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
8b41fc4454e ("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"

The finit_module() system call can in the worst case use up to more than
twice of a module's size in virtual memory. Duplicate finit_module()
system calls are non fatal, however they unnecessarily strain virtual
memory during bootup and in the worst case can cause a system to fail
to boot. This is only known to currently be an issue on systems with
larger number of CPUs.
To help debug this situation we need to consider the different sources for
finit_module(). Requests from the kernel that rely on module auto-loading,
ie, the kernel's *request_module() API, are one source of calls. Although
modprobe checks to see if a module is already loaded prior to calling
finit_module() there is a small race possible allowing userspace to
trigger multiple modprobe calls racing against modprobe and this not
seeing the module yet loaded.
This adds debugging support to the kernel module auto-loader (*request_module()
calls) to easily detect duplicate module requests. To aid with possible bootup
failure issues incurred by this, it will converge duplicates requests to a
single request. This avoids any possible strain on virtual memory during
bootup which could be incurred by duplicate module autoloading requests.
Folks debugging virtual memory abuse on bootup can and should enable
this to see what pr_warn()s come on, to see if module auto-loading is to
blame for their wores. If they see duplicates they can further debug this
by enabling the module.enable_dups_trace kernel parameter or by enabling
CONFIG_MODULE_DEBUG_AUTOLOAD_DUPS_TRACE.
Current evidence seems to point to only a few duplicates for module
auto-loading. And so the source for other duplicates creating heavy
virtual memory pressure due to larger number of CPUs should becoming
from another place (likely udev).

Loading modules with finit_module() can end up using vmalloc(), vmap()
and vmalloc() again, for a total of up to 3 separate allocations in the
worst case for a single module. We always kernel_read*() the module,
that's a vmalloc(). Then vmap() is used for the module decompression,
and if so the last read buffer is freed as we use the now decompressed
module buffer to stuff data into our copy module. The last allocation is
specific to each architectures but pretty much that's generally a series
of vmalloc() calls or a variation of vmalloc to handle ELF sections with
special permissions.
Evaluation with new stress-ng module support [1] with just 100 ops
is proving that you can end up using GiBs of data easily even with all
care we have in the kernel and userspace today in trying to not load modules
which are already loaded. 100 ops seems to resemble the sort of pressure a
system with about 400 CPUs can create on module loading. Although issues
relating to duplicate module requests due to each CPU inucurring a new
module reuest is silly and some of these are being fixed, we currently lack
proper tooling to help diagnose easily what happened, when it happened
and who likely is to blame -- userspace or kernel module autoloading.
Provide an initial set of stats which use debugfs to let us easily scrape
post-boot information about failed loads. This sort of information can
be used on production worklaods to try to optimize *avoiding* redundant
memory pressure using finit_module().
There's a few examples that can be provided:
A 255 vCPU system without the next patch in this series applied:
Startup finished in 19.143s (kernel) + 7.078s (userspace) = 26.221s
graphical.target reached after 6.988s in userspace
And 13.58 GiB of virtual memory space lost due to failed module loading:

The following screen shot, of a simple 8vcpu 8 GiB KVM guest with the
next patch in this series applied, shows 226.53 MiB are wasted in virtual
memory allocations which due to duplicate module requests during boot.
It also shows an average module memory size of 167.10 KiB and an an
average module .text + .init.text size of 61.13 KiB. The end shows all
modules which were detected as duplicate requests and whether or not
they failed early after just the first kernel_read*() call or late after
we've already allocated the private space for the module in
layout_and_allocate(). A system with module decompression would reveal
more wasted virtual memory space.
We should put effort now into identifying the source of these duplicate
module requests and trimming these down as much possible. Larger systems
will obviously show much more wasted virtual memory allocations.

Add a for_each_modinfo_entry() to make it easier to read and use.
This produces no functional changes but makes this code easiert
to read as we are used to with loops in the kernel and trims more

This makes it clearer what it is doing. While at it,
make it available to other code other than main.c.
This will be used in the subsequent patch and make
the changes easier to read.

