kallsyms: Make module_kallsyms_on_each_symbol generally available

2022-12-21T16:41:11+00:00

commit 73feb8d5fa3b755bb51077c0aabfb6aa556fd498 upstream. Making module_kallsyms_on_each_symbol generally available, so it can be used outside CONFIG_LIVEPATCH option in following changes. Rather than adding another ifdef option let's make the function generally available (when CONFIG_KALLSYMS and CONFIG_MODULES options are defined).

kunit: flatten kunit_suite* to kunit_suite in .kunit_test_suites

2022-07-11T23:13:15+00:00

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

2022-07-11T23:13:09+00:00

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.h: simplify MODULE_IMPORT_NS

2022-05-12T17:29:41+00:00

In commit ca321ec74322 ("module.h: allow #define strings to work with MODULE_IMPORT_NS") I fixed up the MODULE_IMPORT_NS() macro to allow defined strings to work with it. Unfortunatly I did it in a two-stage process, when it could just be done with the __stringify() macro as pointed out by Masahiro Yamada. Clean this up to only be one macro instead of two steps to achieve the same end result.

module: Add CONFIG_ARCH_WANTS_MODULES_DATA_IN_VMALLOC

2022-04-05T15:43:05+00:00

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.

module: Move extra signature support out of core code

module: Move livepatch support to a separate file

2022-04-05T15:43:04+00:00

No functional change. This patch migrates livepatch support (i.e. used during module add/or load and remove/or deletion) from core module code into kernel/module/livepatch.c. At the moment it contains code to persist Elf information about a given livepatch module, only. The new file was added to MAINTAINERS.

Merge branch 'modules-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/linux

2022-01-17T05:32:51+00:00

Pull module updates from Luis Chamberlain: "The biggest change here is in-kernel support for module decompression. 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

exit: Rename module_put_and_exit to module_put_and_kthread_exit

2021-12-13T18:04:45+00:00

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. Biederman"
