Previously, when CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=n, the module loader just does not
attempt to load exit sections since it never expects that any code in those
sections will ever execute. However, dynamic code patching (alternatives,
jump_label and static_call) can have sites in __exit code, even if __exit is
never executed. Therefore __exit must be present at runtime, at least for as
long as __init code is.
Commit 33121347fb ("module: treat exit sections the same as init
sections when !CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD") solves the requirements of
jump_labels and static_calls by putting the exit sections in the init
region of the module so that they are at least present at init, and
discarded afterwards. It does this by including a check for exit
sections in module_init_section(), so that it also returns true for exit
sections, and the module loader will automatically sort them in the init
region of the module.
However, the solution there was not completely arch-independent. ARM is
a special case where it supplies its own module_{init, exit}_section()
functions. Instead of pushing the exit section checks into
module_init_section(), just implement the exit section check in
layout_sections(), so that we don't have to touch arch-dependent code.

Splitting an earlier version of a patch that allowed calling
__request_region() while holding the resource lock into a series of

__request_region_locked().
Unfortunately this change was not carried through to a subsequent commit
56fd94919b ("kernel/resource: fix locking in request_free_mem_region")
in the series. This resulted in a use-after-free due to freeing the
struct resource without properly releasing it. Fix this by correcting the
return code check so that the struct is not freed if the request to add it
was successful.

Suppose we have 2 threads, the group-leader L and a sub-theread T,
both parked in ptrace_stop(). Debugger tries to resume both threads
and does
ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, T);
ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, L);
If the sub-thread T execs in between, the 2nd PTRACE_CONT doesn not
resume the old leader L, it resumes the post-exec thread T which was
actually now stopped in PTHREAD_EVENT_EXEC. In this case the
PTHREAD_EVENT_EXEC event is lost, and the tracer can't know that the
tracee changed its pid.
This patch makes ptrace() fail in this case until debugger does wait()
and consumes PTHREAD_EVENT_EXEC which reports old_pid. This affects all
ptrace requests except the "asynchronous" PTRACE_INTERRUPT/KILL.
The patch doesn't add the new PTRACE_ option to not complicate the API,
and I _hope_ this won't cause any noticeable regression:
- If debugger uses PTRACE_O_TRACEEXEC and the thread did an exec
and the tracer does a ptrace request without having consumed
the exec event, it's 100% sure that the thread the ptracer
thinks it is targeting does not exist anymore, or isn't the
same as the one it thinks it is targeting.
- To some degree this patch adds nothing new. In the scenario
above ptrace(L) can fail with -ESRCH if it is called after the
execing sub-thread wakes the leader up and before it "steals"
the leader's pid.

RTC drivers used to leave .set_alarm() NULL in order to signal the RTC
device doesn't support alarms. The drivers are now clearing the
RTC_FEATURE_ALARM bit for that purpose in order to keep the rtc_class_ops
structure const. So now, .set_alarm() is set unconditionally and this
possibly causes the alarmtimer code to select an RTC device that doesn't
support alarms.
Test RTC_FEATURE_ALARM instead of relying on ops->set_alarm to determine
whether alarms are available.

