There are already macros to iterate over struct klp_func and klp_object. Add also klp_for_each_patch(). But make it internal because also klp_patches list is internal. Suggested-by:

The atomic replace and cumulative patches were introduced as a more secure way to handle dependent patches. They simplify the logic: + Any new cumulative patch is supposed to take over shadow variables and changes made by callbacks from previous livepatches. + All replaced patches are discarded and the modules can be unloaded. As a result, there is only one scenario when a cumulative livepatch gets disabled. The different handling of "normal" and cumulative patches might cause confusion. It would make sense to keep only one mode. On the other hand, it would be rude to enforce using the cumulative livepatches even for trivial and independent (hot) fixes. However, the stack of patches is not really necessary any longer. The patch ordering was never clearly visible via the sysfs interface. Also the "normal" patches need a lot of caution anyway. Note that the list of enabled patches is still necessary but the ordering is not longer enforced. Otherwise, the code is ready to disable livepatches in an random order. Namely, klp_check_stack_func() always looks for the function from the livepatch that is being disabled. klp_func structures are just removed from the related func_stack. Finally, the ftrace handlers is removed only when the func_stack becomes empty. Signed-off-by: -

Replaced patches are removed from the stack when the transition is finished. It means that Nop structures will never be needed again and can be removed. Why should we care? + Nop structures give the impression that the function is patched even though the ftrace handler has no effect. + Ftrace handlers do not come for free. They cause slowdown that might be visible in some workloads. The ftrace-related slowdown might actually be the reason why the function is no longer patched in the new cumulative patch. One would expect that cumulative patch would help solve these problems as well. + Cumulative patches are supposed to replace any earlier version of the patch. The amount of NOPs depends on which version was replaced. This multiplies the amount of scenarios that might happen. One might say that NOPs are innocent. But there are even optimized NOP instructions for different processors, for example, see arch/x86/kernel/alternative.c. And klp_ftrace_handler() is much more complicated. + It sounds natural to clean up a mess that is no longer needed. It could only be worse if we do not do it. This patch allows to unpatch and free the dynamic structures independently when the transition finishes. The free part is a bit tricky because kobject free callbacks are called asynchronously. We could not wait for them easily. Fortunately, we do not have to. Any further access can be avoided by removing them from the dynamic lists. Signed-off-by: -

Sometimes we would like to revert a particular fix. Currently, this is not easy because we want to keep all other fixes active and we could revert only the last applied patch. One solution would be to apply new patch that implemented all the reverted functions like in the original code. It would work as expected but there will be unnecessary redirections. In addition, it would also require knowing which functions need to be reverted at build time. Another problem is when there are many patches that touch the same functions. There might be dependencies between patches that are not enforced on the kernel side. Also it might be pretty hard to actually prepare the patch and ensure compatibility with the other patches. Atomic replace && cumulative patches: A better solution would be to create cumulative patch and say that it replaces all older ones. This patch adds a new "replace" flag to struct klp_patch. When it is enabled, a set of 'nop' klp_func will be dynamically created for all functions that are already being patched but that will no longer be modified by the new patch. They are used as a new target during the patch transition. The idea is to handle Nops' structures like the static ones. When the dynamic structures are allocated, we initialize all values that are normally statically defined. The only exception is "new_func" in struct klp_func. It has to point to the original function and the address is known only when the object (module) is loaded. Note that we really need to set it. The address is used, for example, in klp_check_stack_func(). Nevertheless we still need to distinguish the dynamically allocated structures in some operations. For this, we add "nop" flag into struct klp_func and "dynamic" flag into struct klp_object. They need special handling in the following situations: + The structures are added into the lists of objects and functions immediately. In fact, the lists were created for this purpose. + The address of the original function is known only when the patched object (module) is loaded. Therefore it is copied later in klp_init_object_loaded(). + The ftrace handler must not set PC to func->new_func. It would cause infinite loop because the address points back to the beginning of the original function. + The various free() functions must free the structure itself. Note that other ways to detect the dynamic structures are not considered safe. For example, even the statically defined struct klp_object might include empty funcs array. It might be there just to run some callbacks. Also note that the safe iterator must be used in the free() functions. Otherwise already freed structures might get accessed. Special callbacks handling: The callbacks from the replaced patches are _not_ called by intention. It would be pretty hard to define a reasonable semantic and implement it. It might even be counter-productive. The new patch is cumulative. It is supposed to include most of the changes from older patches. In most cases, it will not want to call pre_unpatch() post_unpatch() callbacks from the replaced patches. It would disable/break things for no good reasons. Also it should be easier to handle various scenarios in a single script in the new patch than think about interactions caused by running many scripts from older patches. Not to say that the old scripts even would not expect to be called in this situation. Removing replaced patches: One nice effect of the cumulative patches is that the code from the older patches is no longer used. Therefore the replaced patches can be removed. It has several advantages: + Nops' structs will no longer be necessary and might be removed. This would save memory, restore performance (no ftrace handler), allow clear view on what is really patched. + Disabling the patch will cause using the original code everywhere. Therefore the livepatch callbacks could handle only one scenario. Note that the complication is already complex enough when the patch gets enabled. It is currently solved by calling callbacks only from the new cumulative patch. + The state is clean in both the sysfs interface and lsmod. The modules with the replaced livepatches might even get removed from the system. Some people actually expected this behavior from the beginning. After all a cumulative patch is supposed to "completely" replace an existing one. It is like when a new version of an application replaces an older one. This patch does the first step. It removes the replaced patches from the list of patches. It is safe. The consistency model ensures that they are no longer used. By other words, each process works only with the structures from klp_transition_patch. The removal is done by a special function. It combines actions done by __disable_patch() and klp_complete_transition(). But it is a fast track without all the transaction-related stuff.

