x86, vmlinux.lds: Page-align end of ..page_aligned sections

2020-07-22T07:38:37Z

On x86-32 the idt_table with 256 entries needs only 2048 bytes. It is page-aligned, but the end of the .bss..page_aligned section is not guaranteed to be page-aligned. As a result, objects from other .bss sections may end up on the same 4k page as the idt_table, and will accidentially get mapped read-only during boot, causing unexpected page-faults when the kernel writes to them. This could be worked around by making the objects in the page aligned sections page sized, but that's wrong. Explicit sections which store only page aligned objects have an implicit guarantee that the object is alone in the page in which it is placed. That works for all objects except the last one. That's inconsistent. Enforcing page sized objects for these sections would wreckage memory sanitizers, because the object becomes artificially larger than it should be and out of bound access becomes legit. Align the end of the .bss..page_aligned and .data..page_aligned section on page-size so all objects places in these sections are guaranteed to have their own page.

vmlinux.lds.h: Create section for protection against instrumentation

2020-05-19T13:47:20Z

Some code pathes, especially the low level entry code, must be protected against instrumentation for various reasons: - Low level entry code can be a fragile beast, especially on x86. - With NO_HZ_FULL RCU state needs to be established before using it. Having a dedicated section for such code allows to validate with tooling that no unsafe functions are invoked. Add the .noinstr.text section and the noinstr attribute to mark functions. noinstr implies notrace. Kprobes will gain a section check later. Provide also a set of markers: instrumentation_begin()/end() These are used to mark code inside a noinstr function which calls into regular instrumentable text section as safe. The instrumentation markers are only active when CONFIG_DEBUG_ENTRY is enabled as the end marker emits a NOP to prevent the compiler from merging the annotation points. This means the objtool verification requires a kernel compiled with this option.

x86, vmlinux.lds: Add RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT to generic DISCARDS

2020-03-27T10:52:11Z

In the x86 kernel, .exit.text and .exit.data sections are discarded at runtime, not by the linker. Add RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT to generic DISCARDS and define it in the x86 kernel linker script to keep them. The sections are added before the DISCARD directive so document here only the situation explicitly as this change doesn't have any effect on the generated kernel. Also, other architectures like ARM64 will use it too so generalize the approach with the RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT define. [ bp: Massage and extend commit message. ] Signed-off-by: H.J.

bpf: Support llvm-objcopy for vmlinux BTF

2020-03-19T11:32:38Z

Simplify gen_btf logic to make it work with llvm-objcopy. The existing 'file format' and 'architecture' parsing logic is brittle and does not work with llvm-objcopy/llvm-objdump. 'file format' output of llvm-objdump>=11 will match GNU objdump, but 'architecture' (bfdarch) may not. .BTF in .tmp_vmlinux.btf is non-SHF_ALLOC. Add the SHF_ALLOC flag because it is part of vmlinux image used for introspection. C code can reference the section via linker script defined __start_BTF and __stop_BTF. This fixes a small problem that previous .BTF had the SHF_WRITE flag (objcopy -I binary -O elf* synthesized .data). Additionally, `objcopy -I binary` synthesized symbols _binary__btf_vmlinux_bin_start and _binary__btf_vmlinux_bin_stop (not used elsewhere) are replaced with more commonplace __start_BTF and __stop_BTF. Add 2>/dev/null because GNU objcopy (but not llvm-objcopy) warns "empty loadable segment detected at vaddr=0xffffffff81000000, is this intentional?" We use a dd command to change the e_type field in the ELF header from ET_EXEC to ET_REL so that lld will accept .btf.vmlinux.bin.o. Accepting ET_EXEC as an input file is an extremely rare GNU ld feature that lld does not intend to support, because this is error-prone. The output section description .BTF in include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h avoids potential subtle orphan section placement issues and suppresses --orphan-handling=warn warnings.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: "New tracing features: - New PERMANENT flag to ftrace_ops when attaching a callback to a function. As /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled when set to zero will disable all attached callbacks in ftrace, this has a detrimental impact on live kernel tracing, as it disables all that it patched. If a ftrace_ops is registered to ftrace with the PERMANENT flag set, it will prevent ftrace_enabled from being disabled, and if ftrace_enabled is already disabled, it will prevent a ftrace_ops with PREMANENT flag set from being registered. - New register_ftrace_direct(). As eBPF would like to register its own trampolines to be called by the ftrace nop locations directly, without going through the ftrace trampoline, this function has been added. This allows for eBPF trampolines to live along side of ftrace, perf, kprobe and live patching. It also utilizes the ftrace enabled_functions file that keeps track of functions that have been modified in the kernel, to allow for security auditing. - Allow for kernel internal use of ftrace instances. Subsystems in the kernel can now create and destroy their own tracing instances which allows them to have their own tracing buffer, and be able to record events without worrying about other users from writing over their data. - New seq_buf_hex_dump() that lets users use the hex_dump() in their seq_buf usage. - Notifications now added to tracing_max_latency to allow user space to know when a new max latency is hit by one of the latency tracers. - Wider spread use of generic compare operations for use of bsearch and friends. - More synthetic event fields may be defined (32 up from 16) - Use of xarray for architectures with sparse system calls, for the system call trace events.

ftrace: Rename ftrace_graph_stub to ftrace_stub_graph

2019-11-18T16:42:16Z

The ftrace_graph_stub was created and points to ftrace_stub as a way to assign the functon graph tracer function pointer to a stub function with a different prototype than what ftrace_stub has and not trigger the C verifier. The ftrace_graph_stub was created via the linker script vmlinux.lds.h. Unfortunately, powerpc already uses the name ftrace_graph_stub for its internal implementation of the function graph tracer, and even though powerpc would still build, the change via the linker script broke function tracer on powerpc from working. By using the name ftrace_stub_graph, which does not exist anywhere else in the kernel, this should not be a problem.

fgraph: Fix function type mismatches of ftrace_graph_return using ftrace_stub

2019-11-14T18:13:43Z

The C compiler is allowing more checks to make sure that function pointers are assigned to the correct prototype function. Unfortunately, the function graph tracer uses a special name with its assigned ftrace_graph_return function pointer that maps to a stub function used by the function tracer (ftrace_stub). The ftrace_graph_return variable is compared to the ftrace_stub in some archs to know if the function graph tracer is enabled or not. This means we can not just simply create a new function stub that compares it without modifying all the archs. Instead, have the linker script create a function_graph_stub that maps to ftrace_stub, and this way we can define the prototype for it to match the prototype of ftrace_graph_return, and make the compiler checks all happy!

module/ftrace: handle patchable-function-entry

2019-11-06T14:17:30Z

When using patchable-function-entry, the compiler will record the callsites into a section named "__patchable_function_entries" rather than "__mcount_loc". Let's abstract this difference behind a new FTRACE_CALLSITE_SECTION, so that architectures don't have to handle this explicitly (e.g. with custom module linker scripts). As parisc currently handles this explicitly, it is fixed up accordingly, with its custom linker script removed. Since FTRACE_CALLSITE_SECTION is only defined when DYNAMIC_FTRACE is selected, the parisc module loading code is updated to only use the definition in that case. When DYNAMIC_FTRACE is not selected, modules shouldn't have this section, so this removes some redundant work in that case. To make sure that this is keep up-to-date for modules and the main kernel, a comment is added to vmlinux.lds.h, with the existing ifdeffery simplified for legibility. I built parisc generic-{32,64}bit_defconfig with DYNAMIC_FTRACE enabled, and verified that the section made it into the .ko files for modules.
