selftests/livepatch: introduce tests

Browse Source 
Add a few livepatch modules and simple target modules that the included
regression suite can run tests against:

  - basic livepatching (multiple patches, atomic replace)
  - pre/post (un)patch callbacks
  - shadow variable API

Test cases
==========
Other Examples
==============
What follows is not an exhaustive test suite of every possible livepatch
pre/post-(un)patch combination, but a selection that demonstrates a few
important concepts. Each test case uses the kernel modules located in
the samples/livepatch/ and assumes that no livepatches are loaded at the
beginning of the test.
Test 1
------
Test a combination of loading a kernel module and a livepatch that
patches a function in the first module. (Un)load the target module
before the livepatch module:
- load target module
- load livepatch
- disable livepatch
- unload target module
- unload livepatch
First load a target module:
% insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-mod.ko
[ 34.475708] livepatch_callbacks_mod: livepatch_callbacks_mod_init
On livepatch enable, before the livepatch transition starts, pre-patch
callbacks are executed for vmlinux and livepatch_callbacks_mod (those
klp_objects currently loaded). After klp_objects are patched according
to the klp_patch, their post-patch callbacks run and the transition
completes:
% insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-demo.ko
[ 36.503719] livepatch: enabling patch 'livepatch_callbacks_demo'
[ 36.504213] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': initializing patching transition
[ 36.504238] livepatch_callbacks_demo: pre_patch_callback: vmlinux
[ 36.504721] livepatch_callbacks_demo: pre_patch_callback: livepatch_callbacks_mod -> [MODULE_STATE_LIVE] Normal state
[ 36.505849] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': starting patching transition
[ 37.727133] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': completing patching transition

[ 37.727860] livepatch_callbacks_demo: post_patch_callback: livepatch_callbacks_mod -> [MODULE_STATE_LIVE] Normal state
[ 37.728792] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': patching complete
Similarly, on livepatch disable, pre-patch callbacks run before the
unpatching transition starts. klp_objects are reverted, post-patch
callbacks execute and the transition completes:
% echo 0 > /sys/kernel/livepatch/livepatch_callbacks_demo/enabled
[ 38.510209] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': initializing unpatching transition
[ 38.510234] livepatch_callbacks_demo: pre_unpatch_callback: vmlinux

% rmmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-demo.ko
% rmmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-mod.ko
[ 42.534183] livepatch_callbacks_mod: livepatch_callbacks_mod_exit
Test 2
------
This test is similar to the previous test, but (un)load the livepatch
module before the target kernel module. This tests the livepatch core's
module_coming handler:
- load livepatch
- load target module
- disable livepatch
- unload livepatch
- unload target module
On livepatch enable, only pre/post-patch callbacks are executed for
currently loaded klp_objects, in this case, vmlinux:
% insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-demo.ko
[ 44.553328] livepatch: enabling patch 'livepatch_callbacks_demo'
[ 44.553997] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': initializing patching transition
[ 44.554049] livepatch_callbacks_demo: pre_patch_callback: vmlinux
[ 44.554845] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': starting patching transition
[ 45.727128] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': completing patching transition
[ 45.727212] livepatch_callbacks_demo: post_patch_callback: vmlinux
[ 45.727961] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': patching complete
When a targeted module is subsequently loaded, only its pre/post-patch
callbacks are executed:
% insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-mod.ko
[ 46.560845] livepatch: applying patch 'livepatch_callbacks_demo' to loading module 'livepatch_callbacks_mod'
[ 46.561988] livepatch_callbacks_demo: pre_patch_callback: livepatch_callbacks_mod -> [MODULE_STATE_COMING] Full formed, running module_init
[ 46.563452] livepatch_callbacks_demo: post_patch_callback: livepatch_callbacks_mod -> [MODULE_STATE_COMING] Full formed, running module_init
[ 46.565495] livepatch_callbacks_mod: livepatch_callbacks_mod_init
On livepatch disable, all currently loaded klp_objects' (vmlinux and
livepatch_callbacks_mod) pre/post-unpatch callbacks are executed:
% echo 0 > /sys/kernel/livepatch/livepatch_callbacks_demo/enabled
[ 48.568885] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': initializing unpatching transition
[ 48.568910] livepatch_callbacks_demo: pre_unpatch_callback: vmlinux

% rmmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-demo.ko
% rmmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-mod.ko
[ 52.592283] livepatch_callbacks_mod: livepatch_callbacks_mod_exit
Test 3
------
Test loading the livepatch after a targeted kernel module, then unload
the kernel module before disabling the livepatch. This tests the
livepatch core's module_going handler:
- load target module
- load livepatch
- unload target module
- disable livepatch
- unload livepatch
First load a target module, then the livepatch:
% insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-mod.ko
[ 54.607948] livepatch_callbacks_mod: livepatch_callbacks_mod_init
% insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-demo.ko
[ 56.613919] livepatch: enabling patch 'livepatch_callbacks_demo'
[ 56.614411] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': initializing patching transition
[ 56.614436] livepatch_callbacks_demo: pre_patch_callback: vmlinux
[ 56.614818] livepatch_callbacks_demo: pre_patch_callback: livepatch_callbacks_mod -> [MODULE_STATE_LIVE] Normal state
[ 56.615656] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': starting patching transition
[ 57.759070] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': completing patching transition
[ 57.759147] livepatch_callbacks_demo: post_patch_callback: vmlinux
[ 57.759621] livepatch_callbacks_demo: post_patch_callback: livepatch_callbacks_mod -> [MODULE_STATE_LIVE] Normal state
[ 57.760307] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': patching complete
When a target module is unloaded, the livepatch is only reverted from
that klp_object (livepatch_callbacks_mod). As such, only its pre and
post-unpatch callbacks are executed when this occurs:
% rmmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-mod.ko
[ 58.623409] livepatch_callbacks_mod: livepatch_callbacks_mod_exit
[ 58.623903] livepatch_callbacks_demo: pre_unpatch_callback: livepatch_callbacks_mod -> [MODULE_STATE_GOING] Going away
[ 58.624658] livepatch: reverting patch 'livepatch_callbacks_demo' on unloading module 'livepatch_callbacks_mod'
[ 58.625305] livepatch_callbacks_demo: post_unpatch_callback: livepatch_callbacks_mod -> [MODULE_STATE_GOING] Going away
When the livepatch is disabled, pre and post-unpatch callbacks are run
for the remaining klp_object, vmlinux:
% echo 0 > /sys/kernel/livepatch/livepatch_callbacks_demo/enabled
[ 60.638420] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': initializing unpatching transition
[ 60.638444] livepatch_callbacks_demo: pre_unpatch_callback: vmlinux
[ 60.638996] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': starting unpatching transition
[ 61.727088] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': completing unpatching transition
[ 61.727165] livepatch_callbacks_demo: post_unpatch_callback: vmlinux
[ 61.727985] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': unpatching complete
% rmmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-demo.ko
Test 4
------
This test is similar to the previous test, however the livepatch is
loaded first. This tests the livepatch core's module_coming and
module_going handlers:
- load livepatch
- load target module
- unload target module
- disable livepatch
- unload livepatch
First load the livepatch:
% insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-demo.ko
[ 64.661552] livepatch: enabling patch 'livepatch_callbacks_demo'
[ 64.662147] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': initializing patching transition
[ 64.662175] livepatch_callbacks_demo: pre_patch_callback: vmlinux
[ 64.662850] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': starting patching transition
[ 65.695056] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': completing patching transition
[ 65.695147] livepatch_callbacks_demo: post_patch_callback: vmlinux
[ 65.695561] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': patching complete
When a targeted kernel module is subsequently loaded, only its
pre/post-patch callbacks are executed:
% insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-mod.ko
[ 66.669196] livepatch: applying patch 'livepatch_callbacks_demo' to loading module 'livepatch_callbacks_mod'
[ 66.669882] livepatch_callbacks_demo: pre_patch_callback: livepatch_callbacks_mod -> [MODULE_STATE_COMING] Full formed, running module_init
[ 66.670744] livepatch_callbacks_demo: post_patch_callback: livepatch_callbacks_mod -> [MODULE_STATE_COMING] Full formed, running module_init
[ 66.672873] livepatch_callbacks_mod: livepatch_callbacks_mod_init
When the target module is unloaded, the livepatch is only reverted from
the livepatch_callbacks_mod klp_object. As such, only pre and
post-unpatch callbacks are executed when this occurs:
% rmmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-mod.ko
[ 68.680065] livepatch_callbacks_mod: livepatch_callbacks_mod_exit
[ 68.680688] livepatch_callbacks_demo: pre_unpatch_callback: livepatch_callbacks_mod -> [MODULE_STATE_GOING] Going away
[ 68.681452] livepatch: reverting patch 'livepatch_callbacks_demo' on unloading module 'livepatch_callbacks_mod'
[ 68.682094] livepatch_callbacks_demo: post_unpatch_callback: livepatch_callbacks_mod -> [MODULE_STATE_GOING] Going away
% echo 0 > /sys/kernel/livepatch/livepatch_callbacks_demo/enabled
[ 70.689225] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': initializing unpatching transition
[ 70.689256] livepatch_callbacks_demo: pre_unpatch_callback: vmlinux
[ 70.689882] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': starting unpatching transition
[ 71.711080] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': completing unpatching transition
[ 71.711481] livepatch_callbacks_demo: post_unpatch_callback: vmlinux
[ 71.711988] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': unpatching complete
% rmmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-demo.ko
Test 5
------
A simple test of loading a livepatch without one of its patch target
klp_objects ever loaded (livepatch_callbacks_mod):
- load livepatch
- disable livepatch
- unload livepatch
Load the livepatch:
% insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-demo.ko
[ 74.711081] livepatch: enabling patch 'livepatch_callbacks_demo'
[ 74.711595] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': initializing patching transition
[ 74.711639] livepatch_callbacks_demo: pre_patch_callback: vmlinux
[ 74.712272] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': starting patching transition
[ 75.743137] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': completing patching transition
[ 75.743219] livepatch_callbacks_demo: post_patch_callback: vmlinux
[ 75.743867] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': patching complete
As expected, only pre/post-(un)patch handlers are executed for vmlinux:
% echo 0 > /sys/kernel/livepatch/livepatch_callbacks_demo/enabled
[ 76.716254] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': initializing unpatching transition
[ 76.716278] livepatch_callbacks_demo: pre_unpatch_callback: vmlinux
[ 76.716666] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': starting unpatching transition
[ 77.727089] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': completing unpatching transition
[ 77.727194] livepatch_callbacks_demo: post_unpatch_callback: vmlinux
[ 77.727907] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': unpatching complete
% rmmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-demo.ko
Test 6
------
Test a scenario where a vmlinux pre-patch callback returns a non-zero
status (ie, failure):
- load target module
- load livepatch -ENODEV
- unload target module
First load a target module:
% insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-mod.ko
[ 80.740520] livepatch_callbacks_mod: livepatch_callbacks_mod_init
Load the livepatch module, setting its 'pre_patch_ret' value to -19
(-ENODEV). When its vmlinux pre-patch callback executed, this status
code will propagate back to the module-loading subsystem. The result is
that the insmod command refuses to load the livepatch module:
% insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-demo.ko pre_patch_ret=-19
[ 82.747326] livepatch: enabling patch 'livepatch_callbacks_demo'
[ 82.747743] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': initializing patching transition
[ 82.747767] livepatch_callbacks_demo: pre_patch_callback: vmlinux
[ 82.748237] livepatch: pre-patch callback failed for object 'vmlinux'

