* dynamic debug: move ddebug_remove_module() down into free_module()Jason Baron2010-07-271-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The command echo "file ec.c +p" >/sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control causes an oops. Move the call to ddebug_remove_module() down into free_module(). In this way it should be called from all error paths. Currently, we are missing the remove if the module init routine fails.

* module: initialize module dynamic debug laterYehuda Sadeh2010-07-041-8/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | We should initialize the module dynamic debug datastructures only after determining that the module is not loaded yet. This fixes a bug that introduced in 2.6.35-rc2, where when a trying to load a module twice, we also load it's dynamic printing data twice which causes all sorts of nasty issues. Also handle the dynamic debug cleanup later on failure.

* module: fix bne2 "gave up waiting for init of module libcrc32c"Rusty Russell2010-06-051-32/+59
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Problem: it's hard to avoid an init routine stumbling over a request_module these days. And it's not clear it's always a bad idea: for example, a module like kvm with dynamic dependencies on kvm-intel or kvm-amd would be neater if it could simply request_module the right one. In this particular case, it's libcrc32c: libcrc32c_mod_init crypto_alloc_shash crypto_alloc_tfm crypto_find_alg crypto_alg_mod_lookup crypto_larval_lookup request_module If another module is waiting inside resolve_symbol() for libcrc32c to finish initializing (ie. bne2 depends on libcrc32c) then it does so holding the module lock, and our request_module() can't make progress until that is released. Waiting inside resolve_symbol() without the lock isn't all that hard: we just need to pass the -EBUSY up the call chain so we can sleep where we don't hold the lock. Error reporting is a bit trickier: we need to copy the name of the unfinished module before releasing the lock. Other notes: 1) This also fixes a theoretical issue where a weak dependency would allow symbol version mismatches to be ignored. 2) We rename use_module to ref_module to make life easier for the only external user (the out-of-tree ksplice patches).

* module: verify_export_symbols under the lockRusty Russell2010-06-051-16/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | It disabled preempt so it was "safe", but nothing stops another module slipping in before this module is added to the global list now we don't hold the lock the whole time. So we check this just after we check for duplicate modules, and just before we put the module in the global list. (find_symbol finds symbols in coming and going modules, too).

* module: move find_module check to endLinus Torvalds2010-06-051-5/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I think Rusty may have made the lock a bit _too_ finegrained there, and didn't add it to some places that needed it. It looks, for example, like PATCH 1/2 actually drops the lock in places where it's needed ("find_module()" is documented to need it, but now load_module() didn't hold it at all when it did the find_module()). Rather than adding a new "module_loading" list, I think we should be able to just use the existing "modules" list, and just fix up the locking a bit. In fact, maybe we could just move the "look up existing module" a bit later - optimistically assuming that the module doesn't exist, and then just undoing the work if it turns out that we were wrong, just before adding ourselves to the list.

* module: Make the 'usage' lists be two-wayLinus Torvalds2010-06-051-31/+48
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When adding a module that depends on another one, we used to create a one-way list of "modules_which_use_me", so that module unloading could see who needs a module. It's actually quite simple to make that list go both ways: so that we not only can see "who uses me", but also see a list of modules that are "used by me". In fact, we always wanted that list in "module_unload_free()": when we unload a module, we want to also release all the other modules that are used by that module. But because we didn't have that list, we used to first iterate over all modules, and then iterate over each "used by me" list of that module. By making the list two-way, we simplify module_unload_free(), and it allows for some trivial fixes later too.

The problem was a deadlock: we wait for a module to finish initializing, but we keep the module_lock mutex so it can't complete. In particular, this could reasonably happen if a module does a request_module() in its initialization routine. So we change use_module() to return an errno rather than a bool, and if it's -EBUSY we drop the lock and wait in the caller, then reaquire the lock.

As cpu stoppers are guaranteed to be available for all online cpus, stop_machine_create/destroy() are no longer necessary and removed. With resource management and synchronization handled by cpu_stop, the new implementation is much simpler. Asking the cpu_stop to execute the stop_cpu() state machine on all online cpus with cpu hotplug disabled is enough. stop_machine itself doesn't need to manage any global resources anymore, so all per-instance information is rolled into struct stop_machine_data and the mutex and all static data variables are removed. The previous implementation created and destroyed RT workqueues as necessary which made stop_machine() calls highly expensive on very large machines. According to Dimitri Sivanich, preventing the dynamic creation/destruction makes booting faster more than twice on very large machines. cpu_stop resources are preallocated for all online cpus and should have the same effect.

However there is a race when tallying the counter where a reference may be taken by one CPU and released by another. Reference count summation may then see the decrement without having seen the previous increment, leading to lower than expected count. A module which never has its actual reference drop below 1 may return a reference count of 0 due to this race. Module removal generally runs under stop_machine, which prevents this race causing bugs due to removal of in-use modules. However there are other real bugs in module.c code and driver code (module_refcount is exported) where the callers do not run under stop_machine. Fix this by maintaining running per-cpu counters for the number of module refcount increments and the number of refcount decrements. The increments are tallied after the decrements, so any decrement seen will always have its corresponding increment counted. The final refcount is the difference of the total increments and decrements, preventing a low-refcount from being returned.

* | modules: don't export section names of empty sections via sysfsHelge Deller2009-12-021-1/+4
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On the parisc architecture we face for each and every loaded kernel module this kernel "badness warning": sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/module/ac97_bus/sections/.text' Badness at fs/sysfs/dir.c:487 Reason for that is, that on parisc all kernel modules do have multiple .text sections due to the usage of the -ffunction-sections compiler flag which is needed to reach all jump targets on this platform. An objdump on such a kernel module gives: Sections: Idx Name Size VMA LMA File off Algn 0 .note.gnu.build-id 00000024 00000000 00000000 00000034 2**2 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, DATA 1 .text 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000058 2**0 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE 2 .text.ac97_bus_match 0000001c 00000000 00000000 00000058 2**2 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE 3 .text 00000000 00000000 00000000 000000d4 2**0 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE ... Since the .text sections are empty (size of 0 bytes) and won't be loaded by the kernel module loader anyway, I don't see a reason why such sections need to be listed under /sys/module/<module_name>/sections/<section_name> either. The attached patch does solve this issue by not exporting section names which are empty.

All other callers in module.c all protect it with an if; this effectively does the same as free_init is only goto if we fail percpu_modalloc().

In our case, we actually get read/write/exec protection down to the page boundary so processes can't stomp on each other let alone the kernel. There is a performance decrease (which depends greatly on the workload) however as the hardware/software interaction was not optimized at design time.
