- scripts: Disable use of klp-convert
klp-convert tool was introduced to improve a situation with unexported
symbols while preparing live patches. However, it is still not stable
enough and upstream still needs to decide the purpose of the tool. Given
that it is used only for uname patch and only on SLE15-SP1 it is better
to just disable it for now.
At the same, leave the infrastructure in place, because we might use it
in the future.

- scripts: Generate ExclusiveArch in spec file dynamically
s390x support is slowly being introduced for newly created
master-livepatch based branches. In order to avoid problems with existing
branches for e.g. the maintenance team, don't add s390x to the hard-coded
list of ExclusiveArchs, but let tar-up.sh enable it dynamically depending
on the codestream in question.
For now, s390x builds will be enabled on SLE12-SP5, beginning with
SLE12-SP5_Update_3 onwards.

- uname_patch: convert to the syscall stub wrapper macros from klp_syscalls.h
In order to make the live patch to the newuname() syscall work on
kernels >= 4.17 again, convert it to the KLP_SYSCALL_*() wrapper macros
provided by klp_syscalls.h.
References: bsc#1149841
- commit b5af38e

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sat Sep 7 18:53:15 CEST 2019 - nstange@suse.de

- Provide wrapper macros for syscall naming
Live patching syscall stubs is a common task, for example any live patch
package modifies the newuname syscall.
For the actual definitions of the live patched syscall stubs, the
__SYSCALL_DEFINEx() name can always be (and often has been) used like e.g.
__SYSCALL_DEFINEx(3, _klp_timer_create, const clockid_t, which_clock,
struct sigevent __user *, timer_event_spec,
timer_t __user *, created_timer_id)
{
/* New implementation */
}
Up to kernel 4.16, this used to define a function named
"SyS_klp_timer_create" which could then be used to live patch the
"SyS_timer_create".
However, beginning with kernel version 4.17, resp. upstream commits
- fa697140f9a2 ("syscalls/x86: Use 'struct pt_regs' based syscall calling
convention for 64-bit syscalls")
- e145242ea0df ("syscalls/core, syscalls/x86: Clean up syscall stub
naming convention")
- d5a00528b58c ("syscalls/core, syscalls/x86: Rename struct pt_regs-based
sys_*() to __x64_sys_*()"),
things became more complex:
- The naming of the resulting stubs now varies across architecture.
- Some architectures (x86_64, s390x) instantiate an additional
compat stub for syscalls sharing a common implementation between 32 and
64 bits. (The 32 bit entry code used to convert from the 32 bit ABI to
64 bit and simply call the 64 bit syscall stub afterwards. That's
handled by the new 32 bit stubs now.)
- The stubs' signatures have changed: each argument used to get mapped
to either long or long long, but on x86_64, the stubs are now receiving
a single struct pt_regs only -- it's their responsibility to extract
the arguments as appropriate.
In order to not require each and every live patch touching syscalls to
include an insane amount of ifdeffery, provide a set of #defines hiding it:
1.) KLP_SYSCALL_SYM(name) expands to the syscall stub name for 64 bits
as defined by _SYSCALL_DEFINEx(x, _name, ...).
2.) If the architeture requires 32bit specific stubs for syscalls sharing
a common implementation between 32 and 64bits, the
KLP_ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_COMPAT_STUBS macro is defined.
3.) If KLP_ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_COMPAT_STUBS is defined, then
KLP_SYSCALL_COMPAT_STUB_SYM(name) expands to the syscall stub name
for 32 bits as defined by _SYSCALL_DEFINEx(x, _name, ...).
4.) For syscalls not sharing a common implementation between 32 and
64 bits, i.e. those defined by COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx(),
the macro KLP_COMPAT_SYSCALL_SYM(name) expands to the stub name
defined as defined by COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx(x, _name, ...).
5.) Finally, for hiding differences between the signatures,
provide the macro KLP_SYSCALL_DECLx(x, sym, ...) which
expands to a declaration of sym, with the x arguments either
mapped to long resp. long long each, or collapsed to a single
struct pt_regs argument as appropriate for the architecture.
Note that these macros are defined as appropriate on kernels before and
after 4.17, so that live patch code can be shared.

