2016-04-30livepatch: make object/func-walking helpers more robustMiroslav Benes
Current object-walking helper checks the presence of obj->funcs to determine the end of objs array in klp_object structure. This is somewhat fragile because one can easily forget about funcs definition during livepatch creation. In such a case the livepatch module is successfully loaded and all objects after the incorrect one are omitted. This is very confusing. Let's make the helper more robust and check also for the other external member, name. Thus the helper correctly stops on an empty item of the array. We need to have a check for obj->funcs in klp_init_object() to make it work. The same applies to a func-walking helper. As a benefit we'll check for new_func member definition during the livepatch initialization. There is no such check anywhere in the code now.

2016-04-14livepatch: Allow architectures to specify an alternate ftrace locationMichael Ellerman
When livepatch tries to patch a function it takes the function address and asks ftrace to install the livepatch handler at that location. ftrace will look for an mcount call site at that exact address. On powerpc the mcount location is not the first instruction of the function, and in fact it's not at a constant offset from the start of the function. To accommodate this add a hook which arch code can override to customise the behaviour.

2016-04-01livepatch: reuse module loader code to write relocationsJessica Yu
Reuse module loader code to write relocations, thereby eliminating the need for architecture specific relocation code in livepatch. Specifically, reuse the apply_relocate_add() function in the module loader to write relocations instead of duplicating functionality in livepatch's arch-dependent klp_write_module_reloc() function. In order to accomplish this, livepatch modules manage their own relocation sections (marked with the SHF_RELA_LIVEPATCH section flag) and livepatch-specific symbols (marked with SHN_LIVEPATCH symbol section index). To apply livepatch relocation sections, livepatch symbols referenced by relocs are resolved and then apply_relocate_add() is called to apply those relocations. In addition, remove x86 livepatch relocation code and the s390 klp_write_module_reloc() function stub. They are no longer needed since relocation work has been offloaded to module loader. Lastly, mark the module as a livepatch module so that the module loader canappropriately identify and initialize it.

2016-03-17livepatch/module: remove livepatch module notifierJessica Yu
Remove the livepatch module notifier in favor of directly enabling and disabling patches to modules in the module loader. Hard-coding the function calls ensures that ftrace_module_enable() is run before klp_module_coming() during module load, and that klp_module_going() is run before ftrace_release_mod() during module unload. This way, ftrace and livepatch code is run in the correct order during the module load/unload sequence without dependence on the module notifier call chain.

It means that the current error message about the unresolvable ambiguity always prints "(2 matches)". Let's remove this information. The total number of occurrences is not much helpful.

2015-12-03livepatch: add old_sympos as disambiguator field to klp_funcChris J Arges
Currently, patching objects with duplicate symbol names fail because the creation of the sysfs function directory collides with the previous attempt. Appending old_addr to the function name is problematic as it reveals the address of the function being patch to a normal user. Using the symbol's occurrence in kallsyms to postfix the function name in the sysfs directory solves the issue of having consistent unique names and ensuring that the address is not exposed to a normal user. In addition, using the symbol position as the user's method to disambiguate symbols instead of addr allows for disambiguating symbols in modules as well for both function addresses and for relocs. This also simplifies much of the code. Special handling for kASLR is no longer needed and can be removed. The klp_find_verify_func_addr function can be replaced by klp_find_object_symbol, and klp_verify_vmlinux_symbol and its callback can be removed completely. In cases of duplicate symbols, old_sympos will be used to disambiguate instead of old_addr. By default old_sympos will be 0, and patching will only succeed if the symbol is unique. Specifying a positive value will ensure that occurrence of the symbol in kallsyms for the patched object will be used for patching if it is valid. In addition, make old_addr an internal structure field not to be specified by the user. Finally, remove klp_find_verify_func_addr as it can be replaced by klp_find_object_symbol directly. Support for symbol position disambiguation for relocations is added in the next patch in this series.

