From 425595a7fc2096ab46c741b5ed5372c5ab5bbeac Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jessica Yu Date: Tue, 22 Mar 2016 20:03:18 -0400 Subject: livepatch: reuse module loader code to write relocations Reuse module loader code to write relocations, thereby eliminating the need for architecture specific relocation code in livepatch. Specifically, reuse the apply_relocate_add() function in the module loader to write relocations instead of duplicating functionality in livepatch's arch-dependent klp_write_module_reloc() function. In order to accomplish this, livepatch modules manage their own relocation sections (marked with the SHF_RELA_LIVEPATCH section flag) and livepatch-specific symbols (marked with SHN_LIVEPATCH symbol section index). To apply livepatch relocation sections, livepatch symbols referenced by relocs are resolved and then apply_relocate_add() is called to apply those relocations. In addition, remove x86 livepatch relocation code and the s390 klp_write_module_reloc() function stub. They are no longer needed since relocation work has been offloaded to module loader. Lastly, mark the module as a livepatch module so that the module loader canappropriately identify and initialize it.

This is somewhat fragile because one can easily forget about funcs definition during livepatch creation. In such a case the livepatch module is successfully loaded and all objects after the incorrect one are omitted. This is very confusing. Let's make the helper more robust and check also for the other external member, name. Thus the helper correctly stops on an empty item of the array. We need to have a check for obj->funcs in klp_init_object() to make it work. The same applies to a func-walking helper. As a benefit we'll check for new_func member definition during the livepatch initialization. There is no such check anywhere in the code now.
