modules-6.4-rc1
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 on this pull request. 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 |

Networking changes for 6.4.
Core ---- - Introduce a config option to tweak MAX_SKB_FRAGS. Increasing the default value allows for better BIG TCP performances. - Reduce compound page head access for zero-copy data transfers. - RPS/RFS improvements, avoiding unneeded NET_RX_SOFTIRQ when possible. - Threaded NAPI improvements, adding defer skb free support and unneeded softirq avoidance. - Address dst_entry reference count scalability issues, via false sharing avoidance and optimize refcount tracking. - Add lockless accesses annotation to sk_err[_soft]. - Optimize again the skb struct layout. - Extends the skb drop reasons to make it usable by multiple subsystems. - Better const qualifier awareness for socket casts. BPF --- - Add skb and XDP typed dynptrs which allow BPF programs for more ergonomic and less brittle iteration through data and variable-sized accesses. - Add a new BPF netfilter program type and minimal support to hook BPF programs to netfilter hooks such as prerouting or forward. - Add more precise memory usage reporting for all BPF map types. - Adds support for using {FOU,GUE} encap with an ipip device operating in collect_md mode and add a set of BPF kfuncs for controlling encap params. - Allow BPF programs to detect at load time whether a particular kfunc exists or not, and also add support for this in light skeleton. - Bigger batch of BPF verifier improvements to prepare for upcoming BPF open-coded iterators allowing for less restrictive looping capabilities. - Rework RCU enforcement in the verifier, add kptr_rcu and enforce BPF programs to NULL-check before passing such pointers into kfunc. - Add support for kptrs in percpu hashmaps, percpu LRU hashmaps and in local storage maps. - Enable RCU semantics for task BPF kptrs and allow referenced kptr tasks to be stored in BPF maps. - Add support for refcounted local kptrs to the verifier for allowing shared ownership, useful for adding a node to both the BPF list and rbtree. - Add BPF verifier support for ST instructions in convert_ctx_access() which will help new -mcpu=v4 clang flag to start emitting them. - Add ARM32 USDT support to libbpf. - Improve bpftool's visual program dump which produces the control flow graph in a DOT format by adding C source inline annotations. Protocols --------- - IPv4: Allow adding to IPv4 address a 'protocol' tag. Such value indicates the provenance of the IP address. - IPv6: optimize route lookup, dropping unneeded R/W lock acquisition. - Add the handshake upcall mechanism, allowing the user-space to implement generic TLS handshake on kernel's behalf. - Bridge: support per-{Port, VLAN} neighbor suppression, increasing resilience to nodes failures. - SCTP: add support for Fair Capacity and Weighted Fair Queueing schedulers. - MPTCP: delay first subflow allocation up to its first usage. This will allow for later better LSM interaction. - xfrm: Remove inner/outer modes from input/output path. These are not needed anymore. - WiFi: - reduced neighbor report (RNR) handling for AP mode - HW timestamping support - support for randomized auth/deauth TA for PASN privacy - per-link debugfs for multi-link - TC offload support for mac80211 drivers - mac80211 mesh fast-xmit and fast-rx support - enable Wi-Fi 7 (EHT) mesh support Netfilter --------- - Add nf_tables 'brouting' support, to force a packet to be routed instead of being bridged. - Update bridge netfilter and ovs conntrack helpers to handle IPv6 Jumbo packets properly, i.e. fetch the packet length from hop-by-hop extension header. This is needed for BIT TCP support. - The iptables 32bit compat interface isn't compiled in by default anymore. - Move ip(6)tables builtin icmp matches to the udptcp one. This has the advantage that icmp/icmpv6 match doesn't load the iptables/ip6tables modules anymore when iptables-nft is used. - Extended netlink error report for netdevice in flowtables and netdev/chains. Allow for incrementally add/delete devices to netdev basechain. Allow to create netdev chain without device. Driver API ---------- - Remove redundant Device Control Error Reporting Enable, as PCI core has already error reporting enabled at enumeration time. - Move Multicast DB netlink handlers to core, allowing devices other then bridge to use them. - Allow the page_pool to directly recycle the pages from safely localized NAPI. - Implement lockless TX queue stop/wake combo macros, allowing for further code de-duplication and sanitization. - Add YNL support for user headers and struct attrs. - Add partial YNL specification for devlink. - Add partial YNL specification for ethtool. - Add tc-mqprio and tc-taprio support for preemptible traffic classes. - Add tx push buf len param to ethtool, specifies the maximum number of bytes of a transmitted packet a driver can push directly to the underlying device. - Add basic LED support for switch/phy. - Add NAPI documentation, stop relaying on external links. - Convert dsa_master_ioctl() to netdev notifier. This is a preparatory work to make the hardware timestamping layer selectable by user space. - Add transceiver support and improve the error messages for CAN-FD controllers.

