kallsyms: Add self-test facility
Added test cases for basic functions and performance of functions kallsyms_lookup_name(), kallsyms_on_each_symbol() and kallsyms_on_each_match_symbol(). It also calculates the compression rate of the kallsyms compression algorithm for the current symbol set.
The basic functions test begins by testing a set of symbols whose address values are known. Then, traverse all symbol addresses and find the corresponding symbol name based on the address. It's impossible to determine whether these addresses are correct, but we can use the above three functions along with the addresses to test each other. Due to the traversal operation of kallsyms_on_each_symbol() is too slow, only 60 symbols can be tested in one second, so let it test on average once every 128 symbols. The other two functions validate all symbols.
If the basic functions test is passed, print only performance test results. If the test fails, print error information, but do not perform subsequent performance tests.
Start self-test automatically after system startup if CONFIG_KALLSYMS_SELFTEST=y.

kallsyms: Add helper kallsyms_on_each_match_symbol()
Function kallsyms_on_each_symbol() traverses all symbols and submits each symbol to the hook 'fn' for judgment and processing. For some cases, the hook actually only handles the matched symbol, such as livepatch.
Because all symbols are currently sorted by name, all the symbols with the same name are clustered together. Function kallsyms_lookup_names() gets the start and end positions of the set corresponding to the specified name. So we can easily and quickly traverse all the matches.
The test results are as follows (twice): (x86) kallsyms_on_each_match_symbol: 7454, 7984 kallsyms_on_each_symbol : 11733809, 11785803
kallsyms_on_each_match_symbol() consumes only 0.066% of kallsyms_on_each_symbol()'s time. In other words, 1523x better performance.

kallsyms: increase maximum kernel symbol length to 512
Rust symbols can become quite long due to namespacing introduced by modules, types, traits, generics, etc. For instance, the following code:
kallsyms: increase maximum kernel symbol length to 512
Rust symbols can become quite long due to namespacing introduced by modules, types, traits, generics, etc. For instance, the following code:
pub mod my_module { pub struct MyType; pub struct MyGenericType<T>(T);
pub trait MyTrait { fn my_method() -> u32; }
impl MyTrait for MyGenericType<MyType> { fn my_method() -> u32 { 42 } } }
generates a symbol of length 96 when using the upcoming v0 mangling scheme:
_RNvXNtCshGpAVYOtgW1_7example9my_moduleINtB2_13MyGenericTypeNtB2_6MyTypeENtB2_7MyTrait9my_method
At the moment, Rust symbols may reach up to 300 in length. Setting 512 as the maximum seems like a reasonable choice to keep some headroom.

asm-generic: Define CONFIG_HAVE_FUNCTION_DESCRIPTORS
Replace HAVE_DEREFERENCE_FUNCTION_DESCRIPTOR by a config option named CONFIG_HAVE_FUNCTION_DESCRIPTORS and use it instead of 'dereference_function_descriptor' macro to know whether an arch has function descriptors.
To limit churn in one of the following patches, use an #ifdef/#else construct with empty first part instead of an #ifndef in asm-generic/sections.h
On powerpc, make sure the config option matches the ABI used by the compiler with a BUILD_BUG_ON() and add missing _CALL_ELF=2 when calling 'sparse' so that sparse sees the same piece of code as GCC.
And include a helper to check whether an arch has function descriptors or not : have_function_descriptors()

kallsyms: remove arch specific text and data check
Patch series "sections: Unify kernel sections range check and use", v4.
There are three head files(kallsyms.h, kernel.h and sections.h) which include the kernel sections range check, let's make some cleanup and unify them.
1. cleanup arch specific text/data check and fix address boundary check in kallsyms.h
2. make all the basic/core kernel range check function into sections.h
3. update all the callers, and use the helper in sections.h to simplify the code
After this series, we have 5 APIs about kernel sections range check in sections.h
* is_kernel_rodata() --- already in sections.h * is_kernel_core_data() --- come from core_kernel_data() in kernel.h * is_kernel_inittext() --- come from kernel.h and kallsyms.h * __is_kernel_text() --- add new internal helper * __is_kernel() --- add new internal helper
Note: For the last two helpers, people should not use directly, consider to use corresponding function in kallsyms.h.
This patch (of 11):
Remove arch specific text and data check after commit 4ba66a976072 ("arch: remove blackfin port"), no need arch-specific text/data check.

