2017-11-07kprobes, x86/alternatives: Use text_mutex to protect smp_alt_modulesZhou Chengming
We use alternatives_text_reserved() to check if the address is in the fixed pieces of alternative reserved, but the problem is that we don't hold the smp_alt mutex when call this function. So the list traversal may encounter a deleted list_head if another path is doing alternatives_smp_module_del(). One solution is that we can hold smp_alt mutex before call this function, but the difficult point is that the callers of this functions, arch_prepare_kprobe() and arch_prepare_optimized_kprobe(), are called inside the text_mutex. So we must hold smp_alt mutex before we go into these arch dependent code. But we can't now, the smp_alt mutex is the arch dependent part, only x86 has it. Maybe we can export another arch dependent callback to solve this. But there is a simpler way to handle this problem. We can reuse the text_mutex to protect smp_alt_modules instead of using another mutex. And all the arch dependent checks of kprobes are inside the text_mutex, so it's safe now.

2017-09-23extable: Enable RCU if it is not watching in kernel_text_address()Steven Rostedt (VMware)
If kernel_text_address() is called when RCU is not watching, it can cause an RCU bug because is_module_text_address(), the is_kprobe_*insn_slot() and is_bpf_text_address() functions require the use of RCU. Only enable RCU if it is not currently watching before it calls is_module_text_address(). The use of rcu_nmi_enter() is used to enable RCU because kernel_text_address() can happen pretty much anywhere (like an NMI), and even from within an NMI. It is called via save_stack_trace() that can be called by any WARN() or tracing function, which can happen while RCU is not watching (for example, going to or coming from idle, or during CPU take down or bring up).

2017-09-23extable: Consolidate *kernel_text_address() functionsSteven Rostedt (VMware)
The functionality between kernel_text_address() and _kernel_text_address() is the same except that _kernel_text_address() does a little more (that function needs a rename, but that can be done another time). Instead of having duplicate code in both, simply have _kernel_text_address() calls kernel_text_address() instead. This is marked for stable because there's an RCU bug that can happen if one of these functions gets called while RCU is not watching. That fix depends on this fix to keep from having to write the fix twice. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Fixes: 0be964be0 ("module: Sanitize RCU usage and locking") Acked-by: Paul E.

2017-02-17bpf: make jited programs visible in tracesDaniel Borkmann
Long standing issue with JITed programs is that stack traces from function tracing check whether a given address is kernel code through {__,}kernel_text_address(), which checks for code in core kernel, modules and dynamically allocated ftrace trampolines. But what is still missing is BPF JITed programs (interpreted programs are not an issue as __bpf_prog_run() will be attributed to them), thus when a stack trace is triggered, the code walking the stack won't see any of the JITed ones. The same for address correlation done from user space via reading /proc/kallsyms. This is read by tools like perf, but the latter is also useful for permanent live tracing with eBPF itself in combination with stack maps when other eBPF types are part of the callchain. See offwaketime example on dumping stack from a map. This work tries to tackle that issue by making the addresses and symbols known to the kernel. The lookup from *kernel_text_address() is implemented through a latched RB tree that can be read under RCU in fast-path that is also shared for symbol/size/offset lookup for a specific given address in kallsyms. The slow-path iteration through all symbols in the seq file done via RCU list, which holds a tiny fraction of all exported ksyms, usually below 0.1 percent. Function symbols are exported as bpf_prog_<tag>, in order to aide debugging and attribution. This facility is currently enabled for root-only when bpf_jit_kallsyms is set to 1, and disabled if hardening is active in any mode. The rationale behind this is that still a lot of systems ship with world read permissions on kallsyms thus addresses should not get suddenly exposed for them. If that situation gets much better in future, we always have the option to change the default on this. Likewise, unprivileged programs are not allowed to add entries there either, but that is less of a concern as most such programs types relevant in this context are for root-only anyway. If enabled, call graphs and stack traces will then show a correct attribution; one example is illustrated below, where the trace is now visible in tooling such as perf script --kallsyms=/proc/kallsyms and friends.

