Commit 6717e8f91db7 ("kbuild: Remove 'kmod_' prefix from
__KBUILD_MODNAME") inadvertently broke module alias generation for
modules which rely on MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE().
It removed the "kmod_" prefix from __KBUILD_MODNAME, which caused
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() to generate a symbol name which no longer matched
the format expected by handle_moddevtable() in scripts/mod/file2alias.c.
As a result, modpost failed to find the device tables, leading to
missing module aliases.
Fix this by explicitly adding the "kmod_" string within the
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() macro itself, restoring the symbol name to the
format expected by file2alias.c.

For some modules, modalias is generated using the modpost utility and
the section is added to the module file.
When a module is added inside vmlinux, modpost does not generate
modalias for such modules and the information is lost.
As a result kmod (which uses modules.builtin.modinfo in userspace)
cannot determine that modalias is handled by a builtin kernel module.
$ cat /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/modalias
pci:v00008086d0000A36Dsv00001043sd00008694bc0Csc03i30
$ modinfo xhci_pci
name: xhci_pci
filename: (builtin)
license: GPL
file: drivers/usb/host/xhci-pci
description: xHCI PCI Host Controller Driver
Missing modalias "pci:v*d*sv*sd*bc0Csc03i30*" which will be generated by
modpost if the module is built separately.
To fix this it is necessary to generate the same modalias for vmlinux as
for the individual modules. Fortunately '.vmlinux.export.o' is already
generated from which '.modinfo' can be extracted in the same way as for
vmlinux.o.

At this point, if a symbol is compiled as part of the kernel,
information about which module the symbol belongs to is lost.
To save this it is possible to add the module name to the alias name.
It's not very pretty, but it's possible for now.

The maximum module name length (MODULE_NAME_LEN) is somewhat confusingly
defined in terms of the maximum parameter prefix length
(MAX_PARAM_PREFIX_LEN), when in fact the dependency is in the opposite
direction.
This split originates from commit 730b69d22525 ("module: check kernel param
length at compile time, not runtime"). The code needed to use
MODULE_NAME_LEN in moduleparam.h, but because module.h requires
moduleparam.h, this created a circular dependency. It was resolved by
introducing MAX_PARAM_PREFIX_LEN in moduleparam.h and defining
MODULE_NAME_LEN in module.h in terms of MAX_PARAM_PREFIX_LEN.
Rename MAX_PARAM_PREFIX_LEN to __MODULE_NAME_LEN for clarity. This matches
the similar approach of defining MODULE_INFO in module.h and __MODULE_INFO
in moduleparam.h.

To write code that works with both CONFIG_MODULES=y and CONFIG_MODULES=n
it is convenient to use "if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_MODULES))" over raw #ifdef.
The code will still fully typechecked but the unreachable parts are
discarded by the compiler. This prevents accidental breakage when a certain
kconfig combination was not specifically tested by the developer.
This pattern is already supported to some extend by module.h defining
empty stub functions if CONFIG_MODULES=n.
However some users of module.h work on the structured defined by module.h.
Therefore these structure definitions need to be visible, too.
Many structure members are still gated by specific configuration settings.
The assumption for those is that the code using them will be gated behind
the same configuration setting anyways.

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.

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.

DYNAMIC_FTRACE also has HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT set too, making it

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.

Therefore, the second parameter of __MODULE_INFO() is meaningless

The __mod_device_table__* symbols are only parsed by modpost to generate
MODULE_ALIAS() entries from MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE().
Therefore, these symbols do not need to be globally visible, or globally

If they are in the global scope, we would worry about the symbol
uniqueness, but modpost is fine with parsing multiple symbols with the

ITS mitigation moves the unsafe indirect branches to a safe thunk. This
could degrade the prediction accuracy as the source address of indirect
branches becomes same for different execution paths.
To improve the predictions, and hence the performance, assign a separate
thunk for each indirect callsite. This is also a defense-in-depth measure
to avoid indirect branches aliasing with each other.
As an example, 5000 dynamic thunks would utilize around 16 bits of the
address space, thereby gaining entropy. For a BTB that uses
32 bits for indexing, dynamic thunks could provide better prediction
accuracy over fixed thunks.
Have ITS thunks be variable sized and use EXECMEM_MODULE_TEXT such that
they are both more flexible (got to extend them later) and live in 2M TLBs,
just like kernel code, avoiding undue TLB pressure.

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.

The modules list and module::kallsyms can be accessed under RCU
assumption.
Remove module_assert_mutex_or_preempt() from find_module_all() so it can
be used under RCU protection without warnings. Update its callers to use
RCU protection instead of preempt_disable().

Depends on the simplifications from commit 1d7e707af446 ("Revert "x86/module: prepare module loading for ROX allocations of text"")
Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>

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.

Instead of using writable copy for module text sections, temporarily remap
the memory allocated from execmem's ROX cache as writable and restore its
ROX permissions after the module is formed.
This will allow removing nasty games with writable copy in alternatives

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.
