Linus observed that the symbol_request(utf8_data_table) call fails when
CONFIG_UNICODE=y and CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS=y.
symbol_get() relies on the symbol data being present in the ksymtab for
symbol lookups. However, EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(utf8_data_table) is dropped
due to CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS, as no module references it in this case.
Probably, this has been broken since commit dbacb0ef670d ("kconfig option
for TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS").
This commit addresses the issue by leveraging modpost. Symbol names
passed to symbol_get() are recorded in the special .no_trim_symbol
section, which is then parsed by modpost to forcibly keep such symbols.
The .no_trim_symbol section is discarded by the linker scripts, so there
is no impact on the size of the final vmlinux or modules.
This commit cannot resolve the issue for direct calls to __symbol_get()
because the symbol name is not known at compile-time.
Although symbol_get() may eventually be deprecated, this workaround
should be good enough meanwhile.

These structs are never modified, move them to read-only memory.
This makes the API clearer and also prepares for the constification of
'struct attribute' itself.
While at it, also constify 'modinfo_attrs_count'.

A livepatch module can contain a special relocation section
.klp.rela.<objname>.<secname> to apply its relocations at the appropriate
time and to additionally access local and unexported symbols. When
<objname> points to another module, such relocations are processed
separately from the regular module relocation process. For instance, only
when the target <objname> actually becomes loaded.
With CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX, when the livepatch core decides to apply
these relocations, their processing results in the following bug:

The problem is that the .klp.rela.<objname>.<secname> relocations are
processed after the module was already formed and mod->rw_copy was reset.
However, the code in __write_relocate_add() calls
module_writable_address() which translates the target address 'loc' still
to 'loc + (mem->rw_copy - mem->base)', with mem->rw_copy now being 0.
Fix the problem by returning directly 'loc' in module_writable_address()
when the module is already formed. Function __write_relocate_add() knows
to use text_poke() in such a case.

Commit 71810db27c1c ("modversions: treat symbol CRCs as 32 bit
quantities") changed the CRC fields to s32 because the __kcrctab and
__kcrctab_gpl sections contained relative references to the actual
CRC values stored in the .rodata section when CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS=y.
Commit 7b4537199a4a ("kbuild: link symbol CRCs at final link, removing
CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS") removed this complexity. Now, the __kcrctab
and __kcrctab_gpl sections directly contain the CRC values in all cases.
The genksyms tool outputs unsigned 32-bit CRC values, so u32 is preferred
over s32.
No functional changes are intended.
Regardless of this change, the CRC value is assigned to the u32 variable
'crcval' before the comparison, as seen in kernel/module/version.c:
crcval = *crc;
It was previously mandatory (but now optional) in order to avoid sign
extension because the following line previously compared 'unsigned long'
and 's32':
if (versions[i].crc == crcval)
return 1;
versions[i].crc is still 'unsigned long' for backward compatibility.

In order to support ROX allocations for module text, it is necessary to
handle modifications to the code, such as relocations and alternatives
patching, without write access to that memory.
One option is to use text patching, but this would make module loading
extremely slow and will expose executable code that is not finally formed.
A better way is to have memory allocated with ROX permissions contain
invalid instructions and keep a writable, but not executable copy of the
module text. The relocations and alternative patches would be done on the
writable copy using the addresses of the ROX memory. Once the module is
completely ready, the updated text will be copied to ROX memory using text
patching in one go and the writable copy will be freed.
Add support for that to module initialization code and provide necessary
interfaces in execmem.

