dynamic_debug: add static inline stub for ddebug_add_module

2019-03-08T02:32:00+00:00

For symmetry with ddebug_remove_module, and to avoid a bit of ifdeffery
in module.c, move the declaration of ddebug_add_module inside #if
defined(CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG) and add a corresponding no-op stub in the
#else branch.

dynamic_debug: move pr_err from module.c to ddebug_add_module

2019-03-08T02:32:00+00:00

This serves two purposes: First, we get a diagnostic if (though
extremely unlikely), any of the calls of ddebug_add_module for built-in
code fails, effectively disabling dynamic_debug.  Second, I want to make
struct _ddebug opaque, and avoid accessing any of its members outside
dynamic_debug.[ch].

jump_label: move 'asm goto' support test to Kconfig

2019-01-06T00:46:51+00:00

Currently, CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL just means "I _want_ to use jump label".

The jump label is controlled by HAVE_JUMP_LABEL, which is defined
like this:

  #if defined(CC_HAVE_ASM_GOTO) && defined(CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL)
  # define HAVE_JUMP_LABEL
  #endif

We can improve this by testing 'asm goto' support in Kconfig, then
make JUMP_LABEL depend on CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO.

Ugly #ifdef HAVE_JUMP_LABEL will go away, and CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL will
match to the real kernel capability.

bpf: support raw tracepoints in modules

drivers which export numerous tracepoints.  This enables

ARM: module: Fix function kallsyms on Thumb-2

2018-12-14T19:27:29+00:00

Thumb-2 functions have the lowest bit set in the symbol value in the
symtab.  When kallsyms are generated for the vmlinux, the kallsyms are
generated from the output of nm, and nm clears the lowest bit.

 $ arm-linux-gnueabihf-readelf -a vmlinux | grep show_interrupts
  95947: 8015dc89   686 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT    2 show_interrupts
 $ arm-linux-gnueabihf-nm vmlinux | grep show_interrupts
 8015dc88 T show_interrupts
 $ cat /proc/kallsyms | grep show_interrupts
 8015dc88 T show_interrupts

However, for modules, the kallsyms uses the values in the symbol table
without modification, so for functions in modules, the lowest bit is set
in kallsyms.

 $ arm-linux-gnueabihf-readelf -a drivers/net/tun.ko | grep tun_get_socket
    333: 00002d4d    36 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT    1 tun_get_socket
 $ arm-linux-gnueabihf-nm drivers/net/tun.ko | grep tun_get_socket
 00002d4c T tun_get_socket
 $ cat /proc/kallsyms | grep tun_get_socket
 7f802d4d t tun_get_socket      [tun]

Because of this, the symbol+offset of the crashing instruction shown in
oopses is incorrect when the crash is in a module.  For example, given a
tun_get_socket which starts like this,

 00002d4c :
     2d4c:       6943            ldr     r3, [r0, #20]
     2d4e:       4a07            ldr     r2, [pc, #28]
     2d50:       4293            cmp     r3, r2

a crash when tun_get_socket is called with NULL results in:

 PC is at tun_xdp+0xa3/0xa4 [tun]
 pc : [<7f802d4c>]

As can be seen, the "PC is at" line reports the wrong symbol name, and
the symbol+offset will point to the wrong source line if it is passed to
gdb.

To solve this, add a way for archs to fixup the reading of these module
kallsyms values, and use that to clear the lowest bit for function
symbols on Thumb-2.

After the fix:

 # cat /proc/kallsyms | grep tun_get_socket
 7f802d4c t tun_get_socket       [tun]

 PC is at tun_get_socket+0x0/0x24 [tun]
 pc : [<7f802d4c>]

module: Overwrite st_size instead of st_info

2018-12-14T19:27:21+00:00

st_info is currently overwritten after relocation and used to store the
elf_type().  However, we're going to need it fix kallsyms on ARM's
Thumb-2 kernels, so preserve st_info and overwrite the st_size field
instead.  st_size is neither used by the module core nor by any
architecture.

kobject: return error code if writing /sys/.../uevent fails

2018-12-06T15:07:43+00:00

Propagate error code back to userspace if writing the /sys/.../uevent
file fails. Before, the write operation always returned with success,
even if we failed to recognize the input string or if we failed to
generate the uevent itself.

With the error codes properly propagated back to userspace, we are
able to react in userspace accordingly by not assuming and awaiting
a uevent that is not delivered.