- scripts/create-makefile.sh: add -I flag for toplevel directory to ccflags-y
Since upstream commit 58156ba4468f ("kbuild: skip 'addtree' and 'flags'
magic for external module build") Kbuild won't add an -I flag for an
external module's toplevel source directory to the compilation flags
anymore.
This results in compilation errors like the following:
uname_patch/livepatch_uname.c:36:10: fatal error: klp_convert.h: No such
file or directory
#include "klp_convert.h"
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fix this by appending '-I$(obj)' to ccflags-y within the Makefile created
by scripts/create-makefile.sh. Note that "$(obj)" is set to the current
source directory before the Makefile is sourced by Kbuild.

- livepatch_main.c: Adaptation to a new livepatch API

the old or the new API. Use it and change the module init and exit
functions accordingly.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Feb 6 14:12:44 CET 2019 - mbenes@suse.cz

- Define macros to switch easily between klp-convert and kallsyms
Kallsyms trick does not have to be used for resolving undefined symbols
when klp-convert is available. It would be great though to share live
patches sources between both modes of operation.
Define macros to help with the task. Their definitions depend on
whether USE_KLP_CONVERT macro is defined. tar-up.sh script is
responsible to decide.

Wed Feb 6 10:53:44 CET 2019 - mbenes@suse.cz

- Use klp-convert where provided
klp-convert tool converts undefined symbols in a live patch kernel module
to special relocation records which are resolved by the kernel. It
allows to omit kallsyms tricks.

used depending on a codestream. SLE15-SP1 is supported currently.

Sun Jul 8 13:02:18 CEST 2018 - nstange@suse.de

- scripts/register-patches.sh: implement conditional inclusion
Currently, subpatches provide a patched_funcs.csv file describing what
needs to be patched. register-patches.sh inspects those to assemble one
global klp_patch structure.
The current format for these patched_funcs.csv's is
obj old_func(,sympos) newfun
However, sometimes subpatches depend on some kernel configuration values
like CONFIG_X86_64 and functions shall get patched only if the target
kernel configuration matches.
Extends the patched_funcs.csv format to
obj old_func(,sympos) newfun (cpp condition)
where everything coming after 'newfun' is taken to be a CPP condition to be
used for conditional inclusion. In case there's no condition specified,
assign that entry the same semantics as if a '1' had been given.
Make register-patches.sh guard the corresponding klp_func entries with #if
pragmas.
Furthermore, let it guard the enclosing klp_object instances by or'ing
together all its klp_funcs' conditions.
For the sake of better readability, omit redundant #if pragmas as well as
condition clauses. In particular,
- if a function entry hasn't got any condition explicitly specified,
there won't be any #if pragma, neither at the klp_func nor at the
klp_object level,
- if multiple function entries for an object are protected by the same
condition, it'll be or'ed in at the klp_object level only once,
- if all of an object's functions share the same condition, no #if pragmas
will be emitted at the klp_func level because they would only duplicate
what's already there for the enclosing object and
- multiple subsequent function entries sharing the same condition get
collated.

- scripts/register-patches.sh: allow spaces as patched_funcs.csv separators
Currently there's one single cut(1) usage which requires that (single) tabs
are used as field separators for the patched_funcs.csv.
As the rest of the code can deal with sequences of any whitespace already,
this imposes an unnecessary restriction on the format.
Substitute that cut(1) usage by a sed(1) invocation as appropriate.