kallsyms: move module-related functions under correct configs
Functions for searching module kallsyms should have non-empty
definitions only if CONFIG_MODULES=y and CONFIG_KALLSYMS=y. Until now,
only CONFIG_MODULES check was used for many of these, which may have
caused complilation errors on some configs.
This patch moves all relevant functions under the correct configs.

kernel/module: add documentation for try_module_get()
There is quite a bit of tribal knowledge around proper use of try_module_get() and requiring *somehow* the module to still exist to use this call in a way that is safe. Document this bit of tribal knowledge. To be clear, you should only use try_module_get() *iff* you are 100% sure the module already does exist and is not on its way out. You can be sure the module still exists and is alive through: 1) Direct protection with its refcount: you know some earlier caller called __module_get() safely 2) Implied protection: there is an implied protection against module removal Having an idea of when you are sure __module_get() might be called earlier is easy to understand however the implied protection requires an example. We use sysfs an an example for implied protection without a direct module reference count bump. kernfs / sysfs uses its own internal reference counting for files being actively used, when such file are active they completely prevent the module from being removed. kernfs protects this with its kernfs_active(). Effort has been put into verifying the kernfs implied protection works by using a currently out-of-tree test_sysfs selftest test #32 [0]: ./tools/testing/selftests/sysfs/sysfs.sh -t 0032 Without kernfs / sysfs preventing module removal through its active reference count (kernfs_active()) the write would fail or worse, a crash would happen in this test and it does not. Similar safeguards are required for other users of try_module_get() *iff* they are not ensuring the above rule 1) is followed.

dyndbg: use the module notifier callbacks
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: replace module_layout with module_memory
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.

modules-6.3-rc1
Nothing exciting at all for modules for v6.3. The biggest change is
just the change of INSTALL_MOD_DIR from "extra" to "updates" which
I found lingered for ages for no good reason while testing the CXL
mock driver [0]. The CXL mock driver has no kconfig integration and requires
building an external module... and re-building the *rest* of the production
drivers. This mock driver when loaded but not the production ones will
crash. All this crap can obviously be fixed by integrating kconfig
semantics into such test module, however that's not desirable by
the maintainer, and so sensible defaults must be used to ensure a
default "make modules_install" will suffice for most distros which
do not have a file like /etc/depmod.d/dist.conf with something like
`search updates extra built-in`. Since most distros rely on kmod and
since its inception the "updates" directory is always in the search
path it makes more sense to use that than the "extra" which only
*some* RH based systems rely on. All this stuff has been on linux-next
for a while.
For v6.4 I already have queued some initial work by Song Liu which gets
us slowly going to a place where we *may* see a generic allocator for
huge pages for module text to avoid direct map fragmentation *and*
reduce iTLB pressure. That work is in its initial stages, no allocator
work is done yet. This is all just prep work. Fortunately Thomas Gleixner
has helped convince Song that modules *need* to be *requirement* if we
are going to see any special allocator touch x86. So who knows... maybe
around v6.5 we'll start seeing some *real* performance numbers of the
effect of using huge pages for something other than eBPF toys.
For v6.4 also, you may start seeing patches from Nick Alcock on different
trees and modules-next which aims at extending kallsyms *eventually* to provide
clearer address to symbol lookups. The claim is that this is a *great* *feature*
tracing tools are dying to have so they can for instance disambiguate symbols as
coming from modules or from other parts of the kernel. I'm still waiting to see
proper too usage of such stuff, but *how* we lay this out is still being ironed
out. Part of the initial work I've been pushing for is to help upkeep our
modules build optimizations, so being mindful about the work by Masahiro Yamada

