livepatch: Keep replaced patches until post_patch callback is called

2019-11-01T12:08:08+00:00

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.

livepatch: Remove duplicate warning about missing reliable stacktrace support

2019-06-20T14:19:13+00:00

WARN_ON_ONCE() could not be called safely under rq lock because
of console deadlock issues. Moreover WARN_ON_ONCE() is superfluous in
klp_check_stack(), because stack_trace_save_tsk_reliable() cannot return
-ENOSYS thanks to klp_have_reliable_stack() check in
klp_try_switch_task().

Revert "livepatch: Remove reliable stacktrace check in klp_try_switch_task()"

2019-06-20T14:08:41+00:00

This reverts commit 1d98a69e5cef3aeb68bcefab0e67e342d6bb4dad. Commit
31adf2308f33 ("livepatch: Convert error about unsupported reliable
stacktrace into a warning") weakened the enforcement for architectures
to have reliable stack traces support. The system only warns now about
it.

It only makes sense to reintroduce the compile time checking in
klp_try_switch_task() again and bail out early.

livepatch: Use static buffer for debugging messages under rq lock

2019-06-05T14:35:47+00:00

The err_buf array uses 128 bytes of stack space.  Move it off the stack
by making it static.  It's safe to use a shared buffer because
klp_try_switch_task() is called under klp_mutex.

Merge branch 'for-5.1/atomic-replace' into for-linus

2019-03-05T14:56:59+00:00

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.

livepatch: Introduce klp_for_each_patch macro

2019-02-06T09:49:30+00:00

There are already macros to iterate over struct klp_func and klp_object.

Add also klp_for_each_patch(). But make it internal because also
klp_patches list is internal.