Mon Mar 5 15:44:31 CET 2018 - nstange@suse.de

- shadow variables: allow for dynamic initialization
Currently, the only shadow variable initialization scheme exposed by the
allocation API is to let klp_shadow_alloc() resp. klp_shadow_get_or_alloc()
memcpy some user provided buffer to the freshly allocated shadow variable.
This is too limited for shadow structures containing pointers into
themselves like list_heads or mutexes.
Change the internal __klp_shadow_get_or_alloc() to take a pointer to an
initializer functions and call that in place of the memcpy() operation.
In order to retain former functionality of klp_shadow_alloc() and
klp_shadow_get_or_alloc(), make them pass the new
__klp_shadow_memcpy_init() wrapper to __klp_shadow_get_or_alloc().
Finally, introduce the new klp_shadow_alloc_with_init() and
klp_shadow_get_or_alloc_with_init() which pass a user provided initializer
function pointer onwards to __klp_shadow_get_or_alloc().

Tue Oct 31 10:34:52 CET 2017 - nstange@suse.de

- scripts/register_patches.sh: generate klp_object array
The KLP API doesn't take a flat list of to be patched functions
like KGraft did, but introduces an intermediate layer: struct
klp_object.
Each klp_patch instance is supposed to reference an array of
klp_object's which in turn provide an array of klp_func's each.
To facilitate merging, we want to generate this list of klp_object's
automatically, exactly like we did for the flat function list with KGraft.
For each klp_patch instance, there must be at most one klp_object entry
referring to the same object.
Hence care must be taken not to add an entry for the same object twice
in case two different (sub-)patches both patch some functions therein.
Require from each (sub-)patch to provide the list of to be patched
symbols in a file named SUBPATCH/patched_funcs.csv with each line
conforming to the
obj old_func(,sympos) new_func
pattern.
Make scripts/register.sh generate an klp_object array initializer based on
this and let it expand the @@KLP_PATCHES_OBJS@@ tag within livepatch_main.c
accordingly.
Do not replace the now obsolete @@KLP_PATCHES_FUNCS@@ anymore.
Add and remove the @@KLP_PATCHES_OBJS@@ and @@KLP_PATCHES_FUNCS@@
markers to and from livepatch_main.c respectively.

- shadow variables: add KGR_SHADOW_ID helper

Thu Oct 5 12:12:28 CEST 2017 - nstange@suse.de

- shadow variables: share shadow data among KGraft modules
As it stands, each KGraft module maintains its own set of shadow variable
management structures and thus, shadow variables are not sharable between
livepatch modules.
This behaviour is different from the upstream implementation and, as
pointed out by Miroslav Benes, it also opens up an opportunity for a small
window where the system might become vulnerable again during transition as
we stack new livepatches on top.
Let all KGraft patches share the shadow data.
Sharing is implemented by moving the management structures from a KGraft
module's .data to dynamically allocated memory. Each KGraft module will
have specifically named pointers, 'kgr_shadow_hash12' and
'kgr_shadow_lock12', referencing them.
Upon initialization, a KGraft module will discover already existing such
shadow data by kallsyms-searching all loaded modules for these pointer
symbols. If none is found, a new instance is allocated. The newly
introduced kgr_shadow_init() implementing this is idempotent and can thus
be called from the bsc# subpatches' initializers if needed.
Upon KGraft module removal, the new kgr_shadow_cleanup() will conduct
another kallsyms search and deallocate the shadow data in case there are
no more users. kgr_shadow_cleanup() is also idempotent.
Initialization and teardown of the common shadow data is serialized with
the module_mutex which has to be taken for the kallsyms search anyway.

