modpost: detect section mismatch for R_ARM_REL32
For ARM, modpost fails to detect some types of section mismatches.
[test code]
.section .init.data,"aw"
bar:
.long 0
.section .data,"aw"
.globl foo
foo:
.long bar - .
It is apparently a bad reference, but modpost does not report anything.
The test code above produces the following relocations.
Relocation section '.rel.data' at offset 0xe8 contains 1 entry:
Offset Info Type Sym.Value Sym. Name
00000000 00000403 R_ARM_REL32 00000000 .init.data
Currently, R_ARM_REL32 is just skipped.
Handle it like R_ARM_ABS32.

If you compile it with CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL=y, modpost will show the
symbol name, (unknown).
WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o: section mismatch in reference: foo (section: .text) -> (unknown) (section: .init.text)
(You need to use GNU linker instead of LLD to reproduce it.)
Fix the code to make modpost show the correct symbol name. I checked
arch/arm/kernel/module.c to learn the encoding of R_ARM_THM_CALL and
R_ARM_THM_JUMP24. The module does not support R_ARM_THM_JUMP19, but
I checked its encoding in ARM ARM.
The '+4' is the compensation for pc-relative instruction. It is
documented in "ELF for the Arm Architecture" [1].
"If the relocation is pc-relative then compensation for the PC bias
(the PC value is 8 bytes ahead of the executing instruction in Arm
state and 4 bytes in Thumb state) must be encoded in the relocation
by the object producer."

modpost: detect section mismatch for R_ARM_THM_{MOVW_ABS_NC,MOVT_ABS}
When CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL is enabled, modpost fails to detect some
types of section mismatches.
[test code]
#include <linux/init.h>
int __initdata foo;
int get_foo(void) { return foo; }
It is apparently a bad reference, but modpost does not report anything.
The test code above produces the following relocations.
Relocation section '.rel.text' at offset 0x1e8 contains 2 entries:
Offset Info Type Sym.Value Sym. Name
00000000 0000052f R_ARM_THM_MOVW_AB 00000000 .LANCHOR0
00000004 00000530 R_ARM_THM_MOVT_AB 00000000 .LANCHOR0
Currently, R_ARM_THM_MOVW_ABS_NC and R_ARM_THM_MOVT_ABS are just skipped.
Add code to handle them. I checked arch/arm/kernel/module.c to learn
how the offset is encoded in the instruction.
One more thing to note for Thumb instructions - the st_value is an odd
value, so you need to mask the bit 0 to get the offset. Otherwise, you
will get an off-by-one error in the nearest symbol look-up.
It is documented in "ELF for the ARM Architecture" [1]:
In addition to the normal rules for symbol values the following rules
shall also apply to symbols of type STT_FUNC:
* If the symbol addresses an Arm instruction, its value is the
address of the instruction (in a relocatable object, the offset
of the instruction from the start of the section containing it).
* If the symbol addresses a Thumb instruction, its value is the
address of the instruction with bit zero set (in a relocatable
object, the section offset with bit zero set).
* For the purposes of relocation the value used shall be the address
of the instruction (st_value & ~1).

modpost: refactor find_fromsym() and find_tosym()
find_fromsym() and find_tosym() are similar - both of them iterate in the .symtab section and return the nearest symbol. The difference between them is that find_tosym() allows a negative distance, but the distance must be less than 20. Factor out the common part into find_nearest_sym().

modpost: detect section mismatch for R_ARM_{MOVW_ABS_NC,MOVT_ABS}
For ARM defconfig (i.e. multi_v7_defconfig), modpost fails to detect
some types of section mismatches.
[test code]
#include <linux/init.h>
int __initdata foo;
int get_foo(void) { return foo; }
It is apparently a bad reference, but modpost does not report anything.
The test code above produces the following relocations.
Relocation section '.rel.text' at offset 0x200 contains 2 entries:

Currently, R_ARM_MOVW_ABS_NC and R_ARM_MOVT_ABS are just skipped.
Add code to handle them. I checked arch/arm/kernel/module.c to learn
how the offset is encoded in the instruction.
The referenced symbol in relocation might be a local anchor.
If is_valid_name() returns false, let's search for a better symbol name.

modpost: fix section mismatch message for R_ARM_ABS32
addend_arm_rel() processes R_ARM_ABS32 in a wrong way.
Here, test code.
[test code 1]
#include <linux/init.h>
int __initdata foo;
int get_foo(void) { return foo; }
If you compile it with ARM versatile_defconfig, modpost will show the
symbol name, (unknown).
WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o: section mismatch in reference: get_foo (section: .text) -> (unknown) (section: .init.data)

If you compile it for other architectures, modpost will show the correct
symbol name.
WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o: section mismatch in reference: get_foo (section: .text) -> foo (section: .init.data)
For R_ARM_ABS32, addend_arm_rel() sets r->r_addend to a wrong value.
I just mimicked the code in arch/arm/kernel/module.c.
However, there is more difficulty for ARM.
Here, test code.
[test code 2]
#include <linux/init.h>
int __initdata foo;
int get_foo(void) { return foo; }
int __initdata bar;
int get_bar(void) { return bar; }
With this commit applied, modpost will show the following messages
for ARM versatile_defconfig:
WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o: section mismatch in reference: get_foo (section: .text) -> foo (section: .init.data)
WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o: section mismatch in reference: get_bar (section: .text) -> foo (section: .init.data)
The reference from 'get_bar' to 'foo' seems wrong.
I have no solution for this because it is true in assembly level.
In the following output, relocation at 0x1c is no longer associated
with 'bar'. The two relocation entries point to the same symbol, and
the offset to 'bar' is encoded in the instruction 'r0, [r3, #4]'.
Disassembly of section .text:
00000000 <get_foo>:
0: e59f3004 ldr r3, [pc, #4] @ c <get_foo+0xc>
4: e5930000 ldr r0, [r3]
8: e12fff1e bx lr
c: 00000000 .word 0x00000000
00000010 <get_bar>:
10: e59f3004 ldr r3, [pc, #4] @ 1c <get_bar+0xc>
14: e5930004 ldr r0, [r3, #4]
18: e12fff1e bx lr
1c: 00000000 .word 0x00000000
Relocation section '.rel.text' at offset 0x244 contains 2 entries:
Offset Info Type Sym.Value Sym. Name
0000000c 00000c02 R_ARM_ABS32 00000000 .init.data
0000001c 00000c02 R_ARM_ABS32 00000000 .init.data
When find_elf_symbol() gets into a situation where relsym->st_name is
zero, there is no guarantee to get the symbol name as written in C.
I am keeping the current logic because it is useful in many architectures,
but the symbol name is not always correct depending on the optimization.
I left some comments in find_tosym().

rust: upgrade to Rust 1.68.2
This is the first upgrade to the Rust toolchain since the initial Rust
merge, from 1.62.0 to 1.68.2 (i.e. the latest).
# Context
The kernel currently supports only a single Rust version [1] (rather
than a minimum) given our usage of some "unstable" Rust features [2]
which do not promise backwards compatibility.
The goal is to reach a point where we can declare a minimum version for
the toolchain. For instance, by waiting for some of the features to be
stabilized. Therefore, the first minimum Rust version that the kernel
will support is "in the future".
# Upgrade policy
Given we will eventually need to reach that minimum version, it would be
ideal to upgrade the compiler from time to time to be as close as
possible to that goal and find any issues sooner. In the extreme, we
could upgrade as soon as a new Rust release is out. Of course, upgrading
so often is in stark contrast to what one normally would need for GCC
and LLVM, especially given the release schedule: 6 weeks for Rust vs.
half a year for LLVM and a year for GCC.
Having said that, there is no particular advantage to updating slowly
either: kernel developers in "stable" distributions are unlikely to be
able to use their distribution-provided Rust toolchain for the kernel
anyway [3]. Instead, by routinely upgrading to the latest instead,
kernel developers using Linux distributions that track the latest Rust
release may be able to use those rather than Rust-provided ones,
especially if their package manager allows to pin / hold back /
downgrade the version for some days during windows where the version may
not match. For instance, Arch, Fedora, Gentoo and openSUSE all provide
and track the latest version of Rust as they get released every 6 weeks.
Then, when the minimum version is reached, we will stop upgrading and
decide how wide the window of support will be. For instance, a year of
Rust versions. We will probably want to start small, and then widen it
over time, just like the kernel did originally for LLVM, see commit

