this by explicitly adding the "kmod_" string within the
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() macro itself, restoring the symbol name to the
format expected by file2alias.c.

Fixes: 6717e8f91d ("kbuild: Remove 'kmod_' prefix from __KBUILD_MODNAME")

Alexey Gladkov 5ab23c7923 modpost: Create modalias for builtin modules
For some modules, modalias is generated using the modpost utility and
the section is added to the module file.

When a module is added inside vmlinux, modpost does not generate
modalias for such modules and the information is lost.

As a result kmod (which uses modules.builtin.modinfo in userspace)
cannot determine that modalias is handled by a builtin kernel module.

$ cat /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/modalias
pci:v00008086d0000A36Dsv00001043sd00008694bc0Csc03i30

$ modinfo xhci_pci
name:           xhci_pci
filename:       (builtin)
license:        GPL
file:           drivers/usb/host/xhci-pci
description:    xHCI PCI Host Controller Driver

Missing modalias "pci:v*d*sv*sd*bc0Csc03i30*" which will be generated by
modpost if the module is built separately.

To fix this it is necessary to generate the same modalias for vmlinux as
for the individual modules. Fortunately '.vmlinux.export.o' is already
generated from which '.modinfo' can be extracted in the same way as for
vmlinux.o.

At this point, if a symbol is compiled as part of the kernel,
information about which module the symbol belongs to is lost.

To save this it is possible to add the module name to the alias name.
It's not very pretty, but it's possible for now.

Petr Pavlu 40a826bd6c module: Rename MAX_PARAM_PREFIX_LEN to __MODULE_NAME_LEN
The maximum module name length (MODULE_NAME_LEN) is somewhat confusingly
defined in terms of the maximum parameter prefix length
(MAX_PARAM_PREFIX_LEN), when in fact the dependency is in the opposite
direction.

This split originates from commit 730b69d225 ("module: check kernel param
length at compile time, not runtime"). The code needed to use
MODULE_NAME_LEN in moduleparam.h, but because module.h requires
moduleparam.h, this created a circular dependency. It was resolved by
introducing MAX_PARAM_PREFIX_LEN in moduleparam.h and defining
MODULE_NAME_LEN in module.h in terms of MAX_PARAM_PREFIX_LEN.

Rename MAX_PARAM_PREFIX_LEN to __MODULE_NAME_LEN for clarity. This matches
the similar approach of defining MODULE_INFO in module.h and __MODULE_INFO
in moduleparam.h.

Thomas Weißschuh 818783c804 module: make structure definitions always visible
To write code that works with both CONFIG_MODULES=y and CONFIG_MODULES=n
it is convenient to use "if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_MODULES))" over raw #ifdef.
The code will still fully typechecked but the unreachable parts are
discarded by the compiler. This prevents accidental breakage when a certain
kconfig combination was not specifically tested by the developer.
This pattern is already supported to some extend by module.h defining
empty stub functions if CONFIG_MODULES=n.
However some users of module.h work on the structured defined by module.h.

Therefore these structure definitions need to be visible, too.

Many structure members are still gated by specific configuration settings.
The assumption for those is that the code using them will be gated behind
the same configuration setting anyways.

("module: fix kdb's illicit use of struct module_use.").
Back then the structure was used outside of the module core.
Nowadays this is not true anymore, so the structure can be made internal.

Linus Torvalds 90a871f74b Merge tag 'ftrace-v6.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace
Pull ftrace updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Keep track of when fgraph_ops are registered or not

   Keep accounting of when fgraph_ops are registered as if a fgraph_ops
   is registered twice it can mess up the accounting and it will not
   work as expected later. Trigger a warning if something registers it
   twice as to catch bugs before they are found by things just not
   working as expected.

 - Make DYNAMIC_FTRACE always enabled for architectures that support it

   As static ftrace (where all functions are always traced) is very
   expensive and only exists to help architectures support ftrace, do
   not make it an option. As soon as an architecture supports
   DYNAMIC_FTRACE make it use it. This simplifies the code.

 - Remove redundant config HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD

   The CONFIG_HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT was added to help simplify the
   DYNAMIC_FTRACE work, but now every architecture that implements
   DYNAMIC_FTRACE also has HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT set too, making it
   redundant with the HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE.

 - Make pid_ptr string size match the comment

   In print_graph_proc() the pid_ptr string is of size 11, but the
   comment says /* sign + log10(MAX_INT) + '\0' */ which is actually 12.

Steven Rostedt 4d6d0a6263 tracing: Remove redundant config HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD
Ftrace is tightly coupled with architecture specific code because it
requires the use of trampolines written in assembly. This means that when
a new feature or optimization is made, it must be done for all
architectures. To simplify the approach, CONFIG_HAVE_FTRACE_* configs are
added to denote which architecture has the new enhancement so that other
architectures can still function until they too have been updated.

