asm-generic: Refactor dereference_[kernel]_function_descriptor()

2022-02-16T12:25:11+00:00

dereference_function_descriptor() and
dereference_kernel_function_descriptor() are identical on the
three architectures implementing them.

Make them common and put them out-of-line in kernel/extable.c
which is one of the users and has similar type of functions.

asm-generic: Define 'func_desc_t' to commonly describe function descriptors

2022-02-16T12:25:11+00:00

We have three architectures using function descriptors, each with its
own type and name.

Add a common typedef that can be used in generic code.

Also add a stub typedef for architecture without function descriptors,
to avoid a forest of #ifdefs.

It replaces the similar 'func_desc_t' previously defined in
arch/powerpc/kernel/module_64.c

asm-generic: Define CONFIG_HAVE_FUNCTION_DESCRIPTORS

2022-02-16T12:25:11+00:00

Replace HAVE_DEREFERENCE_FUNCTION_DESCRIPTOR by a config option
named CONFIG_HAVE_FUNCTION_DESCRIPTORS and use it instead of
'dereference_function_descriptor' macro to know whether an
arch has function descriptors.

To limit churn in one of the following patches, use
an #ifdef/#else construct with empty first part
instead of an #ifndef in asm-generic/sections.h

On powerpc, make sure the config option matches the ABI used
by the compiler with a BUILD_BUG_ON() and add missing _CALL_ELF=2
when calling 'sparse' so that sparse sees the same piece of
code as GCC.

And include a helper to check whether an arch has function
descriptors or not : have_function_descriptors()

sections: Fix __is_kernel() to include init ranges

2022-01-11T10:57:38+00:00

With CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL=y, the function is_ksym_addr() is used to
determine if a symbol is from inside the kernel range. For that the
given symbol address is checked if it's inside the _stext to _end range.

Although this is correct, some architectures (e.g. parisc) may have the
init area before the _stext address and as such the check in
is_ksym_addr() fails.  By extending the range check to include the init
section, __is_kernel() will now detect symbols in this range as well.

This fixes an issue on parisc where addresses of kernel functions in
init sections aren't resolved to their symbol names.

sections: global data can be in .bss

2021-11-22T14:53:45+00:00

When checking an address is located in a global data section also check
for the .bss section as global variables initialized to 0 can be in
there (-fzero-initialized-in-bss).

This was found when looking at ensure_safe_net_sysctl which was failing
to detect non-init sysctl pointing to a global data section when the
data was in the .bss section.

kallsyms: remove arch specific text and data check

2021-11-09T18:02:50+00:00

Patch series "sections: Unify kernel sections range check and use", v4.

There are three head files(kallsyms.h, kernel.h and sections.h) which
include the kernel sections range check, let's make some cleanup and unify
them.

1. cleanup arch specific text/data check and fix address boundary check
   in kallsyms.h

2. make all the basic/core kernel range check function into sections.h

3. update all the callers, and use the helper in sections.h to simplify
   the code

After this series, we have 5 APIs about kernel sections range check in
sections.h

 * is_kernel_rodata()		--- already in sections.h
 * is_kernel_core_data()	--- come from core_kernel_data() in kernel.h
 * is_kernel_inittext()		--- come from kernel.h and kallsyms.h
 * __is_kernel_text()		--- add new internal helper
 * __is_kernel()		--- add new internal helper

Note: For the last two helpers, people should not use directly, consider to
      use corresponding function in kallsyms.h.

This patch (of 11):

Remove arch specific text and data check after commit 4ba66a976072 ("arch:
remove blackfin port"), no need arch-specific text/data check.
