Merge tag 'modules-6.4-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/linux
Pull module updates from Luis Chamberlain: "The summary of the changes for this pull requests is:
- Song Liu's new struct module_memory replacement
- Nick Alcock's MODULE_LICENSE() removal for non-modules
- My cleanups and enhancements to reduce the areas where we vmalloc module memory for duplicates, and the respective debug code which proves the remaining vmalloc pressure comes from userspace.
Most of the changes have been in linux-next for quite some time except the minor fixes I made to check if a module was already loaded prior to allocating the final module memory with vmalloc and the respective debug code it introduces to help clarify the issue. Although the functional change is small it is rather safe as it can only *help* reduce vmalloc space for duplicates and is confirmed to fix a bootup issue with over 400 CPUs with KASAN enabled. I don't expect stable kernels to pick up that fix as the cleanups would have also had to have been picked up. Folks on larger CPU systems with modules will want to just upgrade if vmalloc space has been an issue on bootup.
Given the size of this request, here's some more elaborate details:
The functional change change in this pull request is the very first patch from Song Liu which replaces the 'struct module_layout' with a new 'struct module_memory'. The old data structure tried to put together all types of supported module memory types in one data structure, the new one abstracts the differences in memory types in a module to allow each one to provide their own set of details. This paves the way in the future so we can deal with them in a cleaner way. If you look at changes they also provide a nice cleanup of how we handle these different memory areas in a module. This change has been in linux-next since before the merge window opened for v6.3 so to provide more than a full kernel cycle of testing. It's a good thing as quite a bit of fixes have been found for it.
Jason Baron then made dynamic debug a first class citizen module user by using module notifier callbacks to allocate / remove module specific dynamic debug information.
Nick Alcock has done quite a bit of work cross-tree to remove module license tags from things which cannot possibly be module at my request so to:
a) help him with his longer term tooling goals which require a deterministic evaluation if a piece a symbol code could ever be part of a module or not. But quite recently it is has been made clear that tooling is not the only one that would benefit. Disambiguating symbols also helps efforts such as live patching, kprobes and BPF, but for other reasons and R&D on this area is active with no clear solution in sight.
b) help us inch closer to the now generally accepted long term goal of automating all the MODULE_LICENSE() tags from SPDX license tags
In so far as a) is concerned, although module license tags are a no-op for non-modules, tools which would want create a mapping of possible modules can only rely on the module license tag after the commit 8b41fc4454e ("kbuild: create modules.builtin without Makefile.modbuiltin or tristate.conf").
Nick has been working on this *for years* and AFAICT I was the only one to suggest two alternatives to this approach for tooling. The complexity in one of my suggested approaches lies in that we'd need a possible-obj-m and a could-be-module which would check if the object being built is part of any kconfig build which could ever lead to it being part of a module, and if so define a new define -DPOSSIBLE_MODULE [0].
A more obvious yet theoretical approach I've suggested would be to have a tristate in kconfig imply the same new -DPOSSIBLE_MODULE as well but that means getting kconfig symbol names mapping to modules always, and I don't think that's the case today. I am not aware of Nick or anyone exploring either of these options. Quite recently Josh Poimboeuf has pointed out that live patching, kprobes and BPF would benefit from resolving some part of the disambiguation as well but for other reasons. The function granularity KASLR (fgkaslr) patches were mentioned but Joe Lawrence has clarified this effort has been dropped with no clear solution in sight [1].
In the meantime removing module license tags from code which could never be modules is welcomed for both objectives mentioned above. Some developers have also welcomed these changes as it has helped clarify when a module was never possible and they forgot to clean this up, and so you'll see quite a bit of Nick's patches in other pull requests for this merge window. I just picked up the stragglers after rc3. LWN has good coverage on the motivation behind this work [2] and the typical cross-tree issues he ran into along the way. The only concrete blocker issue he ran into was that we should not remove the MODULE_LICENSE() tags from files which have no SPDX tags yet, even if they can never be modules. Nick ended up giving up on his efforts due to having to do this vetting and backlash he ran into from folks who really did *not understand* the core of the issue nor were providing any alternative / guidance. I've gone through his changes and dropped the patches which dropped the module license tags where an SPDX license tag was missing, it only consisted of 11 drivers. To see if a pull request deals with a file which lacks SPDX tags you can just use:
./scripts/spdxcheck.py -f \ $(git diff --name-only commid-id | xargs echo)
You'll see a core module file in this pull request for the above, but that's not related to his changes. WE just need to add the SPDX license tag for the kernel/module/kmod.c file in the future but it demonstrates the effectiveness of the script.
Most of Nick's changes were spread out through different trees, and I just picked up the slack after rc3 for the last kernel was out. Those changes have been in linux-next for over two weeks.
The cleanups, debug code I added and final fix I added for modules were motivated by David Hildenbrand's report of boot failing on a systems with over 400 CPUs when KASAN was enabled due to running out of virtual memory space. Although the functional change only consists of 3 lines in the patch "module: avoid allocation if module is already present and ready", proving that this was the best we can do on the modules side took quite a bit of effort and new debug code.
The initial cleanups I did on the modules side of things has been in linux-next since around rc3 of the last kernel, the actual final fix for and debug code however have only been in linux-next for about a week or so but I think it is worth getting that code in for this merge window as it does help fix / prove / evaluate the issues reported with larger number of CPUs. Userspace is not yet fixed as it is taking a bit of time for folks to understand the crux of the issue and find a proper resolution. Worst come to worst, I have a kludge-of-concept [3] of how to make kernel_read*() calls for modules unique / converge them, but I'm currently inclined to just see if userspace can fix this instead"