4) Batch of riscv64 BPF JIT improvements in particular to add 12-argument support
for BPF trampolines and to utilize bpf_prog_pack for the latter, from Pu Lehui.
5) Extend BPF test infrastructure to add a CHECKSUM_COMPLETE validation option
for skbs and add coverage along with it, from Vadim Fedorenko.
6) Inline bpf_get_current_task/_btf() helpers in the arm64 BPF JIT which gives
a small 1% performance improvement in micro-benchmarks, from Puranjay Mohan.
7) Extend the BPF verifier to track the delta between linked registers in order
to better deal with recent LLVM code optimizations, from Alexei Starovoitov.
8) Fix bpf_wq_set_callback_impl() kfunc signature where the third argument should
have been a pointer to the map value, from Benjamin Tissoires.
9) Extend BPF selftests to add regular expression support for test output matching
and adjust some of the selftest when compiled under gcc, from Cupertino Miranda.
10) Simplify task_file_seq_get_next() and remove an unnecessary loop which always
iterates exactly once anyway, from Dan Carpenter.
11) Add the capability to offload the netfilter flowtable in XDP layer through
kfuncs, from Florian Westphal & Lorenzo Bianconi.
12) Various cleanups in networking helpers in BPF selftests to shave off a few
lines of open-coded functions on client/server handling, from Geliang Tang.
13) Properly propagate prog->aux->tail_call_reachable out of BPF verifier, so
that x86 JIT does not need to implement detection, from Leon Hwang.
14) Fix BPF verifier to add a missing check_func_arg_reg_off() to prevent an
out-of-bounds memory access for dynpointers, from Matt Bobrowski.
15) Fix bpf_session_cookie() kfunc to return __u64 instead of long pointer as
it might lead to problems on 32-bit archs, from Jiri Olsa.
16) Enhance traffic validation and dynamic batch size support in xsk selftests,
from Tushar Vyavahare.

It has been seen that for some network mac drivers (i.e. lan78xx) the
related module for the phy is loaded dynamically depending on the current
hardware. In this case, the associated phy is read using mdio bus and then
the associated phy module is loaded during runtime (kernel function
phy_request_driver_module). However, no software dependency is defined, so
the user tools will no be able to get this dependency. For example, if
dracut is used and the hardware is present, lan78xx will be included but no
phy module will be added, and in the next restart the device will not work
from boot because no related phy will be found during initramfs stage.
In order to solve this, we could define a normal 'pre' software dependency
in lan78xx module with all the possible phy modules (there may be some),
but proceeding in that way, all the possible phy modules would be loaded
while only one is necessary.
The idea is to create a new type of dependency, that we are going to call
'weak' to be used only by the user tools that need to detect this situation.
In that way, for example, dracut could check the 'weak' dependency of the
modules involved in order to install these dependencies in initramfs too.
That is, for the commented lan78xx module, defining the 'weak' dependency
with the possible phy modules list, only the necessary phy would be loaded
on demand keeping the same behavior, but all the possible phy modules would
be available from initramfs.
The 'weak' dependency support has been included in kmod:
https://github.com/kmod-project/kmod/commit/05828b4a6e9327a63ef94df544a042b5e9ce4fe7
But, take into account that this can only be used if depmod is new enough.
If it isn't, depmod will have the same behavior as always (keeping backward
compatibility) and the information for the 'weak' dependency will not be
provided.

Building with W=1 in some configurations produces a false positive
warning for kallsyms:
kernel/kallsyms.c: In function '__sprint_symbol.isra':
kernel/kallsyms.c:503:17: error: 'strcpy' source argument is the same as destination [-Werror=restrict]
503 | strcpy(buffer, name);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This originally showed up while building with -O3, but later started
happening in other configurations as well, depending on inlining
decisions. The underlying issue is that the local 'name' variable is
always initialized to the be the same as 'buffer' in the called functions
that fill the buffer, which gcc notices while inlining, though it could
see that the address check always skips the copy.
The calling conventions here are rather unusual, as all of the internal
lookup functions (bpf_address_lookup, ftrace_mod_address_lookup,
ftrace_func_address_lookup, module_address_lookup and
kallsyms_lookup_buildid) already use the provided buffer and either return
the address of that buffer to indicate success, or NULL for failure,
but the callers are written to also expect an arbitrary other buffer
to be returned.
Rework the calling conventions to return the length of the filled buffer
instead of its address, which is simpler and easier to follow as well
as avoiding the warning. Leave only the kallsyms_lookup() calling conventions
unchanged, since that is called from 16 different functions and
adapting this would be a much bigger change.

...as this will allow split BTF modules with a base BTF
representation (rather than the full vmlinux BTF at time of
BTF encoding) to resolve their references to kernel types in a
way that is more resilient to small changes in kernel types.
This will allow modules that are not built every time the kernel
is to provide more resilient BTF, rather than have it invalidated
every time BTF ids for core kernel types change.
Fields are ordered to avoid holes in struct module.

kprobes depended on CONFIG_MODULES because it has to allocate memory for
code.
Since code allocations are now implemented with execmem, kprobes can be
enabled in non-modular kernels.
Add #ifdef CONFIG_MODULE guards for the code dealing with kprobes inside
modules, make CONFIG_KPROBES select CONFIG_EXECMEM and drop the
dependency of CONFIG_KPROBES on CONFIG_MODULES.