The CONFIG_HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT was added to help simplify the
DYNAMIC_FTRACE work, but now every architecture that implements
DYNAMIC_FTRACE also has HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT set too, making it redundant
with the HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE.

Remove the HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT config and use DYNAMIC_FTRACE directly where
applicable.

Masahiro Yamada 7934a8dd86 module: remove meaningless 'name' parameter from __MODULE_INFO()
The symbol names in the .modinfo section are never used and already
randomized by the __UNIQUE_ID() macro.

Therefore, the second parameter of  __MODULE_INFO() is meaningless
and can be removed to simplify the code.

Mike Rapoport (Microsoft) 0b0cae7119 x86/its: move its_pages array to struct mod_arch_specific
The of pages with ITS thunks allocated for modules are tracked by an
array in 'struct module'.

Since this is very architecture specific data structure, move it to
'struct mod_arch_specific'.

No functional changes.

Masahiro Yamada 8c21c41111 module: make __mod_device_table__* symbols static
The __mod_device_table__* symbols are only parsed by modpost to generate
MODULE_ALIAS() entries from MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE().

Therefore, these symbols do not need to be globally visible, or globally
unique.

If they are in the global scope, we would worry about the symbol
uniqueness, but modpost is fine with parsing multiple symbols with the
same name.

Peter Zijlstra 872df34d7c x86/its: Use dynamic thunks for indirect branches
ITS mitigation moves the unsafe indirect branches to a safe thunk. This
could degrade the prediction accuracy as the source address of indirect
branches becomes same for different execution paths.

To improve the predictions, and hence the performance, assign a separate
thunk for each indirect callsite. This is also a defense-in-depth measure
to avoid indirect branches aliasing with each other.

As an example, 5000 dynamic thunks would utilize around 16 bits of the
address space, thereby gaining entropy. For a BTB that uses
32 bits for indexing, dynamic thunks could provide better prediction
accuracy over fixed thunks.

Have ITS thunks be variable sized and use EXECMEM_MODULE_TEXT such that
they are both more flexible (got to extend them later) and live in 2M TLBs,
just like kernel code, avoiding undue TLB pressure.

lookup_or_create_module_kobject() is marked as static and __init,

Since this function can be called from non-init code, use __modinit

Linus Torvalds 46d29f23a7 Merge tag 'trace-ringbuffer-v6.15-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace
Pull ring-buffer updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Restructure the persistent memory to have a "scratch" area

   Instead of hard coding the KASLR offset in the persistent memory by
   the ring buffer, push that work up to the callers of the persistent
   memory as they are the ones that need this information. The offsets
   and such is not important to the ring buffer logic and it should not
   be part of that.

   A scratch pad is now created when the caller allocates a ring buffer
   from persistent memory by stating how much memory it needs to save.

 - Allow where modules are loaded to be saved in the new scratch pad

   Save the addresses of modules when they are loaded into the
   persistent memory scratch pad.

 - A new module_for_each_mod() helper function was created

   With the acknowledgement of the module maintainers a new module
   helper function was created to iterate over all the currently loaded
   modules. This has a callback to be called for each module. This is
   needed for when tracing is started in the persistent buffer and the
   currently loaded modules need to be saved in the scratch area.

 - Expose the last boot information where the kernel and modules were
   loaded

   The last_boot_info file is updated to print out the addresses of
   where the kernel "_text" location was loaded from a previous boot, as
   well as where the modules are loaded. If the buffer is recording the
   current boot, it only prints "# Current" so that it does not expose
   the KASLR offset of the currently running kernel.

 - Allow the persistent ring buffer to be released (freed)

   To have this in production environments, where the kernel command
   line can not be changed easily, the ring buffer needs to be freed
   when it is not going to be used. The memory for the buffer will
   always be allocated at boot up, but if the system isn't going to
   enable tracing, the memory needs to be freed. Allow it to be freed
   and added back to the kernel memory pool.

 - Allow stack traces to print the function names in the persistent
   buffer

   Now that the modules are saved in the persistent ring buffer, if the
   same modules are loaded, the printing of the function names will
   examine the saved modules. If the module is found in the scratch area
   and is also loaded, then it will do the offset shift and use kallsyms
   to display the function name. If the address is not found, it simply
   displays the address from the previous boot in hex.

Steven Rostedt 966b7d0e52 module: Add module_for_each_mod() function
The tracing system needs a way to save all the currently loaded modules
and their addresses into persistent memory so that it can evaluate the
addresses on a reboot from a crash. When the persistent memory trace
starts, it will load the module addresses and names into the persistent
memory. To do so, it will call the module_for_each_mod() function and pass
it a function and data structure to get called on each loaded module. Then
it can record the memory.

This only implements that function.