livepatch: Improve the search performance of module_kallsyms_on_each_symbol()
Currently we traverse all symbols of all modules to find the specified function for the specified module. But in reality, we just need to find the given module and then traverse all the symbols in it. Let's add a new parameter 'const char *modname' to function module_kallsyms_on_each_symbol(), then we can compare the module names directly in this function and call hook 'fn' after matching. If 'modname' is NULL, the symbols of all modules are still traversed for compatibility with other usage cases. Phase1: mod1-->mod2..(subsequent modules do not need to be compared) | Phase2: -->f1-->f2-->f3 Assuming that there are m modules, each module has n symbols on average, then the time complexity is reduced from O(m * n) to O(m) + O(n).

kunit: flatten kunit_suite*** to kunit_suite** in .kunit_test_suites
We currently store kunit suites in the .kunit_test_suites ELF section as a `struct kunit_suite***` (modulo some `const`s). For every test file, we store a struct kunit_suite** NULL-terminated array. This adds quite a bit of complexity to the test filtering code in the executor. Instead, let's just make the .kunit_test_suites section contain a single giant array of struct kunit_suite pointers, which can then be directly manipulated. This array is not NULL-terminated, and so none of the test filtering code needs to NULL-terminate anything.

kunit: unify module and builtin suite definitions
Currently, KUnit runs built-in tests and tests loaded from modules differently. For built-in tests, the kunit_test_suite{,s}() macro adds a list of suites in the .kunit_test_suites linker section. However, for kernel modules, a module_init() function is used to run the test suites. This causes problems if tests are included in a module which already defines module_init/exit_module functions, as they'll conflict with the kunit-provided ones. This change removes the kunit-defined module inits, and instead parses the kunit tests from their own section in the module. After module init, we call __kunit_test_suites_init() on the contents of that section, which prepares and runs the suite. This essentially unifies the module- and non-module kunit init formats.

module: Add CONFIG_ARCH_WANTS_MODULES_DATA_IN_VMALLOC
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.

This change is being made to help support LSMs like LoadPin as otherwise it loses link between the source of kernel module on the disk and binary blob that is being loaded into the kernel. kmod decompression is still done by userspace even with this is done, both because there are no measurable gains in not doing so and as it adds a secondary extra check for validating the module before loading it into the kernel. The rest of the changes are minor, the only other change worth mentionin there is Jessica Yu is now bowing out of maintenance of modules as she's taking a break from work. While there were other changes posted for modules, those have not yet received much review of testing so I'm not yet comfortable in merging any of those changes yet." * 'modules-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/linux: module: fix signature check failures when using in-kernel decompression kernel: Fix spelling mistake "compresser" -> "compressor" MAINTAINERS: add mailing lists for kmod and modules module.h: allow #define strings to work with MODULE_IMPORT_NS module: add in-kernel support for decompressing MAINTAINERS: Remove myself as modules maintainer module: Remove outdated comment |

Update module_put_and_exit to call kthread_exit instead of do_exit. Change the name to reflect this change in functionality. All of the users of module_put_and_exit are causing the current kthread to exit so this change makes it clear what is happening. There is no functional change. Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

