Since commit 8b41fc44 ("kbuild: create modules.builtin without Makefile.modbuiltin or tristate.conf"), MODULE_LICENSE declarations are used to identify modules. As a consequence, uses of the macro in non-modules will cause modprobe to misidentify their containing object file as a module when it is not (false positives), and modprobe might succeed rather than failing with a suitable error message. So remove it in the files in this commit, none of which can be built as modules. Signed-off-by:

already_uses() is unnecessarily chatty. `modprobe i915` yields 491 messages like: [ 64.108744] i915 uses drm! This is a normal situation, and isn't worth all the log entries.

Luis Chamberlain authored
The setup_load_info() was actually had ELF validation checks of its own. To later cache useful variables as an secondary step just means looping again over the ELF sections we just validated. We can simply keep tabs of the key sections of interest as we validate the module ELF section in one swoop, so do that and merge the two routines together. Expand a bit on the documentation / intent / goals. Signed-off-by: -
Luis Chamberlain authored
The symbol and strings section validation currently happen in setup_load_info() but since they are also doing validity checks move this to elf_validity_check(). Signed-off-by: -
Luis Chamberlain authored
The integrity of the struct module we load is important, and although our ELF validator already checks that the module section must match struct module, add a stop-gap check before we memcpy() the final minted module. This also makes those inspecting the code what the goal is. While at it, clarify the goal behind updating the sh_addr address. The current comment is pretty misleading. Signed-off-by: -
Luis Chamberlain authored
The ELF ".gnu.linkonce.this_module" section is special, it is what we use to construct the struct module __this_module, which THIS_MODULE points to. When userspace loads a module we always deal first with a copy of the userspace buffer, and twiddle with the userspace copy's version of the struct module. Eventually we allocate memory to do a memcpy() of that struct module, under the assumption that the module size is right. But we have no validity checks against the size or the requirements for the section. Add some validity checks for the special module section early and while at it, cache the module section index early, so we don't have to do that later. While at it, just move over the assigment of the info->mod to make the code clearer. The validity checker also adds an explicit size check to ensure the module section size matches the kernel's run time size for sizeof(struct module). This should prevent sloppy loads of modules which are built today *without* actually increasing the size of the struct module. A developer today can for example expand the size of struct module, rebuild a directoroy 'make fs/xfs/' for example and then try to insmode the driver there. That module would in effect have an incorrect size. This new size check would put a stop gap against such mistakes. This also makes the entire goal of ".gnu.linkonce.this_module" pretty clear. Before this patch verification of the goal / intent required some Indian Jones whips, torches and cleaning up big old spider webs. Signed-off-by: -

Luis Chamberlain authored
It is silly to have taints spread out all over, we can just compromise and add them if the module ever hit our linked list. Our sanity checkers should just prevent crappy drivers / bogus ELF modules / etc and kconfig options should be enough to let you *not* load things you don't want. Signed-off-by: -
Luis Chamberlain authored
check_modinfo() actually does two things: a) sanity checks, some of which are fatal, and so we prevent the user from completing trying to load a module b) taints the kernel The taints are pretty heavy handed because we're tainting the kernel *before* we ever even get to load the module into the modules linked list. That is, it it can fail for other reasons later as we review the module's structure. But this commit makes no functional changes, it just makes the intent clearer and splits the code up where needed to make that happen. Signed-off-by: -
Luis Chamberlain authored
The work to taint the kernel due to a module should be split up eventually. To aid with this, split up the tainting on check_modinfo_livepatch(). This let's us bring more early checks together which do return a value, and makes changes easier to read later where we stuff all the work to do the taints in one single routine. Signed-off-by: -
Luis Chamberlain authored
The set_license() routine would seem to a reader to do some sort of setting, but it does not. It just adds a taint if the license is not set or proprietary. This makes what the code is doing clearer, so much we can remove the comment about it. Signed-off-by: -
Luis Chamberlain authored
This moves check_modinfo() to early_mod_check(). This doesn't make any functional changes either, as check_modinfo() was the first call on layout_and_allocate(), so we're just moving it back one routine and at the end. This let's us keep separate the checkers from the allocator. Signed-off-by: -
Luis Chamberlain authored
Move early sanity checkers for the module into a helper. This let's us make it clear when we are working with the local copy of the module prior to allocation. This produces no functional changes, it just makes subsequent changes easier to read. Signed-off-by: -

Luis Chamberlain authored
This makes it clearer what it is doing. While at it, make it available to other code other than main.c. This will be used in the subsequent patch and make the changes easier to read. Signed-off-by: -

Use kunmap_local() to unmap pages locally mapped with kmap_local_page(). kunmap_local() must be called on the kernel virtual address returned by kmap_local_page(), differently from how we use kunmap() which instead expects the mapped page as its argument. In module_zstd_decompress() we currently map with kmap_local_page() and unmap with kunmap(). This breaks the code and so it should be fixed.

Currently, in dynamic_debug.h we only provide DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_METADATA() and DYNAMIC_DEBUG_BRANCH() definitions if CONFIG_DYNAMIC_CORE is enabled. Thus, drivers such as infiniband srp (see: drivers/infiniband/ulp/srp/ib_srp.c) must provide their own definitions for !CONFIG_DYNAMIC_CORE. Thus, let's move this !CONFIG_DYNAMIC_CORE case into dynamic_debug.h. However, the dynamic debug interfaces should really only be defined if CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG is set or CONFIG_DYNAMIC_CORE is set along with DYNAMIC_DEBUG_MODULE, (see: Documentation/admin-guide/dynamic-debug-howto.rst). Thus, the undefined case becomes: !((CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG || (CONFIG_DYNAMIC_CORE && DYNAMIC_DEBUG_MODULE)). With those changes in place, we can remove the !CONFIG_DYNAMIC_CORE case from ib_srp.c This change was prompted by a build breakeage in ib_srp.c stemming from the inclusion of dynamic_debug.h unconditionally in module.h, due to commit 7deabd67 ("dyndbg: use the module notifier callbacks"). In that case, if we have CONFIG_DYNAMIC_CORE=y and CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=n then the definitions for DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_METADATA() and DYNAMIC_DEBUG_BRANCH() are defined once in ib_srp.c and then again in the dynamic_debug.h. This had been working prior to the above referenced commit because dynamic_debug.h was only pulled into ib_srp.c conditinally via printk.h if CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG was set. Also, the exported functions in lib/dynamic_debug.c itself may not have a prototype if CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=n and CONFIG_DYNAMIC_CORE=y. This would trigger the -Wmissing-prototypes warning. The exported functions are behind (include/linux/dynamic_debug.h): if defined(CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG) || \ (defined(CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CORE) && defined(DYNAMIC_DEBUG_MODULE)) Thus, by adding -DDYNAMIC_CONFIG_MODULE to the lib/Makefile we can ensure that the exported functions have a prototype in all cases, since lib/dynamic_debug.c is built whenever CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CORE=y.