module: add printk formats to add module build ID to stacktraces
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.

kallsyms: Refactor kallsyms_show_value() to take cred
In order to perform future tests against the cred saved during open(), switch kallsyms_show_value() to operate on a cred, and have all current callers pass current_cred(). This makes it very obvious where callers are checking the wrong credential in their "read" contexts. These will be fixed in the coming patches.
Additionally switch return value to bool, since it is always used as a direct permission check, not a 0-on-success, negative-on-error style function return.

kallsyms/printk: add loglvl to print_ip_sym()
Patch series "Add log level to show_stack()", v3.
Add log level argument to show_stack().
Done in three stages: 1. Introducing show_stack_loglvl() for every architecture 2. Migrating old users with an explicit log level 3. Renaming show_stack_loglvl() into show_stack()
Justification:
- It's a design mistake to move a business-logic decision into platform realization detail.
- I have currently two patches sets that would benefit from this work: Removing console_loglevel jumps in sysrq driver [1] Hung task warning before panic [2] - suggested by Tetsuo (but he probably didn't realise what it would involve).
- While doing (1), (2) the backtraces were adjusted to headers and other messages for each situation - so there won't be a situation when the backtrace is printed, but the headers are missing because they have lesser log level (or the reverse).
- As the result in (2) plays with console_loglevel for kdb are removed.
The least important for upstream, but maybe still worth to note that every company I've worked in so far had an off-list patch to print backtrace with the needed log level (but only for the architecture they cared about). If you have other ideas how you will benefit from show_stack() with a log level - please, reply to this cover letter.
See also discussion on v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-riscv/20191106083538.z5nlpuf64cigxigh@pathway.suse.cz/
This patch (of 50):
print_ip_sym() needs to have a log level parameter to comply with other parts being printed. Otherwise, half of the expected backtrace would be printed and other may be missing with some logging level.
The following callee(s) are using now the adjusted log level: - microblaze/unwind: the same level as headers & userspace unwind. Note that pr_debug()'s there are for debugging the unwinder itself. - nds32/traps: symbol addresses are printed with the same log level as backtrace headers. - lockdep: ip for locking issues is printed with the same log level as other part of the warning. - sched: ip where preemption was disabled is printed as error like the rest part of the message. - ftrace: bug reports are now consistent in the log level being used.

symbol lookup: introduce dereference_symbol_descriptor()

symbol lookup: introduce dereference_symbol_descriptor()
dereference_symbol_descriptor() invokes appropriate ARCH specific function descriptor dereference callbacks: - dereference_kernel_function_descriptor() if the pointer is a kernel symbol;
- dereference_module_function_descriptor() if the pointer is a module symbol.
This is the last step needed to make '%pS/%ps' smart enough to handle function descriptor dereference on affected ARCHs and to retire '%pF/%pf'.
To refresh it: Some architectures (ia64, ppc64, parisc64) use an indirect pointer for C function pointers - the function pointer points to a function descriptor and we need to dereference it to get the actual function pointer.
Function descriptors live in .opd elf section and all affected ARCHs (ia64, ppc64, parisc64) handle it properly for kernel and modules. So we, technically, can decide if the dereference is needed by simply looking at the pointer: if it belongs to .opd section then we need to dereference it.
The kernel and modules have their own .opd sections, obviously, that's why we need to split dereference_function_descriptor() and use separate kernel and module dereference arch callbacks.

This adds a dummy helper with the same name that can be used for compilation. It's not entirely clear to me what this should return for !CONFIG_KALLSYMS, I picked an unconditional 'false', which leads to the module address being unavailable to user space.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

kbuild: Increase kallsyms max symbol length
[AK: This seems like a ticking time bomb even without LTO, so should be merged now. It causes very weird problems. Thanks to Joe for tracking them down.]

With the added postfixes that LTO adds for local symbols, the longest name in the kernel overflows the namebuf[KSYM_NAME_LEN] array by two bytes. That name is: __pci_fixup_resumePCI_VENDOR_ID_SERVERWORKSPCI_DEVICE_ID_SERVERWORKS_HT1000SBquirk_disable_broadcom_boot_interrupt.1488004.672802
