Config MODULE_SCMVERSION introduces a new module attribute --
`scmversion` -- which can be used to identify a given module's SCM
version. This is very useful for developers that update their kernel
independently from their kernel modules or vice-versa since the SCM
version provided by UTS_RELEASE (`uname -r`) will now differ from the
module's vermagic attribute.
For example, we have a CI setup that tests new kernel changes on the
hikey960 and db845c devices without updating their kernel modules. When
these tests fail, we need to be able to identify the exact device
configuration the test was using. By including MODULE_SCMVERSION, we can
identify the exact kernel and modules' SCM versions for debugging the
failures.
Additionally, by exposing the SCM version via the sysfs node
/sys/module/MODULENAME/scmversion, one can also verify the SCM versions
of the modules loaded from the initramfs. Currently, modinfo can only
retrieve module attributes from the module's ko on disk and not from the
actual module that is loaded in RAM.
You can retrieve the SCM version in two ways,
1) By using modinfo:
> modinfo -F scmversion MODULENAME
2) By module sysfs node:
> cat /sys/module/MODULENAME/scmversion

The __CFI_ADDRESSABLE macro is used for init_module and cleanup_module
to ensure we have the address of the CFI jump table, and with
CONFIG_X86_KERNEL_IBT to ensure LTO won't optimize away the symbols.
As __CFI_ADDRESSABLE is no longer necessary with -fsanitize=kcfi, add
a more flexible version of the __ADDRESSABLE macro and always ensure
these symbols won't be dropped.

We currently store kunit suites in the .kunit_test_suites ELF section as
a `struct kunit_suite***` (modulo some `const`s).
For every test file, we store a struct kunit_suite** NULL-terminated array.
This adds quite a bit of complexity to the test filtering code in the
executor.
Instead, let's just make the .kunit_test_suites section contain a single
giant array of struct kunit_suite pointers, which can then be directly
manipulated. This array is not NULL-terminated, and so none of the test
filtering code needs to NULL-terminate anything.

Currently, KUnit runs built-in tests and tests loaded from modules
differently. For built-in tests, the kunit_test_suite{,s}() macro adds a
list of suites in the .kunit_test_suites linker section. However, for
kernel modules, a module_init() function is used to run the test suites.
This causes problems if tests are included in a module which already
defines module_init/exit_module functions, as they'll conflict with the
kunit-provided ones.
This change removes the kunit-defined module inits, and instead parses
the kunit tests from their own section in the module. After module init,
we call __kunit_test_suites_init() on the contents of that section,
which prepares and runs the suite.
This essentially unifies the module- and non-module kunit init formats.

In commit ca321ec743 ("module.h: allow #define strings to work with
MODULE_IMPORT_NS") I fixed up the MODULE_IMPORT_NS() macro to allow
defined strings to work with it. Unfortunatly I did it in a two-stage
process, when it could just be done with the __stringify() macro as
pointed out by Masahiro Yamada.
Clean this up to only be one macro instead of two steps to achieve the
same end result.

Pull module updates from Luis Chamberlain:
"The biggest change here is in-kernel support for module decompression.
This change is being made to help support LSMs like LoadPin as
otherwise it loses link between the source of kernel module on the
disk and binary blob that is being loaded into the kernel.
kmod decompression is still done by userspace even with this is done,
both because there are no measurable gains in not doing so and as it
adds a secondary extra check for validating the module before loading
it into the kernel.
The rest of the changes are minor, the only other change worth
mentionin there is Jessica Yu is now bowing out of maintenance of
modules as she's taking a break from work.
While there were other changes posted for modules, those have not yet
received much review of testing so I'm not yet comfortable in merging
any of those changes yet."

