vmlinux.lds: Ensure that const vars with relocations are mapped R/O

2025-03-07T15:56:50+00:00

commit 68f3ea7ee199ef77551e090dfef5a49046ea8443 upstream. In the kernel, there are architectures (x86, arm64) that perform boot-time relocation (for KASLR) without relying on PIE codegen. In this case, all const global objects are emitted into .rodata, including const objects with fields that will be fixed up by the boot-time relocation code. This implies that .rodata (and .text in some cases) need to be writable at boot, but they will usually be mapped read-only as soon as the boot completes. When using PIE codegen, the compiler will emit const global objects into .data.rel.ro rather than .rodata if the object contains fields that need such fixups at boot-time. This permits the linker to annotate such regions as requiring read-write access only at load time, but not at execution time (in user space), while keeping .rodata truly const (in user space, this is important for reducing the CoW footprint of dynamic executables). This distinction does not matter for the kernel, but it does imply that const data will end up in writable memory if the .data.rel.ro sections are not treated in a special way, as they will end up in the writable .data segment by default. So emit .data.rel.ro into the .rodata segment.

arch: fix broken BuildID for arm64 and riscv

2023-02-25T10:25:42+00:00

commit 99cb0d917ffa1ab628bb67364ca9b162c07699b1 upstream. Dennis Gilmore reports that the BuildID is missing in the arm64 vmlinux since commit 994b7ac1697b ("arm64: remove special treatment for the link order of head.o"). The issue is that the type of .notes section, which contains the BuildID, changed from NOTES to PROGBITS. Ard Biesheuvel figured out that whichever object gets linked first gets to decide the type of a section. The PROGBITS type is the result of the compiler emitting .note.GNU-stack as PROGBITS rather than NOTE. While Ard provided a fix for arm64, I want to fix this globally because the same issue is happening on riscv since commit 2348e6bf4421 ("riscv: remove special treatment for the link order of head.o"). This problem will happen in general for other architectures if they start to drop unneeded entries from scripts/head-object-list.txt. Discard .note.GNU-stack in include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h.

vmlinux.lds.h: Fix placement of '.data..decrypted' section

2022-11-08T17:59:19+00:00

Commit d4c639990036 ("vmlinux.lds.h: Avoid orphan section with !SMP") fixed an orphan section warning by adding the '.data..decrypted' section to the linker script under the PERCPU_DECRYPTED_SECTION define but that placement introduced a panic with !SMP, as the percpu sections are not instantiated with that configuration so attempting to access variables defined with DEFINE_PER_CPU_DECRYPTED() will result in a page fault. Move the '.data..decrypted' section to the DATA_MAIN define so that the variables in it are properly instantiated at boot time with CONFIG_SMP=n.

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski: "Core: - Introduce and use a single page frag cache for allocating small skb heads, clawing back the 10-20% performance regression in UDP flood test from previous fixes. - Run packets which already went thru HW coalescing thru SW GRO. This significantly improves TCP segment coalescing and simplifies deployments as different workloads benefit from HW or SW GRO. - Shrink the size of the base zero-copy send structure. - Move TCP init under a new slow / sleepable version of DO_ONCE(). BPF: - Add BPF-specific, any-context-safe memory allocator. - Add helpers/kfuncs for PKCS#7 signature verification from BPF programs. - Define a new map type and related helpers for user space -> kernel communication over a ring buffer (BPF_MAP_TYPE_USER_RINGBUF). - Allow targeting BPF iterators to loop through resources of one task/thread. - Add ability to call selected destructive functions. Expose crash_kexec() to allow BPF to trigger a kernel dump. Use CAP_SYS_BOOT check on the loading process to judge permissions. - Enable BPF to collect custom hierarchical cgroup stats efficiently by integrating with the rstat framework. - Support struct arguments for trampoline based programs. Only structs with size <= 16B and x86 are supported. - Invoke cgroup/connect{4,6} programs for unprivileged ICMP ping sockets (instead of just TCP and UDP sockets). - Add a helper for accessing CLOCK_TAI for time sensitive network related programs. - Support accessing network tunnel metadata's flags. - Make TCP SYN ACK RTO tunable by BPF programs with TCP Fast Open. - Add support for writing to Netfilter's nf_conn:mark. Protocols: - WiFi: more Extremely High Throughput (EHT) and Multi-Link Operation (MLO) work (802.11be, WiFi 7). - vsock: improve support for SO_RCVLOWAT. - SMC: support SO_REUSEPORT. - Netlink: define and document how to use netlink in a "modern" way. Support reporting missing attributes via extended ACK. - IPSec: support collect metadata mode for xfrm interfaces. - TCPv6: send consistent autoflowlabel in SYN_RECV state and RST packets. - TCP: introduce optional per-netns connection hash table to allow better isolation between namespaces (opt-in, at the cost of memory and cache pressure). - MPTCP: support TCP_FASTOPEN_CONNECT. - Add NEXT-C-SID support in Segment Routing (SRv6) End behavior. - Adjust IP_UNICAST_IF sockopt behavior for connected UDP sockets. - Open vSwitch: - Allow specifying ifindex of new interfaces. - Allow conntrack and metering in non-initial user namespace. - TLS: support the Korean ARIA-GCM crypto algorithm. - Remove DECnet support. Driver API: - Allow selecting the conduit interface used by each port in DSA switches, at runtime. - Ethernet Power Sourcing Equipment and Power Device support. - Add tc-taprio support for queueMaxSDU parameter, i.e. setting per traffic class max frame size for time-based packet schedules. - Support PHY rate matching - adapting between differing host-side and link-side speeds. - Introduce QUSGMII PHY mode and 1000BASE-KX interface mode. - Validate OF (device tree) nodes for DSA shared ports; make phylink-related properties mandatory on DSA and CPU ports. Enforcing more uniformity should allow transitioning to phylink. - Require that flash component name used during update matches one of the components for which version is reported by info_get(). - Remove "weight" argument from driver-facing NAPI API as much as possible. It's one of those magic knobs which seemed like a good idea at the time but is too indirect to use in practice. - Support offload of TLS connections with 256 bit keys.
