2014-10-15modules, lock around setting of MODULE_STATE_UNFORMEDPrarit Bhargava
A panic was seen in the following sitation. There are two threads running on the system. The first thread is a system monitoring thread that is reading /proc/modules. The second thread is loading and unloading a module (in this example I'm using my simple dummy-module.ko). Note, in the "real world" this occurred with the qlogic driver module. When doing this, the following panic occurred: ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at kernel/module.c:3739! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP Modules linked in: binfmt_misc sg nfsv3 rpcsec_gss_krb5 nfsv4 dns_resolver nfs fscache intel_powerclamp coretemp kvm_intel kvm crct10dif_pclmul crc32_pclmul crc32c_intel ghash_clmulni_intel aesni_intel lrw igb gf128mul glue_helper iTCO_wdt iTCO_vendor_support ablk_helper ptp sb_edac cryptd pps_core edac_core shpchp i2c_i801 pcspkr wmi lpc_ich ioatdma mfd_core dca ipmi_si nfsd ipmi_msghandler auth_rpcgss nfs_acl lockd sunrpc xfs libcrc32c sr_mod cdrom sd_mod crc_t10dif crct10dif_common mgag200 syscopyarea sysfillrect sysimgblt i2c_algo_bit drm_kms_helper ttm isci drm libsas ahci libahci scsi_transport_sas libata i2c_core dm_mirror dm_region_hash dm_log dm_mod [last unloaded: dummy_module] CPU: 37 PID: 186343 Comm: cat Tainted: GF O-------------- 3.10.0+ #7 Hardware name: Intel Corporation S2600CP/S2600CP, BIOS RMLSDP.86I.00.29.D696.1311111329 11/11/2013 task: ffff8807fd2d8000 ti: ffff88080fa7c000 task.ti: ffff88080fa7c000 RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff810d64c5>] [<ffffffff810d64c5>] module_flags+0xb5/0xc0 RSP: 0018:ffff88080fa7fe18 EFLAGS: 00010246 RAX: 0000000000000003 RBX: ffffffffa03b5200 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: 0000000000001000 RSI: ffff88080fa7fe38 RDI: ffffffffa03b5000 RBP: ffff88080fa7fe28 R08: 0000000000000010 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 000000000000000f R12: ffffffffa03b5000 R13: ffffffffa03b5008 R14: ffffffffa03b5200 R15: ffffffffa03b5000 FS: 00007f6ae57ef740(0000) GS:ffff88101e7a0000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 0000000000404f70 CR3: 0000000ffed48000 CR4: 00000000001407e0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Stack: ffffffffa03b5200 ffff8810101e4800 ffff88080fa7fe70 ffffffff810d666c ffff88081e807300 000000002e0f2fbf 0000000000000000 ffff88100f257b00 ffffffffa03b5008 ffff88080fa7ff48 ffff8810101e4800 ffff88080fa7fee0 Call Trace: [<ffffffff810d666c>] m_show+0x19c/0x1e0 [<ffffffff811e4d7e>] seq_read+0x16e/0x3b0 [<ffffffff812281ed>] proc_reg_read+0x3d/0x80 [<ffffffff811c0f2c>] vfs_read+0x9c/0x170 [<ffffffff811c1a58>] SyS_read+0x58/0xb0 [<ffffffff81605829>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Code: 48 63 c2 83 c2 01 c6 04 03 29 48 63 d2 eb d9 0f 1f 80 00 00 00 00 48 63 d2 c6 04 13 2d 41 8b 0c 24 8d 50 02 83 f9 01 75 b2 eb cb <0f> 0b 66 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 00 0f 1f 44 00 00 55 48 89 e5 41 RIP [<ffffffff810d64c5>] module_flags+0xb5/0xc0 RSP <ffff88080fa7fe18> Consider the two processes running on the system. CPU 0 (/proc/modules reader) CPU 1 (loading/unloading module) CPU 0 opens /proc/modules, and starts displaying data for each module by traversing the modules list via fs/seq_file.c:seq_open() and fs/seq_file.c:seq_read(). For each module in the modules list, seq_read does op->start() <-- this is a pointer to m_start() op->show() <- this is a pointer to m_show() op->stop() <-- this is a pointer to m_stop() The m_start(), m_show(), and m_stop() module functions are defined in kernel/module.c. The m_start() and m_stop() functions acquire and release the module_mutex respectively. ie) When reading /proc/modules, the module_mutex is acquired and released for each module. m_show() is called with the module_mutex held. It accesses the module struct data and attempts to write out module data. It is in this code path that the above BUG_ON() warning is encountered, specifically m_show() calls static char *module_flags(struct module *mod, char *buf) { int bx = 0; BUG_ON(mod->state == MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED); ... The other thread, CPU 1, in unloading the module calls the syscall delete_module() defined in kernel/module.c. The module_mutex is acquired for a short time, and then released. free_module() is called without the module_mutex. free_module() then sets mod->state = MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED, also without the module_mutex. Some additional code is called and then the module_mutex is reacquired to remove the module from the modules list: /* Now we can delete it from the lists */ mutex_lock(&module_mutex); stop_machine(__unlink_module, mod, NULL); mutex_unlock(&module_mutex); This is the sequence of events that leads to the panic. CPU 1 is removing dummy_module via delete_module(). It acquires the module_mutex, and then releases it. CPU 1 has NOT set dummy_module->state to MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED yet. CPU 0, which is reading the /proc/modules, acquires the module_mutex and acquires a pointer to the dummy_module which is still in the modules list. CPU 0 calls m_show for dummy_module. The check in m_show() for MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED passed for dummy_module even though it is being torn down. Meanwhile CPU 1, which has been continuing to remove dummy_module without holding the module_mutex, now calls free_module() and sets dummy_module->state to MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED. CPU 0 now calls module_flags() with dummy_module and ... static char *module_flags(struct module *mod, char *buf) { int bx = 0; BUG_ON(mod->state == MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED); and BOOM. Acquire and release the module_mutex lock around the setting of MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED in the teardown path, which should resolve the problem. Testing: In the unpatched kernel I can panic the system within 1 minute by doing while (true) do insmod dummy_module.ko; rmmod dummy_module.ko; done and while (true) do cat /proc/modules; done in separate terminals. In the patched kernel I was able to run just over one hour without seeing any issues. I also verified the output of panic via sysrq-c and the output of /proc/modules looks correct for all three states for the dummy_module. dummy_module 12661 0 - Unloading 0xffffffffa03a5000 (OE-) dummy_module 12661 0 - Live 0xffffffffa03bb000 (OE) dummy_module 14015 1 - Loading 0xffffffffa03a5000 (OE+) Signed-off-by: Prarit Bhargava <prarit@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: stable@kernel.org