We have a number of systems industry-wide that have a subset of their
functionality that works as follows:
1. Receive a message from local kmsg, serial console, or netconsole;
2. Apply a set of rules to classify the message;
3. Do something based on this classification (like scheduling a
remediation for the machine), rinse, and repeat.
As a couple of examples of places we have this implemented just inside
Facebook, although this isn't a Facebook-specific problem, we have this
inside our netconsole processing (for alarm classification), and as part
of our machine health checking. We use these messages to determine
fairly important metrics around production health, and it's important
that we get them right.
While for some kinds of issues we have counters, tracepoints, or metrics
with a stable interface which can reliably indicate the issue, in order
to react to production issues quickly we need to work with the interface
which most kernel developers naturally use when developing: printk.
Most production issues come from unexpected phenomena, and as such
usually the code in question doesn't have easily usable tracepoints or
other counters available for the specific problem being mitigated. We
have a number of lines of monitoring defence against problems in
production (host metrics, process metrics, service metrics, etc), and
where it's not feasible to reliably monitor at another level, this kind
of pragmatic netconsole monitoring is essential.
As one would expect, monitoring using printk is rather brittle for a
number of reasons -- most notably that the message might disappear
entirely in a new version of the kernel, or that the message may change
in some way that the regex or other classification methods start to
silently fail.
One factor that makes this even harder is that, under normal operation,
many of these messages are never expected to be hit. For example, there
may be a rare hardware bug which one wants to detect if it was to ever
happen again, but its recurrence is not likely or anticipated. This
precludes using something like checking whether the printk in question
was printed somewhere fleetwide recently to determine whether the
message in question is still present or not, since we don't anticipate
that it should be printed anywhere, but still need to monitor for its
future presence in the long-term.
This class of issue has happened on a number of occasions, causing
unhealthy machines with hardware issues to remain in production for
longer than ideal. As a recent example, some monitoring around
blk_update_request fell out of date and caused semi-broken machines to
remain in production for longer than would be desirable.
Searching through the codebase to find the message is also extremely
fragile, because many of the messages are further constructed beyond
their callsite (eg. btrfs_printk and other module-specific wrappers,
each with their own functionality). Even if they aren't, guessing the
format and formulation of the underlying message based on the aesthetics
of the message emitted is not a recipe for success at scale, and our
previous issues with fleetwide machine health checking demonstrate as
much.
This provides a solution to the issue of silently changed or deleted
printks: we record pointers to all printk format strings known at
compile time into a new .printk_index section, both in vmlinux and
modules. At runtime, this can then be iterated by looking at
<debugfs>/printk/index/<module>, which emits the following format, both
readable by humans and able to be parsed by machines:
$ head -1 vmlinux; shuf -n 5 vmlinux
# <level[,flags]> filename:line function "format"
<5> block/blk-settings.c:661 disk_stack_limits "%s: Warning: Device %s is misaligned\n"
<4> kernel/trace/trace.c:8296 trace_create_file "Could not create tracefs '%s' entry\n"
<6> arch/x86/kernel/hpet.c:144 _hpet_print_config "hpet: %s(%d):\n"
<6> init/do_mounts.c:605 prepare_namespace "Waiting for root device %s...\n"
<6> drivers/acpi/osl.c:1410 acpi_no_auto_serialize_setup "ACPI: auto-serialization disabled\n"
This mitigates the majority of cases where we have a highly-specific
printk which we want to match on, as we can now enumerate and check
whether the format changed or the printk callsite disappeared entirely
in userspace. This allows us to catch changes to printks we monitor
earlier and decide what to do about it before it becomes problematic.
There is no additional runtime cost for printk callers or printk itself,
and the assembly generated is exactly the same.

Let's make kernel stacktraces easier to identify by including the build
ID[1] of a module if the stacktrace is printing a symbol from a module.
This makes it simpler for developers to locate a kernel module's full
debuginfo for a particular stacktrace. Combined with
scripts/decode_stracktrace.sh, a developer can download the matching
debuginfo from a debuginfod[2] server and find the exact file and line
number for the functions plus offsets in a stacktrace that match the
module. This is especially useful for pstore crash debugging where the
kernel crashes are recorded in something like console-ramoops and the
recovery kernel/modules are different or the debuginfo doesn't exist on
the device due to space concerns (the debuginfo can be too large for space
limited devices).
Originally, I put this on the %pS format, but that was quickly rejected
given that %pS is used in other places such as ftrace where build IDs
aren't meaningful. There was some discussions on the list to put every
module build ID into the "Modules linked in:" section of the stacktrace
message but that quickly becomes very hard to read once you have more than
three or four modules linked in. It also provides too much information
when we don't expect each module to be traversed in a stacktrace. Having
the build ID for modules that aren't important just makes things messy.
Splitting it to multiple lines for each module quickly explodes the number
of lines printed in an oops too, possibly wrapping the warning off the
console. And finally, trying to stash away each module used in a
callstack to provide the ID of each symbol printed is cumbersome and would
require changes to each architecture to stash away modules and return
their build IDs once unwinding has completed.
Instead, we opt for the simpler approach of introducing new printk formats
'%pS[R]b' for "pointer symbolic backtrace with module build ID" and '%pBb'
for "pointer backtrace with module build ID" and then updating the few
places in the architecture layer where the stacktrace is printed to use
this new format.