module: add debugging auto-load duplicate module support
The finit_module() system call can in the worst case use up to more than twice of a module's size in virtual memory. Duplicate finit_module() system calls are non fatal, however they unnecessarily strain virtual memory during bootup and in the worst case can cause a system to fail to boot. This is only known to currently be an issue on systems with larger number of CPUs.
To help debug this situation we need to consider the different sources for finit_module(). Requests from the kernel that rely on module auto-loading, ie, the kernel's *request_module() API, are one source of calls. Although modprobe checks to see if a module is already loaded prior to calling finit_module() there is a small race possible allowing userspace to trigger multiple modprobe calls racing against modprobe and this not seeing the module yet loaded.
This adds debugging support to the kernel module auto-loader (*request_module() calls) to easily detect duplicate module requests. To aid with possible bootup failure issues incurred by this, it will converge duplicates requests to a single request. This avoids any possible strain on virtual memory during bootup which could be incurred by duplicate module autoloading requests.
Folks debugging virtual memory abuse on bootup can and should enable this to see what pr_warn()s come on, to see if module auto-loading is to blame for their wores. If they see duplicates they can further debug this by enabling the module.enable_dups_trace kernel parameter or by enabling CONFIG_MODULE_DEBUG_AUTOLOAD_DUPS_TRACE.
Current evidence seems to point to only a few duplicates for module auto-loading. And so the source for other duplicates creating heavy virtual memory pressure due to larger number of CPUs should becoming from another place (likely udev).

module: add debug stats to help identify memory pressure
Loading modules with finit_module() can end up using vmalloc(), vmap() and vmalloc() again, for a total of up to 3 separate allocations in the worst case for a single module. We always kernel_read*() the module, that's a vmalloc(). Then vmap() is used for the module decompression, and if so the last read buffer is freed as we use the now decompressed module buffer to stuff data into our copy module. The last allocation is specific to each architectures but pretty much that's generally a series of vmalloc() calls or a variation of vmalloc to handle ELF sections with special permissions.
Evaluation with new stress-ng module support [1] with just 100 ops is proving that you can end up using GiBs of data easily even with all care we have in the kernel and userspace today in trying to not load modules which are already loaded. 100 ops seems to resemble the sort of pressure a system with about 400 CPUs can create on module loading. Although issues relating to duplicate module requests due to each CPU inucurring a new module reuest is silly and some of these are being fixed, we currently lack proper tooling to help diagnose easily what happened, when it happened and who likely is to blame -- userspace or kernel module autoloading.
Provide an initial set of stats which use debugfs to let us easily scrape post-boot information about failed loads. This sort of information can be used on production worklaods to try to optimize *avoiding* redundant memory pressure using finit_module().
There's a few examples that can be provided:
A 255 vCPU system without the next patch in this series applied:
Startup finished in 19.143s (kernel) + 7.078s (userspace) = 26.221s graphical.target reached after 6.988s in userspace
And 13.58 GiB of virtual memory space lost due to failed module loading:

The following screen shot, of a simple 8vcpu 8 GiB KVM guest with the next patch in this series applied, shows 226.53 MiB are wasted in virtual memory allocations which due to duplicate module requests during boot. It also shows an average module memory size of 167.10 KiB and an an average module .text + .init.text size of 61.13 KiB. The end shows all modules which were detected as duplicate requests and whether or not they failed early after just the first kernel_read*() call or late after we've already allocated the private space for the module in layout_and_allocate(). A system with module decompression would reveal more wasted virtual memory space.
We should put effort now into identifying the source of these duplicate module requests and trimming these down as much possible. Larger systems will obviously show much more wasted virtual memory allocations.

Merge tag 'modules-6.2-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/linux
Pull modules updates from Luis Chamberlain: "Tux gets for xmas an improvement to the average lookup performance of kallsyms_lookup_name() by 715x thanks to the work by Zhen Lei, which upgraded our old implementation from being O(n) to O(log(n)), while also retaining the old implementation support on /proc/kallsyms.
The only penalty was increasing the memory footprint by 3 * kallsyms_num_syms. Folks who want to improve this further now also have a dedicated selftest facility through KALLSYMS_SELFTEST.
Stephen Boyd added zstd in-kernel decompression support, but the only users of this would be folks using the load-pin LSM because otherwise we do module decompression in userspace.
The only other thing with mentioning is a minor boot time optimization by Rasmus Villemoes which deferes param_sysfs_init() to late init. The rest is cleanups and minor fixes"

module/decompress: Support zstd in-kernel decompression
Add support for zstd compressed modules to the in-kernel decompression code. This allows zstd compressed modules to be decompressed by the kernel, similar to the existing support for gzip and xz compressed modules.
