Some callers of execmem_alloc() require the memory to be temporarily
writable even when it is allocated from ROX cache. These callers use
execemem_make_temp_rw() right after the call to execmem_alloc().
Wrap this sequence in execmem_alloc_rw() API.

The variable last_unloaded_module::name tracks the name of the last
unloaded module. It is a string copy of module::name, which is
MODULE_NAME_LEN bytes in size and includes the NUL terminator. Therefore,
the size of last_unloaded_module::name can also be just MODULE_NAME_LEN,
without the need for an extra byte.

Passing a module name longer than MODULE_NAME_LEN to the delete_module
syscall results in its silent truncation. This really isn't much of
a problem in practice, but it could theoretically lead to the removal of an
incorrect module. It is more sensible to return ENAMETOOLONG or ENOENT in
such a case.
Update the syscall to return ENOENT, as documented in the delete_module(2)
man page to mean "No module by that name exists." This is appropriate
because a module with a name longer than MODULE_NAME_LEN cannot be loaded
in the first place.

The struct was moved to the public header file in commit c8e21ced08b3
("module: fix kdb's illicit use of struct module_use.").
Back then the structure was used outside of the module core.
Nowadays this is not true anymore, so the structure can be made internal.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace
Pull ftrace updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Keep track of when fgraph_ops are registered or not
Keep accounting of when fgraph_ops are registered as if a fgraph_ops
is registered twice it can mess up the accounting and it will not
work as expected later. Trigger a warning if something registers it
twice as to catch bugs before they are found by things just not
working as expected.
- Make DYNAMIC_FTRACE always enabled for architectures that support it
As static ftrace (where all functions are always traced) is very
expensive and only exists to help architectures support ftrace, do
not make it an option. As soon as an architecture supports
DYNAMIC_FTRACE make it use it. This simplifies the code.
- Remove redundant config HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD
The CONFIG_HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT was added to help simplify the
DYNAMIC_FTRACE work, but now every architecture that implements
DYNAMIC_FTRACE also has HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT set too, making it
redundant with the HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE.
- Make pid_ptr string size match the comment
In print_graph_proc() the pid_ptr string is of size 11, but the
comment says /* sign + log10(MAX_INT) + '\0' */ which is actually 12.

subsys
Move module sysctl (modprobe_path and modules_disabled) out of sysctl.c
and into the modules subsystem. Make modules_disabled static as it no
longer needs to be exported. Remove module.h from the includes in sysctl
as it no longer uses any module exported variables.
This is part of a greater effort to move ctl tables into their
respective subsystems which will reduce the merge conflicts in
kernel/sysctl.c.

Ftrace is tightly coupled with architecture specific code because it
requires the use of trampolines written in assembly. This means that when
a new feature or optimization is made, it must be done for all
architectures. To simplify the approach, CONFIG_HAVE_FTRACE_* configs are
added to denote which architecture has the new enhancement so that other
architectures can still function until they too have been updated.
The CONFIG_HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT was added to help simplify the
DYNAMIC_FTRACE work, but now every architecture that implements
DYNAMIC_FTRACE also has HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT set too, making it redundant
with the HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE.
Remove the HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT config and use DYNAMIC_FTRACE directly where
applicable.

The per-CPU data section is handled differently than the other sections.
The memory allocations requires a special __percpu pointer and then the
section is copied into the view of each CPU. Therefore the SHF_ALLOC
flag is removed to ensure move_module() skips it.
Later, relocations are applied and apply_relocations() skips sections
without SHF_ALLOC because they have not been copied. This also skips the
per-CPU data section.
The missing relocations result in a NULL pointer on x86-64 and very
small values on x86-32. This results in a crash because it is not
skipped like NULL pointer would and can't be dereferenced.
Such an assignment happens during static per-CPU lock initialisation
with lockdep enabled.
Allow relocation processing for the per-CPU section even if SHF_ALLOC is
missing.

The function move_module() uses the variable t to track how many memory
types it has allocated and consequently how many should be freed if an
error occurs.
The variable is initially set to 0 and is updated when a call to
module_memory_alloc() fails. However, move_module() can fail for other
reasons as well, in which case t remains set to 0 and no memory is freed.
Fix the problem by initializing t to MOD_MEM_NUM_TYPES. Additionally, make
the deallocation loop more robust by not relying on the mod_mem_type_t enum
having a signed integer as its underlying type.

Failures inside codetag_load_module() are currently ignored. As a result
an error there would not cause a module load failure and freeing of the
associated resources. Correct this behavior by propagating the error code
to the caller and handling possible errors. With this change, error to
allocate percpu counters, which happens at this stage, will not be ignored
and will cause a module load failure and freeing of resources. With this
change we also do not need to disable memory allocation profiling when
this error happens, instead we fail to load the module.

When module load fails after memory for codetag section is ready, codetag
section memory will not be properly released. This causes memory leak,
and if next module load happens to get the same module address, codetag
may pick the uninitialized section when manipulating tags during module
unload, and leads to "unable to handle page fault" BUG.