2017-02-09core: migrate exception table users off module.h and onto extable.hPaul Gortmaker
These files were including module.h for exception table related functions. We've now separated that content out into its own file "extable.h" so now move over to that and where possible, avoid all the extra header content in module.h that we don't really need to compile these non-modular files. Note: init/main.c still needs module.h for __init_or_module kernel/extable.c still needs module.h for is_module_text_address ...and so we don't get the benefit of removing module.h from the cpp feed for these two files, unlike the almost universal 1:1 exchange of module.h for extable.h we were able to do in the arch dirs.

2017-01-14kprobes, extable: Identify kprobes trampolines as kernel text areaMasami Hiramatsu
Improve __kernel_text_address()/kernel_text_address() to return true if the given address is on a kprobe's instruction slot trampoline. This can help stacktraces to determine the address is on a text area or not. To implement this atomically in is_kprobe_*_slot(), also change the insn_cache page list to an RCU list. This changes timings a bit (it delays page freeing to the RCU garbage collection phase), but none of that is in the hot path. Note: this change can add small overhead to stack unwinders because it adds 2 additional checks to __kernel_text_address(). However, the impact should be very small, because kprobe_insn_pages list has 1 entry per 256 probes(on x86, on arm/arm64 it will be 1024 probes), and kprobe_optinsn_pages has 1 entry per 32 probes(on x86). In most use cases, the number of kprobe events may be less than 20, which means that is_kprobe_*_slot() will check just one entry.

2014-11-19ftrace/x86/extable: Add is_ftrace_trampoline() functionSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
Stack traces that happen from function tracing check if the address on the stack is a __kernel_text_address(). That is, is the address kernel code. This calls core_kernel_text() which returns true if the address is part of the builtin kernel code. It also calls is_module_text_address() which returns true if the address belongs to module code. But what is missing is ftrace dynamically allocated trampolines. These trampolines are allocated for individual ftrace_ops that call the ftrace_ops callback functions directly. But if they do a stack trace, the code checking the stack wont detect them as they are neither core kernel code nor module address space. Adding another field to ftrace_ops that also stores the size of the trampoline assigned to it we can create a new function called is_ftrace_trampoline() that returns true if the address is a dynamically allocate ftrace trampoline. Note, it ignores trampolines that are not dynamically allocated as they will return true with the core_kernel_text() function.

2011-05-20extable, core_kernel_data(): Make sure all archs define _sdataSteven Rostedt
A new utility function (core_kernel_data()) is used to determine if a passed in address is part of core kernel data or not. It may or may not return true for RO data, but this utility must work for RW data. Thus both _sdata and _edata must be defined and continuous, without .init sections that may later be freed and replaced by volatile memory (memory that can be freed).

2011-05-20core_kernel_data(): Fix architectures that do not define _sdataIngo Molnar
Some architectures such as Alpha do not define _sdata but _data: kernel/built-in.o: In function `core_kernel_data': kernel/extable.c:77: undefined reference to `_sdata' So expand the scope of the data range to the text addresses too, this might be more correct anyway because this way we can cover readonly variables as well.

2011-05-18ftrace: Allow dynamically allocated function tracersSteven Rostedt
Now that functions may be selected individually, it only makes sense that we should allow dynamically allocated trace structures to be traced. This will allow perf to allocate a ftrace_ops structure at runtime and use it to pick and choose which functions that structure will trace. Note, a dynamically allocated ftrace_ops will always be called indirectly instead of being called directly from the mcount in entry.S. This is because there's no safe way to prevent mcount from being preempted before calling the function, unless we modify every entry.S to do so (not likely). Thus, dynamically allocated functions will now be called by the ftrace_ops_list_func() that loops through the ops that are allocated if there are more than one op allocated at a time. This loop is protected with a preempt_disable. To determine if an ftrace_ops structure is allocated or not, a new util function was added to the kernel/extable.c called core_kernel_data(), which returns 1 if the address is between _sdata and _edata.