Patch series "drivers/char: remove /dev/kmem for good".
Exploring /dev/kmem and /dev/mem in the context of memory hot(un)plug and
memory ballooning, I started questioning the existence of /dev/kmem.
Comparing it with the /proc/kcore implementation, it does not seem to be
able to deal with things like
a) Pages unmapped from the direct mapping (e.g., to be used by secretmem)
-> kern_addr_valid(). virt_addr_valid() is not sufficient.
b) Special cases like gart aperture memory that is not to be touched
-> mem_pfn_is_ram()
Unless I am missing something, it's at least broken in some cases and might
fault/crash the machine.
Looks like its existence has been questioned before in 2005 and 2010 [1],
after ~11 additional years, it might make sense to revive the discussion.
CONFIG_DEVKMEM is only enabled in a single defconfig (on purpose or by
mistake?). All distributions disable it: in Ubuntu it has been disabled
for more than 10 years, in Debian since 2.6.31, in Fedora at least
starting with FC3, in RHEL starting with RHEL4, in SUSE starting from
15sp2, and OpenSUSE has it disabled as well.
1) /dev/kmem was popular for rootkits [2] before it got disabled
basically everywhere. Ubuntu documents [3] "There is no modern user of
/dev/kmem any more beyond attackers using it to load kernel rootkits.".
RHEL documents in a BZ [5] "it served no practical purpose other than to
serve as a potential security problem or to enable binary module drivers
to access structures/functions they shouldn't be touching"
2) /proc/kcore is a decent interface to have a controlled way to read
kernel memory for debugging puposes. (will need some extensions to
deal with memory offlining/unplug, memory ballooning, and poisoned
pages, though)
3) It might be useful for corner case debugging [1]. KDB/KGDB might be a
better fit, especially, to write random memory; harder to shoot
yourself into the foot.
4) "Kernel Memory Editor" [4] hasn't seen any updates since 2000 and seems
to be incompatible with 64bit [1]. For educational purposes,
/proc/kcore might be used to monitor value updates -- or older
kernels can be used.
5) It's broken on arm64, and therefore, completely disabled there.
Looks like it's essentially unused and has been replaced by better
suited interfaces for individual tasks (/proc/kcore, KDB/KGDB). Let's
just remove it.

Allow the developer to specifiy the initial value of the modprobe_path[]
string. This can be used to set it to the empty string initially, thus
effectively disabling request_module() during early boot until userspace
writes a new value via the /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe interface. [1]
When building a custom kernel (often for an embedded target), it's normal
to build everything into the kernel that is needed for booting, and indeed
the initramfs often contains no modules at all, so every such
request_module() done before userspace init has mounted the real rootfs is
a waste of time.
This is particularly useful when combined with the previous patch, which
made the initramfs unpacking asynchronous - for that to work, it had to
make any usermodehelper call wait for the unpacking to finish before
attempting to invoke the userspace helper. By eliminating all such
(known-to-be-futile) calls of usermodehelper, the initramfs unpacking and
the {device,late}_initcalls can proceed in parallel for much longer.
For a relatively slow ppc board I'm working on, the two patches combined
lead to 0.2s faster boot - but more importantly, the fact that the
initramfs unpacking proceeds completely in the background while devices
get probed means I get to handle the gpio watchdog in time without getting
reset.
[1] __request_module() already has an early -ENOENT return when
modprobe_path is the empty string.

Patch series "background initramfs unpacking, and CONFIG_MODPROBE_PATH", v3.
These two patches are independent, but better-together.
The second is a rather trivial patch that simply allows the developer to
change "/sbin/modprobe" to something else - e.g. the empty string, so
that all request_module() during early boot return -ENOENT early, without
even spawning a usermode helper, needlessly synchronizing with the
initramfs unpacking.
The first patch delegates decompressing the initramfs to a worker thread,
allowing do_initcalls() in main.c to proceed to the device_ and late_
initcalls without waiting for that decompression (and populating of
rootfs) to finish. Obviously, some of those later calls may rely on the
initramfs being available, so I've added synchronization points in the
firmware loader and usermodehelper paths - there might be other places
that would need this, but so far no one has been able to think of any
places I have missed.
There's not much to win if most of the functionality needed during boot is
only available as modules. But systems with a custom-made .config and
initramfs can boot faster, partly due to utilizing more than one cpu
earlier, partly by avoiding known-futile modprobe calls (which would still
trigger synchronization with the initramfs unpacking, thus eliminating
most of the first benefit).
This patch (of 2):
Most of the boot process doesn't actually need anything from the
initramfs, until of course PID1 is to be executed. So instead of doing
the decompressing and populating of the initramfs synchronously in
populate_rootfs() itself, push that off to a worker thread.
This is primarily motivated by an embedded ppc target, where unpacking
even the rather modest sized initramfs takes 0.6 seconds, which is long
enough that the external watchdog becomes unhappy that it doesn't get
attention soon enough. By doing the initramfs decompression in a worker
thread, we get to do the device_initcalls and hence start petting the
watchdog much sooner.
Normal desktops might benefit as well. On my mostly stock Ubuntu kernel,
my initramfs is a 26M xz-compressed blob, decompressing to around 126M.
That takes almost two seconds:
[ 0.201454] Trying to unpack rootfs image as initramfs...
[ 1.976633] Freeing initrd memory: 29416K
Before this patch, these lines occur consecutively in dmesg. With this
patch, the timestamps on these two lines is roughly the same as above, but
with 172 lines inbetween - so more than one cpu has been kept busy doing
work that would otherwise only happen after the populate_rootfs()
finished.
Should one of the initcalls done after rootfs_initcall time (i.e., device_
and late_ initcalls) need something from the initramfs (say, a kernel
module or a firmware blob), it will simply wait for the initramfs
unpacking to be done before proceeding, which should in theory make this
completely safe.
But if some driver pokes around in the filesystem directly and not via one
of the official kernel interfaces (i.e. request_firmware*(),
call_usermodehelper*) that theory may not hold - also, I certainly might
have missed a spot when sprinkling wait_for_initramfs(). So there is an
escape hatch in the form of an initramfs_async= command line parameter.