2015-05-18livepatch: Prevent patch inconsistencies if the coming module notifier failsMinfei Huang
The previous patches can be applied, once the corresponding module is loaded. In general, the patch will do relocation (if necessary) and obtain/verify function address before we start to enable patch. There are three different situations in which the coming module notifier can fail: 1) relocations are not applied for some reason. In this case kallsyms for module symbol is not called at all. The patch is not applied to the module. If the user disable and enable patch again, there is possible bug in klp_enable_func. If the user specified func->old_addr for some function in the module (and he shouldn't do that, but nevertheless) our warning would not catch it, ftrace will reject to register the handler because of wrong address or will register the handler for wrong address. 2) relocations are applied successfully, but kallsyms lookup fails. In this case func->old_addr can be correct for all previous lookups, 0 for current failed one, and "unspecified" for the rest. If we undergo the same scenario as in 1, the behaviour differs for three cases, but the patch is not enabled anyway. 3) the object is initialized, but klp_enable_object fails in the notifier due to possible ftrace error. Since it is improbable that ftrace would heal itself in the future, we would get those errors everytime the patch is enabled. In order to fix above situations, we can make obj->mod to NULL, if the coming modified notifier fails.

2015-04-29livepatch: x86: make kASLR logic more accurateJiri Kosina
We give up old_addr hint from the coming patch module in cases when kernel load base has been randomized (as in such case, the coming module has no idea about the exact randomization offset). We are currently too pessimistic, and give up immediately as soon as CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE is set; this doesn't however directly imply that the load base has actually been randomized. There are config options that disable kASLR (such as hibernation), user could have disabled kaslr on kernel command-line, etc. The loader propagates the information whether kernel has been randomized through bootparams. This allows us to have the condition more accurate. On top of that, it seems unnecessary to give up old_addr hints even if randomization is active. The relocation offset can be computed using kaslr_ofsset(), and therefore old_addr can be adjusted accordingly.

2015-03-17livepatch: Fix subtle race with coming and going modulesPetr Mladek
There is a notifier that handles live patches for coming and going modules. It takes klp_mutex lock to avoid races with coming and going patches but it does not keep the lock all the time. Therefore the following races are possible: 1. The notifier is called sometime in STATE_MODULE_COMING. The module is visible by find_module() in this state all the time. It means that new patch can be registered and enabled even before the notifier is called. It might create wrong order of stacked patches, see below for an example. 2. New patch could still see the module in the GOING state even after the notifier has been called. It will try to initialize the related object structures but the module could disappear at any time. There will stay mess in the structures. It might even cause an invalid memory access. This patch solves the problem by adding a boolean variable into struct module. The value is true after the coming and before the going handler is called. New patches need to be applied when the value is true and they need to ignore the module when the value is false. Note that we need to know state of all modules on the system. The races are related to new patches. Therefore we do not know what modules will get patched. Also note that we could not simply ignore going modules. The code from the module could be called even in the GOING state until mod->exit() finishes. If we start supporting patches with semantic changes between function calls, we need to apply new patches to any still usable code. See below for an example. Finally note that the patch solves only the situation when a new patch is registered. There are no such problems when the patch is being removed. It does not matter who disable the patch first, whether the normal disable_patch() or the module notifier. There is nothing to do once the patch is disabled. Alternative solutions: ====================== + reject new patches when a patched module is coming or going; this is ugly + wait with adding new patch until the module leaves the COMING and GOING states; this might be dangerous and complicated; we would need to release kgr_lock in the middle of the patch registration to avoid a deadlock with the coming and going handlers; also we might need a waitqueue for each module which seems to be even bigger overhead than the boolean + stop modules from entering COMING and GOING states; wait until modules leave these states when they are already there; looks complicated; we would need to ignore the module that asked to stop the others to avoid a deadlock; also it is unclear what to do when two modules asked to stop others and both are in COMING state (situation when two new patches are applied) + always register/enable new patches and fix up the potential mess (registered patches order) in klp_module_init(); this is nasty and prone to regressions in the future development + add another MODULE_STATE where the kallsyms are visible but the module is not used yet; this looks too complex; the module states are checked on "many" locations Example of patch stacking breakage: =================================== The notifier could _not_ _simply_ ignore already initialized module objects. For example, let's have three patches (P1, P2, P3) for functions a() and b() where a() is from vmcore and b() is from a module M. Something like: a() b() P1 a1() b1() P2 a2() b2() P3 a3() b3(3) If you load the module M after all patches are registered and enabled. The ftrace ops for function a() and b() has listed the functions in this order: ops_a->func_stack -> list(a3,a2,a1) ops_b->func_stack -> list(b3,b2,b1) , so the pointer to b3() is the first and will be used. Then you might have the following scenario. Let's start with state when patches P1 and P2 are registered and enabled but the module M is not loaded. Then ftrace ops for b() does not exist. Then we get into the following race: CPU0 CPU1 load_module(M) complete_formation() mod->state = MODULE_STATE_COMING; mutex_unlock(&module_mutex); klp_register_patch(P3); klp_enable_patch(P3); # STATE 1 klp_module_notify(M) klp_module_notify_coming(P1); klp_module_notify_coming(P2); klp_module_notify_coming(P3); # STATE 2 The ftrace ops for a() and b() then looks: STATE1: ops_a->func_stack -> list(a3,a2,a1); ops_b->func_stack -> list(b3); STATE2: ops_a->func_stack -> list(a3,a2,a1); ops_b->func_stack -> list(b2,b1,b3); therefore, b2() is used for the module but a3() is used for vmcore because they were the last added. Example of the race with going modules: ======================================= CPU0 CPU1 delete_module() #SYSCALL try_stop_module() mod->state = MODULE_STATE_GOING; mutex_unlock(&module_mutex); klp_register_patch() klp_enable_patch() #save place to switch universe b() # from module that is going a() # from core (patched) mod->exit(); Note that the function b() can be called until we call mod->exit(). If we do not apply patch against b() because it is in MODULE_STATE_GOING, it will call patched a() with modified semantic and things might get wrong.