- shadow variables: introduce upstream patch
Joe Lawrence posted the sixth version of his shadow variable patch [1]
implementing the association of additional out-of-band data members to
existing structure instances from livepatches.
Jiri Kosina has applied this to his
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jikos/livepatching.git for-4.15/shadow-variables
tree and thus, it's queued up and close to getting merged.
The plan is to eventually backport this shadow variable support to SLE
kernels, but we also want to have it usable from KGraft modules by now.
Port the implementation to the kraft-patches module.
Namely,
- dump shadow.c in it's current upstream state as it is after commits
439e7271dc2b ("livepatch: introduce shadow variable API")
5d9da759f758 ("livepatch: __klp_shadow_get_or_alloc() is local to
shadow.c")
19205da6a0da ("livepatch: Small shadow variable documentation fixes")
- add a shadow.h header and declare the newly introduced functions there
- and incorporate the new files into the KGraft module's build system.

- scripts/register-patches.sh: register subpatch sources in rpm spec
In order to reduce the manual merging work upon addition of new
(sub)patches, commit 4e8dc885be22 ("scripts: create kgr_patch_main.c
dynamically") introduced the register-patches.sh helper. It discovers
those and tweaks the main entry point, kgr_patch_main.c, as needed.
However, a remaining manual merging task is to list a (sub)patch's source
archive in rpm/kgraft-patch.spec and to %setup it.
Make scripts/register-patches.sh do this.
Namely,
- introduce the @@KGR_PATCHES_SOURCES@@ and @@KGR_PATCHES_SETUP_SOURCES@@
placeholders in rpm/kgraft-patch.spec

- scripts/register-patches.sh: don't add ','s to @@KGR_PATCHES_FUNCS@@
register-patches.sh expands kgr_patch_main.c's @@KGR_PATCHES_FUNCS@@
placeholder by concatenating all available patches' KGR_PATCH_<XY>_FUNCS
together, separating them by commas.
The KGR_PATCH_<XY>_FUNCS are CPP macros supposed to be provided by each
patch. If one of these happens to be empty, the preprocessed expansion
will contain two consecutive commas which gcc doesn't like in array
initializers.
Do not add any commas to the @@KGR_PATCHES_FUNCS@@ expansion but require
the individual KGR_PATCH_<XY>_FUNCS macros to already contain trailing
ones as needed.

- scripts: create kgr_patch_main.c dynamically
The kgraft-patches repository has got many branches, each corresponding
to a supported codestream. Each of those carries a potentially different
set of live (sub)patches which are controlled through the entry points in
kgr_patch_main.c. According to Miroslav, merging of a new (sub)patch
based on the pristine master is a pita due to conflicts.
Since all (sub)patches stick to certain conventions already, the required
modifications of the merging-hotspot kgr_patch_main.c are quite mechanic.
Let a script do the work.
Namely,
- insert some special @@-embraced placeholders at the few places depending
on the actual set of (sub)patches,
- let register-patches.sh discover the available (sub)patches by searching
for directories
- and let register-patches.sh replace those placeholders in
kgr_patch_main.c
Finally, add a register-patches.sh invocation to tar-up.sh.
This procedure requires that a SUBPATCH located in directory SUBPATCH/
adheres to the following conventions:
- It must provide a provide a SUBPATCH/kgr_patch_SUBPATCH.h header.
- This header must provide declarations for kgr_patch_SUBPATCH_init()
and kgr_patch_SUBPATCH_cleanup().
- This header must also #define a KGR_PATCH_SUBPATCH_FUNCS macro.
It should expand to a comma separated list of KGR_PATCH*() entries,
each corresponding to a function the subpatch wants to replace.

- Add compat.h to deal with changes of KGR_PATCH macro
Sympos patch set for kGraft redefined KGR_PATCH macro and added two new
ones. Add new compat.h which contains macro magic so that all kGraft
patches would work on both old and new kernels with the patch set
merged.

- Set immediate flag to false
Using immediate set to true can lead to BUGs and oopses when
downgrading, reverting or applying replace_all patches. There is no way
how to find out if there is a process in the old code which is being
removed. The module would be put, removed and the process will crash.
The consistency model guarantees that there is no one in the old code
when the finalization ends. Thus use it for all case to be safe.

SLE12_Update_<n> in the update branches.