Bring dynamic debug in line with other subsystems by using the module
notifier callbacks. This results in a net decrease in core module
code.
Additionally, Jim Cromie has a new dynamic debug classmap feature,
which requires that jump labels be initialized prior to dynamic debug.
Specifically, the new feature toggles a jump label from the existing
dynamic_debug_setup() function. However, this does not currently work
properly, because jump labels are initialized via the
'module_notify_list' notifier chain, which is invoked after the
current call to dynamic_debug_setup(). Thus, this patch ensures that
jump labels are initialized prior to dynamic debug by setting the
dynamic debug notifier priority to 0, while jump labels have the
higher priority of 1.
Tested by Jim using his new test case, and I've verfied the correct
printing via: # modprobe test_dynamic_debug dyndbg.

module_layout manages different types of memory (text, data, rodata, etc.)
in one allocation, which is problematic for some reasons:
1. It is hard to enable CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX.
2. It is hard to use huge pages in modules (and not break strict rwx).
3. Many archs uses module_layout for arch-specific data, but it is not
obvious how these data are used (are they RO, RX, or RW?)
Improve the scenario by replacing 2 (or 3) module_layout per module with
up to 7 module_memory per module:
MOD_TEXT,
MOD_DATA,
MOD_RODATA,
MOD_RO_AFTER_INIT,
MOD_INIT_TEXT,
MOD_INIT_DATA,
MOD_INIT_RODATA,
and allocating them separately. This adds slightly more entries to
mod_tree (from up to 3 entries per module, to up to 7 entries per
module). However, this at most adds a small constant overhead to
__module_address(), which is expected to be fast.
Various archs use module_layout for different data. These data are put
into different module_memory based on their location in module_layout.
IOW, data that used to go with text is allocated with MOD_MEM_TYPE_TEXT;
data that used to go with data is allocated with MOD_MEM_TYPE_DATA, etc.
module_memory simplifies quite some of the module code. For example,
ARCH_WANTS_MODULES_DATA_IN_VMALLOC is a lot cleaner, as it just uses a
different allocator for the data. kernel/module/strict_rwx.c is also
much cleaner with module_memory.

Moving find_kallsyms_symbol_value from kernel/module/internal.h to
include/linux/module.h. The reason is that internal.h is not prepared to
be included when CONFIG_MODULES=n. find_kallsyms_symbol_value is used by
kernel/bpf/verifier.c and including internal.h from it (without modules)
leads into a compilation error:

This resolves two problems with attachment of fentry/fexit/fmod_ret/lsm
to functions located in modules:
1. The verifier tries to find the address to attach to in kallsyms. This
is always done by searching the entire kallsyms, not respecting the
module in which the function is located. Such approach causes an
incorrect attachment address to be computed if the function to attach
to is shadowed by a function of the same name located earlier in
kallsyms.
2. If the address to attach to is located in a module, the module
reference is only acquired in register_fentry. If the module is
unloaded between the place where the address is found
(bpf_check_attach_target in the verifier) and register_fentry, it is
possible that another module is loaded to the same address which may
lead to potential errors.
Since the attachment must contain the BTF of the program to attach to,
we extract the module from it and search for the function address in the
correct module (resolving problem no. 1). Then, the module reference is
taken directly in bpf_check_attach_target and stored in the bpf program
(in bpf_prog_aux). The reference is only released when the program is
unloaded (resolving problem no. 2).