Section .static_call_sites holds data structures that need to be sorted and
processed only at module load time. This initial processing happens in
static_call_add_module(), which is invoked as a callback to the
MODULE_STATE_COMING notification from prepare_coming_module().
The section is never modified afterwards. Make it therefore read-only after
module initialization to avoid any (non-)accidental modifications.

initialization into a separate function, along other related code in
strict_rwx.c. Use a table with names of such sections to make it easier to

With CONFIG_GENDWARFKSYMS, __gendwarfksyms_ptr variables are
added to the kernel in EXPORT_SYMBOL() to ensure DWARF type
information is available for exported symbols in the TUs where
they're actually exported. These symbols are dropped when linking
vmlinux, but dangling references to them remain in DWARF.
With CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF enabled on X86, pahole versions after
commit 47dcb534e253 ("btf_encoder: Stop indexing symbols for
VARs") and before commit 9810758003ce ("btf_encoder: Verify 0
address DWARF variables are in ELF section") place these symbols
in the .data..percpu section, which results in an "Invalid
offset" error in btf_datasec_check_meta() during boot, as all
the variables are at zero offset and have non-zero size. If
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF_MODULES is enabled, this also results in a
failure to load modules with:
failed to validate module [$module] BTF: -22
As the issue occurs in pahole v1.28 and the fix was merged
after v1.29 was released, require pahole <v1.28 or >v1.29 when
GENDWARFKSYMS is enabled with DEBUG_INFO_BTF on X86.

Pull ring-buffer updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Restructure the persistent memory to have a "scratch" area
Instead of hard coding the KASLR offset in the persistent memory by
the ring buffer, push that work up to the callers of the persistent
memory as they are the ones that need this information. The offsets
and such is not important to the ring buffer logic and it should not
be part of that.
A scratch pad is now created when the caller allocates a ring buffer
from persistent memory by stating how much memory it needs to save.
- Allow where modules are loaded to be saved in the new scratch pad
Save the addresses of modules when they are loaded into the
persistent memory scratch pad.
- A new module_for_each_mod() helper function was created
With the acknowledgement of the module maintainers a new module
helper function was created to iterate over all the currently loaded
modules. This has a callback to be called for each module. This is
needed for when tracing is started in the persistent buffer and the
currently loaded modules need to be saved in the scratch area.
- Expose the last boot information where the kernel and modules were
loaded
The last_boot_info file is updated to print out the addresses of
where the kernel "_text" location was loaded from a previous boot, as
well as where the modules are loaded. If the buffer is recording the
current boot, it only prints "# Current" so that it does not expose
the KASLR offset of the currently running kernel.
- Allow the persistent ring buffer to be released (freed)
To have this in production environments, where the kernel command
line can not be changed easily, the ring buffer needs to be freed
when it is not going to be used. The memory for the buffer will
always be allocated at boot up, but if the system isn't going to
enable tracing, the memory needs to be freed. Allow it to be freed
and added back to the kernel memory pool.
- Allow stack traces to print the function names in the persistent
buffer
Now that the modules are saved in the persistent ring buffer, if the
same modules are loaded, the printing of the function names will
examine the saved modules. If the module is found in the scratch area
and is also loaded, then it will do the offset shift and use kallsyms
to display the function name. If the address is not found, it simply
displays the address from the previous boot in hex.

The tracing system needs a way to save all the currently loaded modules
and their addresses into persistent memory so that it can evaluate the
addresses on a reboot from a crash. When the persistent memory trace
starts, it will load the module addresses and names into the persistent
memory. To do so, it will call the module_for_each_mod() function and pass
it a function and data structure to get called on each loaded module. Then
it can record the memory.
This only implements that function.

search_module_extables() returns an exception_table_entry belonging to a
module. The lookup via __module_address() can be performed with RCU
protection.
The returned exception_table_entry remains valid because the passed
address usually belongs to a module that is currently executed. So the
module can not be removed because "something else" holds a reference to
it, ensuring that it can not be removed.
Exceptions here are:
- kprobe, acquires a reference on the module beforehand
- MCE, invokes the function from within a timer and the RCU lifetime
guarantees (of the timer) are sufficient.
Therefore it is safe to return the exception_table_entry outside the RCU
section which provided the module.
Use RCU for the lookup in search_module_extables() and update the
comment.

add_kallsyms() assigns the RCU pointer module::kallsyms and setups the
structures behind it which point to init-data. The module was not
published yet, nothing can see the kallsyms pointer and the data behind
it. Also module's init function was not yet invoked.
There is no need to use rcu_dereference() here, it is just to keep
checkers quiet. The whole RCU read section is also not needed.
Use a local kallsyms pointer and setup the data structures. Assign that
pointer to the data structure at the end via rcu_assign_pointer().

The RCU usage in module was introduced in commit d72b37513cdfb ("Remove
stop_machine during module load v2") and it claimed not to be RCU but
similar. Then there was another improvement in commit e91defa26c527
("module: don't use stop_machine on module load"). It become a mix of
RCU and RCU-sched and was eventually fixed 0be964be0d450 ("module:
Sanitize RCU usage and locking"). Later RCU & RCU-sched was merged in
commit cb2f55369d3a9 ("modules: Replace synchronize_sched() and
call_rcu_sched()") so that was aligned.
Looking at it today, there is still leftovers. The preempt_disable() was
used instead rcu_read_lock_sched(). The RCU & RCU-sched merge was not
complete as there is still rcu_dereference_sched() for module::kallsyms.
The RCU-list modules and unloaded_tainted_modules are always accessed
under RCU protection or the module_mutex. The modules list iteration can
always happen safely because the module will not disappear.
Once the module is removed (free_module()) then after removing the
module from the list, there is a synchronize_rcu() which waits until
every RCU reader left the section. That means iterating over the list
within a RCU-read section is enough, there is no need to disable
preemption. module::kallsyms is first assigned in add_kallsyms() before
the module is added to the list. At this point, it points to init data.
This pointer is later updated and before the init code is removed there
is also synchronize_rcu() in do_free_init(). That means A RCU read lock
is enough for protection and rcu_dereference() can be safely used.
Convert module code and its users step by step. Update comments and
convert print_modules() to use RCU.