Currently klp_patch contains a pointer to a statically allocated array of struct klp_object and struct klp_objects contains a pointer to a statically allocated array of klp_func. In order to allow for the dynamic allocation of objects and functions, link klp_patch, klp_object, and klp_func together via linked lists. This allows us to more easily allocate new objects and functions, while having the iterator be a simple linked list walk. The static structures are added to the lists early. It allows to add the dynamically allocated objects before klp_init_object() and klp_init_func() calls. Therefore it reduces the further changes to the code. This patch does not change the existing behavior. Signed-off-by:

The possibility to re-enable a registered patch was useful for immediate patches where the livepatch module had to stay until the system reboot. The improved consistency model allows to achieve the same result by unloading and loading the livepatch module again. Also we are going to add a feature called atomic replace. It will allow to create a patch that would replace all already registered patches. The aim is to handle dependent patches more securely. It will obsolete the stack of patches that helped to handle the dependencies so far. Then it might be unclear when a cumulative patch re-enabling is safe. It would be complicated to support the many modes. Instead we could actually make the API and code easier to understand. Therefore, remove the two step public API. All the checks and init calls are moved from klp_register_patch() to klp_enabled_patch(). Also the patch is automatically freed, including the sysfs interface when the transition to the disabled state is completed. As a result, there is never a disabled patch on the top of the stack. Therefore we do not need to check the stack in __klp_enable_patch(). And we could simplify the check in __klp_disable_patch(). Also the API and logic is much easier. It is enough to call klp_enable_patch() in module_init() call. The patch can be disabled by writing '0' into /sys/kernel/livepatch/<patch>/enabled. Then the module can be removed once the transition finishes and sysfs interface is freed. The only problem is how to free the structures and kobjects safely. The operation is triggered from the sysfs interface. We could not put the related kobject from there because it would cause lock inversion between klp_mutex and kernfs locks, see kn->count lockdep map. Therefore, offload the free task to a workqueue. It is perfectly fine: + The patch can no longer be used in the livepatch operations. + The module could not be removed until the free operation finishes and module_put() is called. + The operation is asynchronous already when the first klp_try_complete_transition() fails and another call is queued with a delay.

module_put() is currently never called in klp_complete_transition() when klp_force is set. As a result, we might keep the reference count even when klp_enable_patch() fails and klp_cancel_transition() is called. This might give the impression that a module might get blocked in some strange init state. Fortunately, it is not the case. The reference count is ignored when mod->init fails and erroneous modules are always removed. Anyway, this might be confusing. Instead, this patch moves the global klp_forced flag into struct klp_patch. As a result, we block only modules that might still be in use after a forced transition. Newly loaded livepatches might be eventually completely removed later. It is not a big deal. But the code is at least consistent with the reality. Signed-off-by:

The code for freeing livepatch structures is a bit scattered and tricky: + direct calls to klp_free_*_limited() and kobject_put() are used to release partially initialized objects + klp_free_patch() removes the patch from the public list and releases all objects except for patch->kobj + object_put(&patch->kobj) and the related wait_for_completion() are called directly outside klp_mutex; this code is duplicated; Now, we are going to remove the registration stage to simplify the API and the code. This would require handling more situations in klp_enable_patch() error paths. More importantly, we are going to add a feature called atomic replace. It will need to dynamically create func and object structures. We will want to reuse the existing init() and free() functions. This would create even more error path scenarios. This patch implements more straightforward free functions: + checks kobj_added flag instead of @limit[*] + initializes patch->list early so that the check for empty list always works + The action(s) that has to be done outside klp_mutex are done in separate klp_free_patch_finish() function. It waits only when patch->kobj was really released via the _start() part. The patch does not change the existing behavior. [*] We need our own flag to track that the kobject was successfully added to the hierarchy. Note that kobj.state_initialized only indicates that kobject has been initialized, not whether is has been added (and needs to be removed on cleanup). Signed-off-by: -

We are going to simplify the API and code by removing the registration step. This would require calling init/free functions from enable/disable ones.