printk: Userspace format indexing support
We have a number of systems industry-wide that have a subset of their functionality that works as follows: 1. Receive a message from local kmsg, serial console, or netconsole; 2. Apply a set of rules to classify the message; 3. Do something based on this classification (like scheduling a remediation for the machine), rinse, and repeat. As a couple of examples of places we have this implemented just inside Facebook, although this isn't a Facebook-specific problem, we have this inside our netconsole processing (for alarm classification), and as part of our machine health checking. We use these messages to determine fairly important metrics around production health, and it's important that we get them right. While for some kinds of issues we have counters, tracepoints, or metrics with a stable interface which can reliably indicate the issue, in order to react to production issues quickly we need to work with the interface which most kernel developers naturally use when developing: printk. Most production issues come from unexpected phenomena, and as such usually the code in question doesn't have easily usable tracepoints or other counters available for the specific problem being mitigated. We have a number of lines of monitoring defence against problems in production (host metrics, process metrics, service metrics, etc), and where it's not feasible to reliably monitor at another level, this kind of pragmatic netconsole monitoring is essential. As one would expect, monitoring using printk is rather brittle for a number of reasons -- most notably that the message might disappear entirely in a new version of the kernel, or that the message may change in some way that the regex or other classification methods start to silently fail. One factor that makes this even harder is that, under normal operation, many of these messages are never expected to be hit. For example, there may be a rare hardware bug which one wants to detect if it was to ever happen again, but its recurrence is not likely or anticipated. This precludes using something like checking whether the printk in question was printed somewhere fleetwide recently to determine whether the message in question is still present or not, since we don't anticipate that it should be printed anywhere, but still need to monitor for its future presence in the long-term. This class of issue has happened on a number of occasions, causing unhealthy machines with hardware issues to remain in production for longer than ideal. As a recent example, some monitoring around blk_update_request fell out of date and caused semi-broken machines to remain in production for longer than would be desirable. Searching through the codebase to find the message is also extremely fragile, because many of the messages are further constructed beyond their callsite (eg. btrfs_printk and other module-specific wrappers, each with their own functionality). Even if they aren't, guessing the format and formulation of the underlying message based on the aesthetics of the message emitted is not a recipe for success at scale, and our previous issues with fleetwide machine health checking demonstrate as much. This provides a solution to the issue of silently changed or deleted printks: we record pointers to all printk format strings known at compile time into a new .printk_index section, both in vmlinux and modules. At runtime, this can then be iterated by looking at <debugfs>/printk/index/<module>, which emits the following format, both readable by humans and able to be parsed by machines: $ head -1 vmlinux; shuf -n 5 vmlinux # <level[,flags]> filename:line function "format" <5> block/blk-settings.c:661 disk_stack_limits "%s: Warning: Device %s is misaligned\n" <4> kernel/trace/trace.c:8296 trace_create_file "Could not create tracefs '%s' entry\n" <6> arch/x86/kernel/hpet.c:144 _hpet_print_config "hpet: %s(%d):\n" <6> init/do_mounts.c:605 prepare_namespace "Waiting for root device %s...\n" <6> drivers/acpi/osl.c:1410 acpi_no_auto_serialize_setup "ACPI: auto-serialization disabled\n" This mitigates the majority of cases where we have a highly-specific printk which we want to match on, as we can now enumerate and check whether the format changed or the printk callsite disappeared entirely in userspace. This allows us to catch changes to printks we monitor earlier and decide what to do about it before it becomes problematic. There is no additional runtime cost for printk callers or printk itself, and the assembly generated is exactly the same.

module: add printk formats to add module build ID to stacktraces
Let's make kernel stacktraces easier to identify by including the build ID[1] of a module if the stacktrace is printing a symbol from a module. This makes it simpler for developers to locate a kernel module's full debuginfo for a particular stacktrace. Combined with scripts/decode_stracktrace.sh, a developer can download the matching debuginfo from a debuginfod[2] server and find the exact file and line number for the functions plus offsets in a stacktrace that match the module. This is especially useful for pstore crash debugging where the kernel crashes are recorded in something like console-ramoops and the recovery kernel/modules are different or the debuginfo doesn't exist on the device due to space concerns (the debuginfo can be too large for space limited devices). Originally, I put this on the %pS format, but that was quickly rejected given that %pS is used in other places such as ftrace where build IDs aren't meaningful. There was some discussions on the list to put every module build ID into the "Modules linked in:" section of the stacktrace message but that quickly becomes very hard to read once you have more than three or four modules linked in. It also provides too much information when we don't expect each module to be traversed in a stacktrace. Having the build ID for modules that aren't important just makes things messy. Splitting it to multiple lines for each module quickly explodes the number of lines printed in an oops too, possibly wrapping the warning off the console. And finally, trying to stash away each module used in a callstack to provide the ID of each symbol printed is cumbersome and would require changes to each architecture to stash away modules and return their build IDs once unwinding has completed. Instead, we opt for the simpler approach of introducing new printk formats '%pS[R]b' for "pointer symbolic backtrace with module build ID" and '%pBb' for "pointer backtrace with module build ID" and then updating the few places in the architecture layer where the stacktrace is printed to use this new format.