It's currently nigh impossible to get these pr_debug()s to print
something. Being guarded by initcall_debug means one has to enable tons
of other debug output during boot, and the system_state condition further
means it's impossible to get them when loading modules later.
Also, the compiler can't know that these global conditions do not change,
so there are W=2 warnings
kernel/async.c:125:9: warning: `calltime' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
kernel/async.c:300:9: warning: `starttime' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
Make it possible, for a DYNAMIC_DEBUG kernel, to get these to print their
messages by booting with appropriate 'dyndbg="file async.c +p"' command
line argument. For a non-DYNAMIC_DEBUG kernel, pr_debug() compiles to
nothing.
This does cost doing an unconditional ktime_get() for the starttime value,
but the corresponding ktime_get for the end time can be elided by
factoring it into a function which only gets called if the printk()
arguments end up being evaluated.

request_free_mem_region() is used to find an empty range of physical
addresses for hotplugging ZONE_DEVICE memory. It does this by iterating
over the range of possible addresses using region_intersects() to see if
the range is free before calling request_mem_region() to allocate the
region.
However the resource_lock is dropped between these two calls meaning by
the time request_mem_region() is called in request_free_mem_region()
another thread may have already reserved the requested region. This
results in unexpected failures and a message in the kernel log from
hitting this condition:
/*
* mm/hmm.c reserves physical addresses which then
* become unavailable to other users. Conflicts are
* not expected. Warn to aid debugging if encountered.
*/
if (conflict->desc == IORES_DESC_DEVICE_PRIVATE_MEMORY) {
pr_warn("Unaddressable device %s %pR conflicts with %pR",
conflict->name, conflict, res);
These unexpected failures can be corrected by holding resource_lock across
the two calls. This also requires memory allocation to be performed prior
to taking the lock.

It used to be true that we can have system RAM (IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM |
IORESOURCE_BUSY) only on the first level in the resource tree. However,
this is no longer holds for driver-managed system RAM (i.e., added via
dax/kmem and virtio-mem), which gets added on lower levels, for example,
inside device containers.
IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM is defined as IORESOURCE_MEM | IORESOURCE_SYSRAM and
just a special type of IORESOURCE_MEM.
The function walk_mem_res() only considers the first level and is used in
arch/x86/mm/ioremap.c:__ioremap_check_mem() only. We currently fail to
identify System RAM added by dax/kmem and virtio-mem as
"IORES_MAP_SYSTEM_RAM", for example, allowing for remapping of such
"normal RAM" in __ioremap_caller().
Let's find all IORESOURCE_MEM | IORESOURCE_BUSY resources, making the
function behave similar to walk_system_ram_res().