Petr Mladek authored
The address of the to be patched function and new function is stored in struct klp_func as: void *new_func; unsigned long old_addr; The different naming scheme and type are derived from the way the addresses are set. @old_addr is assigned at runtime using kallsyms-based search. @new_func is statically initialized, for example: static struct klp_func funcs[] = { { .old_name = "cmdline_proc_show", .new_func = livepatch_cmdline_proc_show, }, { } }; This patch changes unsigned long old_addr -> void *old_func. It removes some confusion when these address are later used in the code. It is motivated by a followup patch that adds special NOP struct klp_func where we want to assign func->new_func = func->old_addr respectively func->new_func = func->old_func. This patch does not modify the existing behavior. Suggested-by:

Pull ARM updates from Russell King: "Included in this update: - Florian Fainelli noticed that userspace segfaults caused by the lack of kernel-userspace helpers was hard to diagnose; we now issue a warning when userspace tries to use the helpers but the kernel has them disabled. - Ben Dooks wants compatibility for the old ATAG serial number with DT systems. - Some cleanup of assembly by Nicolas Pitre. - User accessors optimisation from Vincent Whitchurch. - More robust kdump on SMP systems from Yufen Wang. - Sebastian Andrzej Siewior noticed problems with the SMP "boot_lock" on RT kernels, and so we convert the Versatile series of platforms to use a raw spinlock instead, consolidating the Versatile implementation.

This has been broken forever, and nobody ever really noticed because it's purely a performance issue. Long long ago, in commit 6175ddf0 ("x86: Clean up mem*io functions") Brian Gerst simplified the memory copies to and from iomem, since on x86, the instructions to access iomem are exactly the same as the regular instructions. That is technically true, and things worked, and nobody said anything. Besides, back then the regular memcpy was pretty simple and worked fine. Nobody noticed except for David Laight, that is. David has a testing a TLP monitor he was writing for an FPGA, and has been occasionally complaining about how memcpy_toio() writes things one byte at a time. Which is completely unacceptable from a performance standpoint, even if it happens to technically work. The reason it's writing one byte at a time is because while it's technically true that accesses to iomem are the same as accesses to regular memory on x86, the _granularity_ (and ordering) of accesses matter to iomem in ways that they don't matter to regular cached memory. In particular, when ERMS is set, we default to using "rep movsb" for larger memory copies. That is indeed perfectly fine for real memory, since the whole point is that the CPU is going to do cacheline optimizations and executes the memory copy efficiently for cached memory. With iomem? Not so much. With iomem, "rep movsb" will indeed work, but it will copy things one byte at a time. Slowly and ponderously. Now, originally, back in 2010 when commit 6175ddf0 was done, we didn't use ERMS, and this was much less noticeable. Our normal memcpy() was simpler in other ways too. Because in fact, it's not just about using the string instructions. Our memcpy() these days does things like "read and write overlapping values" to handle the last bytes of the copy. Again, for normal memory, overlapping accesses isn't an issue. For iomem? It can be. So this re-introduces the specialized memcpy_toio(), memcpy_fromio() and memset_io() functions. It doesn't particularly optimize them, but it tries to at least not be horrid, or do overlapping accesses. In fact, this uses the existing __inline_memcpy() function that we still had lying around that uses our very traditional "rep movsl" loop followed by movsw/movsb for the final bytes. Somebody may decide to try to improve on it, but if we've gone almost a decade with only one person really ever noticing and complaining, maybe it's not worth worrying about further, once it's not _completely_ broken?

This actually enables the __put_user_goto() functionality in unsafe_put_user(). For an example of the effect of this, this is the code generated for the unsafe_put_user(signo, &infop->si_signo, Efault); in the waitid() system call: movl %ecx,(%rbx) # signo, MEM[(struct __large_struct *)_2] It's just one single store instruction, along with generating an exception table entry pointing to the Efault label case in case that instruction faults. Before, we would generate this: xorl %edx, %edx movl %ecx,(%rbx) # signo, MEM[(struct __large_struct *)_3] testl %edx, %edx jne .L309 with the exception table generated for that 'mov' instruction causing us to jump to a stub that set %edx to -EFAULT and then jumped back to the 'testl' instruction. So not only do we now get rid of the extra code in the normal sequence, we also avoid unnecessarily keeping that extra error register live across it all. Signed-off-by: -

This is finally the actual reason for the odd error handling in the "unsafe_get/put_user()" functions, introduced over three years ago. Using a "jump to error label" interface is somewhat odd, but very convenient as a programming interface, and more importantly, it fits very well with simply making the target be the exception handler address directly from the inline asm. The reason it took over three years to actually do this? We need "asm goto" support for it, which only became the default on x86 last year. It's now been a year that we've forced asm goto support (see commit e501ce95 "x86: Force asm-goto"), and so let's just do it here too. [ Side note: this commit was originally done back in 2016. The above commentary about timing is obviously about it only now getting merged into my real upstream tree - Linus ] Sadly, gcc still only supports "asm goto" with asms that do not have any outputs, so we are limited to only the put_user case for this. Maybe in several more years we can do the get_user case too. Signed-off-by:

The alternative coding patch for parisc in kernel 4.20 broke booting machines with PA8500-PA8700 CPUs. The problem is, that for such machines the parisc kernel automatically utilizes huge pages to access kernel text code, but the set_kernel_text_rw() function, which is used shortly before applying any alternative patches, didn't used the correctly hugepage-aligned addresses to remap the kernel text read-writeable.