2014-10-02aarch64: filter $x from kallsymsKyle McMartin
Similar to ARM, AArch64 is generating $x and $d syms... which isn't terribly helpful when looking at %pF output and the like. Filter those out in kallsyms, modpost and when looking at module symbols. Seems simplest since none of these check EM_ARM anyway, to just add it to the strchr used, rather than trying to make things overly complicated. initcall_debug improves: dmesg_before.txt: initcall $x+0x0/0x154 [sg] returned 0 after 26331 usecs dmesg_after.txt: initcall init_sg+0x0/0x154 [sg] returned 0 after 15461 usecs Signed-off-by: Kyle McMartin <kyle@redhat.com> Acked-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>

2014-07-27ARM: avoid ARM binutils leaking ELF local symbolsRussell King
Symbols starting with .L are ELF local symbols and should not appear in ELF symbol tables. However, unfortunately ARM binutils leaks the .LANCHOR symbols into the symbol table, which leads kallsyms to report these symbols rather than the real name. It is not very useful when %pf reports symbols against these leaked .LANCHOR symbols. Arrange for kallsyms to ignore these symbols using the same mechanism that is used for the ARM mapping symbols.

2014-07-03crypto: fips - only panic on bad/missing crypto mod signaturesJarod Wilson
Per further discussion with NIST, the requirements for FIPS state that we only need to panic the system on failed kernel module signature checks for crypto subsystem modules. This moves the fips-mode-only module signature check out of the generic module loading code, into the crypto subsystem, at points where we can catch both algorithm module loads and mode module loads. At the same time, make CONFIG_CRYPTO_FIPS dependent on CONFIG_MODULE_SIG, as this is entirely necessary for FIPS mode. v2: remove extraneous blank line, perform checks in static inline function, drop no longer necessary fips.h include.

2014-05-14module: set nx before marking module MODULE_STATE_COMING.Rusty Russell
We currently set RO & NX on modules very late: after we move them from MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED to MODULE_STATE_COMING, and after we call parse_args() (which can exec code in the module). Much better is to do it in complete_formation() and then call the notifier. This means that the notifiers will be called on a module which is already RO & NX, so that may cause problems (ftrace already changed so they're unaffected).

2014-04-28ftrace/module: Hardcode ftrace_module_init() call into load_module()Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)
A race exists between module loading and enabling of function tracer. CPU 1 CPU 2 ----- ----- load_module() module->state = MODULE_STATE_COMING register_ftrace_function() mutex_lock(&ftrace_lock); ftrace_startup() update_ftrace_function(); ftrace_arch_code_modify_prepare() set_all_module_text_rw(); <enables-ftrace> ftrace_arch_code_modify_post_process() set_all_module_text_ro(); [ here all module text is set to RO, including the module that is loading!! ] blocking_notifier_call_chain(MODULE_STATE_COMING); ftrace_init_module() [ tries to modify code, but it's RO, and fails! ftrace_bug() is called] When this race happens, ftrace_bug() will produces a nasty warning and all of the function tracing features will be disabled until reboot. The simple solution is to treate module load the same way the core kernel is treated at boot. To hardcode the ftrace function modification of converting calls to mcount into nops. This is done in init/main.c there's no reason it could not be done in load_module(). This gives a better control of the changes and doesn't tie the state of the module to its notifiers as much. Ftrace is special, it needs to be treated as such. The reason this would work, is that the ftrace_module_init() would be called while the module is in MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED, which is ignored by the set_all_module_text_ro() call.