bpf: Add --skip_encoding_btf_inconsistent_proto, --btf_gen_optimized to pahole flags for v1.25
v1.25 of pahole supports filtering out functions with multiple inconsistent function prototypes or optimized-out parameters from the BTF representation. These present problems because there is no additional info in BTF saying which inconsistent prototype matches which function instance to help guide attachment, and functions with optimized-out parameters can lead to incorrect assumptions about register contents. So for now, filter out such functions while adding BTF representations for functions that have "."-suffixes (foo.isra.0) but not optimized-out parameters. This patch assumes that below linked changes land in pahole for v1.25. Issues with pahole filtering being too aggressive in removing functions appear to be resolved now, but CI and further testing will confirm.

sysctl: remove register_sysctl_paths()
The deprecation for register_sysctl_paths() is over. We can rejoice as
we nuke register_sysctl_paths(). The routine register_sysctl_table()
was the only user left of register_sysctl_paths(), so we can now just
open code and move the implementation over to what used to be
to __register_sysctl_paths().
The old dynamic struct ctl_table_set *set is now the point to
sysctl_table_root.default_set.
The old dynamic const struct ctl_path *path was being used in the
routine register_sysctl_paths() with a static:
static const struct ctl_path null_path[] = { {} };
Since this is a null path we can now just simplfy the old routine
and remove its use as its always empty.
This saves us a total of 230 bytes.

locking/atomic: Correct (cmp)xchg() instrumentation
All xchg() and cmpxchg() ops are atomic RMWs, but currently we instrument these with instrument_atomic_write() rather than instrument_atomic_read_write(), missing the read aspect. Similarly, all try_cmpxchg() ops are non-atomic RMWs on *oldp, but we instrument these accesses with instrument_atomic_write() rather than instrument_read_write(), missing the read aspect and erroneously marking these as atomic.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - User events are finally ready! After lots of collaboration between various parties, we finally locked down on a stable interface for user events that can also work with user space only tracing. This is implemented by telling the kernel (or user space library, but that part is user space only and not part of this patch set), where the variable is that the application uses to know if something is listening to the trace. There's also an interface to tell the kernel about these events, which will show up in the /sys/kernel/tracing/events/user_events/ directory, where it can be enabled. When it's enabled, the kernel will update the variable, to tell the application to start writing to the kernel. See https://lwn.net/Articles/927595/ - Cleaned up the direct trampolines code to simplify arm64 addition of direct trampolines. Direct trampolines use the ftrace interface but instead of jumping to the ftrace trampoline, applications (mostly BPF) can register their own trampoline for performance reasons. - Some updates to the fprobe infrastructure. fprobes are more efficient than kprobes, as it does not need to save all the registers that kprobes on ftrace do. More work needs to be done before the fprobes will be exposed as dynamic events. - More updates to references to the obsolete path of /sys/kernel/debug/tracing for the new /sys/kernel/tracing path. - Add a seq_buf_do_printk() helper to seq_bufs, to print a large buffer line by line instead of all at once. There are users in production kernels that have a large data dump that originally used printk() directly, but the data dump was larger than what printk() allowed as a single print. Using seq_buf() to do the printing fixes that. - Add /sys/kernel/tracing/touched_functions that shows all functions that was every traced by ftrace or a direct trampoline. This is used for debugging issues where a traced function could have caused a crash by a bpf program or live patching. - Add a "fields" option that is similar to "raw" but outputs the fields of the events. It's easier to read by humans. - Some minor fixes and clean ups. * tag 'trace-v6.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: (41 commits) ring-buffer: Sync IRQ works before buffer destruction tracing: Add missing spaces in trace_print_hex_seq() ring-buffer: Ensure proper resetting of atomic variables in ring_buffer_reset_online_cpus recordmcount: Fix memory leaks in the uwrite function tracing/user_events: Limit max fault-in attempts tracing/user_events: Prevent same address and bit per process tracing/user_events: Ensure bit is cleared on unregister tracing/user_events: Ensure write index cannot be negative seq_buf: Add seq_buf_do_printk() helper tracing: Fix print_fields() for __dyn_loc/__rel_loc tracing/user_events: Set event filter_type from type ring-buffer: Clearly check null ptr returned by rb_set_head_page() tracing: Unbreak user events tracing/user_events: Use print_format_fields() for trace output tracing/user_events: Align structs with tabs for readability tracing/user_events: Limit global user_event count tracing/user_events: Charge event allocs to cgroups tracing/user_events: Update documentation for ABI tracing/user_events: Use write ABI in example tracing/user_events: Add ABI self-test ... |

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

Merge tag 'net-next-6.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next
Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
"Core:
- Introduce a config option to tweak MAX_SKB_FRAGS. Increasing the
default value allows for better BIG TCP performances
- Reduce compound page head access for zero-copy data transfers
- RPS/RFS improvements, avoiding unneeded NET_RX_SOFTIRQ when
possible
- Threaded NAPI improvements, adding defer skb free support and
unneeded softirq avoidance
- Address dst_entry reference count scalability issues, via false
sharing avoidance and optimize refcount tracking
- Add lockless accesses annotation to sk_err[_soft]
- Optimize again the skb struct layout
- Extends the skb drop reasons to make it usable by multiple
subsystems
- Better const qualifier awareness for socket casts
BPF:
- Add skb and XDP typed dynptrs which allow BPF programs for more
ergonomic and less brittle iteration through data and
variable-sized accesses
- Add a new BPF netfilter program type and minimal support to hook
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
- MPTCP: delay first subflow allocation up to its first usage. This
will allow for later better LSM interaction
- xfrm: Remove inner/outer modes from input/output path. These are
not needed anymore
- WiFi:
- reduced neighbor report (RNR) handling for AP mode
- HW timestamping support
- support for randomized auth/deauth TA for PASN privacy
- per-link debugfs for multi-link
- TC offload support for mac80211 drivers
- mac80211 mesh fast-xmit and fast-rx support
- enable Wi-Fi 7 (EHT) mesh support
Netfilter:
- Add nf_tables 'brouting' support, to force a packet to be routed
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
- Move Multicast DB netlink handlers to core, allowing devices other
then bridge to use them
- Allow the page_pool to directly recycle the pages from safely
localized NAPI
- Implement lockless TX queue stop/wake combo macros, allowing for
further code de-duplication and sanitization
- Add YNL support for user headers and struct attrs
- Add partial YNL specification for devlink
- Add partial YNL specification for ethtool
- Add tc-mqprio and tc-taprio support for preemptible traffic classes
- Add tx push buf len param to ethtool, specifies the maximum number
of bytes of a transmitted packet a driver can push directly to the
underlying device
- Add basic LED support for switch/phy
- Add NAPI documentation, stop relaying on external links
- Convert dsa_master_ioctl() to netdev notifier. This is a
preparatory work to make the hardware timestamping layer selectable
by user space
- Add transceiver support and improve the error messages for CAN-FD
controllers