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"

BPF programs to netfilter hooks such as prerouting or forward
- Add more precise memory usage reporting for all BPF map types
- Adds support for using {FOU,GUE} encap with an ipip device
operating in collect_md mode and add a set of BPF kfuncs for
controlling encap params
- Allow BPF programs to detect at load time whether a particular
kfunc exists or not, and also add support for this in light
skeleton
- Bigger batch of BPF verifier improvements to prepare for upcoming
BPF open-coded iterators allowing for less restrictive looping
capabilities
- Rework RCU enforcement in the verifier, add kptr_rcu and enforce
BPF programs to NULL-check before passing such pointers into kfunc
- Add support for kptrs in percpu hashmaps, percpu LRU hashmaps and
in local storage maps
- Enable RCU semantics for task BPF kptrs and allow referenced kptr
tasks to be stored in BPF maps
- Add support for refcounted local kptrs to the verifier for allowing
shared ownership, useful for adding a node to both the BPF list and
rbtree
- Add BPF verifier support for ST instructions in
convert_ctx_access() which will help new -mcpu=v4 clang flag to
start emitting them
- Add ARM32 USDT support to libbpf
- Improve bpftool's visual program dump which produces the control
flow graph in a DOT format by adding C source inline annotations
Protocols:
- IPv4: Allow adding to IPv4 address a 'protocol' tag. Such value
indicates the provenance of the IP address
- IPv6: optimize route lookup, dropping unneeded R/W lock acquisition
- Add the handshake upcall mechanism, allowing the user-space to
implement generic TLS handshake on kernel's behalf
- Bridge: support per-{Port, VLAN} neighbor suppression, increasing
resilience to nodes failures
- SCTP: add support for Fair Capacity and Weighted Fair Queueing
schedulers

instead of being bridged
- Update bridge netfilter and ovs conntrack helpers to handle IPv6
Jumbo packets properly, i.e. fetch the packet length from
hop-by-hop extension header. This is needed for BIT TCP support
- The iptables 32bit compat interface isn't compiled in by default
anymore
- Move ip(6)tables builtin icmp matches to the udptcp one. This has
the advantage that icmp/icmpv6 match doesn't load the
iptables/ip6tables modules anymore when iptables-nft is used
- Extended netlink error report for netdevice in flowtables and
netdev/chains. Allow for incrementally add/delete devices to netdev
basechain. Allow to create netdev chain without device
Driver API:
- Remove redundant Device Control Error Reporting Enable, as PCI core
has already error reporting enabled at enumeration time

There is quite a bit of tribal knowledge around proper use of try_module_get()
and requiring *somehow* the module to still exist to use this call in a way
that is safe. Document this bit of tribal knowledge. To be clear, you should
only use try_module_get() *iff* you are 100% sure the module already does
exist and is not on its way out.
You can be sure the module still exists and is alive through:
1) Direct protection with its refcount: you know some earlier caller called
__module_get() safely
2) Implied protection: there is an implied protection against module removal
Having an idea of when you are sure __module_get() might be called earlier is
easy to understand however the implied protection requires an example. We use
sysfs an an example for implied protection without a direct module reference
count bump. kernfs / sysfs uses its own internal reference counting for files
being actively used, when such file are active they completely prevent
the module from being removed. kernfs protects this with its kernfs_active().
Effort has been put into verifying the kernfs implied protection works by
using a currently out-of-tree test_sysfs selftest test #32 [0]:
./tools/testing/selftests/sysfs/sysfs.sh -t 0032
Without kernfs / sysfs preventing module removal through its active reference
count (kernfs_active()) the write would fail or worse, a crash would happen in
this test and it does not.
Similar safeguards are required for other users of try_module_get() *iff*
they are not ensuring the above rule 1) is followed.