2014-04-28param: hand arguments after -- straight to initRusty Russell
The kernel passes any args it doesn't need through to init, except it assumes anything containing '.' belongs to the kernel (for a module). This change means all users can clearly distinguish which arguments are for init. For example, the kernel uses debug ("dee-bug") to mean log everything to the console, where systemd uses the debug from the Scandinavian "day-boog" meaning "fail to boot". If a future versions uses argv[] instead of reading /proc/cmdline, this confusion will be avoided. eg: test 'FOO="this is --foo"' -- 'systemd.debug="true true true"' Gives: argv[0] = '/debug-init' argv[1] = 'test' argv[2] = 'systemd.debug=true true true' envp[0] = 'HOME=/' envp[1] = 'TERM=linux' envp[2] = 'FOO=this is --foo' Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2014-04-28module: remove warning about waiting module removal.Rusty Russell
We remove the waiting module removal in commit 3f2b9c9cdf38 (September 2013), but it turns out that modprobe in kmod (< version 16) was asking for waiting module removal. No one noticed since modprobe would check for 0 usage immediately before trying to remove the module, and the race is unlikely. However, it means that anyone running old (but not ancient) kmod versions is hitting the printk designed to see if anyone was running "rmmod -w". All reports so far have been false positives, so remove the warning.

The reason for this check, in the first place, is that a force-loaded module may have a struct module incompatible with the layout expected by the kernel, and can thus cause a kernel crash upon forced load of that module on a kernel with CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS=y. Tracepoints, however, specifically accept TAINT_OOT_MODULE and TAINT_CRAP, since those modules do not lead to the "very likely system crash" issue cited above for force-loaded modules. With kernels having CONFIG_MODULE_SIG=y (signed modules), a non-signed module is tainted re-using the TAINT_FORCED_MODULE taint flag. Unfortunately, this means that Tracepoints treat that module as a force-loaded module, and thus silently refuse to consider any tracepoint within this module. Since an unsigned module does not fit within the "very likely system crash" category of tainting, add a new TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE taint flag to specifically address this taint behavior, and accept those modules within Tracepoints. We use the letter 'X' as a taint flag character for a module being loaded that doesn't know how to sign its name (proposed by Steven Rostedt). Also add the missing 'O' entry to trace event show_module_flags() list for the sake of completeness.

Here is the workaround I made for having the kernel not reject modules built with -flto. The clean solution would be to get the compiler to not emit the symbol.

2013-09-03module: Fix mod->mkobj.kobj potentially freed too earlyLi Zhong
DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE helps to find the issue attached below. After some investigation, it seems the reason is: The mod->mkobj.kobj(ffffffffa01600d0 below) is freed together with mod itself in free_module(). However, its children still hold references to it, as the delay caused by DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE. So when the child(holders below) tries to decrease the reference count to its parent in kobject_del(), BUG happens as it tries to access already freed memory. This patch tries to fix it by waiting for the mod->mkobj.kobj to be really released in the module removing process (and some error code paths).

Fix symbol versioning on architectures with symbol prefixes. Although the build was free from warnings the actual modules still wouldn't load as the ____versions table contained unprefixed symbol names, which were being compared against the prefixed symbol names when checking the symbol versions. This is fixed by modifying modpost to add the symbol prefix to the ____versions table it outputs (Modules.symvers still contains unprefixed symbol names). The check_modstruct_version() function is also fixed as it checks the version of the unprefixed "module_layout" symbol which would no longer work.

We have CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX, which three archs define to the string "_". But Al Viro broke this in "consolidate cond_syscall and SYSCALL_ALIAS declarations" (in linux-next), and he's not the first to do so. Using CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is awkward, since we usually just want to prefix it so something. So various places define helpers which are defined to nothing if CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX isn't set: 1) include/asm-generic/unistd.h defines __SYMBOL_PREFIX. 2) include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h defines VMLINUX_SYMBOL(sym) 3) include/linux/export.h defines MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX. 4) include/linux/kernel.h defines SYMBOL_PREFIX (which differs from #7) 5) kernel/modsign_certificate.S defines ASM_SYMBOL(sym) 6) scripts/modpost.c defines MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX 7) scripts/Makefile.lib defines SYMBOL_PREFIX on the commandline if CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is set, so that we have a non-string version for pasting. (arch/h8300/include/asm/linkage.h defines SYMBOL_NAME(), too). Let's solve this properly: 1) No more generic prefix, just CONFIG_HAVE_UNDERSCORE_SYMBOL_PREFIX. 2) Make linux/export.h usable from asm. 3) Define VMLINUX_SYMBOL() and VMLINUX_SYMBOL_STR(). 4) Make everyone use them.

2013-01-20module: fix missing module_mutex unlockLinus Torvalds
Commit 1fb9341ac348 ("module: put modules in list much earlier") moved some of the module initialization code around, and in the process changed the exit paths too. But for the duplicate export symbol error case the change made the ddebug_cleanup path jump to after the module mutex unlock, even though it happens with the mutex held. Rusty has some patches to split this function up into some helper functions, hopefully the mess of complex goto targets will go away eventually.