add support for Clang CFI
This change adds support for Clang’s forward-edge Control Flow Integrity (CFI) checking. With CONFIG_CFI_CLANG, the compiler injects a runtime check before each indirect function call to ensure the target is a valid function with the correct static type. This restricts possible call targets and makes it more difficult for an attacker to exploit bugs that allow the modification of stored function pointers. For more details, see: https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ControlFlowIntegrity.html Clang requires CONFIG_LTO_CLANG to be enabled with CFI to gain visibility to possible call targets. Kernel modules are supported with Clang’s cross-DSO CFI mode, which allows checking between independently compiled components. With CFI enabled, the compiler injects a __cfi_check() function into the kernel and each module for validating local call targets. For cross-module calls that cannot be validated locally, the compiler calls the global __cfi_slowpath_diag() function, which determines the target module and calls the correct __cfi_check() function. This patch includes a slowpath implementation that uses __module_address() to resolve call targets, and with CONFIG_CFI_CLANG_SHADOW enabled, a shadow map that speeds up module look-ups by ~3x. Clang implements indirect call checking using jump tables and offers two methods of generating them. With canonical jump tables, the compiler renames each address-taken function to <function>.cfi and points the original symbol to a jump table entry, which passes __cfi_check() validation. This isn’t compatible with stand-alone assembly code, which the compiler doesn’t instrument, and would result in indirect calls to assembly code to fail. Therefore, we default to using non-canonical jump tables instead, where the compiler generates a local jump table entry <function>.cfi_jt for each address-taken function, and replaces all references to the function with the address of the jump table entry. Note that because non-canonical jump table addresses are local to each component, they break cross-module function address equality. Specifically, the address of a global function will be different in each module, as it's replaced with the address of a local jump table entry. If this address is passed to a different module, it won’t match the address of the same function taken there. This may break code that relies on comparing addresses passed from other components. CFI checking can be disabled in a function with the __nocfi attribute. Additionally, CFI can be disabled for an entire compilation unit by filtering out CC_FLAGS_CFI. By default, CFI failures result in a kernel panic to stop a potential exploit. CONFIG_CFI_PERMISSIVE enables a permissive mode, where the kernel prints out a rate-limited warning instead, and allows execution to continue. This option is helpful for locating type mismatches, but should only be enabled during development.

Modules updates for v5.11
Summary of modules changes for the 5.11 merge window: - Fix a race condition between systemd/udev and the module loader. The module loader was sending a uevent before the module was fully initialized (i.e., before its init function has been called). This means udev can start processing the module uevent before the module has finished initializing, and some udev rules expect that the module has initialized already upon receiving the uevent. This resulted in some systemd mount units failing if udev processes the event faster than the module can finish init. This is fixed by delaying the uevent until after the module has called its init routine. - Make the linker array sections for kernel params and module version attributes more robust by switching to use the alignment of the type in question. Namely, linker section arrays will be constructed using the alignment required by the struct (using __alignof__()) as opposed to a specific value such as sizeof(void *) or sizeof(long). This is less likely to cause breakages should the size of the type ever change (from Johan Hovold) - Fix module state inconsistency by setting it back to GOING when a module fails to load and is on its way out (from Miroslav Benes) - Some comment and code cleanups (from Sergey Shtylyov) Signed-off-by: Jessica Yu <jeyu@kernel.org> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQJEBAABCAAuFiEEVrp26glSWYuDNrCUwEV+OM47wXIFAl/bVuwQHGpleXVAa2Vy bmVsLm9yZwAKCRDARX44zjvBcgkTEACNqNApglXgtWMphj2kHxKDPboUtMwlRAuN XAokanrQTk3eI9PvQR7lWBceViwUMI5qgfB7l1n9FKUTeo2heijs7YYWlo5y3Oed 9eYBMC2V8M8j7j8V2bXoHBKZHOyMGjZHpwkZDxvU1MlnJUjyz8q6RTRaSk4nutyb fkVMP9tOt699382gJqoVoN0nnXAYCn0CXHJgu2gz7SGegW9+5xAgP2s/NDxJN9Pa lDKeTE78iiV2k4cGfN3y9BhTfEl+LZoO9rXRHZRNkJ1T/mcyG17hrqSzUTxk/7Md iQ9jgNWtt0RYiVUkze54DOZM4T/OT3QrvYEEFbCPj9z5QDDLPRO4pO2+VSi5pBpn 7pzS6p7/HOx6RrwXrMpHE3tIKiZW4S6+ZxvM49/bAxA8debbaqH1PdwJNBqEz/Mb jzfuabD2UKIARYsGVn+/xbpWn53jvK59guIBT1be8RqmXyp8jnyBjmO68N483nmj zcT3qJsQySMSPi4gf0P7UkNTaMUa5OyVmfF7PkY+HrUxHNRiC5nV6isW/vtQh1vv 4xKZimC2cihKE2S3+sounfChmFSzUZrwgeTDCq6iWvA2nY6gGljOh2WNyplkSHy4 DCDBb7ZWYWSAWnku4mkMpCsaPBHoYdq++JVW+xWvXLkJHBkXSIPgWCAGjwmGPfjC bU7lZcudGQ== =FAwZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'modules-for-v5.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeyu/linux Pull modules updates from Jessica Yu: "Summary of modules changes for the 5.11 merge window: - Fix a race condition between systemd/udev and the module loader.