[ 82.749059] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': canceling transition, going to unpatch
[ 82.749060] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': completing unpatching transition
[ 82.749868] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': unpatching complete
[ 82.765809] insmod: ERROR: could not insert module samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-demo.ko: No such device
% rmmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-mod.ko
[ 84.774238] livepatch_callbacks_mod: livepatch_callbacks_mod_exit
Test 7
------
Similar to the previous test, setup a livepatch such that its vmlinux
pre-patch callback returns success. However, when a targeted kernel
module is later loaded, have the livepatch return a failing status code:
- load livepatch
- setup -ENODEV
- load target module
- disable livepatch
- unload livepatch
Load the livepatch, notice vmlinux pre-patch callback succeeds:
% insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-demo.ko
[ 86.787845] livepatch: enabling patch 'livepatch_callbacks_demo'
[ 86.788325] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': initializing patching transition
[ 86.788427] livepatch_callbacks_demo: pre_patch_callback: vmlinux
[ 86.788821] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': starting patching transition
[ 87.711069] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': completing patching transition
[ 87.711143] livepatch_callbacks_demo: post_patch_callback: vmlinux
[ 87.711886] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': patching complete
Set a trap so subsequent pre-patch callbacks to this livepatch will
return -ENODEV:
% echo -19 > /sys/module/livepatch_callbacks_demo/parameters/pre_patch_ret
The livepatch pre-patch callback for subsequently loaded target modules
will return failure, so the module loader refuses to load the kernel
module. Notice that no post-patch or pre/post-unpatch callbacks are
executed for this klp_object:
% insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-mod.ko