2015-01-20livepatch: support for repatching a functionJosh Poimboeuf
Add support for patching a function multiple times. If multiple patches affect a function, the function in the most recently enabled patch "wins". This enables a cumulative patch upgrade path, where each patch is a superset of previous patches. This requires restructuring the data a little bit. With the current design, where each klp_func struct has its own ftrace_ops, we'd have to unregister the old ops and then register the new ops, because FTRACE_OPS_FL_IPMODIFY prevents us from having two ops registered for the same function at the same time. That would leave a regression window where the function isn't patched at all (not good for a patch upgrade path). This patch replaces the per-klp_func ftrace_ops with a global klp_ops list, with one ftrace_ops per original function. A single ftrace_ops is shared between all klp_funcs which have the same old_addr. This allows the switch between function versions to happen instantaneously by updating the klp_ops struct's func_stack list. The winner is the klp_func at the top of the func_stack (front of the list).

2015-01-09livepatch: handle ancient compilers with more graceJiri Kosina
We are aborting a build in case when gcc doesn't support fentry on x86_64 (regs->ip modification can't really reliably work with mcount). This however breaks allmodconfig for people with older gccs that don't support -mfentry. Turn the build-time failure into runtime failure, resulting in the whole infrastructure not being initialized if CC_USING_FENTRY is unset.

2014-12-22livepatch: move x86 specific ftrace handler code to arch/x86Li Bin
The execution flow redirection related implemention in the livepatch ftrace handler is depended on the specific architecture. This patch introduces klp_arch_set_pc(like kgdb_arch_set_pc) interface to change the pt_regs.

2014-12-22livepatch: kernel: add support for live patchingSeth Jennings
This commit introduces code for the live patching core. It implements an ftrace-based mechanism and kernel interface for doing live patching of kernel and kernel module functions. It represents the greatest common functionality set between kpatch and kgraft and can accept patches built using either method. This first version does not implement any consistency mechanism that ensures that old and new code do not run together. In practice, ~90% of CVEs are safe to apply in this way, since they simply add a conditional check. However, any function change that can not execute safely with the old version of the function can _not_ be safely applied in this version.