Impact: Replace and remove risky (non-EXPORTed) API module_text_address() returns a pointer to the module, which given locking improvements in module.c, is useless except to test for NULL: 1) If the module can't go away, use __module_text_address. 2) Otherwise, just use is_module_text_address().

2009-03-19symbols, stacktrace: look up init symbols after module symbolsIngo Molnar
Impact: fix incomplete stacktraces I noticed such weird stacktrace entries in lockdep dumps: [ 0.285956] {HARDIRQ-ON-W} state was registered at: [ 0.285956] [<ffffffff802bce90>] mark_irqflags+0xbe/0x125 [ 0.285956] [<ffffffff802bf2fd>] __lock_acquire+0x674/0x82d [ 0.285956] [<ffffffff802bf5b2>] lock_acquire+0xfc/0x128 [ 0.285956] [<ffffffff8135b636>] rt_spin_lock+0xc8/0xd0 [ 0.285956] [<ffffffffffffffff>] 0xffffffffffffffff The stacktrace entry is cut off after rt_spin_lock. After much debugging i found out that stacktrace entries that belong to init symbols dont get printed out, due to commit: a2da405: module: Don't report discarded init pages as kernel text. The reason is this check added to core_kernel_text(): - if (addr >= (unsigned long)_sinittext && + if (system_state == SYSTEM_BOOTING && + addr >= (unsigned long)_sinittext && addr <= (unsigned long)_einittext) return 1; This will discard inittext symbols even though their symbol table is still present and even though stacktraces done while the system was booting up might still be relevant. To not reintroduce the (not well-specified) bug addressed in that commit, first do a module symbols lookup, then a final init-symbols lookup. This will work fine on architectures that have separate address spaces for modules (such as x86) - and should not crash any other architectures either.

When the function graph tracer picks a return address, it ensures this address is really a kernel text one by calling __kernel_text_address() Actually this path has never been taken.Its role was more likely to debug the tracer on the beginning of its development but this function is wasteful since it is called for every traced function.

2008-12-08tracing/function-graph-tracer: introduce __notrace_funcgraph to filter ↵Frederic Weisbecker
special functions Impact: trace more functions When the function graph tracer is configured, three more files are not traced to prevent only four functions to be traced. And this impacts the normal function tracer too. arch/x86/kernel/process_64/32.c: I had crashes when I let this file traced. After some debugging, I saw that the "current" task point was changed inside__swtich_to(), ie: "write_pda(pcurrent, next_p);" inside process_64.c Since the tracer store the original return address of the function inside current, we had crashes. Only __switch_to() has to be excluded from tracing. kernel/module.c and kernel/extable.c: Because of a function used internally by the function graph tracer: __kernel_text_address() To let the other functions inside these files to be traced, this patch introduces the __notrace_funcgraph function prefix which is __notrace if function graph tracer is configured and nothing if not.

2008-01-29module: Don't report discarded init pages as kernel text.Rusty Russell
Current code could cause a bug in symbol_put_addr() if an arch used kmalloc module text: we might think the symbol belongs to the core kernel. The downside is that this might make backtraces through (discarded) init functions harder to read on some archs, but we already have that issue for modules and noone has complained.

2006-05-15[PATCH] symbol_put_addr() locks kernelTrent Piepho
Even since a previous patch: Fix race between CONFIG_DEBUG_SLABALLOC and modules Sun, 27 Jun 2004 17:55:19 +0000 (17:55 +0000) http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/old-2.6-bkcvs.git;a=commit;h=92b3db26d31cf21b70e3c1eadc56c179506d8fbe The function symbol_put_addr() will deadlock the kernel. symbol_put_addr() would acquire modlist_lock, then while holding the lock call two functions kernel_text_address() and module_text_address() which also try to acquire the same lock. This deadlocks the kernel of course. This patch changes symbol_put_addr() to not acquire the modlist_lock, it doesn't need it since it never looks at the module list directly. Also, it now uses core_kernel_text() instead of kernel_text_address(). The latter has an additional check for addr inside a module, but we don't need to do that since we call module_text_address() (the same function kernel_text_address uses) ourselves.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