This change adds support for Clang’s forward-edge Control Flow
Integrity (CFI) checking. With CONFIG_CFI_CLANG, the compiler
injects a runtime check before each indirect function call to ensure
the target is a valid function with the correct static type. This
restricts possible call targets and makes it more difficult for
an attacker to exploit bugs that allow the modification of stored
function pointers. For more details, see:
https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ControlFlowIntegrity.html
Clang requires CONFIG_LTO_CLANG to be enabled with CFI to gain
visibility to possible call targets. Kernel modules are supported
with Clang’s cross-DSO CFI mode, which allows checking between
independently compiled components.
With CFI enabled, the compiler injects a __cfi_check() function into
the kernel and each module for validating local call targets. For
cross-module calls that cannot be validated locally, the compiler
calls the global __cfi_slowpath_diag() function, which determines
the target module and calls the correct __cfi_check() function. This
patch includes a slowpath implementation that uses __module_address()
to resolve call targets, and with CONFIG_CFI_CLANG_SHADOW enabled, a
shadow map that speeds up module look-ups by ~3x.
Clang implements indirect call checking using jump tables and
offers two methods of generating them. With canonical jump tables,
the compiler renames each address-taken function to <function>.cfi
and points the original symbol to a jump table entry, which passes
__cfi_check() validation. This isn’t compatible with stand-alone
assembly code, which the compiler doesn’t instrument, and would
result in indirect calls to assembly code to fail. Therefore, we
default to using non-canonical jump tables instead, where the compiler
generates a local jump table entry <function>.cfi_jt for each
address-taken function, and replaces all references to the function
with the address of the jump table entry.
Note that because non-canonical jump table addresses are local
to each component, they break cross-module function address
equality. Specifically, the address of a global function will be
different in each module, as it's replaced with the address of a local
jump table entry. If this address is passed to a different module,
it won’t match the address of the same function taken there. This
may break code that relies on comparing addresses passed from other
components.
CFI checking can be disabled in a function with the __nocfi attribute.
Additionally, CFI can be disabled for an entire compilation unit by
filtering out CC_FLAGS_CFI.
By default, CFI failures result in a kernel panic to stop a potential
exploit. CONFIG_CFI_PERMISSIVE enables a permissive mode, where the
kernel prints out a rate-limited warning instead, and allows execution
to continue. This option is helpful for locating type mismatches, but
should only be enabled during development.

Config MODULE_SCMVERSION introduces a new module attribute --
`scmversion` -- which can be used to identify a given module's SCM
version. This is very useful for developers that update their kernel
independently from their kernel modules or vice-versa since the SCM
version provided by UTS_RELEASE (`uname -r`) will now differ from the
module's vermagic attribute.
For example, we have a CI setup that tests new kernel changes on the
hikey960 and db845c devices without updating their kernel modules. When
these tests fail, we need to be able to identify the exact device
configuration the test was using. By including MODULE_SCMVERSION, we can
identify the exact kernel and modules' SCM versions for debugging the
failures.
Additionally, by exposing the SCM version via the sysfs node
/sys/module/MODULENAME/scmversion, one can also verify the SCM versions
of the modules loaded from the initramfs. Currently, modinfo can only
retrieve module attributes from the module's ko on disk and not from the
actual module that is loaded in RAM.
You can retrieve the SCM version in two ways,
1) By using modinfo:
> modinfo -F scmversion MODULENAME
2) By module sysfs node:
> cat /sys/module/MODULENAME/scmversion