bpf: Load and verify kernel module BTFs
Add kernel module listener that will load/validate and unload module BTF. Module BTFs gets ID generated for them, which makes it possible to iterate them with existing BTF iteration API. They are given their respective module's names, which will get reported through GET_OBJ_INFO API. They are also marked as in-kernel BTFs for tooling to distinguish them from user-provided BTFs. Also, similarly to vmlinux BTF, kernel module BTFs are exposed through sysfs as /sys/kernel/btf/<module-name>. This is convenient for user-space tools to inspect module BTF contents and dump their types with existing tools: [vmuser@archvm bpf]$ ls -la /sys/kernel/btf total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Nov 4 19:46 . drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 0 Nov 4 19:46 .. ... -r--r--r-- 1 root root 888 Nov 4 19:46 irqbypass -r--r--r-- 1 root root 100225 Nov 4 19:46 kvm -r--r--r-- 1 root root 35401 Nov 4 19:46 kvm_intel -r--r--r-- 1 root root 120 Nov 4 19:46 pcspkr -r--r--r-- 1 root root 399 Nov 4 19:46 serio_raw -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4094095 Nov 4 19:46 vmlinux Signed-off-by: Andrii Nakryiko <andrii@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20201110011932.3201430-5-andrii@kernel.org |

treewide: Convert macro and uses of __section(foo) to __section("foo")
Use a more generic form for __section that requires quotes to avoid complications with clang and gcc differences. Remove the quote operator # from compiler_attributes.h __section macro. Convert all unquoted __section(foo) uses to quoted __section("foo"). Also convert __attribute__((section("foo"))) uses to __section("foo") even if the __attribute__ has multiple list entry forms. Conversion done using the script at: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/75393e5ddc272dc7403de74d645e6c6e0f4e70eb.camel@perches.com/2-convert_section.pl Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Reviewed-by: Nick Desaulniers <ndesaulniers@gooogle.com> Reviewed-by: Miguel Ojeda <ojeda@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> |

static_call: Add inline static call infrastructure
Add infrastructure for an arch-specific CONFIG_HAVE_STATIC_CALL_INLINE option, which is a faster version of CONFIG_HAVE_STATIC_CALL. At runtime, the static call sites are patched directly, rather than using the out-of-line trampolines. Compared to out-of-line static calls, the performance benefits are more modest, but still measurable. Steven Rostedt did some tracepoint measurements: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181126155405.72b4f718@gandalf.local.home This code is heavily inspired by the jump label code (aka "static jumps"), as some of the concepts are very similar. For more details, see the comments in include/linux/static_call.h.

modules: inherit TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE
If a TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE exports symbol, inherit the taint flag for all modules importing these symbols, and don't allow loading symbols from TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE modules if the module previously imported gplonly symbols. Add a anti-circumvention devices so people don't accidentally get themselves into trouble this way.