Bring dynamic debug in line with other subsystems by using the module
notifier callbacks. This results in a net decrease in core module
code.
Additionally, Jim Cromie has a new dynamic debug classmap feature,
which requires that jump labels be initialized prior to dynamic debug.
Specifically, the new feature toggles a jump label from the existing
dynamic_debug_setup() function. However, this does not currently work
properly, because jump labels are initialized via the
'module_notify_list' notifier chain, which is invoked after the
current call to dynamic_debug_setup(). Thus, this patch ensures that
jump labels are initialized prior to dynamic debug by setting the
dynamic debug notifier priority to 0, while jump labels have the
higher priority of 1.
Tested by Jim using his new test case, and I've verfied the correct
printing via: # modprobe test_dynamic_debug dyndbg.

module_layout manages different types of memory (text, data, rodata, etc.)
in one allocation, which is problematic for some reasons:
1. It is hard to enable CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX.
2. It is hard to use huge pages in modules (and not break strict rwx).
3. Many archs uses module_layout for arch-specific data, but it is not
obvious how these data are used (are they RO, RX, or RW?)
Improve the scenario by replacing 2 (or 3) module_layout per module with
up to 7 module_memory per module:
MOD_TEXT,
MOD_DATA,
MOD_RODATA,
MOD_RO_AFTER_INIT,
MOD_INIT_TEXT,
MOD_INIT_DATA,
MOD_INIT_RODATA,
and allocating them separately. This adds slightly more entries to
mod_tree (from up to 3 entries per module, to up to 7 entries per
module). However, this at most adds a small constant overhead to
__module_address(), which is expected to be fast.
Various archs use module_layout for different data. These data are put
into different module_memory based on their location in module_layout.
IOW, data that used to go with text is allocated with MOD_MEM_TYPE_TEXT;
data that used to go with data is allocated with MOD_MEM_TYPE_DATA, etc.
module_memory simplifies quite some of the module code. For example,
ARCH_WANTS_MODULES_DATA_IN_VMALLOC is a lot cleaner, as it just uses a
different allocator for the data. kernel/module/strict_rwx.c is also
much cleaner with module_memory.

Pull modules updates from Luis Chamberlain:
"Nothing exciting at all for modules for v6.3.
The biggest change is just the change of INSTALL_MOD_DIR from "extra"
to "updates" which I found lingered for ages for no good reason while
testing the CXL mock driver [0].
The CXL mock driver has no kconfig integration and requires building
an external module... and re-building the *rest* of the production
drivers. This mock driver when loaded but not the production ones will
crash.
All this can obviously be fixed by integrating kconfig semantics into
such test module, however that's not desirable by the maintainer, and
so sensible defaults must be used to ensure a default "make
modules_install" will suffice for most distros which do not have a
file like /etc/depmod.d/dist.conf with something like `search updates
extra built-in`.
Since most distros rely on kmod and since its inception the "updates"
directory is always in the search path it makes more sense to use that
than the "extra" which only *some* RH based systems rely on.
All this stuff has been on linux-next for a while"

Currently we traverse all symbols of all modules to find the specified
function for the specified module. But in reality, we just need to find
the given module and then traverse all the symbols in it.
Let's add a new parameter 'const char *modname' to function
module_kallsyms_on_each_symbol(), then we can compare the module names
directly in this function and call hook 'fn' after matching. If 'modname'
is NULL, the symbols of all modules are still traversed for compatibility
with other usage cases.
Phase1: mod1-->mod2..(subsequent modules do not need to be compared)
|
Phase2: -->f1-->f2-->f3
Assuming that there are m modules, each module has n symbols on average,
then the time complexity is reduced from O(m * n) to O(m) + O(n).

We currently store kunit suites in the .kunit_test_suites ELF section as
a `struct kunit_suite***` (modulo some `const`s).
For every test file, we store a struct kunit_suite** NULL-terminated array.
This adds quite a bit of complexity to the test filtering code in the
executor.
Instead, let's just make the .kunit_test_suites section contain a single
giant array of struct kunit_suite pointers, which can then be directly
manipulated. This array is not NULL-terminated, and so none of the test
filtering code needs to NULL-terminate anything.

Currently, KUnit runs built-in tests and tests loaded from modules
differently. For built-in tests, the kunit_test_suite{,s}() macro adds a
list of suites in the .kunit_test_suites linker section. However, for
kernel modules, a module_init() function is used to run the test suites.
This causes problems if tests are included in a module which already
defines module_init/exit_module functions, as they'll conflict with the
kunit-provided ones.
This change removes the kunit-defined module inits, and instead parses
the kunit tests from their own section in the module. After module init,
we call __kunit_test_suites_init() on the contents of that section,
which prepares and runs the suite.
This essentially unifies the module- and non-module kunit init formats.

"The biggest change here is in-kernel support for module decompression.
This change is being made to help support LSMs like LoadPin as
otherwise it loses link between the source of kernel module on the
disk and binary blob that is being loaded into the kernel.
kmod decompression is still done by userspace even with this is done,
both because there are no measurable gains in not doing so and as it
adds a secondary extra check for validating the module before loading
it into the kernel.
The rest of the changes are minor, the only other change worth
mentionin there is Jessica Yu is now bowing out of maintenance of
modules as she's taking a break from work.
While there were other changes posted for modules, those have not yet

3. Do something based on this classification (like scheduling a
remediation for the machine), rinse, and repeat.
As a couple of examples of places we have this implemented just inside
Facebook, although this isn't a Facebook-specific problem, we have this
inside our netconsole processing (for alarm classification), and as part
of our machine health checking. We use these messages to determine
fairly important metrics around production health, and it's important
that we get them right.
While for some kinds of issues we have counters, tracepoints, or metrics
with a stable interface which can reliably indicate the issue, in order
to react to production issues quickly we need to work with the interface
which most kernel developers naturally use when developing: printk.
Most production issues come from unexpected phenomena, and as such
usually the code in question doesn't have easily usable tracepoints or
other counters available for the specific problem being mitigated. We
have a number of lines of monitoring defence against problems in
production (host metrics, process metrics, service metrics, etc), and
where it's not feasible to reliably monitor at another level, this kind
of pragmatic netconsole monitoring is essential.
As one would expect, monitoring using printk is rather brittle for a
number of reasons -- most notably that the message might disappear
entirely in a new version of the kernel, or that the message may change
in some way that the regex or other classification methods start to
silently fail.
One factor that makes this even harder is that, under normal operation,
many of these messages are never expected to be hit. For example, there
may be a rare hardware bug which one wants to detect if it was to ever
happen again, but its recurrence is not likely or anticipated. This
precludes using something like checking whether the printk in question
was printed somewhere fleetwide recently to determine whether the
message in question is still present or not, since we don't anticipate
that it should be printed anywhere, but still need to monitor for its
future presence in the long-term.
This class of issue has happened on a number of occasions, causing
unhealthy machines with hardware issues to remain in production for
longer than ideal. As a recent example, some monitoring around
blk_update_request fell out of date and caused semi-broken machines to
remain in production for longer than would be desirable.
Searching through the codebase to find the message is also extremely
fragile, because many of the messages are further constructed beyond
their callsite (eg. btrfs_printk and other module-specific wrappers,
each with their own functionality). Even if they aren't, guessing the
format and formulation of the underlying message based on the aesthetics
of the message emitted is not a recipe for success at scale, and our
previous issues with fleetwide machine health checking demonstrate as
much.
This provides a solution to the issue of silently changed or deleted
printks: we record pointers to all printk format strings known at
compile time into a new .printk_index section, both in vmlinux and
modules. At runtime, this can then be iterated by looking at
<debugfs>/printk/index/<module>, which emits the following format, both
readable by humans and able to be parsed by machines:
$ head -1 vmlinux; shuf -n 5 vmlinux
# <level[,flags]> filename:line function "format"
<5> block/blk-settings.c:661 disk_stack_limits "%s: Warning: Device %s is misaligned\n"
<4> kernel/trace/trace.c:8296 trace_create_file "Could not create tracefs '%s' entry\n"
<6> arch/x86/kernel/hpet.c:144 _hpet_print_config "hpet: %s(%d):\n"
<6> init/do_mounts.c:605 prepare_namespace "Waiting for root device %s...\n"
<6> drivers/acpi/osl.c:1410 acpi_no_auto_serialize_setup "ACPI: auto-serialization disabled\n"
This mitigates the majority of cases where we have a highly-specific
printk which we want to match on, as we can now enumerate and check
whether the format changed or the printk callsite disappeared entirely
in userspace. This allows us to catch changes to printks we monitor
earlier and decide what to do about it before it becomes problematic.
There is no additional runtime cost for printk callers or printk itself,
and the assembly generated is exactly the same.