Summary of modules changes for the 5.11 merge window:
- Fix a race condition between systemd/udev and the module loader.
The module loader was sending a uevent before the module was fully
initialized (i.e., before its init function has been called). This means
udev can start processing the module uevent before the module has
finished initializing, and some udev rules expect that the module has
initialized already upon receiving the uevent. This resulted in some
systemd mount units failing if udev processes the event faster than the
module can finish init. This is fixed by delaying the uevent until after
the module has called its init routine.
- Make the linker array sections for kernel params and module version
attributes more robust by switching to use the alignment of the type in
question. Namely, linker section arrays will be constructed using the
alignment required by the struct (using __alignof__()) as opposed to a
specific value such as sizeof(void *) or sizeof(long). This is less
likely to cause breakages should the size of the type ever change (from
Johan Hovold)
- Fix module state inconsistency by setting it back to GOING when a module
fails to load and is on its way out (from Miroslav Benes)
- Some comment and code cleanups (from Sergey Shtylyov)

Instead of using the array-of-pointers trick to avoid having gcc mess up
the built-in module-version array stride, specify type alignment when
declaring entries to prevent gcc from increasing alignment.
This is essentially an alternative (one-line) fix to the problem
addressed by commit b4bc842802 ("module: deal with alignment issues in
built-in module versions").
gcc can increase the alignment of larger objects with static extent as
an optimisation, but this can be suppressed by using the aligned
attribute when declaring variables.
Note that we have been relying on this behaviour for kernel parameters
for 16 years and it indeed hasn't changed since the introduction of the
aligned attribute in gcc-3.1.

Commit 98562ad8cb ("module: explicitly align module_version_attribute

module_version_attribute type in order to fix an alignment issue on m68k
where the structure is 2-byte aligned while MODULE_VERSION() forced the
__modver section entries to be 4-byte aligned (sizeof(void *)).
This was essentially an alternative fix to the problem addressed by
b4bc842802 ("module: deal with alignment issues in built-in module

increasing alignment of the version attribute entries. And with the
pointer indirection in place there's no need to increase the alignment
of the type.

Add kernel module listener that will load/validate and unload module BTF.
Module BTFs gets ID generated for them, which makes it possible to iterate
them with existing BTF iteration API. They are given their respective module's
names, which will get reported through GET_OBJ_INFO API. They are also marked
as in-kernel BTFs for tooling to distinguish them from user-provided BTFs.
Also, similarly to vmlinux BTF, kernel module BTFs are exposed through
sysfs as /sys/kernel/btf/<module-name>. This is convenient for user-space
tools to inspect module BTF contents and dump their types with existing tools:

Geert reports that commit be2881824a ("arm64/build: Assert for
unwanted sections") results in build errors on arm64 for configurations
that have CONFIG_MODULES disabled.
The commit in question added ASSERT()s to the arm64 linker script to
ensure that linker generated sections such as .got.plt etc are empty,
but as it turns out, there are corner cases where the linker does emit
content into those sections. More specifically, weak references to
function symbols (which can remain unsatisfied, and can therefore not
be emitted as relative references) will be emitted as GOT and PLT
entries when linking the kernel in PIE mode (which is the case when
CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is enabled, which is on by default).
What happens is that code such as
struct device *(*fn)(struct device *dev);
struct device *iommu_device;
fn = symbol_get(mdev_get_iommu_device);
if (fn) {
iommu_device = fn(dev);
essentially gets converted into the following when CONFIG_MODULES is off:
struct device *iommu_device;
if (&mdev_get_iommu_device) {
iommu_device = mdev_get_iommu_device(dev);
where mdev_get_iommu_device is emitted as a weak symbol reference into
the object file. The first reference is decorated with an ordinary
ABS64 data relocation (which yields 0x0 if the reference remains
unsatisfied). However, the indirect call is turned into a direct call
covered by a R_AARCH64_CALL26 relocation, which is converted into a
call via a PLT entry taking the target address from the associated
GOT entry.
Given that such GOT and PLT entries are unnecessary for fully linked
binaries such as the kernel, let's give these weak symbol references
hidden visibility, so that the linker knows that the weak reference
via R_AARCH64_CALL26 can simply remain unsatisfied.