Patch series "kernel/resource: make walk_system_ram_res() and walk_mem_res() search the whole tree", v2.
Playing with kdump+virtio-mem I noticed that kexec_file_load() does not
consider System RAM added via dax/kmem and virtio-mem when preparing the
elf header for kdump. Looking into the details, the logic used in
walk_system_ram_res() and walk_mem_res() seems to be outdated.
walk_system_ram_range() already does the right thing, let's change
walk_system_ram_res() and walk_mem_res(), and clean up.
Loading a kdump kernel via "kexec -p -s" ... will result in the kdump
kernel to also dump dax/kmem and virtio-mem added System RAM now.
Note: kexec-tools on x86-64 also have to be updated to consider this
memory in the kexec_load() case when processing /proc/iomem.
This patch (of 3):
It used to be true that we can have system RAM (IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM |
IORESOURCE_BUSY) only on the first level in the resource tree. However,
this is no longer holds for driver-managed system RAM (i.e., added via
dax/kmem and virtio-mem), which gets added on lower levels, for example,
inside device containers.
We have two users of walk_system_ram_res(), which currently only
consideres the first level:
a) kernel/kexec_file.c:kexec_walk_resources() -- We properly skip
IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGED resources via
locate_mem_hole_callback(), so even after this change, we won't be
placing kexec images onto dax/kmem and virtio-mem added memory. No
change.
b) arch/x86/kernel/crash.c:fill_up_crash_elf_data() -- we're currently
not adding relevant ranges to the crash elf header, resulting in them
not getting dumped via kdump.
This change fixes loading a crashkernel via kexec_file_load() and
including dax/kmem and virtio-mem added System RAM in the crashdump on
x86-64. Note that e.g,, arm64 relies on memblock data and, therefore,
always considers all added System RAM already.
Let's find all IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM | IORESOURCE_BUSY resources, making
the function behave like walk_system_ram_range().

Add a special-case when waiting on a pid (via waitpid, waitid, wait4, etc)
to avoid doing an O(n) scan of children and tracees, and instead do an
O(1) lookup. This improves performance when waiting on a pid from a
thread group with many children and/or tracees.
Time to fork and then call waitpid on the child, from a task that already
has N children [1]:
N | Before | After

1 | 74 us | 74 us
20 | 72 us | 75 us
100 | 83 us | 77 us

This can make a substantial performance improvement for applications with
a thread that has many children or tracees and frequently needs to wait on
them. Tools that use ptrace to intercept syscalls for a large number of
processes are likely to fall into this category. In particular this patch
was developed while building a ptrace-based second generation of the
Shadow emulator [2], for which it allows us to avoid quadratic scaling
(without having to use a workaround that introduces a ~40% performance
penalty) [3]. Other examples of tools that fall into this category which
this patch may help include User Mode Linux [4] and DetTrace [5].

The FUTEX_WAIT operand has historically a relative timeout which means that
the clock id is irrelevant as relative timeouts on CLOCK_REALTIME are not
subject to wall clock changes and therefore are mapped by the kernel to
CLOCK_MONOTONIC for simplicity.
If a caller would set FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME for FUTEX_WAIT the timeout is
still treated relative vs. CLOCK_MONOTONIC and then the wait arms that
timeout based on CLOCK_REALTIME which is broken and obviously has never
been used or even tested.
Reject any attempt to use FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME with FUTEX_WAIT again.
The desired functionality can be achieved with FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET and a

Now that there's a library that accesses the tracefs file system,
(libtracefs), the way the files are interacted with is slightly
different than the command line. For instance, the write() system
call is used directly instead of an echo. This exposes some old bugs.
If a probe is written to "set_ftrace_filter" without any white space
after it, it will be ignored. This is because the write expects
that a string written to it that does not end with white spaces thinks
there is more to come. But if the file is closed, the release function
needs to finish it. The "set_ftrace_filter" release function handles
the filter part of the "set_ftrace_filter" file, but did not handle

Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt:
"Fix probes written to the set_ftrace_filter file
Now that there's a library that accesses the tracefs file system
(libtracefs), the way the files are interacted with is slightly
different than the command line. For instance, the write() system call
is used directly instead of an echo. This exposes some old bugs.
If a probe is written to "set_ftrace_filter" without any white space
after it, it will be ignored. This is because the write expects that a
string written to it that does not end with white spaces thinks there
is more to come. But if the file is closed, the release function needs
to finish it. The "set_ftrace_filter" release function handles the
filter part of the "set_ftrace_filter" file, but did not handle the
probe part"