Test 8
------
Test loading multiple targeted kernel modules. This test-case is
mainly for comparing with the next test-case.
- load busy target module (0s sleep),
- load livepatch
- load target module
- unload target module
- disable livepatch
- unload livepatch
- unload busy target module
Load a target "busy" kernel module which kicks off a worker function
that immediately exits:
% insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-busymod.ko sleep_secs=0

[ 96.910600] livepatch_callbacks_busymod: busymod_work_func, sleeping 0 seconds ...
[ 96.913024] livepatch_callbacks_busymod: busymod_work_func exit
Proceed with loading the livepatch and another ordinary target module,
notice that the post-patch callbacks are executed and the transition
completes quickly:

Test 9
------
A similar test as the previous one, but force the "busy" kernel module
to do longer work.
The livepatching core will refuse to patch a task that is currently
executing a to-be-patched function -- the consistency model stalls the
current patch transition until this safety-check is met. Test a
scenario where one of a livepatch's target klp_objects sits on such a
function for a long time. Meanwhile, load and unload other target
kernel modules while the livepatch transition is in progress.
- load busy target module (30s sleep)
- load livepatch
- load target module
- unload target module
- disable livepatch
- unload livepatch
- unload busy target module
Load the "busy" kernel module, this time make it do 30 seconds worth of
work:
% insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-busymod.ko sleep_secs=30
[ 110.993362] livepatch_callbacks_busymod: livepatch_callbacks_mod_init
[ 110.994059] livepatch_callbacks_busymod: busymod_work_func, sleeping 30 seconds ...
Meanwhile, the livepatch is loaded. Notice that the patch transition
does not complete as the targeted "busy" module is sitting on a
to-be-patched function:

[ 113.005208] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': starting patching transition
Load a second target module (this one is an ordinary idle kernel
module). Note that *no* post-patch callbacks will be executed while the
livepatch is still in transition:

[ 115.015315] livepatch_callbacks_mod: livepatch_callbacks_mod_init
Request an unload of the simple kernel module. The patch is still
transitioning, so its pre-unpatch callbacks are skipped:
% rmmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-mod.ko
[ 117.022626] livepatch_callbacks_mod: livepatch_callbacks_mod_exit
[ 117.023376] livepatch: reverting patch 'livepatch_callbacks_demo' on unloading module 'livepatch_callbacks_mod'
[ 117.024533] livepatch_callbacks_demo: post_unpatch_callback: livepatch_callbacks_mod -> [MODULE_STATE_GOING] Going away
Finally the livepatch is disabled. Since none of the patch's
klp_object's post-patch callbacks executed, the remaining klp_object's
pre-unpatch callbacks are skipped:
