Now that the livepatch code no longer needs the text_mutex for changing
module permissions, move its usage down to apply_relocate_add().
Note the s390 version of apply_relocate_add() doesn't need to use the
text_mutex because it already uses s390_kernel_write_lock, which
accomplishes the same task.

using text_poke(), livepatch no longer needs to use module_disable_ro().

vmlinux symbols
Prevent module-specific KLP rela sections from referencing vmlinux
symbols. This helps prevent ordering issues with module special section
initializations. Presumably such symbols are exported and normal relas
can be used instead.

After the previous patch, vmlinux-specific KLP relocations are now
applied early during KLP module load. This means that .klp.arch
sections are no longer needed for *vmlinux-specific* KLP relocations.
One might think they're still needed for *module-specific* KLP
relocations. If a to-be-patched module is loaded *after* its
corresponding KLP module is loaded, any corresponding KLP relocations
will be delayed until the to-be-patched module is loaded. If any
special sections (.parainstructions, for example) rely on those
relocations, their initializations (apply_paravirt) need to be done
afterwards. Thus the apparent need for arch_klp_init_object_loaded()
and its corresponding .klp.arch sections -- it allows some of the
special section initializations to be done at a later time.
But... if you look closer, that dependency between the special sections
and the module-specific KLP relocations doesn't actually exist in
reality. Looking at the contents of the .altinstructions and
.parainstructions sections, there's not a realistic scenario in which a
KLP module's .altinstructions or .parainstructions section needs to
access a symbol in a to-be-patched module. It might need to access a
local symbol or even a vmlinux symbol; but not another module's symbol.
When a special section needs to reference a local or vmlinux symbol, a
normal rela can be used instead of a KLP rela.
Since the special section initializations don't actually have any real
dependency on module-specific KLP relocations, .klp.arch and
arch_klp_init_object_loaded() no longer have a reason to exist. So
remove them.
As Peter said much more succinctly:
So the reason for .klp.arch was that .klp.rela.* stuff would overwrite
paravirt instructions. If that happens you're doing it wrong. Those
RELAs are core kernel, not module, and thus should've happened in
.rela.* sections at patch-module loading time.
Reverting this removes the two apply_{paravirt,alternatives}() calls
from the late patching path, and means we don't have to worry about
them when removing module_disable_ro().

KLP relocations are livepatch-specific relocations which are applied to
a KLP module's text or data. They exist for two reasons:
1) Unexported symbols: replacement functions often need to access
unexported symbols (e.g. static functions), which "normal"
relocations don't allow.
2) Late module patching: this is the ability for a KLP module to
bypass normal module dependencies, such that the KLP module can be
loaded *before* a to-be-patched module. This means that
relocations which need to access symbols in the to-be-patched
module might need to be applied to the KLP module well after it has
been loaded.
Non-late-patched KLP relocations are applied from the KLP module's init
function. That usually works fine, unless the patched code wants to use
alternatives, paravirt patching, jump tables, or some other special
section which needs relocations. Then we run into ordering issues and
crashes.
In order for those special sections to work properly, the KLP
relocations should be applied *before* the special section init code
runs, such as apply_paravirt(), apply_alternatives(), or
jump_label_apply_nops().
You might think the obvious solution would be to move the KLP relocation
initialization earlier, but it's not necessarily that simple. The
problem is the above-mentioned late module patching, for which KLP
relocations can get applied well after the KLP module is loaded.
To "fix" this issue in the past, we created .klp.arch sections:
.klp.arch.{module}..altinstructions
.klp.arch.{module}..parainstructions
Those sections allow KLP late module patching code to call
apply_paravirt() and apply_alternatives() after the module-specific KLP
relocations (.klp.rela.{module}.{section}) have been applied.
But that has a lot of drawbacks, including code complexity, the need for
arch-specific code, and the (per-arch) danger that we missed some
special section -- for example the __jump_table section which is used
for jump labels.
It turns out there's a simpler and more functional approach. There are
two kinds of KLP relocation sections:
1) vmlinux-specific KLP relocation sections
.klp.rela.vmlinux.{sec}
These are relocations (applied to the KLP module) which reference
unexported vmlinux symbols.
2) module-specific KLP relocation sections
.klp.rela.{module}.{sec}:
These are relocations (applied to the KLP module) which reference
unexported or exported module symbols.
Up until now, these have been treated the same. However, they're
inherently different.
Because of late module patching, module-specific KLP relocations can be
applied very late, thus they can create the ordering headaches described
above.
But vmlinux-specific KLP relocations don't have that problem. There's
nothing to prevent them from being applied earlier. So apply them at
the same time as normal relocations, when the KLP module is being
loaded.
This means that for vmlinux-specific KLP relocations, we no longer have
any ordering issues. vmlinux-referencing jump labels, alternatives, and
paravirt patching will work automatically, without the need for the
.klp.arch hacks.
All that said, for module-specific KLP relocations, the ordering
problems still exist and we *do* still need .klp.arch. Or do we? Stay
tuned.

This is purely a theoretical issue, but if there were a module named
vmlinux.ko, the livepatch relocation code wouldn't be able to
distinguish between vmlinux-specific and vmlinux.o-specific KLP
relocations.
If CONFIG_LIVEPATCH is enabled, don't allow a module named vmlinux.ko.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace
Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"New tracing features:
- New PERMANENT flag to ftrace_ops when attaching a callback to a
function.
As /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled when set to zero will disable
all attached callbacks in ftrace, this has a detrimental impact on
live kernel tracing, as it disables all that it patched. If a
ftrace_ops is registered to ftrace with the PERMANENT flag set, it
will prevent ftrace_enabled from being disabled, and if
ftrace_enabled is already disabled, it will prevent a ftrace_ops
with PREMANENT flag set from being registered.
- New register_ftrace_direct().
As eBPF would like to register its own trampolines to be called by
the ftrace nop locations directly, without going through the ftrace
trampoline, this function has been added. This allows for eBPF
trampolines to live along side of ftrace, perf, kprobe and live
patching. It also utilizes the ftrace enabled_functions file that
keeps track of functions that have been modified in the kernel, to
allow for security auditing.
- Allow for kernel internal use of ftrace instances.
Subsystems in the kernel can now create and destroy their own
tracing instances which allows them to have their own tracing
buffer, and be able to record events without worrying about other
users from writing over their data.
- New seq_buf_hex_dump() that lets users use the hex_dump() in their
seq_buf usage.
- Notifications now added to tracing_max_latency to allow user space
to know when a new max latency is hit by one of the latency
tracers.
- Wider spread use of generic compare operations for use of bsearch
and friends.
- More synthetic event fields may be defined (32 up from 16)
- Use of xarray for architectures with sparse system calls, for the
system call trace events.
This along with small clean ups and fixes"

Livepatch uses ftrace for redirection to new patched functions. It means
that if ftrace is disabled, all live patched functions are disabled as
well. Toggling global 'ftrace_enabled' sysctl thus affect it directly.
It is not a problem per se, because only administrator can set sysctl
values, but it still may be surprising.
Introduce PERMANENT ftrace_ops flag to amend this. If the
FTRACE_OPS_FL_PERMANENT is set on any ftrace ops, the tracing cannot be
disabled by disabling ftrace_enabled. Equally, a callback with the flag
set cannot be registered if ftrace_enabled is disabled.

The atomic replace runs pre/post (un)install callbacks only from the new
livepatch. There are several reasons for this:
+ Simplicity: clear ordering of operations, no interactions between
old and new callbacks.
+ Reliability: only new livepatch knows what changes can already be made
by older livepatches and how to take over the state.
+ Testing: the atomic replace can be properly tested only when a newer
livepatch is available. It might be too late to fix unwanted effect
of callbacks from older livepatches.
It might happen that an older change is not enough and the same system
state has to be modified another way. Different changes need to get
distinguished by a version number added to struct klp_state.
The version can also be used to prevent loading incompatible livepatches.
The check is done when the livepatch is enabled. The rules are:
+ Any completely new system state modification is allowed.
+ System state modifications with the same or higher version are allowed
for already modified system states.
+ Cumulative livepatches must handle all system state modifications from
already installed livepatches.
+ Non-cumulative livepatches are allowed to touch already modified
system states.

This is another step how to help maintaining more livepatches.
One big help was the atomic replace and cumulative livepatches. These
livepatches replace the already installed ones. Therefore it should
be enough when each cumulative livepatch is consistent.
The problems might come with shadow variables and callbacks. They might
change the system behavior or state so that it is no longer safe to
go back and use an older livepatch or the original kernel code. Also,
a new livepatch must be able to detect changes which were made by
the already installed livepatches.
This is where the livepatch system state tracking gets useful. It
allows to:
- find whether a system state has already been modified by
previous livepatches
- store data needed to manipulate and restore the system state
The information about the manipulated system states is stored in an
array of struct klp_state. It can be searched by two new functions
klp_get_state() and klp_get_prev_state().
The dependencies are going to be solved by a version field added later.
The only important information is that it will be allowed to modify
the same state by more non-cumulative livepatches. It is similar
to allowing to modify the same function several times. The livepatch
author is responsible for preventing incompatible changes.

Pre/post (un)patch callbacks might manipulate the system state. Cumulative
livepatches might need to take over the changes made by the replaced
ones. For this they might need to access some data stored or referenced
by the old livepatches.
Therefore the replaced livepatches have to stay around until post_patch()
callback is called. It is achieved by calling the free functions later.
It is the same location where disabled livepatches have already been
freed.

klp_module_coming() is called for every module appearing in the system.
It sets obj->mod to a patched module for klp_object obj. Unfortunately
it leaves it set even if an error happens later in the function and the
patched module is not allowed to be loaded.
klp_is_object_loaded() uses obj->mod variable and could currently give a
wrong return value. The bug is probably harmless as of now.

The only purpose of klp_check_compiler_support() is to make sure that we
are not using ftrace on x86 via mcount (because that's executed only after
prologue has already happened, and that's too late for livepatching
purposes).
Now that mcount is not supported by ftrace any more, there is no need for
klp_check_compiler_support() either.

kobject_init() always succeeds and sets the reference count to 1.
It allows to always free the structures via kobject_put() and
the related release callback.
Note that the custom kobject state handling was used only
because we did not know that kobject_put() can and actually
should get called even when kobject_init_and_add() fails.

The commit d0807da78e11d46f ("livepatch: Remove immediate feature") caused
that any livepatch was refused when reliable stacktraces were not supported
on the given architecture.
The limitation is too strong. User space processes are safely migrated
even when entering or leaving the kernel. Kthreads transition would
need to get forced. But it is safe when:
+ The livepatch does not change the semantic of the code.
+ Callbacks do not depend on a safely finished transition.

The kobj_type default_attrs field is being replaced by the
default_groups field. Replace klp_ktype_patch's default_attrs field
with default_groups and use the ATTRIBUTE_GROUPS macro to create
klp_patch_groups.
This patch was tested by loading the livepatch-sample module and
verifying that the sysfs files for the attributes in the default groups
were created.

The atomic replace allows to create cumulative patches. They are useful when
you maintain many livepatches and want to remove one that is lower on the
stack. In addition it is very useful when more patches touch the same function
and there are dependencies between them.
It's also a feature some of the distros are using already to distribute
their patches.

the patch in transition.

An administrator may send a fake signal to all remaining blocking tasks
of a running transition by writing to
/sys/kernel/livepatch/<patch>/signal attribute. Let's do it
automatically after 15 seconds. The timeout is chosen deliberately. It
gives the tasks enough time to transition themselves.
Theoretically, sending it once should be more than enough. However,
every task must get outside of a patched function to be successfully
transitioned. It could prove not to be simple and resending could be
helpful in that case.
A new workqueue job could be a cleaner solution to achieve it, but it
could also introduce deadlocks and cause more headaches with
synchronization and cancelling.

The atomic replace and cumulative patches were introduced as a more secure
way to handle dependent patches. They simplify the logic:
+ Any new cumulative patch is supposed to take over shadow variables
and changes made by callbacks from previous livepatches.
+ All replaced patches are discarded and the modules can be unloaded.
As a result, there is only one scenario when a cumulative livepatch
gets disabled.
The different handling of "normal" and cumulative patches might cause
confusion. It would make sense to keep only one mode. On the other hand,
it would be rude to enforce using the cumulative livepatches even for
trivial and independent (hot) fixes.
However, the stack of patches is not really necessary any longer.
The patch ordering was never clearly visible via the sysfs interface.
Also the "normal" patches need a lot of caution anyway.
Note that the list of enabled patches is still necessary but the ordering
is not longer enforced.
Otherwise, the code is ready to disable livepatches in an random order.
Namely, klp_check_stack_func() always looks for the function from
the livepatch that is being disabled. klp_func structures are just
removed from the related func_stack. Finally, the ftrace handlers
is removed only when the func_stack becomes empty.

Replaced patches are removed from the stack when the transition is
finished. It means that Nop structures will never be needed again
and can be removed. Why should we care?
+ Nop structures give the impression that the function is patched
even though the ftrace handler has no effect.
+ Ftrace handlers do not come for free. They cause slowdown that might
be visible in some workloads. The ftrace-related slowdown might
actually be the reason why the function is no longer patched in
the new cumulative patch. One would expect that cumulative patch
would help solve these problems as well.
+ Cumulative patches are supposed to replace any earlier version of
the patch. The amount of NOPs depends on which version was replaced.
This multiplies the amount of scenarios that might happen.
One might say that NOPs are innocent. But there are even optimized
NOP instructions for different processors, for example, see
arch/x86/kernel/alternative.c. And klp_ftrace_handler() is much
more complicated.
+ It sounds natural to clean up a mess that is no longer needed.
It could only be worse if we do not do it.
This patch allows to unpatch and free the dynamic structures independently
when the transition finishes.
The free part is a bit tricky because kobject free callbacks are called
asynchronously. We could not wait for them easily. Fortunately, we do
not have to. Any further access can be avoided by removing them from
the dynamic lists.

Sometimes we would like to revert a particular fix. Currently, this
is not easy because we want to keep all other fixes active and we
could revert only the last applied patch.
One solution would be to apply new patch that implemented all
the reverted functions like in the original code. It would work
as expected but there will be unnecessary redirections. In addition,
it would also require knowing which functions need to be reverted at
build time.
Another problem is when there are many patches that touch the same
functions. There might be dependencies between patches that are
not enforced on the kernel side. Also it might be pretty hard to
actually prepare the patch and ensure compatibility with the other
patches.
Atomic replace && cumulative patches:
A better solution would be to create cumulative patch and say that
it replaces all older ones.
This patch adds a new "replace" flag to struct klp_patch. When it is
enabled, a set of 'nop' klp_func will be dynamically created for all
functions that are already being patched but that will no longer be
modified by the new patch. They are used as a new target during
the patch transition.
The idea is to handle Nops' structures like the static ones. When
the dynamic structures are allocated, we initialize all values that
are normally statically defined.
The only exception is "new_func" in struct klp_func. It has to point
to the original function and the address is known only when the object
(module) is loaded. Note that we really need to set it. The address is
used, for example, in klp_check_stack_func().
Nevertheless we still need to distinguish the dynamically allocated
structures in some operations. For this, we add "nop" flag into
struct klp_func and "dynamic" flag into struct klp_object. They
need special handling in the following situations:
+ The structures are added into the lists of objects and functions
immediately. In fact, the lists were created for this purpose.
+ The address of the original function is known only when the patched
object (module) is loaded. Therefore it is copied later in
klp_init_object_loaded().
+ The ftrace handler must not set PC to func->new_func. It would cause
infinite loop because the address points back to the beginning of
the original function.
+ The various free() functions must free the structure itself.
Note that other ways to detect the dynamic structures are not considered
safe. For example, even the statically defined struct klp_object might
include empty funcs array. It might be there just to run some callbacks.
Also note that the safe iterator must be used in the free() functions.
Otherwise already freed structures might get accessed.
Special callbacks handling:
The callbacks from the replaced patches are _not_ called by intention.
It would be pretty hard to define a reasonable semantic and implement it.
It might even be counter-productive. The new patch is cumulative. It is
supposed to include most of the changes from older patches. In most cases,
it will not want to call pre_unpatch() post_unpatch() callbacks from
the replaced patches. It would disable/break things for no good reasons.
Also it should be easier to handle various scenarios in a single script
in the new patch than think about interactions caused by running many
scripts from older patches. Not to say that the old scripts even would
not expect to be called in this situation.
Removing replaced patches:
One nice effect of the cumulative patches is that the code from the
older patches is no longer used. Therefore the replaced patches can
be removed. It has several advantages:
+ Nops' structs will no longer be necessary and might be removed.
This would save memory, restore performance (no ftrace handler),
allow clear view on what is really patched.
+ Disabling the patch will cause using the original code everywhere.
Therefore the livepatch callbacks could handle only one scenario.
Note that the complication is already complex enough when the patch
gets enabled. It is currently solved by calling callbacks only from
the new cumulative patch.
+ The state is clean in both the sysfs interface and lsmod. The modules
with the replaced livepatches might even get removed from the system.
Some people actually expected this behavior from the beginning. After all
a cumulative patch is supposed to "completely" replace an existing one.
It is like when a new version of an application replaces an older one.
This patch does the first step. It removes the replaced patches from
the list of patches. It is safe. The consistency model ensures that
they are no longer used. By other words, each process works only with
the structures from klp_transition_patch.
The removal is done by a special function. It combines actions done by
__disable_patch() and klp_complete_transition(). But it is a fast
track without all the transaction-related stuff.
