The modules are being moved from lib/livepatch to
tools/testing/selftests/livepatch/test_modules.
This code moving will allow writing more complex tests, like for example an
userspace C code that will call a livepatched kernel function.
The modules are now built as out-of-tree
modules, but being part of the kernel source means they will be maintained.
Another advantage of the code moving is to be able to easily change,
debug and rebuild the tests by running make on the selftests/livepatch
directory, which is not currently possible since the modules on
lib/livepatch are build and installed using the "modules" target.
The current approach also keeps the ability to execute the tests manually
by executing the scripts inside selftests/livepatch directory, as it's
currently supported. If the modules are modified, they needed to be
rebuilt before running the scripts though.
The modules are built before running the selftests when using the
kselftest invocations:
make kselftest TARGETS=livepatch
or
make -C tools/testing/selftests/livepatch run_tests
Having the modules being built as out-of-modules requires changing the
currently used 'modprobe' by 'insmod' and adapt the test scripts that
check for the kernel message buffer.
Now it is possible to only compile the modules by running:
make -C tools/testing/selftests/livepatch/
This way the test modules and other test program can be built in order
to be packaged if so desired.
As there aren't any modules being built on lib/livepatch, remove the
TEST_LIVEPATCH Kconfig and it's references.
Note: "make gen_tar" packages the pre-built binaries into the tarball.
It means that it will store the test modules pre-built for
the kernel running on the build host.
Note that these modules need not binary compatible with
the kernel built from the same sources. But the same
is true for other packaged selftest binaries.
The entire kernel sources are needed for rebuilding
the selftests on another system.

The test_klp_callbacks_busy module conditionally blocks a future
livepatch transition by busy waiting inside its workqueue function,
busymod_work_func(). After scheduling this work, a test livepatch is
loaded, introducing the transition under test.
Both events are marked in the kernel log for later verification, but
there is no synchronization to ensure that busymod_work_func() logs its
function entry message before subsequent selftest commands log their own
messages. This can lead to a rare test failure due to unexpected
ordering like:
--- expected

Force the module init function to wait until busymod_work_func() has
started (and logged its message), before exiting to the next selftest
steps.

ccflags-remove-$(CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER) += $(CC_FLAGS_FTRACE)
exists here in sub-directories of lib/ to keep the behavior of
commit 2464a609ded0 ("ftrace: do not trace library functions").
Since that commit, not only the objects in lib/ but also the ones in
the sub-directories are excluded from ftrace (although the commit
description did not explicitly mention this).
However, most of library functions in sub-directories are not so hot.
Re-add them to ftrace.
Going forward, only the objects right under lib/ will be excluded.

CFLAGS_REMOVE_<file>.o filters out flags when compiling a particular
object, but there is no convenient way to do that for every object in
a directory.
Add ccflags-remove-y and asflags-remove-y to make it easily.
Use ccflags-remove-y to clean up some Makefiles.
The add/remove order works as follows:
[1] KBUILD_CFLAGS specifies compiler flags used globally
[2] ccflags-y adds compiler flags for all objects in the
current Makefile
[3] ccflags-remove-y removes compiler flags for all objects in the
current Makefile (New feature)
[4] CFLAGS_<file> adds compiler flags per file.
[5] CFLAGS_REMOVE_<file> removes compiler flags per file.
Having [3] before [4] allows us to remove flags from most (but not all)
objects in the current Makefile.
For example, kernel/trace/Makefile removes $(CC_FLAGS_FTRACE)
from all objects in the directory, then adds it back to
trace_selftest_dynamic.o and CFLAGS_trace_kprobe_selftest.o
The same applies to lib/livepatch/Makefile.
Please note ccflags-remove-y has no effect to the sub-directories.
In contrast, the previous notation got rid of compiler flags also from
all the sub-directories.
The following are not affected because they have no sub-directories:
arch/arm/boot/compressed/
arch/powerpc/xmon/
arch/sh/
kernel/trace/
However, lib/ has several sub-directories.
To keep the behavior, I added ccflags-remove-y to all Makefiles
in subdirectories of lib/, except the following:
lib/vdso/Makefile - Kbuild does not descend into this Makefile
lib/raid/test/Makefile - This is not used for the kernel build
I think commit 2464a609ded0 ("ftrace: do not trace library functions")
excluded too much. In the next commit, I will remove ccflags-remove-y
from the sub-directories of lib/.

In some cases, when an error occurs during testing and the main test
routine returns, a memory leak occurs via leaving previously registered
shadow variables allocated in the kernel as well as shadow_ptr list
elements. From now on, in case of error, remove all allocated shadow
variables and shadow_ptr struct elements.

This change makes the test feel more familiar with narrowing to a
typical usage by operating on a number of identical structure instances
and populating the same two new shadow variables symmetrically while
keeping the same testing and verification criteria for the extra
variables.

The initial idea was to make a change to please cppcheck and remove void
pointer arithmetics found a few times:
portability: 'obj' is of type 'void *'. When using void pointers
in calculations, the behaviour is undefined.
[arithOperationsOnVoidPointer]
The rest of the changes are to help make the test read as an example
while continuing to verify the shadow variable code. The logic of the
test is unchanged but restructured to use descriptive names.

The test-klp-callbacks script includes a few tests which rely on kernel
task timings that may not always execute as expected under system load.
These may generate out of sequence kernel log messages that result in
test failure.
Instead of using sleep timing windows to orchestrate these tests, add a
block_transition module parameter to communicate the test purpose and
utilize flush_queue() to serialize the test module's task output.

The commit e91c2518a5d22a ("livepatch: Initialize shadow variables
safely by a custom callback") leads to the following static checker
warning:
samples/livepatch/livepatch-shadow-fix1.c:86 livepatch_fix1_dummy_alloc()
error: 'klp_shadow_alloc()' 'leak' too small (4 vs 8)
It is because klp_shadow_alloc() is used a wrong way:
int *leak;
shadow_leak = klp_shadow_alloc(d, SV_LEAK, sizeof(leak), GFP_KERNEL,
shadow_leak_ctor, leak);
The code is supposed to store the "leak" pointer into the shadow variable.
3rd parameter correctly passes size of the data (size of pointer). But
the 5th parameter is wrong. It should pass pointer to the data (pointer
to the pointer) but it passes the pointer directly.
It works because shadow_leak_ctor() handle "ctor_data" as the data
instead of pointer to the data. But it is semantically wrong and
confusing.
The same problem is also in the module used by selftests. In this case,
"pvX" variables are introduced. They represent the data stored in
the shadow variables.

The shadow variable selftest is quite tricky. Especially it is problematic
to understand what values are stored, returned, and printed.
Make it easier to understand by using "int *var, **sv" variables
consistently everywhere instead of the generic "void *", "ret",
and "ctor_data".

Add proper error handling when allocating or getting shadow variables
in the selftest. It prevents an invalid pointer access in some situations.
It shows the good programming practice in the others.
The error codes are just the best guess and specific for this particular
test. In general, klp_shadow_alloc() returns NULL also when the given
shadow variable has already been allocated. In addition, both
klp_shadow_alloc() and klp_shadow_get_or_alloc() might fail from
other reasons when the constructor fails.
Note, that the error code is not really important even in the real life.
The use of shadow variables should be transparent for the original
livepatched code.