This new struct composes the linker provided (vector,len) section,
and provides a place to add other __dyndbg[] state-data later:
descs - the vector of descriptors in __dyndbg section.
num_descs - length of the data/section.
Use it, in several different ways, as follows:
In lib/dynamic_debug.c:
ddebug_add_module(): Alter params-list, replacing 2 args (array,index)
with a struct _ddebug_info * containing them both, with room for
expansion. This helps future-proof the function prototype against the
looming addition of class-map info into the dyndbg-state, by providing
a place to add more member fields later.
NB: later add static struct _ddebug_info builtins_state declaration,
not needed yet.
ddebug_add_module() is called in 2 contexts:
In dynamic_debug_init(), declare, init a struct _ddebug_info di
auto-var to use as a cursor. Then iterate over the prdbg blocks of
the builtin modules, and update the di cursor before calling
_add_module for each.
Its called from kernel/module/main.c:load_info() for each loaded
module:
In internal.h, alter struct load_info, replacing the dyndbg array,len
fields with an embedded _ddebug_info containing them both; and
populate its members in find_module_sections().
The 2 calling contexts differ in that _init deals with contiguous
subranges of __dyndbgs[] section, packed together, while loadable
modules are added one at a time.
So rename ddebug_add_module() into outer/__inner fns, call __inner
from _init, and provide the offset into the builtin __dyndbgs[] where
the module's prdbgs reside. The cursor provides start, len of the
subrange for each. The offset will be used later to pack the results
of builtin __dyndbg_sites[] de-duplication, and is 0 and unneeded for
loadable modules,
Note:
kernel/module/main.c includes <dynamic_debug.h> for struct
_ddeubg_info. This might be prone to include loops, since its also
included by printk.h. Nothing has broken in robot-land on this.

This is due to strict_align() being a no-op when
CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX is not selected.
Transform strict_align() macro into an inline function. It will
allow type checking and avoid the selfAssignment warning.

Currently, only the initial module that tainted the kernel is
recorded e.g. when an out-of-tree module is loaded.
The purpose of this patch is to allow the kernel to maintain a record of
each unloaded module that taints the kernel. So, in addition to
displaying a list of linked modules (see print_modules()) e.g. in the
event of a detected bad page, unloaded modules that carried a taint/or
taints are displayed too. A tainted module unload count is maintained.
The number of tracked modules is not fixed. This feature is disabled by
default.

The purpose of this patch is to modify module_flags_taint() to accept
a module's taints bitmap as a parameter and modifies all users
accordingly. Furthermore, it is now possible to access a given
module's taint flags data outside of non-essential code yet does
remain for internal use only.
This is in preparation for module unload taint tracking support.

Add CONFIG_ARCH_WANTS_MODULES_DATA_IN_VMALLOC to allow architectures
to request having modules data in vmalloc area instead of module area.
This is required on powerpc book3s/32 in order to set data non
executable, because it is not possible to set executability on page
basis, this is done per 256 Mbytes segments. The module area has exec
right, vmalloc area has noexec.
This can also be useful on other powerpc/32 in order to maximize the
chance of code being close enough to kernel core to avoid branch
trampolines.

In order to allow separation of data from text, add another layout,
called data_layout. For architectures requesting separation of text
and data, only text will go in core_layout and data will go in
data_layout.
For architectures which keep text and data together, make data_layout
an alias of core_layout, that way data_layout can be used for all
data manipulations, regardless of whether data is in core_layout or
data_layout.

debug_align() was added by commit 84e1c6bb38eb ("x86: Add RO/NX
protection for loadable kernel modules")
At that time the config item was CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX.
But nowadays it has changed to CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX and
debug_align() is confusing because it has nothing to do with
DEBUG.
Rename it strict_align()

Move module_enable_x() together with module_enable_nx() and
module_enable_ro().
Those three functions are going together, they are all used
to set up the correct page flags on the different sections.
As module_enable_x() is used independently of
CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX, build strict_rwx.c all the time and
use IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX) when relevant.

module_enable_x() has nothing to do with CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_STRICT_MODULE_RWX
allthough by coincidence architectures who need module_enable_x() are
selection CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_STRICT_MODULE_RWX.
Enable module_enable_x() for everyone everytime. If an architecture
already has module text set executable, it's a no-op.
Don't check text_size alignment. When CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX is set
the verification is already done in frob_rodata(). When
CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX is not set it is not a big deal to have the
start of data as executable. Just make sure we entirely get the last
page when the boundary is not aligned.
And don't BUG on misaligned base as some architectures like nios2
use kmalloc() for allocating modules. So just bail out in that case.
If that's a problem, a page fault will occur later anyway.
